Forbes Talks About the Halo Competitive Scene
Forbes contributor Paul Tassi takes a look at why Halo 4 was dropped from the MLG Circuit and the state of competitive Halo. Tassi doesn’t think Halo 4 is a bad game, but with the added mechanics he doesn’t see Halo 4 as a viable eSport anymore. Interesting read! Thanks, CyReN. (mastrbiggy 07:19:30 UTC)

Timmy Needs A New Disc
The Bungie webmaster (never positively identified but vaguely described as a gorilla in a cowboy hat) seems to have been supplanted by Deej doing an impression of Alaistair Cooke. This would appear to be the first in a weekly series leading up to what we hope will be the Destiny reveal at GDC in March 2013. Like the Webmaster and the Mailbag, Deej is here dealing directly with missives from Bungiefen. Although this fan seems a bit confused about who made Halo 4…
