There’s an interesting piece over at Tied the Leader today – apparently, the Gunslingers are playing quite a bit of Call of Duty 4 these days, like many other people on Xbox Live, and XerxdeeJ looks at some of the reasons why. He also speculates on how long it’ll stay on top, given its strengths…

Elnea’s posted Episode 117 (!!!) of her Halo Action Figure Theater – things are looking grim for Admiral Norris! However, the fact that she actually modeled a UNSCDF badge for his hat makes everything better. That… or the cake.(Louis Wu 14:41:27 UTC)

If you’re interested in speedrunning Halo levels, you could just watch the videos at HighSpeedHalo.net – they’ll show you how others are doing it. However, if you’re looking for philosophy of route-taking, you need a blog entry. Ken Henderson has written up a piece on how to beat The Covenant in 20 minutes – I…

Halo 2 was released on November 9, 2004 – and from that point, until the week of November 13, 2006, it was the number one most played game on Xbox LIVE. (Part of that long, long run has to do with a dearth of killer titles for the time frame in question… but certainly Halo…

As Ross Mills says, this is probably stretching it, but… OhGizmo compares the new Samsung Silencio Cylinder Vacuum to MC’s helmet. When you’re done sniggering, you’ll have to admit… there IS a slight resemblance.(Louis Wu 23:10:55 UTC)

Darkphibre has updated his Statistics Tracking Utility to work with Halo 3 – it’s a client-side tool, meaning you don’t have to access a website (other than Bungie.net) to view the stats. It requires the .NET 2.0 framework – not sure which Microsoft operating systems that includes, but it’s probably most of them. Take a…
