Release Night in Erie, PA
Team Sexy put together a 15-minute-long Halo 2 opening night coverage video (talking to folks waiting for the game, and so on) - they've been held up on release because of some bandwidth issues, but have decided not to wait any longer anyway. They've got a 5 gb/day limit for downloads - for a 70 mb film like this one, that means about 70 folks will be able to grab this each day before they run out. They're looking for mirrors, so let 'em know if you can help. Update: And once again, the community comes to the rescue. New mirror already from Ducain, and a BitTorrent seed from Nirvana (which doesn't seem to be accessible at the moment, but be patient). Thanks, folks! Update 2: It's now mirrored at Sector 7, as well. (Louis Wu 18:30:13 UTC) (permalink)
Sarge - full upper-body coverage
Red vs Blue has added a new hoodie to their store - a Sarge hoodie, red and everything. It's nowhere as cool as the olive Sarge T I bought from the now-defunct w00twear that Gus ran until the server blew up... but it's warmer than the similarly-colored Sarge T that the RvB store sells, so it's a great buy for winter. Heads-up kudos to HaloPlanet. (Louis Wu 16:57:39 UTC) (permalink)
Misunderstood and over-blamed
Over at Rampancy.net, the Halo 2 Impressions series continues with a look at The Arbiter. There's the requisite look at the level itself - but also a look at the shift in game focus at this point, and how it may or may not affect you. As always, thoughtful and well-written.

Bob the Engineer
Yaksha posted a small (3.1 mb) film on our forum, a trailer for ano upcoming machinima called 'Bob the Engineer'. It's 1:28 long, in WMP9 format. I'm not sure how long his bandwidth will hold out, so we've provided mirrors - for the original file and a QuickTime version (3.9 mb). (Louis Wu 16:24:45 UTC) (permalink)
Back - with RPGs
Wow... I'd spent the entire day on a plane yesterday, and the evening with my family; I figured when I got in this morning, I'd be swamped with stuff to post... but the mailbox was almost empty! I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing... but let's start going through what IS here, because it looks like there's a bunch of house stuff I need to get to today, as well. First up: The7thWar is working on Halo: The RPG, several months into production, but still a long way to go. There's a 'press release' on our forum with some more info - if you've got questions, add 'em to the thread. (Louis Wu 16:17:34 UTC) (permalink)
