CGN previews Halo 2
Oops - another one we missed... Cyber Gaming Network has put up a Halo 2 preview. Not very long... but they hit the highlights. Again, thanks to BGH. We've added this to our Previews database. (Louis Wu 21:31:40 UTC) (permalink)
The Treachery of Bits
Hehe - we almost forgot to mention... several hours before WE came back online, another casualty of digital corruption, Subnova, came back up, sporting a database that's two months old. It must have gone through the Blue Base Teleporter... (Louis Wu 21:13:55 UTC) (permalink)
Reminder
People are STILL sending us E3 demo movie links of varying legality, so let me repeat what was posted last week: There will, very soon, be an official version of the movie released by Bungie. This will be a direct-feed video (unlike all the existing ones, which were done with camcorders), it will be higher quality than the cams, and it will be official and completely legal. It will almost certainly be released either on Halo.bungie.net or through our existing mirror system (I don't know this at the moment). That is the ONLY version of the movie we will ever post a link to. So please stop mailing them in, OK? (Count Zero 20:44:10 UTC) (permalink)
IGN verdict: Halo 2 ROCKS.
IGN has posted their Xbox Best of E3 awards, and Halo 2 took a few: Best Graphics, Technological Excellence, Best Shooter, and Best Xbox Game of E3. Not too shabby! Thanks to Battleground: Halo for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 20:43:28 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2: Second Best of Show, says Gamespy
The rest of Gamespy's Top 25 games at E3 (we mentioned it yesterday, when Halo PC pulled 24th), is up... and Halo 2 snagged #2. (First place went to Half-Life 2.) Go read what they liked, and didn't like! (Louis Wu 20:23:59 UTC) (permalink)
Dude, hold still. I don't think it sees us.
c0ld vengeance (among others, but he was first) noticed that Red vs Blue Episode 7 was posted this morning for sponsors. (It'll be out for the general public on Sunday.) Personally, I found it to be the brightest spot of my morning. Pay 'em the measly $5 and get your copy now! (Louis Wu 20:16:57 UTC) (permalink)
OXM Fanfest Report on B.net
Frank O'Connor, Executive Editor of OXM, enjoyed himself at the Fanfest last week. So much so that he wrote up the details in an entertaining report. And gave it to Bungie. Who posted it at B.net. Go read it. (mnemesis gets first dibs on notice.) (Louis Wu 20:09:52 UTC) (permalink)
Dead Time is Over (for now)
We're back. (Duh.) Gonna try and catch up now. Lots of you rock. Some of you don't. And so it goes. (Louis Wu 20:03:37 UTC) (permalink)
SC Speed Run - fixed
Update on a recent movie: I was an idiot, and sound is broken on the early version of the Silent Cartographer Speed Run for 95% of viewers. (It's a mystery to me why it's not 100%, but some people have no problems.) In any case, both versions (Mythica and Psyjnir) have been replaced with new versions; if you were having trouble before, grab it again. Apologies for the waste of time/bandwidth; I'll try not to do this again. (Louis Wu 00:09:00 UTC) (permalink)
