A lotta kills!
SketchFactor points out that it's only one week until the Killatacular Classic IGames Championship (a tourney with $5000 on the line for the top players). Go to it! (Louis Wu 21:04:51 UTC) (permalink)
A much better X03 transcript
Noctarus, of the Battleground: Halo forums, has written up a full transcript of the X03 video that's been the talk of the Halo community for a couple of days now. This is a much more complete and accurate transcript than the one IGN put up on Friday - absolutely worth a read, if you either couldn't download the movie, or couldn't hear things. Thanks to Fluffy for the heads-up. Update: DOH! Pasted the wrong link in there. Fixed now. Thanks, Ross. (Louis Wu 14:25:14 UTC) (permalink)
And Wait 'Til You Hear How Much He Charges.
One One Se7en looks at a tidbit that appeared due to modding not too long ago. I personally think it's a nasty shot - but that might be because I have an engineering degree (of sorts). (Louis Wu 04:50:42 UTC) (permalink)
While we were sleeping...
MaverickJ dropped us a note to point out that Project Spartan, a popular site with lots of cool tricks vids, is coming back. Details will be available at the above web address as soon as they're known. (Louis Wu 04:40:38 UTC) (permalink)
Fan Fiction Update
18 Fan Fiction pieces, and a bit of bad news: you may have noticed that HBO was offline for a bit over 4 hours this evening. This was partly due to some rather unpleasant people out there, and partly due to my own carelessness. With some help from the datacenter, we got back up and running - but we lost a chunk of data. I was able to restore from last night's backup... but everything local added SINCE then (5 am UTC) is gone. (News is stored in a second location, offsite, so that was easy to recover.) The loss that most affects visitors is that of any new fan fiction posted since 5 am UTC on Sunday morning. Basically, if you submitted a story recently, and it's not in this update (and you didn't try to cheat by padding a too-short story with gibberish), it's gone and you need to submit it again. Sorry. (Comments in the last day are also lost - again, I'm sorry.) I'm looking on the bright side - it could have been worse.
