Does that mean I'm allowed to post about our Halo 3 online competition over on MB? :p

Some of you guys should really go this time... Big D [conveniently living in Birmingham], what's your excuse this time?!

EDIT: Also worth checking out is this YouTube video from the first event. Just don't listen to the guy, he WILL send you to sleep:

You'll have to clear that with Kon - sure there shouldn't be a problem.

Like I said, Ant has cleared this as an OK - hopefully some of you guys can review it for us :)

Thanks for the link Cat!
