Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

Yep, here in Chicago, it's just another day in December. I thought we were getting matchmaking information today though? I'm guessing Shishka doesn't know how to drive in the snow.

Anyway, sweet pic, and thanks for putting something up in the first place.

Yeah, I was hoping for some January matchmaking details. Great update, regardless.

If you want a quality threesome, save up a couple hundred bucks and get it from experienced Asian prostitutes.

"Why are they toting a plasma pistol when they should have located the sniper rifle?"
PP>Sniper. Coolness factor you know :) Owning the game on legendary with Plasma pistol is cool. BTW, is the overcharge damaging in ODST singleplayer like in Halo1 and the books?
Orbital looks good... just can we see Earth from windows and the actual space elevator/tether?

In what can only be described to Seattle locals as Snowpocalypse 2008 and described by hearty Midwesterners and East Coasters as "another day of winter," a gale of terrible power tore through Seattle this week, dusting the region in frigid powder. Everything froze up and turned to ice, driving was treacherous, and for safety the studio shut down. It's even closed today, but a few of us have braved ice, fire and snow to find a way to get something resembling an update into your hands, Internet.

That's a nice way of saying "My wife was driving me nuts so I was willing to risk death to get a break."

That sucked. So basically you said the next few weeks are gonna suck (update wise) then show a a single screen from Orbital and say tune in next week! You make no god damn sense.

Sweet pic!

I love you soooo much right now. Orbital looks awesome! (It kind of looks, from that screenshot, like it might play a bit like Rat Race from Halo CE... which is awesome!)

Have a great Christmas, guys. Stay safe... and why not 'keep it clean' while you're at it.

What would you do if you were Shishka for 24 hours?

Be less fat.

I can't help it. Your mom makes such a big breakfast when we wake up every morning.

I'm curious about the January matchmaking update update that was coming from Shishka this week. Did it just get scratched?

Q. crunchUK asks: What will these playlist changes for January be? Shishka said it was plain nuts...

A. Technically, he said it was “crazy talk.” And I don’t really know what he meant. But I do know that we’ll detail the Matchmaking changes for January in next week’s update. That's right kids, we're gonna attempt two updates back to back.

  • 12.19.2008 3:06 PM PDT

I am as good as I am because I have something called "natural talent". I could be pro at many games, but I choose to have a social life. I don't care if you are better then me in a video game because it does not mean anything in the real world. If you think bragging about video game stats and levels means something, you are wrong. People that cry over me being better, grow up and stop the hate.

The weather has been below 0 for almost a week here in Montana.....Glad to finally see a pic from Orbital.
