Grunt fireworks
Rockslider likes to blow things up. Big things, little things, doesn't matter. They just need to go boom. Latest article on Bad Cyborg is a how-to on lighting Grunts up spectacularly. Go read! (Louis Wu 19:51:44 UTC) (permalink)
A Young Man and his Halo
Co-Optimus' DjinniMan writes about Halo as a kid-friendly game, for the latest Co-Op Casual Friday column. Interesting piece! (For the record, my sons began playing Halo at ages 5 and 6, back in 2001.) (Louis Wu 19:22:19 UTC) (permalink)
After technical problems, MLG prepares for Columbus
Major League Gaming is hoping to give you uninterrupted streaming of MLG Columbus. Forbes blogger Paul Tassi sat down with Sundance DiGiovanni, co-founder of the professional gaming league, to talk about the increased popularity of MLG and the technical problems from Dallas. To prepare for the increased traffic, the league has teamed up with Streamworks, the company responsible for the royal wedding stream, to deliver a 720p stream directly from the website. MLG Columbus takes place June 3 through 5. (Hitmonchan 19:09:38 UTC) (permalink)

All's Well that Ends - OUCH! (Pics Galore)
Last weekend, a rather large LAN event was held at HBO HQ - 33 people participated. Some of them were Bungie employees. There haven't been any text writeups yet (I'm still planning on doing one), but a huge number of photographs were taken over the weekend, and we've put up a gallery page for some of these. Swing by and check out the festivities! Update: nof steps up to the plate and serves up the first actual writeup. Nice one, nof. (The Subaru story is a lie. I would never drive and watch a video above, say, 60mph.) (Louis Wu 17:52:47 UTC) (permalink)
Make it look real... by using real sources
It's not in Stephen Loftus' Signs of Halo collection, but this message, painted on the interior wall of a C130 Hercules and photographed by MasterPIE (closeup here), may look familiar to some players... (Louis Wu 17:44:42 UTC) (permalink)

Failtacular
Halo Reach Fails, Wins, and WTF Moments Episode 20 has been posted (thanks to NeoGAF's Pnut for pointing it out) - it's the season finale, so all of these clips have appeared elsewhere... but I've only caught a couple of episodes, so most were new to me. Definitely some funny stuff in there! (Louis Wu 14:42:48 UTC) (permalink)
