Your one-stop tourney stop
We got a note from Victor - X-Tournaments is back after a long vacation, and is now acting a a hub for all Halo tournament activity across the US. More and more info will be coming online in the near future - if you want to know where the nearest tourney is going to be, stop by! (Louis Wu 20:38:57 UTC) (permalink)
Mythbusterz - Episode 1
Continuing with the recent spate of MPRRS-passed vids: freejack905, of the Necrosis Clan, submitted 'Mythbusterz - Episode 1', a remake of an episode of the Discovery Channel show on driving while impaired. Nice linkup of existing audio to Halo footage! Grab it in WMP9 format (30 mb) or QuickTime format (31.4 mb). (Louis Wu 16:06:11 UTC) (permalink)
Iconoclast.
Is that an icon in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? Today's One One Se7en points out a Bungie oversight... sort of. (Louis Wu 15:20:46 UTC) (permalink)
When Worlds Collide
SSGT Cutter points out that yesterday's DOOM Toons (a comic based on DOOM, hosted at PlanetDOOM) has a cameo by the Master Chief. Not sure I get it... but there you are. (Louis Wu 14:45:24 UTC) (permalink)
Weapons Respawn Times - a Cornucopia!
Interesting. Yesterday, we got email from bluestrike2 - it contained a very pretty PDF (159K) with all the respawn times of all the weapons on the Halo 2 maps (minus grenades and vehicles. Then, not 7 hours later, we got email from Typher, who's contributed to our online version of this content in the past - with this information (including grenades this time) for the five new maps. Download, or online - your choice! (Compare 'em - they're pretty close, though I did notice some differences.) (Louis Wu 14:39:47 UTC) (permalink)
Boogity Boo.
gigiskapoo pointed out a rather strange Flash animation at DeviantArt... well, go watch. (Louis Wu 13:27:20 UTC) (permalink)
This floating orb is wonderful!
Tim Dadabo might be best known to Halo fans as the voice of 343 Guilty Spark - but he's done quite a bit more voice work than that, in the Halo games and beyond. He's got a new website online... and there's a pretty hilarious montage of his game character voices, with Spark talking to Leisure Suit Larry, Corporal Perez, and a host of other folks (just follow the 'Games' link). Look around! (Louis Wu 13:21:55 UTC) (permalink)
Warthog Exploration
TeamXbox has put up a series of videos showing Warthog Jumping on the new maps - nothing that a regular visitor to High Impact Halo hasn't seen, but pretty interesting for a high-traffic general Xbox site! Watching hogs get toasted by Terminal's train hasn't gotten old yet... WMP9 format, 15-30 mb each. (Louis Wu 13:12:18 UTC) (permalink)
The Hits of the Pixellated World
The BBC has put up an article on Video Games Live, the concert series playing video game music - with audio clips from Halo, Mario, and Tomb Raider. Good stuff! Thanks, Mr Danger. (Louis Wu 13:02:32 UTC) (permalink)
