The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Hushed Casket staff

The Hushed Casket is powered by real gamers. Founded in early 2002 after the release of the XBOX console, our members have grown the Hushed Casket from a weekly LAN party into an active multi-gaming, technology-lovin' community. Here are the folks that oversee THX operations from a high-rise Saturn V rocket in Huntsville, Alabama.

Mintz: Sorry to change the topic, but Slayer, are you bringing sausages to the LAN? Wieners? Bratwursts?
[05/11-11:18am]
Slayer: That's cause brass balls require bigger clubs... and only a gifted few boast the required equipment.

Midnight: lol
[05/11-07:09am]
CynEater: It's hard to play golf with brass balls...
[05/10-09:34pm]
