Halo: Portable

The chivalrous, gunslinging guys over at Tied the Leader have just recently made a contribution to Azalea Charities, which support combat wounded war veterans. We should thank them for supporting our troops, but also for helping shed a kinder light upon the gaming community as a whole.

TTL, you guys rock.

This is pretty cool. Zion, from the 1timeuser.com forums, posted a version of Halo for the PSP. It's a 2D side-scroller, and it seems similar to Halo Zero. Give it a download and lemme know what you think!

This episode features the other, not-as-useless-as-Funkmon-and-I-thought H:P Staffer Tex (picture on your right). We talk about Halo this time. Promise. Enjoy her shmexy voice.

Also, keep an eye out for Tex at ComiCon! She will be sporting Halo: Portable goodness, so be sure to get a picture with her!

Edit: The sync is broken. We're working on fixing it. Sorry. Keep an eye out for Tex, though!

Edit 2: We called a plumber, but he was missing his wrench (aka, the sync will not be fixed). Yes, it really, really sucks. But since we're such rational people, we're going to put it back up so you can at least listen to it and have the content.

First off, I am not lame. What is lame is how we had to sit and hear MINTZ talk about how he wants to join MTV’s latest reality show ‘Under aged and Engaged’. This was almost as lame as hearing Funkmon broadcast from the closet (hah).

Halo 3 E3 2007 Trailer.

Enjoy.

Halo 3 at E3, 2:17

As many of you know, at the E3 Microsoft conference a one-two punch was delivered to Halo fans as we all watched “Arms Race”. Which Bnet described as: A collaboration between Bungie Studios, director Neill Blomkamp, WETA Workshop and Origami Digital LLC, brings the first digital short depicting humanity's struggle to save Earth. You have to see it for yourself.

Our devoted follower, DEL360X was kind enough to inform me that Funkmon was going to upload this video for you all. But seeing as how he failed, I’m uploading this video, plus one more for your viewing pleasure.

This upload is PSP only atm, and being hosted off the server because although I am staff, no one gave me uploading permissions. It's also zipped. Sorry.

Here is your regularly scheduled podcast, folks. Funkmon and I discuss the Halo 3 beta, the different Halo 3 SKUs, Bungie Day, my article about Halo 2's Matchmaking, listener email, Tex's lameness, and more. This was recorded just before E3, so none of that stuff is in here. However, it will be in the next one!

Funkmon was using an MP3 player covered with a sock, so his voice quality is lacking compared to my professional, sound-canceling, $30 USB headset/mic combo. Click the pic to enjoy!

Listener mail! Woot! 100 podcast celebration! Machinima! Rockets on Prisoner! FAQs! Jen Taylor! Beta! Red vs Blue! Halo Clix (?)! Brand Identity! Bananaphone! Other stuff! Woot! (in all honesty, I (Funkmon) don't remember what we talked about, as usual, so I'm just going to say that we spent the last half hour on listener emails.

Also, secret bonus ending for those who listen past the minute of silence!

UPDATE: The feed hates us. If you get this via a podcatcher, then it's like 4 days late. TY.
