Oboe Scores #12: Mongoose Splaser
OboeCrazy has a new Oboe Scores up - this one is short and sweet. What can you do from the back of a Mongoose? Some real damage, it seems! (Louis Wu 19:05:36 UTC) (permalink)
A Trip to MLG and Back
gunn3r11 sent word of a new article at The Spartan Force - one of their members headed out to MLG Anaheim last weekend, and wrote up his FFA experience. Fun read! (Mocha did pretty well!) (Louis Wu 18:51:20 UTC) (permalink)

I play.
Heh. Aisha Tyler (gamer, actress, Halo fanatic) wrote a paean to gaming - she takes shots at gamers who don't give her credit, but mostly it's an ode to her love for the game. (ANY game.) Thanks, Gui_PT. (Louis Wu 14:26:00 UTC) (permalink)
Feminist Frequency host talks about video games
Gamespot has interviewed Anita Sarkeesian about feminism, her recent visit to Bungie, and her new Kickstarter project (currently funded at 1500% of its goal, with less than 3 days to go) - if you're interested in how female characters are portrayed in video games (and how this affects players and non-players alike), give this a read! Thanks, mastrbiggy.

Don't yell at me, Josh!
Jimmy Fallon got to be the first person outside 343 Industries to actually play Halo 4's campaign - you can watch the clip in UnrealCh13f's forum post. (Jimmy - step up your game, dude.) For folks worried about the scripting that became obvious with Jimmy's... less-than-pro-quality gameplay, have no fear - Josh Holmes stopped by to explain why this demo had scripting in it, and how the game will NOT have this scripting. Funny video, great info! Go see.

Those RvB guys are giant.
BebopVox interviewed Frankie at E3 - the interview itself is a little awkward, but Frank's information is worth hearing. Thanks, CyReN (geez, slow down, dude). (Louis Wu 13:59:14 UTC) (permalink)

A new contender emerges
Th3AverageKid is looking to start a new series called Buttery Halo Clips - watch the promo vid to see an example of what he's trying to do. (Even if you don't have anything to offer, this is a pretty insane Living Dead clip on Powerhouse.) He's also posted a discussion with UKD, focusing on how to prep for Halo 4. Are you ready?
