UK LAN event in February
Yayap the Grunt pointed out yet ANOTHER event - this one isn't a tourney, it's a LANfest, in Wales - but there's a door fee (it's held in a commercial venue). There'll be several games; Halo is one. Check out the details on the Frag Fest Wales page. (Louis Wu 13:26:14 UTC) (permalink)
Sponsored by Poor Mel
The Red vs Blue team (well, okay, the COOL part of the team) is back from the Sundance Film Festival, and they've posted a video they put together for the Festival. 2 minutes of hilarity. It's available for sponsors now, and will be up for the public in a few days. Go watch! Thanks, Black Six. (Louis Wu 12:46:39 UTC) (permalink)
Introduction to Destruction
Funky vid posted to our forum last night... Mintz08, from www.Echo-413.com, took some filler from a Sum 41 album and put video to it. There are two versions; large is just under 7 mb, small is under 2. Here's hoping the bandwidth holds out! (Louis Wu 12:02:53 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 clips: now at 594, total
Thanks to thesaelens, for another 29 dialogue snippets for our Halo 2 Dialogue Databank. (There's also one in there from Captain Spark, posted on our forum a couple of days ago.) Go listen! (Louis Wu 11:52:57 UTC) (permalink)
4v4 tourney in Iowa
Matt Hamilton wrote to us about an upcoming Halo tourney to be held on Saturday, February 26 on the campus of Iowa State University. 4v4, hosted by the Uni's Halo club (ub3r-l33t), $20/team, with money split between prizes and tsunami relief. More info can be found on their web page. Update: While we're talking about tourneys... there's one in Sydney, Australia, hosted by AussieXbox, Spe6tre, and the David Peachey Foundation, coming up on February 12. A bit of information can be found in this forum post, but for the rest, you'll have to register. 4v4, $50/team, 100% of the takings to go to tsunami relief. There's $10,000 in prizes being provided by sponsors. Thanks, Octavian Augustus. (Louis Wu 11:08:31 UTC) (permalink)
Sunday Reading
Fifteen new pieces for you up in the Fan Fiction section today... go see what you can find! It's a bit early here to curl up in front of a fire... but it sure is cold enough. (Louis Wu 11:03:07 UTC) (permalink)
Links update
Just wanted to give folks a heads-up... there are a number of sites that have been submitted to our Links page that I've left in the queue - they're all on Freewebs, which seems to be down at the moment. I haven't deleted the submissions; they're just on hold until we can actually see the pages. (Louis Wu 10:56:24 UTC) (permalink)
After War 11
Red Leader let us know that After War, a Halo comic hosted at Black Art Studios, is back on track after a short hiatus (Kevin apparently got sucked in by Half-Life 2). Episode 11 has been posted. Chief and the Arbiter... mano a mano. (Louis Wu 10:47:32 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Revisited
Joe Hopkinson sent us a link to a Flash vid he's put up at Newgrounds. There's not much to the story... but the artwork's pretty fun. It's less than a meg... go watch! (Louis Wu 10:41:17 UTC) (permalink)
Music for Pretty Vids
Each time David Galindo releases a Halo vid, forum threads pop up, asking what music he used. Dan Downs pointed out that David's put up a page on his website that contains a comprehensive list. Go visit if you were curious where you heard that tune before... (Louis Wu 10:36:34 UTC) (permalink)
Stats apps recap
Cubedog reminded us that even though they were discussed at length on our forum, we neglected to post the list of winners of the Flash Stats contest held by Mike Chambers of Macromedia a couple of months ago. Oops. Now we have. (Louis Wu 10:31:55 UTC) (permalink)
