Halo Squeaks By Quake
Wow. That was a nailbiter, for anyone watching the voting on the Gamespy Title Fight match... but in the end, Halo fans pulled out the win, 9232 to 9211 (yes, it was a 21 vote margin on almost 18,500 votes cast). Nice going, folks! Next up - Goldeneye - again. (Halo beat Goldeneye handily in the first round, but they picked up an Extra Life slot, beat TIE Fighter and Super Metroid, and are up again for the championship.) Tune in next week for another exciting episode! (Louis Wu 20:13:13 UTC) (permalink)
Last Call for Votes
We don't usually do this... but this one's gonna be pretty darn tight. The Gamespy Title Fight (Halo vs Quake is neck and neck; Quake is currently hanging on to a 50-vote lead (out of 15,000 cast). There are less than 2 hours of voting time left; votes are IP-checked, so if you've already voted from your IP address, don't bother trying to vote a second time, but if you haven't voted, please do! It takes less than 20 seconds, and it would be great to see Halo win this one. (Louis Wu 18:18:51 UTC) (permalink)
Let's try Assault next!
Sort of a Sunday Calvin and Halo today - I gotta say, it looks like fun. Too bad it's still snowing here... (Louis Wu 17:36:00 UTC) (permalink)
SparkEdit 3.02 released
Grenadiac has squashed a few new bugs (and added a new feature) in SparkEdit - v3.02 is available for download now at Halomods. Thanks to Narcogen, at Rampancy.net, for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 10:26:03 UTC) (permalink)
Pretty, Pretty Pictures
Forum newcomer Mills has tossed up his own collection of HUDless screenshots - and there are some doozies in there. Go look. They're cool. (Louis Wu 10:21:38 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Solitaire
Dr. Nick has created a replacement deck for the standard Solitaire game that comes with Windows; you can see a screenshot of the installer, and have access to download links, in this forum post. (Louis Wu 09:54:32 UTC) (permalink)
Kiss Me, I'm Irish
Red vs Blue has put up another Sponsors-only vid, in honor of St. Patrick's Day; it's short (1:14), and small (7.3 mb), and only available in the RvB forum at the moment... unfortunately for c0ld vengeance, credit for this one goes to Ross Mills, who noticed it and posted on our forum.

Halo... Quake... it's gonna be down to the wire
Whoa, it's a close one. With about 11 hours left in the voting in today's Gamespy Title Fight, Halo leads Quake by a pretty thin margin; 300 votes (out of a total of almost 9000 cast so far). If you haven't voted yet, go do so now, and make sure that Halo advances to the finals! (Louis Wu 08:53:25 UTC) (permalink)
Two Thumbs Up
For the first time in almost a year, HBO's Movie Database is up-to-date; thanks to the help of Deanero, KP, and Mythica (especially Mythica), the number of movies recorded is almost double what it was yesterday. I'm sure there are mistakes, and oversights... but an awesome amount of work went into this, in an attempt to catalog films released to the Halo community; if there's something you wanted to see, but didn't know where to find it... this is the place. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 08:42:51 UTC) (permalink)
Running Through Doors
There have been several examples of people getting out of the Maw near the beginning, but goatrope found a new one. Check out the small vid (3 mb) linked in his forum post - thanks to KP for the hosting. (1:11 long, DivX format.) Update: this has been mirrored at Rampancy.net, which is good, because it swamped KP's net connection last night. (Louis Wu 00:05:00 UTC) (permalink)
