The Unreal Thing
Wednesday's One One Se7en is now up. Harsh truth... but tru7h nonetheless. (Louis Wu 21:50:12 UTC) (permalink)
So THAT'S where I was...
Yesterday, Gholsbane posted a rough sketch of the E3 demo map. Today, he's got a polished, colored version, with pretty icons and everything. Check it out! (Louis Wu 20:43:15 UTC) (permalink)
Beauty and the Beast, indeed.
SketchFactor graced our forum with a pretty clear shot of the Hog billboard from the E3 demo trailer. He was afraid nobody would notice it, though... go appease his fear, would you? Thanks. (Louis Wu 20:22:56 UTC) (permalink)
Halogamers.com goes live
Wow. Every week, we get email from folks who want their site to be added to our Links list. We announce 'em all... but it's rare that I'm as impressed with one as I am with Halogamers.com. Clean design, good (unique) content, lots to explore... It's not finished yet, but it's well on its way. Check 'em out... and if you're near Eau Claire, WI, go play with 'em!

GamePlasma previews Halo 2
Another Halo 2 Preview posted - this time over at GamePlasma. Some um... interesting suggestions (the machete's back? And release has been pushed up to December 2003?), but mostly a pretty upbeat piece. Thanks to TankRamp, at Battleground: Halo, for the heads-up. (We've added this to our Previews section.)

Halo Tourneys up north
A pair of Canadian tournaments for you: Got Game has a FFA tourney running June 27-29 in Victoria, British Columbia - $20 to get in, $500 first prize, more details at the website... and Fragapalooza, in Edmonton, Alberta, will happen on July 17-20 - it includes a 4v4 CTF tourney. There's $30,000 in prizes on the line for the entire event (Halo is a small part of the package). Thanks to Dark-Bane and Sabre for the heads-ups. (Louis Wu 14:18:23 UTC) (permalink)
WMP7 version of demo trailer available
Last alternative version, at least from us: this one is in WMP7 format, 360x243 big, weighing in at 46.2mb. If anyone has a problem with it, PLEASE let us know. We've also put up a secondary mirror list, for those times (like this afternoon) when HBO goes offline for a bit. They should be identical; go to the one that's easiest to reach. (For those interested in these sorts of numbers, o1.com (the Red vs Blue guys) transferred over 4.5 terabytes of Demo trailer movies in the past 4 days, not including the BitTorrent versions, and Mythica's closing in on 3 terabytes. Don't even ASK what that would have cost from a standard service provider...) (Louis Wu 00:12:54 UTC) (permalink)
