Destiny-Ween: GIMME CANDY

Happy Halloween!

Ricardo is excited for candy and… that’s about it. Watch him get his wish and then blame it on the boogie in this excessively silly video covering some of the Tower’s festivities during Destiny’s Festival of the Lost event.

With the start of a new year comes the same old Pixel Podcast you know and love! Celebrating this New Year by going back in time to old ones, we travel around the globe in the 1890s, experience the bleak, yet cartoony years of 1914-1919, then imagine an alternate reality Nazi 1960s before returning to modern day Midwest invaded by aliens and Al Gore.

Halo: MCC multiplayer groans on launch day

Leave a reply

Were you excited to dust off those rusty old battle rifle and grenade-throwing skills in “Halo 2” multiplayer today? I certainly was.

But alas, “Halo: The Master Chief Collection” is suffering from some unruly multiplayer issues — surprising, considering Halo’s solid record when it comes to handling server load on launch day.

Matchmaking is currently down across all three games; Halo: Combat Evolved multiplayer doesn’t have a playlist just yet. Players trying to match up in a playlist will be stuck in a “finding players” purgatory.

It’s likely that 343 and Microsoft will sort out these issues soon. In the meantime, there’s plenty to enjoy about Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Take a moment to fire up the Halo 2 campaign; the cutscenes are breathtaking and the gunplay is still sublime.

Take a gander at the controls before you start, though. You may have forgot, as I did, that the left trigger throws grenades. Sorry Sgt. Johnson…
