It's coming...
smeginfrell has put together a Halo 2 teaser ad, using footage he's created himself using some 3D rendering/animation software. It's short (1:15) but sort of large (9.2 mb in WMP9 format, 9.6 mb in QuickTime format) because of its large screensize: 856x480 pixels. Very nice work, overall. Take a look!

Ride of the Valkyries - to the moon, Alice
Icetiger, who plays on HPC as IcetigerMOM (and generally kills me a LOT on HBO Coerce), has released a movie showing his work-in-progress, a moon level. Low gravity, Spartan bots, and a super-powerful sword are some of the fun aspects of this one. You can find links on both Battground: Halo's forum and Halomods' forum. The movie is WMP9 format (divx-encoded), 5:16 long, and a 19.5 mb download. The map is still in beta, and is not available for download. Can't wait to play this one!

The Xtournaments website has much more information, and the list of gaming centers hosting the qualifying matches can be found on the iGames site. (Louis Wu 14:11:28 UTC) (permalink)
Date. Up. Week.
Last Friday's Weekly Bungie Update has now been added to our searchable archive; you can use it to discover interesting things. For example, I've always thought of Pete Parsons as a rather classy guy, someone who put a decent face on the rabble that is Bungie. The Sushi Fart comment this week threw me... until I did a quick search for Pete in the database, and discovered that he's a scatalogically inclined, rodent-based murder-obsessed lecher with a lousy car - amazing what you can miss when you're not looking.

That's a lotta wheels.
rapture found a fun image on Planet Unreal. I'm kinda glad Halo doesn't actually work like that. (Yes, this is Halo-related; the pic comes from a UT version of Blood Gulch.) (Louis Wu 09:30:16 UTC) (permalink)
It's worse than when you are driving...
Dogsounds, a staple on our forum for a long time, went away. Now he's back. How do I know? Oh... it's probably the milk squirting out my nose. (Louis Wu 09:24:30 UTC) (permalink)
