Signing off...
News will be slow for the next... well, bunch of hours. I'm headed for the airport, to hop on a plane to Texas and attend Halo Fanstock, a Gearbox/MS event taking place tomorrow. Report, of course, to follow... (Louis Wu 15:17:22 UTC) (permalink)
Poor Sir Dan
We haven't posted a new movie for you to watch in some time; partly, that's because bandwidth has been really tight since Mythica went offline in late July (though it should be back soon...), and partly it's because there haven't been a lot of submitted movies. However, there was one in the queue from mid-July that never got posted - we figured we'd put it out there now. This was an early effort by Athol Productions (makers of Enter the Matrix, Blair Witch Halo, and other enjoyable Halo vids). It's called 'Sir Dan is a Newbie' and it has Mike making fun of his brother (who, he says, is actually quite good in reality). It's 2:04 long, 7.7 mb big, and in WMP7 format. It was a 'personal video', but several friends convinced Mike to release it publicly - I'm glad they did. It's pretty funny, and production quality is quite high. Enjoy it!

2003 Rockets on Prisoners Awards
CobaltNova has posted the results of the 2003 Rockets on Prisoner Awards for best Halo movies... winners get cash, courtesy of That Weasel, and a Bungie Prize Pack, courtesy of Bungie. As an amusing side note, I voted with the majority in exactly... zero of the categories. :) Looks like I'm outta sync with the Halo movie-watching audience! (Louis Wu 14:19:06 UTC) (permalink)

Small People Have Less to Lose
stan writes to point out a new clan site, The Rabid Lilliputians. (It was up yesterday, but loading times were horribly slow, so I passed on mentioning it. He's fixed some html, and things work better now.) They're having an art contest... take a look! (Louis Wu 12:47:40 UTC) (permalink)
Killtacular!
Killtacular.com, a website devoted to the upcoming Killtacular Classic iGames Championship, is back open for business. The event is on for September 27, with $5000 in prizes on the line. Registration info coming soon... check this out! (Louis Wu 12:18:44 UTC) (permalink)
Maybe you should try listening slower.
Red vs Blue has posted Episode 16 for sponsors; Buzby and gfunk will be at QuakeCon this weekend, so the general release will likely not be early. (That means, if you want to see this before Sunday afternoon at the earliest... go give 'em some cash.) Donut's back... and I'm pretty happy about that. (Louis Wu 12:09:34 UTC) (permalink)
