Emperor Finds Out About Death Star

Sorry for missing Halo Tuesday last night but I was out sick all day. I didn't game while resting at home, but I did watch Star Wars Ep. III which makes this video all the more timely. Thanks to The Piton.

Happy 1st Birthday 2130 Clan Blog

Well, our little venue of distraction is now one year old. Maybe we should all chip in and buy Sharkie a present for getting the whole thing started. Actually, Microsoft is celebrating by releasing a major update for the 360 dashboard.

Thanks to you all for the good times. Cheers!

Call Me a Bitch but Leave My Mom Out of It

Bungie made no reference to this in their recent Waaaahbulance article, but I've learned (don't ask how) that they're currently in secret negotiations with Mr. T about an anti-cheating campaign. The plan is for him to do a series of public service announcements warning players about the various ways they can get banned from Halo 2 matchmaking. Bungie hopes that Mr. T's daunting presence will scare the cheating bastards straight. The the first installment (of which I've obtained a copy) deals with something we're all subjected to on a nightly basis: talking smack about a fellow player's mother. We can only hope that Bungie and Mr. T don't, at some point, decide to take pity on the fools.

Major Nelson's site posted that Burnout and The Outfit are going down to $40.

Burnout is worth the cash, and would be great fun for the clan online.

Banned Players Make Pleas to Bungie

You've all probably seen this by now, but just in case: The Bungie Waaahmbulance. Can't say I feel sorry for the little mutts. From the looks of the grammar in most of the emails, they should have been doing their homework anyway.

Birthday anyone?

When a fellow clan-member has everything they could ever want, then you get them this for their birthday.

Or, maybe, you need to send a message to them.

The video is classic.

Bollywood's New Sweetheart: GRONK!

Fresh off his #1 smash hit "Armleg Teabag Me" Bollywood's hottest director has struck again. In this latest offering "Yo Ho a 2130 Life For Me" Gronk demonstrates the devotion he has for his Xbox clan by stepping out from behind the camera and starring in his own creation.

Mondo and Arm Reconcile

I was happy to find this great Bombay featurette. It made me feel very warm and optimistic about the troubled cinematic relationship between Mondo and Armleg. Enjoy.

Arm Gives His Opponents Nightmares

He's gotten so good at Halo, all the noobs are taking out an ad for therapy sessions. As seen on joystiq.com:

Time To Change The Subject















Rockstar Presents Table Tennis is due to come out this Monday, May 22. Who's down for some wong action? Hopefully, they'll incorporate a tournament mode over Live so we can have a clan throwdown. My other hope is that the controls aren't going to be super complicated.

Mondo Gets Caught Being Curious(Fapping) Again

I found THIS video of Mondo doing what he does when he is not posting on the blog.

Preemptive strike

Armleg also games with a clan called "Pepe Deluxe".

He's edgy like a razor!

Nice Headband Armleg!

I didn't know he was that damned talented...

T'as le look, coco - Mondo

When I met Mondo face to face I was struck by an uncanny feeling I'd seen the man before. When I learned he was the most famous of all 80's acts out of France it all hit me. He was just celebrated by the Run In Place Per Eighties Righteousness Association of the Universe or RIPPER. Here is a clip from one of his most memorable Performances. I'm honored to have met you and call you a friend. Looking forward to your next big show.

Introducing Call of Duty 3

Oh my goodness. Here is a Call of Duty 3 trailer that looks amazing. The hand to hand struggle with the German Soldier looks like it will be in the game and a very cool feature.
I'm excited to hear about this and more next week during E3.

Gronk And His New Band



Coming soon to a meadow near you.

Free In His Show Days

Gronk Skateboarding Video

Thought you all might
enjoy this video of Gronk
skateboarding at lunch
yesterday.

Words cannot describe
just how hardcore he is.
All of the groms stopped
dead in their tracks and
watched, slack-jawed.

99 Bottles of Island Brew on the wall...

Cheers. You can now open your bottles at the Island Brewing Company with pazzazz. I knew the Master Chief Visor had several uses, but this never shows up on my HUD.
You can get these at the Bungie site.

You Know You Are Playing TOO Much Halo When...

I saw a hilarious list of You know you are playing too much Halo when...and started to think the 2130 should think of a few and share. Here is a few to get started.

- When you run over to your neighbors lawn and take a deuce on the grass and yell "Bomb Armed Bomb Planted."
- You forgot your name and only go by your Gamertag now.
- When you see your grandmother sleeping and find yourself teabagging her while yelling "You like that don't ya."
- When you try and 'stick' your dog with the tennis ball.
- You'd rather level up than shower.
- When you call your minivan the Spectre.
- When you try to flip over your minivan.
- You see a Jeep with the top down on the road and you think to yourself, "Man I wish I had rockets."
