Community Game Night: Halo: Reach – Fri June 21 @ 9pm CDT

Flatty and Gladiator Z56 will be hosting a community game night in Halo: Reach this Friday at 9pm CDT (10pm EDT/7pm PDT/3am BST). We’ll be playing exclusively racing maps, so get your Mongooses and Warthogs filled up!

As with previous CGNs, a 400 MSP code is up for grabs. Be sure to arrive on time since the code can be awarded in any game.

To reserve your spot, head over to the sign-up thread and reply to the OP. Hope to see you there!

A busy week for the Brigade

This last week for the Brigade has been active with milestones, a speed run, and the usual ammo-sharing love and fun.

Let’s start with the individual milestones.

SovietBeatle passed 450 in his run count in his usual style of Brute-bashing fun.

Pokenut passed his 200 run mark, preferring to let his weapons do the aggressive negotiations.

While these two were hitting their individual marks they also set a new speed record for Rally Point with a new time of 15:44. On this run Beatle, Pokenut, and Killagruntjaro put the pedal down and never let up.

Please join me in congratulating SovietBeatle, Pokenut, and Killagruntjaro on their milestones.

Great work guys and a big thank you to all the great work you do.

Recap: Halo 4 Mixer with Halo Junkies

Last week we mixed it up with members of the Halo Junkies in a night of custom and matchmade War Games in Halo 4. The second part of the mixer featured a friendly best-of-five competition in Halo 4, which happened earlier today. All of the games were hotly contested and well played, and everyone who participated deserves kudos for making each game awesome.

For the recap, hit the jump!

SIPWU: E3 Edition / Late Night Edition (Again)

If this post loads for you, consider yourself a winner!

We told you the update would be big, we weren’t joking one bit. I worked on this nonstop since 10am today. As of right now, it’s 12:04am. Heck, Pokenut pulled an all nighter and worked past 6am last night. It’s not like everyone procrastinated…There was just so much stuff.

Ok, I procrastinated. But not as much as you might think.

I kept chanting to myself, “the more work you put in, the bigger the payout”.

Then I remembered I’m not getting paid at all to do this, which sucks because my computer shuts down on me every 5 minutes and I need some money to replace the hard drive. While watching E3 this week I was greeted by a wonderful blue message on my screen, which basically told me that my computer is crap. Oh well…

*heavy sigh*

Anyways, The embed limit (20 videos) was reached pretty quickly. That’s why you start to see the funny looking text next to the video links. If you want them to go away, read the update on the blog. I don’t like it either but if Arby extended the limit, there is no way this page would load. I’d get rid of all the embedding if I could and just have links to the videos but then it looks pretty lame on the blog.

So let’s see…We have 39 topics, 49 videos, and the update is 5,500 words long instead of the usual 1,300.

Looks like a good update!

Real quick, I want to give a huge thanks to Pokenut, TravisSch, ROk198, and Gladiator Z56. All of them were a huge help and I couldn’t have done it without any of them (Well, I could but it would take half a century to complete and I’d have frequent headaches). I owe you all, big time.

Let the eye bleeding begin!
