Grifball DoubleXP Weekend Has Begun
The latest Double Experience Weekend is now live - you can play Grifball to your heart's content, at least until early Monday morning. The Official Grifball website (affiliated with Rooster Teeth, not Bungie) has two fun programs going this weekend - Adopt-a-Noob and the XP Competition. If you introduce someone to the Grifball community, or if you legitimately earn more XP than anyone else in the playlist, there might be goodies for you. (Read about 'em on the Grifball website.)

Why do games have to kick each other's butts?
GameDaily has an article entitled 'Why Gears of War 2 Kicks Halo 3's Butt' - but anyone who calls Marty's Halo music 'wimpy piano nonsense' can't really be taken seriously. Go read the other 7 reasons; they're equally silly. (Marcus Fenix is deeper than Master Chief? C'mon...) (Louis Wu 15:55:27 UTC) (permalink)
Snipedown profiled by hometown paper
The Zionsville (Indiana) Times Sentinel has a piece on Eric 'Snipedown' Wrona, a member of Str8 Rippin (currently the top-seeded team on MLGPro.com). Been a little while since we've seen one of these "local boy makes good" stories about a Halo pro... (interestingly enough, Snipedown was in the Zionsville news a couple of months ago, as well - for having his Xbox account stolen.) (Louis Wu 15:49:45 UTC) (permalink)
ZOMBIES HALOween Charity Tournament
News from kilaMOMjaro, of the PraetoriaGuard and Gaming4Others - they're running a HALOween Zombies Charity Tournament to benefit the Epilepsy Foundation. A promo pic with all the details can be found on the PG forum, and registration ($5) is now open at the G4O website (click through the pic). First prize is a copy of Left4Dead, a limited edition Halo 3 t-shirt signed by Bungie and RvB people (I'm on there too, somewhere - silly MOM), and a pillow case filled with candy. There are prizes for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places, too. Lots of fun, a great cause... how can you lose? (She also reminded us that the next Frag a Friend community leader get-together is happening tomorrow night at 9 eastern.) (Louis Wu 13:49:31 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Roll'd
Pyroman put together a Halo Roll'd video (in the style of the Barak Roll'd vid that came out a couple months ago) - it's probably the only time you'll be happy you've been Roll'd. (Louis Wu 13:35:19 UTC) (permalink)
Any last requests?
ZZoMBiE13 continues his look at the RvB: Reconstruction crew - his latest picture shows a scene in which Grif is about to be executed. Nice work! (Louis Wu 13:23:16 UTC) (permalink)
