And the Polls Begin
Gamespot has a poll on its front page: Which game are you most looking forward to seeing at E3? Halo 2 is currently leading with 29% of almost 8500 votes (nearest competitor at this point is Half-Life 2, with 16%). Go vote! Thanks to Carlo Zottmann for the heads-up.

Omegathon at the PAX
At the end of August, Penny Arcade is hosting the Omegathon - a two-day, 6-round gaming competition to win an enormous, $15,000 gaming collection. Round 2 is Halo. If you think you can go head-to-head against the best, sign up for the Penny Arcade Expo. Thanks to 3Suns for noticing. (Louis Wu 11:57:02 UTC) (permalink)
Ar would be proud
New contest over at Battleground: Halo; write a haiku poem about Halo 2, win MLG goodies. Not bad! Full details are available on their contest page. (Louis Wu 11:03:35 UTC) (permalink)
Go, invisi-MC!
New stop-action movie from Team Scoog - 117 Rumble. Pretty nicely done! 53 seconds, 3.7 mb, WMP9 format. Check it out! (Louis Wu 10:55:05 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Insanity in Chitown
Dolbex, the new web guy for Major League Gaming, writes to point out Midwest Madness, a tournament in Chicago on June 19th and 20th. Check out the website for details about registration, hotels, and the like. Lookin' good! (Louis Wu 10:47:35 UTC) (permalink)
RvB in May's CGW
May's Computer Gaming World has not only a unique RvB vid, as we mentioned yesterday, but an article on the Red vs Blue team itself. There's also a sidebar about the Nightmare Armor team. Thanks to Deimos™ for the heads-up, over on Subnova. (Louis Wu 10:38:05 UTC) (permalink)
Keyes Speedrun example
This was released last week - but we didn't have the bandwidth for it. Spotcheck did another speedrun on an as-yet-unshown level, Keyes. It's still on Halo PC and the difficulty isn't Legendary - but if you're looking to run Keyes in our Going Nowhere Fast contest, this vid might show you some useful shortcuts. It's 19.2 mb, in QuickTime format, and you can grab it here. (The run took him 6 minutes, 40 seconds.) It's still available on That Weasel's site in WMP9 format (19.6 mb). Update: Uriel has kindly mirrored both the QuickTime version and the 19.6 mb WMP9 version at WWWP.de. (Louis Wu 09:49:01 UTC) (permalink)
Lookin' for that Orgasmic, Euphoric Triumph
The Bungie Weekly Update has been posted over at Battleground: Halo, amidst flames from site staff and requests for geriatric porn. There's quite a bit more info than there's been in the past few weeks; some of it is just E3 expectation comments from the team, but there's lots of Halo 2 meat, as well. Go read!
