Dang... we only got basketballs.
Today's Calvin and Halo shows me what I missed in grade school... I guess it's just as well. (Louis Wu 22:54:04 UTC) (permalink)
A Crack Team of Monkeys
Hehe - looks like the Bungie Boyz managed to find a team they could beat. This week's Halo Humpday Challenge was against Tips & Tricks Magazine... and the final score was 3-0, Bungie. (The first two games were relatively close, however.) You gotta wonder a little about the fable... go read. (Louis Wu 22:44:26 UTC) (permalink)
X-Play gives Halo 2 the nod
WhitebeardedGnu pointed out that G4TechTV's X-Play had their 'Best of 2004' episode on last night (next showing is today, 4pm ET/1pm PT). Halo 2 was nominated for Best Shooter and Best Game of 2004; it lost the Shooter award to Half-Life 2, but won the Best Game award. Nice! (Louis Wu 16:38:27 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 - best ad of the year
Gamespot readers were asked to pick the best commercials of 2004 - results came out today. According to this Business Wire article, the Halo 2 ad from last fall was the overall Commercial of the Year. Kudos to ICDedPpl, who found it at Yahoo Finance before Google found the Business Wire article. (Louis Wu 15:26:48 UTC) (permalink)
More time for art entries
In early December, SEspider kicked off a Miniature Halo art contest - deadline was January 31. He's just extended it a month, because there haven't been that many entries. Go check out the rules, and the prizes, and get to work! (Louis Wu 14:59:23 UTC) (permalink)
Gamestyle looks at Halo 2 MP
Gamestyle has put up a Halo 2 review - or at least the online portion of it. They gave it a 10/10. Thanks, Garry Webber. (Louis Wu 14:36:43 UTC) (permalink)
Blue Fire - back up
A few days ago, we mentioned a 'Halo 2 Montage' by WaLKa - but the bandwidth ran out pretty quickly. A number of people on our forum were hoping someone would rehost this; we're pretty tight on bandwidth this month, so we couldn't put it up for you. However, the community has come to the rescue once again. GloryFish, a fan who wanted to give back, offered a monthly chunk of bandwidth for the cause - so we're putting this vid back online, if you haven't seen it. One thing that sets it apart from other vids of its type; the competition is predominantly professional. Check out some of the names in the 'You sniped __' and 'You stuck __' text... you might recognize them from reports of national Halo tourneys. This vid is 24.7 mb zipped (that's how WaLKa served it), in WMP9 format. Thanks again to GloryFish for the hosting! (Louis Wu 14:29:14 UTC) (permalink)
