Almost Double Digits

I love halo.bungie.org. Yes, apparently I enjoy rocking the cradle but really, can you blame me? That site is an absolute dream for anybody who has more than a passing interest in Halo. Numerous times each and every day I find myself at HBO in an attempt to quench my insatiable thirst for the latest and greatest news about my favorite seven foot tall Spartan.

The always amazing halo.bungie.org turned nine last Thursday so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to say thank you to Louis Wu who continues to dedicate a part of his every day to bring us all the Halo goodness we can handle. He doesn’t get paid for what he does, he doesn’t even have a single advertisement on his website. All he gets is a steady stream of rambling emails to read, a huge forum to diligently moderate, and the satisfaction of knowing he is the most all knowing Halo being to ever exist. If you adore Louis Wu and HBO as much as I do, be sure to congratulate him on his nine year milestone. Then immediately start running because if you think you are going to take my crown for being the biggest HBO fan, you are crazy.

Weekend of the Living Dead

Double EXP Weekend has returned, along with everybody’s favorite Living Dead playlist. Hop onto Halo 3 anytime between now and Monday the 26th at 2am PDT to participate in the all you can eat brain buffet. Bungie made a few small tweaks and also added two completely new gametypes to the mix so if you are someone that either has a thing for brains or just loves ridiculously boring gametypes where you hide in one spot for an ungodly amount of time, grab your shotgun and enjoy the temporary Zombie apocalypse.

Friday Caption Fun, Round 9

halo 3 screenshotThe weekend is almost here. Maybe you are getting ready to attend the Red vs. Blue CanWest community event or perhaps you are excited about simply relaxing over the long holiday weekend. Regardless of what your plans include, you still have to get through today. Let’s make the time pass just a little bit quicker by first recapping last week’s screenshot and then captioning another entertaining screenshot, shall we?

  • “Pwn to King’s Bishop-3. Check. I think.” (S@ndm@n)
  • “Young man how many times have I told you not to play in that sand box…the cats go potty in there!” (mendicantbias00)
  • “Ah! So that’s what the creator of Halo Action Theatre looks like!” (DragonKnight08 )
  • “Even as a little child bs angel loved Halo, see here a picture of her playing with her Spartan Barbie in her own Mjolnir suit of armor.” (soulofaqua)
  • “Godzilla-Spartan has gone on a rampage after finding out he can not haz recon.” (Celsius070)
  • “Shown here, the momma spartan carries her newborn by the more flexible gel layer behind the neck.” (Dan)
  • “An artist’s rendition of what it’s like when Bungie lifts mixed party restrictions, resulting in a team of Lieutenants facing a team of Brigadiers.” (petetheduck)
  • “When applying the newest gadgets in surveillance technology, we inadvertently witness the true cause of the fabled ‘super-bounce’.” (retinence)

Is That an AK-47 I Hear?

You don’t have to be a Call of Duty 4 fan to appreciate this video that takes various gun sounds and puts them to a beat. While this actually came out a few months ago, it is new to me so perhaps it will be new to you as well. Now if only someone would create something like this for Halo 3. Except instead of the shots of people firing their weapons, I want to see the bloody splatter of a headshot with the sniper sound effect, and the beautiful pink explosion of needles with the needler sound effect, and the sizzling blue glow on the teammate’s back directly in front of me with the plasma grenade effect. I can dream, right? Anyways, if you’ve already seen this video, enjoy it again! If you haven’t, prepare to be amazed geeky video game style.
