Bad Cyborg Movies
Rockslider’s been a contributor to our forum for years – he tends to play the heck out of Halo’s campaign (well, Halo and Halo 3, anyway – he was pretty unhappy with Halo 2), and then write up his findings. Until recently, however, he had no way of collecting screenshots or video – so his…

A fan speaks up
It’s not an official review – but it’s a great read. Over at NeoGAF, Hazimov wrote up some of what he liked, and didn’t like, about Halo 3: ODST. Good thinking there. (I, too, have had some trouble finding the last few audio logs – I’m dying to hear the end of the story.) (Louis…

RT: Ellen Idol

So the big news with housewives and Geoffs is that Ellen Degeneres is replacing Paula Abdul permanently on American Idol. I have no idea what kind of musical expertise she has, but she’s a Porsche de Rossi expert, so that makes her qualified for anything in my book. After you’ve read today’s comic, then guffawed…
