The Register says 'beware!'
Thanks to Aaron Sommer, who spotted an article about Cannibal Harry's online woes at UK-based The Register. Definitely worth a read. (Louis Wu 19:24:41 UTC) (permalink)
Halo SETI Team 7 day stats posted
The Halo SETI Marines gain another 6 recruits this week, and remain firmly in 43rd position in the Battle of the Teams. DarthFlounder again outcrunches the competition, and Trux (a new recruit last week) leapfrogs over 48 team members to garner the Frogblast award. The most interesting movement, though, is the second-place cruncher this week... Chucky. Does the 35-50% increase in crunching (compared to the previous couple of months) mean the Halo dev team's computers have been beefed up... or that they haven't been used as much this week? All the gory details can be found on the 7 day stats page. Pax. (Crux Fidelis 14:20:53 UTC) (permalink)
Games that redefine their genre... sort of
Seen at Battleground: Halo - Speedy3D has an article comparing Black and White, Team Fortress 2, and Halo, discussing how they redifine their respective genres, and dreaming about how sweet it would be to see these in time for Christmas. Aside from the wholly unrealistic estimate of release dates, it was a fine article, at first... but my eyes glazed over when I read this line:
The story that is running behind Halo is reminiscent of Quake 2.
To each his own, I suppose. Excuse me, I have some more Banks reading to do. (Louis Wu 13:46:11 UTC) (permalink)
Halo video Music Clip from Down Under
David, an Australian fan, sent us this note:
This is David from the Australian Music Group Seventh, one of our fans made up a video Music Clip using Halo footage. The song in the clip is "I'm Gonna Fly" we recorded the track ealier in the year with Halo in mind.
The song won the Australian Triple J Unearthed Contest, which groups such as Silver Chair, Savage Garden have won and so on... The track I'm Gonna Fly is free for download from our site as well. If you get time check it out, its pretty cool...
The clip is in RealMedia format, and weighs in at a bit over 20 megs, zipped. The video is an edited version of the E3 movie, and fits surprisingly well with the music. We're hesitant to point out 20 meg download links any more, after what happened to Cannibal Harry, so be careful. If you want to check out the band, their website is here.
