The good folks over at College Humor have a lot of time on their hands now that Street Fighter: The Early Years has wrapped. What to do, what to do. How about playing homicide detective for Halo 3 kills? Sounds like a plan to me!
Here’s the first episode, which references the cool ass cone kill we posted a while ago. Check it out and go play dress up like these guys in your back yard. Go ahead, we won’t watch.
The voice of Bungie, Frank O’Conner, is no more. Frankie is heading to Microsoft to continue working on the Halo franchise.
Can’t say I really blame him, here. Microsoft is going to want to keep Halo as close to the vest as possible and Frankie has been with the series from the beginning. I wonder if this is a trend we’re going to continue to see occur with more Bungie employees heading over to their former boss?
Still no word on what the next Halo game will be, who will be heading up development, and what we can expect. I’m hoping for either a very early prequel with the ODST Hell Jumpers as the main playable characters before the Spartan II program, or maybe later on in the battles when the Spartan III’s got into the mix. Yes people, there are more Spartans. Read the books.
It is natural for a young man in his early teens to start noticing the fairer sex. Some kids start getting hard-ons in class for no reason and others have their voice crack and the most inopportune time. Others go on a 30k spending spree with their buddies that culminates in Team Slayer matches with some hookers.
A 13 yr old Texas boy, Ralph Hardy, swiped his dad’s credit card and took him and his buddies on a wild frenzy where they ended up getting a hotel room, room service, and eventually some female escorts. They brought their Xbox along and played Halo with their female friends. The hotel got a little suspicious after they kept ordering room services staples like Fritos, Oreos, and Dr. Pepper. When asked how they got the money by the hotel and the hookers they said:
They explained they had just made a big score at a “World of Warcraft” tournament and wanted to get some relaxation. On noting the boys age the delivery clerk informed the authorities.
Asked why he ordered two escorts, Ralph said he thought it was the thing to do when you win a “World of Warcraft” tournament. They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not allow those with disabilities to be discriminated against they had no right to refuse them.
I would have at least made them play strip Slayer or something.
Thanks to EHT for sending this in!
::EDIT:: Unfortunately this story has been debunked and proven to be a hoax. Too bad I think a kid with this guys skills can go places.
So everyone thought that GTA IV would do well, but Guinness was keeping their eye on this one for some time now. Looks like Rockstar with GTA IV has spanked the previous record for the highest grossing video game in it’s first 24 hours on the market. This title previously was held by the MS juggernaut that is Halo 3, it also beat out Spider Man 3 and Harry Potter. GTA has already solidified it’s place in the record books and in gamer’s hearts already. Bravo to Rockstar.
Here is the official word:
The famed Grand Theft Auto series has made headlines yet again! As newly-released sales figures show, Grand Theft Auto IV has crushed the competition by selling 3.6 million units and earning $310 million in its first day of release, earning Guinness World Records™ for the Highest Grossing Video Game in 24 Hours and the Highest Revenue Generated by an Entertainment Product in 24 Hours. These records establish GTA IV as the most profitable entertainment release of all-time, far surpassing other video game, film and book releases. According to Guinness World Records™, this is how the game stacks up against the competition:
Fastest-selling video game in 24 hours: Halo 3 at $170 million
Fastest-selling theatrical movie in 24 hours: Spider-Man 3 at $60 million
Fastest-selling book in 24 hours: Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows at $220 million
We had brought you a couple of other fusion videos of Super Mario fused with Mega Man and Halo, but here he is with the the cast of Doom. These mods are fantastic and would actually make for very fun games. Also Hammer Bros. suit FTW easily, I don’t recall that suit from the games.
Many gamers often write about first person shooter titles making them ill and even having to take Dramamine because of the camera perspective and fast movements, but GTA IV? That’s right if you haven’t picked up the game yet or played the portion where you go to the bar and get drunk you may want to think twice about it. Drinking in GTA IV has a severe affect on your character in the game, the camera gets heavily affected and the graphics become blurred. Your character will have a very difficult time walking down the street without stumbling and losing health, let alone driving.

Many have wondered what a society based on Halo and the teachings of Master Chief may be like, well here you have a glimpse of the world’s future. Here is the world as it would stand for the next 40 years if Halo were to take over the world.
I like how Pong is our savior and how circle strafe hopping does not work as a good defense in real life. Also how teabagging corpses led to all time high shootouts.
I have seen some fairly elaborate sticks and rocket jumps and suicides, but this one takes the cake. This guy set up a sticky grenade death of epic proportions and then incorporated in a Mongoose to boot. Impressive to say the least. Check this video out.

I just cant get enough of these videos. These Mario games that this guy have made are full of detail and awesome to just look at and enjoy. The upgrades of the Covenant lase, Energy sword, shotgun and Marine machine gun are awesome. Even though it has the Halo theme running through it, it does retain that Mario feeling, which makes it even more awesome. Hearing that Halo music blare at the beginning and then seeing Mario show up on screen is just fantastic. Stay tuned as I dig up more of these for you guys to view.
Condemned 2 Bloodshot is a very dark and twisted game that kind of blurs the line between reality and the paranormal. At first glance the game reminds me a lot of Max Payne in that it is very dark and there are many demented noises to set the mood. You are a detective/special agent Ethan Thomas and your primary mode of attack is beating people with your bare fists or anything you can grab up off the floor.
As I played through you see the “infected” or enemies and then some slimy black goo like enemies. I am not sure if these are meant to be superhuman or not? The game definitely has the dark and eerie portion down, but the element if the enemies are human or monsters is a bit odd. Is this supposed to be science fiction or mimic real life?
