Truth and Recon via Direct Download
Apologies for the delay - the third release of the Going Nowhere Fast winning runs, Truth and Reconciliation, is now available via direct download. 850 people have already grabbed the vid via BitTorrent (along with 2000 copies of the Pillar of Autumn run and 1000 copies of the Halo run) - but I know there are always those who would rather use their web browser, so for you folks, we have a number of high-capacity download links. You'll find them on the GNF Status page. (Louis Wu 19:51:45 UTC) (permalink)
Ferrex bleeds too, you know
I'm headed up to see Blackstar pretty soon, so before I go, let me toss out today's Calvin and Halo, his comment on some potential pitfalls in upcoming level design. (Louis Wu 16:14:51 UTC) (permalink)
Halo at 1Up
1up.com has added a new Halo 2 preview today - it looks somewhat familiar, but I can't find a record of posting it before, so I'm crossing my fingers. Dan Hsu, of EGM, clearly liked the game. Thanks, Anton. (It's also interesting that Halo AND Halo 2 are on the 1up.com Buzzometer - in 6th and 1st place, respectively. Thanks, Toby.) Update: Free at Last thinks he read it, too - and points out this news post (whose link no longer works). It looks like 1up.com changed their layout completely, and some of the dates might have gotten toasted in the move. (Louis Wu 15:25:30 UTC) (permalink)
Sniper Derby at September Tourney
The Xtournaments Crew points out that they've added a Sniper Derby to their State vs State Nationals event in September. Your team's best sniper will have 1 minute to shoot as many other sniper-equipped players as possible. The event is on Boarding Action, CTF settings (so that the sniper is one color, all targets are another), and nobody but the sniper can shoot. (The targets are all other contestants, so you can be sure they'll be doing their best not to die.) Sounds like fun! (There's no additional cost to enter this derby, and the winner will take home some cash.) If you're signed up for the tournament, you need to leave a post on their forum with the name of your team's sniper. (Louis Wu 14:36:19 UTC) (permalink)
Applegeeks goes Halo
Today's Applegeeks comic is Halo-related; it's the second half of a story they started a couple of days ago. Thanks to Inky and Black Six for pointing it out. (Louis Wu 14:11:39 UTC) (permalink)
New Toys. Happy Happy.
Bungie has posted an article detailing two new figures out from Joyride this month, a Cobalt MC (different from the current Battle-Damage MC at GameStop), available at EB and an Active Camo Elite at Hollywood Video. Looks like Coviehunter made a minor notice of the Elite on our forum today. (mnemesis 05:59:23 UTC) (permalink)
