Being a good racer in Halo isn't just about getting the best times. You have to know where your teammates and enemies are, and most of all... how to be crafty! XD -nods-

Oh... and "v.v" = sad face.





Props to Plixity for the first sig, Slayton for the Season XIII trophy sig, and Jane for the banner! Thx guys! ^.^

As far as I have understood, the GameSpy website and the Powered by GameSpy (which provides the Internet lobby-) are separated companies. The GameSpy website is closing down now, Powered by GameSpy just keeps running.

So long as they choose to do so, yes, but to my knowledge, they no longer have contracts requiring them to do so any more. Hence the servers and the code they run may "go away" at any time.

The service itself keeps running, they can decide at a certain moment to no longer support Halo, which would be a shame of course.

The GameSpy services that include the lobby are owned by Glu Mobile, and have nothing to do with the blogging/news website that is shutting down.

As far as I know, by reading the whole article on the gamespy website, IGN is doing some corporate restructuring. With that there are some loses.
