c0ld vengeance pointed out an article over at Destructoid – someone wondered what sort of role sexual orientation should play in games. Interestingly enough, a character with NO visible sexuality (Master Chief) was less ‘real’ than one with a sexual preference that differed from the writer’s (Uncharted 2)! Not sure I understand that…(Louis Wu 15:00:32…

Reclaimer’s back (thanks, TTL Demag0gue) – Episode 224 (Uncloaked Mysteries) was even posted a bit early last night, to make up for the dry spell.

No Halo goodies – but there ARE some Superintendent ones… swing by the Bungie Store to see the new stuff they’ve added. (Remember; Bungie no longer owns the rights to Halo, so they can’t sell Halo-branded stuff there; don’t get on their case TOO much about this. Hey, urk – how about a Superintendent plushie?…

A couple of new montages for your viewing pleasure, courtesy of Bungie’s Comm Chatter:Top 10 MLG Plays, Episode 10, from B Mc Gann, has (as you’d expect) some impressive matchmaking play.

You might remember smick6 – he created a pretty cool Brute Spiker last year. He’s back, with a spike grenade he whipped up for the Operation Chastity crew – he sent us some pics.

BladedExpert posted what he thinks is his last Halo 3 montage – it’s 3 minutes long, full of combo-kills, and is very nicely timed. Not a lot of fancy editing – but a good montage doesn’t NEED fancy editing, it needs good clips, and good timing. This has both.(Louis Wu 15:40:39 UTC)

Fans are getting loud – I guess they want to be heard. A couple of days ago, Hawaiian Pig kicked off a large thread on our forum, asking how many people were still playing Halo 3: ODST? Various arms of the thread debated the replayability of the game, the weaknesses of certain choices Bungie made,…
