There’s a discussion right now on our forum about the new Hill Bungie’s developed for King of the Hill games in Halo 3. Stuntmutt’s view on this seems to echo my own – check today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 16:32:42 UTC)

Jobyn stopped by to point out an interview with DTS Wheels, of the Tied the Leader Gunslingers, in the current issue of The Blue Skittle magazine. The man’s pretty eloquent – go read about the philosophy of the clan, and what they’re trying to do in t…

Sodagod wrote to point out a new Machine Enema project… ‘Bench’. A janitor discovers a homicidal… sitting place? This one’s pretty odd… but as with all Machine Enema projects, it’s really, really well-done. Worth the download. Almost 8 minutes l…
