Check ’em out!(Louis Wu…

Hawty McBloggy wants to make sure you understand the issues before you cast your ballot for the next president of the United States. (Assuming, of course, that you CAN cast a ballot for the next president of the US – sorry, kids/people in other countries). She’s put together a comparison of candidates… using Halo resources.…

The next chapter of Daniel ‘Tyrant’ Morris’ Solo Legendary All Skulls On guide to beating Halo 3 on the toughest possible difficulty is now live. The Ark is a massive level, and requires a LOT of video content to get you through. There are twenty separate videos for this one – the level has been…

The Handmade Hero pointed out a trick jumping vid made by a group called Jump Theory, called ‘Circatage’. It shows off some amazing jumps. Clearly many of them were done with non-standard settings (‘standard’ meaning ‘base matchmaking’)… but all of the tricks are pretty incredible. (The cone-jumpers were definitely some of the most impressive.) Check…
