Farewell To a Legend
KontrolFreek, the guys who make those little adaptors that sit on top of your Xbox controller's analog sticks and give you tighter control, have a new contest going. The FPS Freek Legendarys, a variant of their product designed specifically for Halo, is being retired - when this last batch is gone, they're gone. And to say goodbye in style, they've put together a heck of a prize package - A Reach Xbox 360, a Weta Halo statue, and a pair of Legendarys signed by Steve Downes. All you need to do is enter your email! This contest officially kicks off on Saturday - but because you're reading this on HBO, you get to sign up early. Check it out, sign up... and maybe grab a pair just in case you don't win! (I wrote a mini-review of these puppies last year, and the KontrolFreek guys answered a bunch of questions for us soon after that. I'm not getting paid for this - I can recommend these because I use 'em, and love 'em.) (Louis Wu 22:03:42 UTC)

In Which Fronk Comes Upon a Lovely Lady
In a recent unconducted survey, it was found that 87% of HBO members don't wear pants when reading Hedgemony's comics.

It's strange. It's questionable. It's beautiful. Go and check it out! (GrimBrother One 20:10:04 UTC)

Hedge's Pics Always Get My Pulse Racing
Today's HBO update comes to you live from the media center at Daytona International Speedway, where your race-weathered Grim has ducked into to keep race fans informed of of various speedy-goings on, and Halo fans informed of our favorite franchise. We're now into the 19th hour into the Rolex 24 Hours, and normally, it's hard for me to feel like much compares to the raw and elegant beauty of a proper race car at speed. However, our beloved Hedgemony certainly makes a strong push for top spot on the podium with his latest round of gorgeous screenshots and panos from the most recent Community Customs night. They have awakened my tired and sleepy eyes, and I think they'll do the same for you... check it out! (GrimBrother One 16:07:03 UTC)
