Happy HALOween!

Enjoy the new Halo 3 trailer and make sure and have your sound turned up.

Game Invite Sent

A strange and sad thing happened last night. Timo, Armleg, Rossco and myself were playing Chrome Hounds when Sharkie sent a game invite for Halo 2. In the past, this would have meant an automatic game switch and the 2130 regrouping in the familiar world of Halo. Last night, however, it didn't happen. Don't get me wrong, we would have loved to play with Sharkie but the action was happening in Chrome Hounds and we didn't want to let it go. With Chrome Hounds occupying our attention now, and Gears of War and Rainbow 6 Vegas on the horizon, could this be the end of Halo 2? My guess is no. H2 play time will decrease significantly but I'm willing to bet we'll still fire it up every now and then until H3, and the much anticipated Man Cannon, finally arrives.

On a similar note, I receieved the demo disc for Rainbow 6 Vegas on Friday. It came with the latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine. I have to say the game is really good. It takes the best of RB6, Slpinter Cell and Ghost Recon and blends them into a well-crafted and visually stunning game. The controls are easy to pick up and the flow of the game is excellent. Like GRAW and GOW, using cover is the key to survival. But unlike GRAW, going in an out of cover flows smoothly, making for a better paced game. The team controls are much improved and your teammates actually help instead of dying all the time like GRAW.

Turns out we'll have to wait until November 20 (21st actually) for Vegas to be released. That means there will be plenty of time to play Gears of War, and maybe some Halo 2 thrown in for good measure.

Gears of War Rules!

Ha! We didn't go. 12am - 3am on a Wednesday was too tough for a bunch of working stiffs like us. Soon enough we'll be chainsawing each other over Live.

Happy Belated Birthday Timo!

Timo's birthday was back in September, but that doesn't mean he gets off without a blog post. Thanks for being such a great friend Tim. This video is in honor of your new passion.

RB6 or GOW?

As much as I still enjoy playing Halo 2, I'm ready for a legit multiplayer game on the 360. A few of us have really been digging Chrome Hounds, but our best bet is probably going to come in November. Rainbow 6 Vegas (Nov. 7th) or Gears of War (Nov. 12th)? Which game do you think will be better for the clan?

WOW on South Park

I've never played World of Warcraft before, but I still really enjoyed South Park's parody of the game. Have a look if you haven't seen it yet.

Nothing looks and feels so fine as that Halo shine.

Free was shopping the other day when he came across Halo Shampoo and broke into SONG. Halo with the built in shine.

Friday Night Fights

H2 or GRAW tonight?

Anyone?

Hello?

Is this thing on?
