ATF: Ur Doin it Wrong AGAIN!
AnTi PROx sent word that Arm The Flag is running a new contest – create a demotivational poster-style Halo 3 screenshot (Halo 3 or Halo 3: ODST), and you could win a 1600 point card. There are some rules – swing by their forum for full details. (Louis Wu 18:48:46 UTC)

Ecko shirts – still at Hot Topic
Last summer, we mentioned some Halo t-shirts from Marc Ecko – they’re all gone from the ShopEcko.com website, but according to xoools, who works at Hot Topic, a couple of them (Halo Babes and UNSC Sniper) are still available in those stores. Probably not a universal taste kind of thing…(Louis Wu 18:43:32 UTC)

Tuesday Afternoon Vids
A foursome of new vids for you, courtesy of Bungie’s Comm Chatter:- LaCoz3 released The Fresh Feeling 2 – video quality could use some work, but there are some slick sticks in there.
- Mirific has created his last Halo 3 montage – editing is a tad overdone, mb.
- Another LaCoz3 montage – this one is called ‘Shine’, and features 100% MLG action. Same quality issues as the first LaCoz3 vid.
- Unidentified Failing Object 3 is a Halo 3 Funtage from Billdebeast – mostly it’s clips of him doing good stuff, and his friends doing bad stuff. (I think Scapegoat413 should stay out of hogs on Avalanche…)(Louis Wu 17:59:58 UTC)

Wait… what?
So according to IGN, there’s a new service out there – GameCrush says they’ll hook you up with a girl gamer to play with online… for a fee. Four 360 games are included in the list of playables… and Halo 3 is one of those four. $8.25 buys you 6-10 minutes of 1v1 time. GameCrush apparently modeled its pricing structure on the cost of buying a girl a drink at a bar… I’m pretty curious to know if this model has any hope at all of surviving.(Louis Wu 12:01:17 UTC)

I need a… keyboard?
mattroe bought a Microsoft mouse and keyboard… and was amused by the use of Halo imagery on the PC products. I guess when you own an intellectual property, you might as well get it out there…(Louis Wu 11:28:20 UTC)

AH: Not Interested by Microsoft's Game Room?
Well, it has achievements. Interested now?
Microsoft are using Gamerscore as the cherry on top to tempt more gamers into purchasing games in the Game Room. Visiting an arcade in the past would result in empty pockets and possibly someone’s drink spilt over you, now however, the latter will be replaced with Gamerscore added to your Gamertag.
Will the inclusion of achievements make you think twice about Game Room?
Like traditional full retail games, the Games Room will allow players to gain a full 1000G spread across 56 achievements for doing various tasks like spending time playing games, earning medals, decorating your Game Room with themes and mascots, and also visiting your friends’ Game Rooms. Although no detail has been given as to how visiting a friend’s room would work, as it has noted you won’t be able to roam free in any other Game Room but your own.
