Rotund Bovine Fresian?
Looks like Bungie is still smarting from the whupping they took from EGM during the Halo Humpday Challenge this week; there's a rematch (2v2, Shishka and Frankie vs Mark and Shoe from EGM), coming up as soon as it can get scheduled. (There's some trash-talk about it in this thread on the Bungie.net forum.) We'll bring you the results as soon as we hear about 'em! Thanks to psyho case, from Clan EGM, for the heads-up. (I gotta say, I have no idea what a 'Fresian' is... but Frankie called Shoe that in an email exchange. Must be a Scot thing.) Update: Thanks to Jamie Cockrill, who pointed out that Frankie probably just misspelled 'Friesian', a breed of cow. (You gotta wonder, though, what Frankie's doing knowing about cow breeds...)

Online Tourneys - starting in 2 days
The online XBC-based neXtournaments we mentioned a couple of days ago are getting underway in two days - the first tourney is Sunday evening at 7 pm Eastern, sponsored by Corsair, and has a pair of 1GB memory modules (and an XBC Pro serial number) for the winner. There will also be hats and miscellaneous accessories from Corsair available. These tourneys will be happening on a regular basis, so check back often! (Entrance is free.)

Prima Donna is an understatement.
Fire Team Charlie has released FTC 17, in hi-res AVI format, for members; it will be up in lower-res format for the masses by tomorrow night. (A hi-res QuickTime should be available later today or tomorrow morning for members.) It weighs in at a bit over 12 minutes, and is something of a departure from the norm for the crew. Pretty dang hilarious, if you ask me; these guys get better and better with every episode. Comments can be left in Z's thread on our forum. (Louis Wu 18:01:33 UTC) (permalink)
Lost In Translation.
Hey! It's a comic morning. One One Se7en returns to the Covenant alphabet developed for the Halo2.com website... and runs into a problem we've probably ALL had at one time or another. (Louis Wu 10:49:41 UTC) (permalink)
Fully Destructible Environments
New strip over at Halo Babies - takes a practical look at a gameplay question, and comes up with the right answer. Nice artwork! (Louis Wu 10:32:08 UTC) (permalink)
Of pretty ladies, and missing teeth
The Bungie version of the Halo Humpday Challenge between Bungie and EGM was posted yesterday evening - Frankie writes like a broken man. It's almost sad to see... (Louis Wu 10:29:38 UTC) (permalink)
