2old2type podcast ep 3 DSmooth writes to let us know that 2old2play.com's 3rd weekly podcast episode is available for downloading - in two versions (one with the pg-rated words bleeped). 36-38 mb, depending on rating. The Halo 2 content includes a discussion of upcoming maps. Go listen! (Louis Wu 18:40:02 UTC) (permalink) 
Master Hot Stepper Jamie Noguchi's brother works for Bungie. Jamie writes a comic called Angry Zen Master. Jamie's latest strip takes a calculated, insider look at Bungie's latest doings - go read. And if you're disappointed that the secret's out... blame Jamie's brother Mat. That guy just can't keep his mouth shut. (Thanks, mnemesis.) (Louis Wu 18:00:02 UTC) (permalink) 
Noobs, Experts, and In Between - redux Last month, we posted a short trailer for 'Noobs, Experts, and In Between' - it hadn't passed the MPRRS, but I liked it, and it had been close. The creator has redone it a bit, and this time it DID pass - so we're hosting ANOTHER copy. 1:16 long, 4.3 mb in WMP9 format, or 4.1 mb in QuickTime format. Enjoy!

Lost Time Playfeed wrote a review of Halo 2 that starts with "Last week I found Halo 2 in a Limited Collectors Edition tin a pawn show for $15 bucks..." - what blew the reviewer away was how much fun the game actually was. He admits that he ridiculed the game when it came out, entirely because of the massive hype... but he now regrets that. Interesting! (Louis Wu 12:48:08 UTC) (permalink) 
Sanctuary and Turf, in living color Two more of the high-quality flythrough trailers, commissioned by Microsoft, have been released - Gametrailers.com has both HD (640x472) and regular (480x360) sizes, in both WMP9 and QuickTime, while TeamXbox has 640x480 WMP9 versions. The Turf film, in particular, is a fantastic example of how to marry audio to video, even without 'action'. Thanks to all who let us know - 3Suns was first. Update: These are available for Gamespot Complete members, as well, over at Gamespot. (No streaming versions yet.) Thanks, Kliend. If you want streaming, head over to IGN. Update 2: Both Sanctuary and Turf are also available, in the 640x480 WMP9 versions, at CANOE. (Louis Wu 12:34:21 UTC) (permalink)
