  • The Unwritten Rules of

    Hawty McBloggy nails down why many of us wake up bleary-eyed after a night of Halo-playing with your friends. I think the solution is to say “I’m playing all night!” and then turning off your Xbox.(Louis Wu 17:15:58 UTC)

  • The Weekend With Hawty

    Hawty McBloggy posted a couple of new things this weekend – yesterday, she tore into a new episode of ‘Confirmed Kills’ – her comments are funnier than the clips. And this morning, she posted a cross-stitch pattern created by a somewhat sadistic fan who wanted to see how often HB could stick a needle in…

  • Grinchian Grins and Color Blindness

    The Bungie Weekly Update is up… but it’s light. If you’re not interested in golf (and Bungie’s playing of it), and if you’ve already listened to the podcast… there’s not a huge amount of material that’s new.
