The Retail Game
Wow. If you're a gamer (at least in the US, but likely this stuff holds true worldwide), you owe it to yourself to read this series of articles. Not specifically Halo-related... but definitely eye-opening. Thanks, Deanero. (Louis Wu 21:06:07 UTC) (permalink)
This Spartan Life: Body Count
After some server downtime, This Spartan Life is back with Body Count. Environmental debate - with guns. Man... if more debates were conducted this way, at the very least we'd have fewer windbags to listen to! Funny stuff. QuickTime format, 20.8 mb. (Louis Wu 20:47:54 UTC) (permalink)
Stream of consciousness, indeed.
Amir wanted to point out his blogged review of Halo vs Halo 2 - the more you read, the more you'll see how conflicted he really is. ("I like Halo 2 better - but man, I hated X. And Y. And god, Z was AWFUL! And A, B, and C about Halo really rocked. But I like Halo 2 better." etc) (Louis Wu 20:44:01 UTC) (permalink)
PSP-compatible content at halomachinima.com
trigger119 had to leave for a while - but he's put up a bunch of content on halomachinima.com that might interest you:
- WMP9 and PSP-compatible versions of Bunker27Goose's Used Car Salesmen, a Real Men of Genius spoof
- Outpost Coagulation, for PSP (as well as WMP9 and QT, which were always there)
- Stryke Force for PSP
Go look! (Louis Wu 20:37:56 UTC) (permalink)
Big Bawls LAN
This weekend (GT)Juggler hosted a lanfest about 40 miles from here. I couldn't make it - which saddens me, because according to KP, it was a lot of fun. Juggler just posted a bunch of pics - take a look! (Louis Wu 18:25:26 UTC) (permalink)
Off The Shelf.
Stuntmutt must have been driving with KP recently - check out today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 14:50:15 UTC) (permalink)
You're Fired
Cybrfrk found a short film over at Machinima.com, entitled 'You're Fired'. According to the film itself, it was made by the Sponsors vs Freeloaders team, but it's credited to Panda Productions on the Machinima.com page. In any case, it's what happens when Sims 2 and Halo come together in a film... Update: Just got mail from Amanda Stanley, the brains behind Panda Productions - it seems she's engaged to Sevenar, from SvF (congrats, both of you!), which explains the co-working. It's her film, though. (Louis Wu 14:16:57 UTC) (permalink)
Monday Reading
Just six pieces for you today in the Fan Fiction section - go give 'em a read! (Louis Wu 13:59:36 UTC) (permalink)
CPL Summer Event footage at GT
3Suns points out some CPL footage available at Gametrailers.com - there's a general clip (with a small amount of Halo footage) and a Halo-specific clip, both from the CPL Summer Event which took place about a month ago in Dallas. Team 3D and Team Exigen (first and second place winners, respectively) talk a little bit about what helped and what didn't. (Louis Wu 13:49:26 UTC) (permalink)
DG says hold off a few weeks
Daily Game has reviewed the Multiplayer Map Pack - and found it wanting. "Plenty of fun, but you're better off waiting for them to become freebies." Read the whole review for details. (Hehe - they can say this - they're PLAYING the maps right now.) (Louis Wu 11:20:29 UTC) (permalink)
Halo vs Halo 2 - again
[HC]D-Man found a 3-page editorial in the July issue of a magazine called GVGames - it can be downloaded in PDF format (the editorial begins on page 41), or read online. There's nothing really new here - it's a not-very-professional rant about how Halo 2 sucks and Halo was the best game ever. If you've spent any time on our forum (or any Halo forum, for that matter) - you've heard this rant, sometimes more eloquently put. What intrigues me is that it shows up in this form in a magazine...

Dymdez's Montage II
Saturday morning, we got email from Z, at halo2forum.com, that Dymdez's Montage II had been released, along with a request for submission to the Movie Peer Review Rating System. It took about 36 hours for the movie to work through the system - in what might be a first, it didn't receive a single score below passing. Go watch some fantastic montage footage! 44.7 mb, in DivX format. (Louis Wu 10:10:22 UTC) (permalink)
