With a keen eye and ever-sarcastic gaze, the folks over at Sarcastic Gamer have just discovered a stunning, earth-shattering truth about our great leader, Foo Mo Jive.

He plays Halo 3 on Easy. Yeah, really.

Also known as Baby Mode, or in the parlance of the streets, Sucka Mode. Yeah, REALLY.

Why, you ask? Well, as far as the rest of us at Podtacular headquarters know, he was probably just looking to boost his 'cheevo score and find some skulls buried deep in the bowels of the Cortana level (who knows what's up in there) but we all know that there's no acceptable reason to be playing Halo 3 on Easy. Not unless you're going head-to-head with Mr. T, Chuck Norris and Ahnuld all at once and the only way to escape with your life is to start up campaign in true sissy fashion. Even then, it might be best to take the pummeling and at least go out like a man.

Either way, here's hoping that one Mr. Foo Mo Jive can show his face and we can all rest easy that this was just a case of mistaken identity, or some other semi-believable circumstance that would keep the world from collapsing upon itself. Please?

Well, it looks like it's time to rekindle a friendly rivalry and go head to head with none other than Bungie themselves for another Humpday Challenge!

If you recall (and here's a link if you don't), Podtacular flew the glorious flag of victory after beating Bungie back in June 2006. It was a hard and well-fought battle, but now we're back to do it again in Halo 3! Wish those members of the Podtacular community that will be playing tonight luck!

UPDATE: Well, we can say we started off great, but they got the better of us and things eventually slid downhill as Bungie beat us 2 games to 1. What can we say, it was fair and square (except for one Mr. Luke Smith putting the kick-boot to one of our players during the second game) and above all, it was fun and we definitely look forward to rematch sometime in the future. That and some Team Bubblebath!

UPDATE 2: Here are the final game results from bungie.net:
Game 1 | Game 2 | Game 3

PRO TIP: Download the videos of the matches and watch the action! Just click on one of the games above, go to the Assets tab, and click to download one of the videos of the match.

They'll make you laugh, they'll make you cry. And go ahead, make fun...we're big boys, we can take it.

Why is this important to us at Podtacular, you ask? As it turns out, our friends at the GamerCast Network have arranged a special community day event on November 8th and our very own Dialpex will be attending, along with others like Godfree from Gamertag Radio and Jay from Uncle Gamer. There they'll be getting a hands-on look at the game's multiplayer mode and a preview of the single player campaign, and will be reporting back with their impressions and feedback. So, if you've had an eye on Kane and Lynch, be sure to check out all the GCN coverage in the coming week!
