Overcoming the Glass Helmet
Black Six noticed a link at Bitmob - a pair of doctoral students at Ohio University's School of Communication Studies looked at gender-based interaction in Halo 3. (Not surprisingly for anyone who's played in a game with women, they found that women receive a far greater number of negative comments than men do.) Interesting read, overall - see if it changes the way you think about the other players in your matches! (Louis Wu 22:50:19 UTC) (permalink)

Sweet Helmet!
Last weekend, Cake Wrecks put up a gamer-themed series of cakes for their 'Sunday Sweets' series (non-wrecks, all) - there are some really spectacular cakes in there, including a very nice Spartan Helmet! Check 'em out. Thanks, GhaleonEB. (Louis Wu 14:26:25 UTC) (permalink)
FUD: your one-stop shop for E3 Reach Info
Dani has set up an E3 hub for Forward Unto Dawn - looks to be a decent place for keeping up on any Reach news that comes out of E3 next week. There's already a bit of content he's managed to glean from various sources (and an E3 Bingo card you can use to play along). Check it out! (Louis Wu 14:25:37 UTC) (permalink)
Looking back at the Beta
Gravemind continues his series of very in-depth looks at Bungie games, with an overview of the Reach Beta. Lots of details - grab a big mug o' coffee and take a look. (Louis Wu 14:24:55 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 - a big seller
Xbox Product Director Aaron Greenberg crowed on Twitter yesterday that Halo 3 outsold (in the US) Resistance 1 and 2, Uncharted 1 and 2, Killzone 2 and God of War III - combined. I'd seen it mentioned in passing on a random site, but passed on it because a quick count seemed to suggest it was wrong... but when ElusiveEagle519 pointed it out again, I did a little more digging - and it seems the claim DOES hold up - if you look at US sales. Nice! (Louis Wu 14:23:57 UTC) (permalink)
Guess it's pizza and Xbox LIVE for Marty
ElusiveEagle519 noticed a tweet from Marty O'Donnell yesterday afternoon: "Just about finished the music." Nice, Marty! (Louis Wu 14:23:20 UTC) (permalink)
