Vash10 pointed out a tiny clip of the tv show Dexter, showing off Dexter playing Halo 3… on a computer. With bizarro sounds. Probably something to do with Microsoft Usage Rules… (Louis Wu 19:18:45 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy ran across a pair of shoes that combine a love for Bioshock and Halo in a very flamboyant way. I don’t think I’d ever wear these – but I’m sure some people would! (Louis Wu 19:18:11 UTC)

Hindsight can be amazing. Gamasutra sat down with Ed Fries, who was the Microsoft VP of Game Publishing when the Xbox hit the market back in 2001, and he had some interesting things to say about Halo.

Great…

Bryan Simon couldn’t stay away from the community – he’s back, with a new song. And I guess he decided he had to sing about me. (I have that effect on people.) Go watch him sing “The Song for BK’s” on YouTube. Or just download the mp3 from us (3.5 mb). (Louis Wu 16:56:11 UTC)

eckosama stopped by to prove that there are people with more time than… well, pretty much anything. He’s gone back to AotCR, in the original Halo, to put together a gigantic vehicle collection. Have these been done before? Absolutely. Have any of the old ones used every single vehicle in the level? I’m not sure.…
