Joystiq wonders why there aren’t many online GoW games happening anymore. Perhaps that’s because they are LANning GoW in my dining room? If you fire up Joystiq.com, you’ll notice an image of some THX’ers playing GoW. Yup. That’s a picture taken f…

Recently the Seventh Column came back online. You recall that Bungie.net got a makeover. The old THX group is still on there. A lot of information has been lost over the years. It looks like a lot of accounts have been deleted and that most all o…

Pretty cool. FASA has released a ton of stats they collected during the beta. (They actually collected from pretty complex stats like “distance bullets traveled” and other complex stats). Kill to Death ratio stats Gamer Tag Kills Deaths …

HALO3.com has been updated with some new information. Among the new content is a listing of weapons. The first one listed? The M6D. Unfortunately, we get no performance information. However, they do mention the 2x scope. What if HALO 3 ships with …

The Call of Duty series is fast forwarding from WWII to modern times. CoD4 will put you in battle with terrorists in the Middle East. Check out the video for more details. Other than the details, very little is known about the title. Infinity War…

It was good to see some old (is long-time a better word?) THX’ers join up to the HALO 2 action last night. We’ve been having 6-8 regulars each night since the two new HALO maps came out. If you’ve got old or new XBOX hardware and have some time, come…

Who’s got an XBOX 360 with a hard drive and didn’t buy Crackdown? Just wondering… 🙂 BTW: Is anyone still playing Crackdown? __________________________ rapzilla blog | Shadowrun | HALO 2 Vista | cooked Gamers

I’ve been getting into liquid cooling lately as I’m building my new gaming PC. I came across this piece of hardware that I had not heard about. Koolance sells the liquid cooling kit on their website for $289 and it …
