Continuing on in our coverage of Halo 2 before it dies on Live, this week’s show focuses on the multiplayer aspect of Halo 2. Because this podcast was started for Halo 2 multiplayer, we decided to bring the man, himself in to discuss the good ‘ole days: foomojive. Since Dust Storm didn’t have an XBOX or Halo 2 when it was new, Brent and foomo drive the conversation talking about all the different popular customs on all the maps. And there’s more Pokémon. Enjoy this 3 hour show.

Sticky Business
ChrisOfTheDead is back with another montage – this one is called ‘I am going to stick you! (even if it kills me)’, and it focuses on (surprise) sticks. I think I’d have liked it better if a smaller percentage of the clips showed the sticker actually survive the encounter… thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 18:17:34 UTC)
