The Eye of Sauron, Halo 3 Style
Burr discovered a pretty cool little glitch on Sandtrap; looks like Bungie left in some code from an old way of keeping you on the playing field. Go read about it (and check out his pictures). There are other pics scattered throughout the thread, as other forumgoers played with this…(Louis Wu 13:18:41 UTC)

Res ipsa ioquitur
Interesting work by Fëanor and friends, on our forum – the original post was made yesterday morning, with an amended version put up 14 hours later; he’s taken all the latin names of Halo’s species, as listed in the Bestiarium, and translated them as well as possible. Did you know that Drones were ‘King of Ugly’? Me either.(Louis Wu 13:16:11 UTC)

Episode 149: Multiplayer Tips and Map of the Month: Construct
Download | Shownotes
We’re back and ready to rumble with a great multiplayer show. We read off your tips on how to level up and stay there and get into some very helpful general multiplayer tips as well. Guest hosting this week is TRUTH N JUSTICE, a friend… well we explain that in the show.
JVB and I just got back from the Gamertag Radio Community Vib3s event in Miami, Florida and it was a great time. Naturally there was a Halo tournament there and we got to talk to the winner along with some very knowledgeable and cool PMS Clan ladies. They give some really good tips on how to break through the glass wall to the higher levels in Halo. Pod Art this week is courtesy of Mark Romans. Strap in, this one’s a burly 1:17. Oh and at the end… get ready for a surprise!

Internet – closing, temporarily.
And… that’s it for a bit. Sunday is a travel day – we should be back on US soil by late afternoon, and home before nightfall. If all goes well. No more news, though, before HBO’s clock ticks over to Monday morning. I’ll leave you with this: HBO has no way of providing anyone with Recon armor, or getting you in touch with someone at Bungie who can give you Recon armor. We can’t even tell you how to earn it – except to remind you that asking for it is absolutely the easiest way to remove yourself from the list of POTENTIAL recipients. Play Halo, do fun stuff, and stop asking us for it!(Louis Wu 04:11:06 UTC)
