Fun With The Vision Cam

If anyone wants to sport the 2130 as their gamerpic here's a version with the contrast boosted for a better read. I'm looking forward to masking my face for Rainbow Six Vegas.

New tactics for Halo Play

I think we can learn some new tricks by examining the hunting techniques of our fellow hunters.

I'm all for the decoy method.

Halo Wars Trailer

I'm not much of a strategy guy, but it'll be cool to see how they expand the Halo universe with this game. Makes me wonder though, with the announcement of this game and the one Peter Jackson is creating, will Halo 3 give us a true ending? Will we really Finish the Fight?

Also, Bungie released their first official podcast last Friday. Listen here (right-click to download) if you haven't already.

Free Look!

Free was busy at the UCSB campus the other night as you will see in this video. But he still made time to film and edit that most excellent reverso video on the last post.

Halo 2130

Thanks to all for induldging me here. I could use some help with a Monty Python machinima if you want to do it again. Anyone know how to drop all weapons?

French Todds' Not Spotted So Far

Greetings 2130 clan. I should have brought my 360 to Annecy, France with me. I can't sleep so well so I am awake when you're on anyway.

I have looked into the present, past and future and I am happy to report that I have not encountered les Todds (Gronke au Mondefraiche) punching it out. I have trolled the Geneva suburbs as well - so far I haven't seen jacque squat!

One thing that I am convinced of, however, is that geeks are basically all alike. Here's a scene I spied on the tele. The 360 was shown as well.

It's Time Again for...Time Machine 2130!

My latest travels into the future revealed another disturbing glimpse at what's to come. Here we see both Tenlin and Free playing some futuristic virtual reality game. I wasn't able to get many details, but apparently we'll soon have video game controllers implanted into our bodies. This next-gen setup will allow players to "see" and "play" anywhere, at any time. Tenlin seems to have really mastered this new control scheme. I got pwned.

Gettin' Weird on a Lazy Saturday

Pure Energy

Some Halo gamers have their cake and eat it TOO.

This video is of David Walsh.

He is on the MLG (major league gamers) team Final Boss that signed the 1 million dollar deal. I guess he is a guy we don't want to meet up with on Live. Can you imagine playing against him and his team? I actually could picture the carnage.

Spreading the Love

As is good from time to time, you have to do some spring cleaning and get a little variety in your gameplay fun. So, as a first shot (before I have to actually meet in-person some craigslist freak), I'm putting the following games up for buy/trade. All I ask is $20/game, or a good trade if you'd like to swap.

Feel free to edit and add to this post your games as well.

Shark's Used Games ($20/per, I'll take care of shipping):

• Kameo
• GRAW
• Fight Night 3
• NHL 2k6

Also, for Ryno (or anyone else), I've got a bunch o' Xbox games that I'll part with for $10/per. Drop me an email if you've got questions.

Time Machine 2130 pt. 2

What will the year 2130 bring? Unfortunately, from the looks of this trip in the old time machine, it'll bring brotherly squabble. Here we catch a glimpse of Gronk and Mondo's future. Mondo has just refused to let Gronk have the sniper rifle during a game of Halo 14 (they can play during the day now that they're retired, and neighbors).

New Feature: Time Machine 2130

Let's hop in the old time machine and see what some of the 2130 clanners will be doing in the year 2130. Our first installment features Tenlin. After finally getting tired of Zuma in the year 2129, Tenlin decides to try her hand at Stubbs The Zombie.
