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.

I watched STS-123 takeoff from in front of the Launch Control Center at Kennedy on Tuesday morning while you were asleep (except for jayWHY). This video is from a different location but is pretty much what I saw. More importantly, it's pretty much what I heard. Turn up your speakers.

I use the word "awesome" too much. But that's a pretty good way to describe the event.

Good gravy. The power of the shuttle's SRBs continues to amaze me. It amazes me more that we can strap some humans to a roman candle like that, put them in orbit where we want them, and bring them back safely.

Mintz: Sorry to change the topic, but Slayer, are you bringing sausages to the LAN? Wieners? Bratwursts?

Slayer: That's cause brass balls require bigger clubs... and only a gifted few boast the required equipment.
