  • Halo 3: Confirmed Kills, Episode 10

    A video series called ‘Confirmed Kills’ has released Episode 10 – it’s a multikill special.

If you’ve got some cool kills, send…

  • There goes that 99% SLA

    Whee doggies! I love leaving the country. This morning, I got an email from the company that hosts the files*.bungie.org servers.
