    Check out The 10th Dancetage – there’s a lot in there to shake your head at, but there’s also a ton of funny stuff (and a very clever use of Puckett pro commentary). Don’t take it too seriously (and turn the volume down if you’re at work).(Louis Wu 14:47:33 UTC)

  • Picking Apart the Pieces

    Reach trailer analysis pieces are appearing at large gaming sites – I need to thank the HaloGAF population for keeping up on this stuff.

    Last month, we mentioned AdweekMedia’s ‘Commercial of the Decade’ poll to pick the best commercial of the first 10 years of the 21st century, because Halo’s Believe ad had made the finalists.
