Dust off your favorite long range weapon because it’s time for Halo 3’s Double EXP Weekend. Until Monday you will have the opportunity to play Team Snipers while simultaneously scoring a hefty dose of experience. I may be an expert at handling the long barrel but I certainly can’t snipe worth shit so you may see me in this playlist simply trying to get some practice. Then again I don’t enjoy dying repeatedly without being able to take a single step so I may try to find something to do this weekend that I actually like. If you hop into this cursory sharpshooter heaven, enjoy your headshots. Just not on me.
I woke up this morning, made the startling realization that today was Friday, and breathed a gigantic sigh of relief. I’ve had a busy week so my electrifying plans for weekend include climbing into bed and not coming out until Monday morning. Before I bury myself in a sea of blankets, let’s revisit last week’s rather humorous captions.
“That fateful weekend it wasn’t the EXP that Bungie mistakenly doubled.” (petetheduck)
“You should see what he’s packing UNDER his armor.” (-S-)
“Caboose from RVB didn’t realize the tank was cheating on him until he saw her first kid.” (Michael Dardis)
“You know what? I’m sick of this ‘the H3 battle rifle isn’t strong enoughhh’ whining - I hope you enjoy the new PERMANENT game update, you MLG jerks” - Frankie (-S-)
“You should see the sniper rife…” (NsU Soldier)
“Bungie’s last-ditch effort to overtake CoD4 on the XBL charts.” (R2-JL)
If you like bling as much as I do, you will adore these wonderfully embellished Pac-Man grenades that are available for a mere $350. I would consider them a definite must have for any hardcore Pac-Man fan. Or anybody who likes horrendously gaudy things. Which may or may not be me.
I’m a bit of an Etch-A-Sketchist fangirl. And by bit I mean I worship the aluminum powder that he meticulously etches his amazingly detailed pictures on. After I compiled all of his video game related sketches in one convenient post, I sent him an email with a picture attached in hopes that he would recreate it in his own unique Etch-A-Sketch style. Just when I thought I couldn’t be any more of a fangirl, I get this incredible picture kindly deposited in my inbox. Turns out I could be more of a fangirl, who knew?

I love pick-up lines, not as a thinly guised technique for scoring with the opposite sex but more as a humorous form of entertainment to help pass the time. Pick-up lines can be sweet, suggestive, hilarious, and sometimes even offensive but they are sure to get a reaction, whether it is a laugh, a groan, or something in between.
Any time I sit down to write pick-up lines, I always find myself back at Halo. From pick-up lines to romantic proposals to break-up lines, I just can’t stay away from that theme. Thankfully our favorite Spartan who so generously wages war in defense of humanity gives us a neverending supply of material. Thus I offer you ten more Halo pick-up lines, just in case you used the first batch already and now are in need of some new ones.
A very sweet and dear friend of mine recently got me the coolest Grunt action figure. Due to a signature adorning the front of the package, this solitary Grunt is destined to live a confined and lonely life with his weapons being his only companions. I’m just hoping he won’t become bitter and spiteful like Stinky Pete the Prospector did. While I’m not able to play with that particular Grunt, this cute plush Grunt is ready and waiting for some serious playtime action.
Made out of two tone denim and polyester and stuffed to the brim with fluff, this is the cutest and softest Grunt you will ever encounter. His hands come minus the plasma grenades with a magnet hidden in one of his arms instead, allowing him to pull off some completely bad ass moves on your refrigerator. Unfortunately the price is a bit steep for my tastes but if you have more disposable income than I do, perhaps this is the tiny Covenant creature for you. The only improvement this Halo plush figure needs is next time it should be stuffed with confetti. Headshot!
While I am not a negative person, I do consider myself a realist so I readily admit there are certain things I will never be able to accomplish in my lifetime. Passing Through the Fire and Flames on Guitar Hero III is one of those things. I could practice that nasty intro one thousand times a day for five million years straight and I still would never see anything higher than a four percent completion rate. It’s just the way it is. After watching this video, I am thankful that Mario Paint is not a playable game the same way Guitar Hero is because I clearly wouldn’t be able to pass it on this cute little musical game either.
There is nothing I love more than a nice, long marathon session of friendly fragging. I turn on my television, crank up the surround sound, and settle back into the depths of my couch in preparation for the lengthy battle ahead. I game the same way I nap. Long, hard, and hopefully uninterrupted. I will take emergency bathroom breaks when necessary, otherwise I need to be dying of hunger or thirst in order to get up. If you are anything like me, this handy little mini cooler would be the perfect addition to your gaming room.

Mini coolers are awesome, but mini coolers plastered with pictures of your favorite video game are even more awesome. This small Halo-themed box of refrigerated goodness is ready to keep your favorite caffeinated beverage frosty cold and at arm’s length so you can happily frag your friends until the wee hours of the morning. You can even slide a few sandwiches in there so you don’t have to get up when you feel those annoying pangs of hunger. If only this Master Chief mini cooler had a urinal attached. Then it would be the best gaming accessory ever.
