Mac Halo awakened?
Oops - we missed this a few days ago. Mac Halo, an Inside Mac Games affiliate that has had on-again, off-again webmastering over the past several months, seems to have been revived. Welcome to Matt Malinowski, the 'new guy who will be bringing you the news now, only several days later'. Let's hope they're back for good! Pax. (Crux Fidelis 19:03:10 UTC) (permalink)
Mirror, mirror, on the net...
Pete Cooner, admin of the bungie.org Hotline server, dropped us a note to say that the GameStar movie is up on the BorgHL server, plus a couple of personal servers - folks should check the news and user list for details. He reminded us that Hotline might be a better choice for modem users, since the downloads are resumable. A full list of mirrors has been compiled here (and will be added to the Movies page momentarily). (Louis Wu 13:51:38 UTC) (permalink)
More mirrors for the Gamestar movie
Thanks to AcidBurn, for making two new mirrors for the GameStar movie (these both in Germany) available:
Also, thanks to Yosr, who made the movie available on his mac, using MacOS Web Sharing - a grand gesture, at the very least! Go get 'em! (Louis Wu 12:11:19 UTC) (permalink)
The meat behind the matter
Noctavis spun out one of his trademark-length posts, explaining in quite a bit more detail what's going on with Rampancy.net - definitely worth a read. (Louis Wu 09:23:09 UTC) (permalink)
Mirrors up for the Gamestar movie
More apologies, this time for actually going to sleep. In the last 5 hours, though, 4 mirrors have popped up for the GameStar movie - we're supremely grateful to the folks who helped out here.
- Fileplanet mirror (2 download links - thanks, Bounty!)
- tornado.omnicon.net (thanks, B-Sharp!)
- ghalidrim.2y.net (Hotline server - thanks, ghalidrim!)
Hopefully, one of these will get you the file you're looking for - we'll add new mirrors when we hear of them. (The HL server, by the way, has been throttled to 10 downloads - be gentle.) (Louis Wu 08:52:17 UTC) (permalink)
Fansite operator interviews at the Junkyard
Ryan 'Mhaddy' Matthews writes to say that the Junkyard has put up the first of 13 interviews with fan site personnel, exploring why they do what they do and what it takes. This one is with Manveer 'Eidolon' Heir of VoodooExtreme. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 08:43:53 UTC) (permalink)
Gamestar down - pipe too small
Apologies - our puny T1 just couldn't handle it. The server hosting that GameStar movie died under the almost 600 simultaneous connections you folks threw at it - I've (regretfully) pulled it until we can get some mirrors going. If you can mirror this, let us know (preferably with a place we can upload it to) - until then, it's gotta be offline again. Sorry. (Louis Wu 01:50:42 UTC) (permalink)
