In this week’s Rage Quit, we have Michael take an uninformed stab at Ikaruga.

Brian Gilmore let us know that the Teabag Prevention team has now covered Pinnacle; if you find yourself getting domed from spots you can’t find, this guide might help you out! Give it a look.(Louis Wu 18:20:53 UTC)

Few new vids on Bungie.net’s Comm Chatter today:

• Geoff channels Rage Quit’s Michael on the latest Achievement HORSE – great maps, funny commentary. Even Gus showed up for #19.
• The Forgehub Testers Guild has been busy – check out their latest vid. Some very cool maps in there!
• no weakness posted another Black and Yellow parody (we highlighted one a few weeks ago). t-bagging, it’s an art.

That’s lunch!(Louis Wu 17:17:02 UTC)

Alright folks, tomorrow, at 12:30pm CST, Geoff and I will be battling head to head in Achievement HORSE live on the internet.

This is going to be an epic match up as we are currently tied at 7 games a piece. THIS WILL BE HUGE!

Feel free to tune in tomorrow! We’ll be broadcasting on YouTube right here, but I’ll make sure to post it on the main page tomorrow before we kick it off. Set your schedules folks!

Tashi continues his Weekly Montage Series – #4 has some fantastic clips. (Again, remember, all gameplay is his, and all gameplay was captured in the last 7 days. Some folks take months to build up enough decent clips for a montage.) I think I liked the clutch flag return on Countdown the best, but I had to wonder… where was the rest of his team?(Louis Wu 11:38:52 UTC)

I’ve seen Halo screenshots get used for a lot of things… but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one used to create a tribute to a fallen comrade. Thanks, Hedge. That was beautiful.(Louis Wu 11:20:56 UTC)

MaxRealflugel proves that the Scorpion Tank program was run by the New Jersey Waste Management division of the UNSC – go read!(Louis Wu 11:09:41 UTC)

An unrelated discussion on the Waypoint forums sent me digging for some information. What I found along the way was a very cool writeup from about a year ago on the GoingRampant Blog. The article focused on the role of female characters in the Halo series. It was a pretty cool look at some different aspects of the fiction, and even had a comment from Tobias Buckell that confirmed a very neat connection between Halo 3: ODST and Dirt from Halo: Evolutions. It’s split into three parts, which you can find here: one, two, and three. It was certainly the first time I’d seen it. Go check it out!(GrimBrother One 08:17:22 UTC)

So, remember that awesome bookmark that Leviathan made for Bry a bit back? Well Our veritable flyboy whipped up a VERY cool timelapse of Levi’s stellar work through each various stage. Check it out!(GrimBrother One 07:06:00 UTC)
