Bungie Wields the Banhammer

Gamespot reports that an update to Halo 2 via Xbox live has dropped the hammer on cheaters who have been warned in previous weeks to cease their malicious ways. From the article: "These undefeatable foes aren't some new alien species that have invaded the ruckus created by Bungie. These are the work of hackers and modders, gamers who spend time improving their stats with cheats at the expense of others. As with any high-profile title, cheaters will run rampant in an effort to 'pwn n00bs' and generally frustrate those who play fairly. Bungie has not taken kindly to these folk."

I agree. Bungie for the most part has been like a kinder, gentler claw on the hand of Microsoft Satan.

You WILL provide me with full details about that "mod" that "hackers" are using to "cybersexual" with people. I will not stop until my countrymen are free to play video games without encountering sex of any sort.

That headline gives me a great idea for a new invention... the bungie hammer! Simply hold the hammer over the nail you want pounded in and let go. Gravity does all the work! This could be a fun and exciting way to do some of those household repairs that you've been putting off because a regular hammer is just too boring. Think of all the excitement that will come of never knowing where the hammer will bounce to next! Will it hit the nail, or will it simply crush your foot, crack your kneecap, and bruise up your shin? And (most importantly) will it miss the crotch on its way back up?!

This is quite possibly the worst idea I've ever had!

But as soon as you enter a public arena that you don't control you have to learn to play well with others.

Unless you play on the NBA. Then it's called "yelling the ref" until he gives you a good call.
