Great Halo Scavenger Hunt Begins
HBO has posted The Rules to the Great Halo Scavenger Hunt, the winner(s) of which will be literally drowned in miscellaneous Bungie gear. The keys to the whole things are trinkets: two kinds, Instant Win (IW) trinkets, and clue trinkets (ten of them) that lead to the solution of the whole thing... somehow.

Killtastic!
Got my copy of Halo for the PC the other day and have been playing for a while. Heard "Killtastic!" for the first time today from the game's announcer. That was pretty funny. I was attempting to take over the hill on "King of The Hill" and when I arrived at the hill on foot I saw maybe 6 or 7 enemies defending. Happily I had Invisibility, Shield, a handfull of grenades, and the Fuel Rod gun. Heh. When I gleefully unloaded on them with a big grin on my face I heard, "Double Kill!", "Triple Kill!", then "Killtastic!". What a riot.
