No more Halo for Trautmann - really.
A couple of days ago, we posted a note suggesting that Eric Trautmann might not have left the Halo universe entirely. An email from Eric points out that we misinterpreted the blog entry - no matter WHAT happens to his job, he won't be working on Halo. He IS looking forward to the wedding, though. Priorities - it's all about priorities. And he's got good ones. (Louis Wu 12:34:04 UTC) (permalink)
Short People Got No...
Bah. Looks like Warbow got one last Calvin and Halo into the queue before he left for the summer - and I missed it on Tuesday. It's posted now. When you play a game, you should always think the rules through before you start. (Louis Wu 12:27:46 UTC) (permalink)
The Case for Switching
MasterGrief points out an 'Advertisement Campaign for Halo CE' over on the Halomods forum. In actuality, it's a video made by Aztec showing gameplay on Fissure Falls - but who am I to argue? Available in high and low resolutions (bizarrely, the screensize of the 'low-res' version is larger than that of the 'hi-res' version, though it DOES have a lower bitrate). DivX-encoded .avi, 11.2 or 14.7 mb, depending on the version you grab. (Louis Wu 12:17:48 UTC) (permalink)
Keyes - Directly
Direct downloads of the Keyes winning run of our Going Nowhere Fast contest are now available; visit the GNF Status page for your choices. Quick Update on BitTorrent stats for the contest vids in general - 12,000 total downloads have been handled by the network, accounting for 1.2 terabytes over the past couple of weeks. (Our normal bandwidth needs haven't decreased because of this contest - this number is in ADDITION to what we normally handle.) Direct downloads account for another very large chunk of bandwidth - I don't have exact numbers, because I don't have access to all the server logs, but I'm guessing it's on the same order as the BT downloads. For this particular series of downloads, BitTorrent made a HUGE bandwidth requirement tolerable for our network of self-supported servers. (Louis Wu 11:17:40 UTC) (permalink)
