    Link: http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=4330528 Description: Stumbled across this thread in the Bungie forums and decided to use our new “Submit New: Link” feature to share. Follow the thread down to Lord Asano’s eloquent reply. (I agree wholeheartedly)

  • Burn Rubber and Plastic at the Same Time

    Apparently the 360 Wireless Racing Wheel may get a bit smoky when plugged into your wall outlet. Yes, I know it sounds strange, but the wireless racing wheel is only wireless in regards to how it communicates with the 360. You need to plug it into the wall to experience the surprisingly strong force feedback…

  • Xbox 360 Messenger Kit Release Date: 9/7/07

    I’m excited about this peripheral. It should aid in setting up games and speed up communication between people that may be trying to get into games with one another. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to send a quick messa…

  • EA Sports Nascar ’08 (Xbox 360) First Impressions

    Long story short, I like it. A good way to describe this game would be to compare it to previous versions, namely Nascar ‘06 for the original Xbox. So far I would recommend sticking with the oval/tri-oval courses (which are, by far, the majorit…

  • Nascar ’08 Releases This Month for 360

    I’m a Nascar fan, but if your like a lot of people, you probably wonder why in the world anyone would like a racing event where the drivers do nothing but drive in circles for hours at a time. Much less, why would you want to play a video game where a…

  • The Man Behind the Iris ARG Curtain?

    Do you know this man? If you hang with us, you should. His name is Jordan Weisman, founder of the company 42 Entertainment, ARG and storytelling extraordinaires, and he’s most likely the mastermind behind the current “Iris” ARG we’re currently losing …

  • Shadowrun Paperweights only $49.99…?

    We’ve all heard of the technical problems people have been having lately with the new titles utilizing Games for Windows Live, namely Halo 2 Vista and Shadowrun. Well, my situation with GFW is a bit worse than not being able to connect to an online g…

    There is currently a delay from downloading the H3 Beta through the Crackdown method. Frankie states on Bungie.net that they are working on the problem. “Folks are reporting problems downloading the Halo 3 Beta via Crackdown this morning. We have aler…

  • Halo 3 Beta Video Extravaganza!

    Note: This is some H3 Beta Video farming I’ve done from Youtube. For some non-crappy quality Halo vids, I suggest GamingTV.org http://gamingtv.org/home/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=0&Itemid=50 … and more …

  • Wii want to play, but can’t.

    I went on a little expedition today to grab Super Paper Mario and pick up a Wii. Evidently Wii’s are still pretty hard to get these days. Every store on this side of Huntsville was completely sold out. After talking with some of the sales people, I…

    Remember those picture based adventure games that simulated a 3d environment, only they were just 2d pictures that …

  • Xbox 360 HD Transfer Kits

    Gotta love the free market. I was on a quest to find Halo PC tonight. I eventually found it at CompUSA, but I was on the lookout for anything strange that I haven’t seen before. At Circuit City I found some interesting 360 data transfer devices: The price on the first image is probably incorrect,…

  • GRAW 2 PC Multiplayer Beta Coming Soon

    The GRAW 2 PC multiplayer beta signups are supposed to be coming in early April sometime (This month). I’m not sure what regions are going to be allowed into the beta, but I would hope, with such a large market in the US, some might get in. The announcement comes off of their UK website…

  • Shadowrun NDA Lifted

    As reported by rapture here the Shadowrun Non Disclosure Agreement has been lifted allowing the beta testers to fully talk about the game without worrying about getting a lawsuit slapped on them. This comes soon after a not so smart beta tester decided to break the NDA and post a video of himself playing the…

  • Fan Made Halo AR Replica

    Check out this fan made Halo AR Replica reported on HBO. Here’s, Link4044’s website with some more pictures. I’ve always wondered how this thing was to be held because of the strange stock on it. Not sure if I’d want to have to fight with something this weird in real life though. It seems there’s…

  • The Battlefield 2142 Command System

    I played some Battlefield 2142 multiplayer some more tonight and here’s a little rundown of the command system in place. Long story short: being a commander is FUN! At the beginning of the game you get a chance to apply for the position of commander of your team. The computer will decide whether or not…
