Tuesday Tales
9 new stories added to the Fan Fiction section - might have been more, but a couple of folks thought that no punctuation at all was a good thing. Enjoy. (Louis Wu 22:37:58 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Print Ad - round 2
Dan Mitteer found a new Halo 2 ad in October's Gamepro mag; it follows the trend of the first Halo 2 print ad, except the picture is better and they moved away from the Halo font. You'll find small versions that Dan posted in this post, and larger ones in this post. (Louis Wu 22:29:02 UTC) (permalink)
Michigan Halo Tourney
There's a Halo tournament in Eastpoint, Michigan, on August 15; 2-man teams, entrance fee is $40/team, top prize is $120. Information can be found on this website. (Louis Wu 16:58:57 UTC) (permalink)
And THAT'S why accidents happen.
Once again, though a few days ago, Roger Wilco took some fun motion capture footage, and applied the Master Chief skin to it. As he says, this one definitely needs sound. (1.1 mb, QuickTime format.) (Louis Wu 14:20:06 UTC) (permalink)
MLG San Francisco
The next big MLG tournament (after Seattle, at the end of this month) will be in San Francisco, on September 11/12... and the San Francisco subsite just went live at MLGPro.com. Go check it out! (I couldn't find any info on registration fees or prize values... but I'm sure they're coming.) Thanks, Dolbex. (Louis Wu 12:21:32 UTC) (permalink)
The first of the Halo 2 Beta reports
Recently, a whole passel of press hung out at Bungie and played some Halo 2 multiplayer. The first magazine with this information is already on newsstands... in Germany. According to Tempus Fugit, Xbox Zone has a solid hands-on Halo 2 article in the latest issue (out to subscribers now, on newsstand shelves later this week), as well as an interview with Pete Parsons. A summary of what's in the article can be found in his forum post; looks to be definitely worth a read. If you have access to a newsstand selling this magazine, go grab a copy!

More Dew Goodness
Last week, Bill Daiber, one of the Mountain Dew contest winners, wrote up some of his experience at Bungie's offices, with respect to Halo 2 gameplay. He'd left some of the writeup out, however - it was vacation time. We've posted it now. Vehicles, Sound, Glitches - go read about it! (Notice the 'already fixed' comments in the glitches section, however, and remember he got to play an older build.) (Louis Wu 10:06:19 UTC) (permalink)
Realism and Gamers
The Junkyard has posted an article on the realism of Halo, and how this affects gameplay, in which an 8-year veteran of the US Marine Corps gives his opinions about some of the choices made in the game. Interesting concept... (Louis Wu 09:55:10 UTC) (permalink)
