Invasion of teh IRC! Quality Jeverage and the gang give us the perfect perscription to chill out and just hang with some crazy Podtacular peeps. Sounds good to me! More discussion in the forums.
Recently I got the opportunity to sit on a sumo all weekend and tell you all about it. Somehow that doesn’t sound right. Anyway I got to try out this sweet gaming chair from Sumo Lounge and here’s my review on how this not so little number holds up to the rigors of hardcore gaming sessions. What happens when you spill red bull on it? Does it double as a loveseat? And the big question: does it come with the girl in the picture?? Read on to find out…
I got this puppy in a giant box that looked like it had a refridgerator in it. I opened it up, threw it on the ground, and promptly went to sleep on it. Fortunately it was much more comfortable than sleeping on a fridge. The beans inside conform to your body and while they are pretty rigid when you’re settled in, it is ultra comfy because it matches all your curves.

This is no ordinary Wal-Mart bean bag. It’s made of tough nylon, so it will repel spills, won’t break or tear, and has a nice smooth finish. So if you pee your pants watching the next Halo 3 trailer, you’re all set. The seams actually extend beyond the bag and are really tough so you won’t have to worry about it tearing either. Plus there’s a velcro part in one area in case you want to stuff it with pop rocks and coke.
You can use this chair in all kinds of positions. That didn’t sound right either. Anyway you can sit on it without a back, lay down on your side, lay down like a futon, or smoosh it down so it’s all curved around your back and gives you a nice headrest. Plus you can sit two people on it and make it a loveseat.

All in all I give this chair two thumbs up. It’s durable, comfortable, you can sleep on it or sit on it with a backrest, and it even looks cool which is saying a lot for a bean bag chair. They even sell entire “lounges” complete with a footrest in the center. So if you need a comfy gaming chair, be sure to check them out at sumolounge.com.
If you’re going to have 2 people on one of these, one of them should be a girl.

Mr Sprout over at the new Halo Wars fansite, Halo Wars Central, was able to get an interview with Dispraiser, the lead of Slipstream Productions that was working on the Halo-themed Halogen mod for Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour. Shortly before the announcement of Halo Wars for the Xbox 360 at the X06 event in Barcelona, Spain, Bungie contacted the Slipstream team with word that Microsoft’s legal department wanted the team to stop working on their mod as they considered it an infringement of Microsoft’s intellectual property, the Halo universe.
However, the team has not stopped working on the mod– it just isn’t Halo themed any more:
Well, it’d take the mystery out of it if I just said what our next project is, but a lot of our fans have found the secret message (rather crudely hidden) on our old homepage. I think if I just said what we were up to it’d take a lot of the fun out of making everybody find that message… But lemme just say, if you liked Halogen for more than just the Halo name, and you saw the work we put into our creations, and our faith to our motto (Semper Qualitas), then let me say that you won’t be dissapointed.
For those still unclear on what actually happened with the cancellation of Halogen, read the interview.
