Calvin? I thought you said Judas.
Today's Calvin and Halo shows why you shouldn't mistreat your children. (Louis Wu 14:56:47 UTC) (permalink)
Haikuna Matata
Battleground: Halo has posted the results of its Haiku contest from last month. You have to get through a LOT of explanation before you actually get to the contest results... but they're there (along with the winning haikus themselves). Go see if you're going home with MLG schwag! (Louis Wu 10:54:48 UTC) (permalink)
Joyride Update
My bad for not getting to this right away - earlier this week, Joyride updated their site with pictures of the Halo 2 prototypes (Brute and MC). I didn't think it was such a big deal, since these prototypes were shown, pretty nicely, in a LOT of E3 Fanfest writeups. (A good example is Dan Chosich's impressions - Joyride pics are halfway down the page.) However, we've been getting a LOT of mail, and that has only increased since TeamXbox posted a note about this yesterday afternoon... so here's the official HBO news post, Joyride has updated its website, you can stop emailing us now. First heads-up goes to Shinigamiv20, who mentioned it to us several days ago. (Louis Wu 10:32:30 UTC) (permalink)
Kikizo films EVERYTHING
Kikizo Games has put over 5 hours of video from E3 online (including about 20 minutes of Halo 2-related footage). Most of it has already been available from other sources for a while now - but there IS a new file; the 68 mb, 640x480 shakeycam version of the Press briefing, filmed off a Widescreen TV, narrated by SketchFactor, hasn't been seen before. It's the standard demonstration - but for folks who want to watch as many different takes as they can (all are slightly different, of course), this is worth grabbing. Everything is WMP9 format. Thanks to eddie_m for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 10:17:29 UTC) (permalink)
New Halo CE maps for download
Oddworld18 points out a new map designed by Baka - it's called Frost, and it's really quite nice. There's a thread about it on the Gearbox forums, and it can be downloaded from The Imperium Software. Also, we got mail from Fatch about a new release he's created, called Cover Canyon II - an open canyon with very different bases. If the first link in the thread doesn't work, scroll down - there are some mirrors further down. (Louis Wu 10:01:28 UTC) (permalink)
