Bungie has finally dropped a trailer for their latest reveal – an expansion (presumably) for Halo 3 set during events between Halo 2 and Halo 3. Our new hero is an ODST, alone in Covenant-occupied New Mombasa.
Two things about this trailer video really fascinate me, both with regard to the city-governing AI, the Superintendent. The first is the [...]

Halo 3: Recon
Comparison Video
Wow. This video makes the graphics of Halo 2 and Halo 3 look only comparable, when in fact Halo 3 has the much better graphics. I suspect poor video resolution is to blame here.
Machine Enema
Mike Rouse – a.k.a. sodaGod – is the man. He is el capitan of Machine Enema, a Halo-based machinima group. Of all the machinima producers out there right now, Machine Enema produces the best quality movies. Mike has written a number of really solid stories and then translates those into video that, quite simply, sparkles like none other. He [...]
All Lies
My Xbox 360 is a liar – I spent a couple of hours yesterday playing Halo 2 on Live. Apparently all it cares about is 360 games.
Secret Brotherhood
I tend to share my Halo musings around – and since I’m especially loyal to my clan, you can find my latest bit of musings over on XerxdeeJ’s blog (along with Deej’s commentary), if you’re interested. Yeah, that TTL Demag0gue guy – that’s me.
Gaming On a Whole New Level
The Xbox 360 is just simply amazing. Last night was the first time I’ve ever really had the chance to sit down and explore my way through the new dashboard and see all the available features. I was awed. It’s sleek, trim, and sharp and miles better than what the original Xbox can do.
First order of [...]
Good Things
The end of my day can’t get here soon enough to suit me. I’m about fit to split. Energy. Excitement. Enthusiasm. All those and more. Two reasons why I’m eager to leave the office today:
My piano gets tuned tonight – finally. I can’t wait to hear how much better it sounds once all the strings actually resonate with [...]
Tombstone and Desolation
The fans speak, and Bungie delivers. Word came down today that on April 17, two new Halo 2 multiplayer maps go live for download. Initially, talk was that Microsoft was going to release these new maps as Xbox 360 exclusives, an announcement that fans responded to with a great deal of animosity. Bungie quickly stepped [...]
“Master Chief, Give Me Some Room”
It pains me to do it, but I’m putting Halo 2 up on a shelf for a while. My gameplay the last several weeks has been nothing short of frustrating, and I’m afraid that I’m just not having fun with it right now. I don’t really know what happened, why my head isn’t in the [...]
Matchmaking, New Halo 2 Maps, and You
This just seems remarkably unfair:
FyreWulff pointed out a thread on Bungie.net discussing the new Halo 2 maps coming out soon – Jeremiah mentioned that these maps would likely be incorporated in a significant number of playlists – and (at least at this point in the developments) those playlists would no longer be available to people playing on the original Xbox.
This [...]
