I think we may have also been on there last week when we lead with the HALO 3 ARG story. I saw some traffic coming this way from the AOTS website then.

Good work everybody. And welcome to the new visitors!

Update: Sweet goodness sugar!


Thanks for

THX on MyGamerCard.net

Submitted by rapture on Sun, 05/27/2007 - 1:56pm.

Midnight has created a group for the Hushed Casket at MyGamerCard.net. MGC has some amazing stats on gamerscores in general. With the THX group, we'll be able to keep tabs on what THX'ers are playing and their gamerscore progress.

For instance, you can sort our group by game. So, you can see who has the highest score in Geometry Wars, Guitar Hero II, or Gears of War. GG.

I'll add a link to this site to the menu soon so that you can check back later.

Website notice. DDoS.

Media Temple, the company that hosts our website, is experiencing a network-wide Distributed Denial of Service. It is currently affecting many customers.

That has resulted in the website to be unreachable or experience slower-than-normal load times. The website went offline early this morning and had popped on- and offline throughout the day.

Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon.

THX on USA Today.com

daremo and Bullet walked into my office today asking if I noticed that hushedcasket.com was mentioned in a HALO 3 article at USAToday.com. Sure enough, we are listed under "Gamer Opinions" on the HALO 3 beta article. Pretty cool. Thanks to Mike Snider at USAToday.com for picking up our feed. Thanks to daremo for being an uber geek that reads USAToday's Tech section every day.

Over the past year we've seen more and more mainstream websites pick up hushedcasket.com stories. Of course, Midnight has gotten a lot of attention from the NY Times, Wired, Boing Boing, and more for his military efforts. Our gaming content has been picked up by some top gaming-related website likes Kotaku, Digg, XBOX360fanboy, EvilAvatar, and more. Just last week, (the back of the head of some) THX'ers were seen on a story on Joystiq.com.

Good work to those of you that are creators of original copy and content. Thanks for your words and creativity.

By the way, the Evil Avatar story is causing a bit of controversy in the media right now. What he said got printed in newspapers around the globe. Gamerscore blog has coverage.

THX Is Worth HOW Much???

Submitted by Mintz on Fri, 02/23/2007 - 5:43pm.

Turns out http://hushedcasket.com is worth a pocket full of change... if you carry around $77,906.52 worth of change, that is. According to a very sketchy, ballpark-guessing website, THX.com is worth money. Try it yourself if you don't believe me.

According to the site, they use "the same link to dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal." AOL-Weblogs Inc is the company that hosts Engadget, Joystiq, etc.

Hawgdaddy and Insane's fishing website

In case you don't know, Hawgdaddy and Insane have a fishing website. It's a blog about trout fishing and life. Hawgdaddy shows off some of his most outstanding photos of nature. I enjoy looking at those. Both Hawgdaddy and Insane are good writers and update the site several times each week.

Give it a look and subscribe to their feed:

3-shot lessons

THX'ers gather around for 3-shot lessons

This past Saturday the Hushed Casket held its first epic HALO LAN of 2007 in Huntsville, Alabama.  It was massive (over 30 gamers), starting on Saturday morning at 11 AM and lasting until 6 AM on Sunday.  That’s 19 hours of hi-def gaming.  Travelers made their way to the event by flying in from as far away as California and Philadelphia.  Others made the drive from the Auburn and Birmingham areas.  While we’ve hosted LANs with more people in attendance in the past, the local Casket community brought the gear, making it the most high-tech and playable LAN to-date.  We had nearly two dozen original XBOX and XBOX 360 consoles at the event along with 10 hi-def displays and copious standard-definition displays scattered throughout the home, including a 95” LCD projector display (image).
