ASE Ep. 86 Beware Abandoned Rental Trucks M2 lvl 24
The long dormant S’pht AI tells us that what needs to be done is clear. In a pig’s eye! Unless what he means is shoot stuff and push buttons, because we would have done that without being told. Add to that some truly epic tele-bogarting of the shield recharge by Narcogen and some revenge from Blackstar and you have the latest episode of Let’s Play Marathon 2, level 24.

Podtacular 403: Year’s End
It’s our final podcast of the year and we’ve been quite a few places and so has Halo. Between all the title updates to Halo 4, the release of Halo: Spartan Assault, the Halo 4 Global Championships and all the conventions we attended, it has been one hell of a year. To end things for the year, this week’s bulletin is a Q&A with Frankie. There are some pretty interesting questions in the list that we talk about to wrap up the end of the year. On a final note, thank you everyone who has stayed with us throughout the year and supported us through the tough times with Halo this year. We value each and every one of you and we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you tuning in every week. Happy Holidays everyone!

Fails of the Weak 170
Fails of the Weak 170 is a combination of frustrating and great – there are some awesome clips in there (stuff not seen before), but the Rob Zombie discussion that sits over the top of most of it makes it hard to appreciate. Ah, well. Watch on AH.com or YouTube, your choice. Thanks, Nikko B201. (Louis Wu 14:57:20 UTC)
