Charcoal
ÜberChief points out that the newest issue of Resolute is up - if only the MC was that damage-resistant in the game we play! (Louis Wu 19:14:56 UTC) (permalink)
Big Boys and Wicker Baskets
ChairLeg Productions continues with their Nephrons series; 'Nephrons - Minus Four' passed the MPRRS last night. Hugh is still insane, Mike is still in prison, the Blues are still better at insulting than the Reds. The reviewers liked the quality, the jokes (except for one reviewer, who found it 'quite boring' but passed it anyway), and the plot (except for those who didn't get it). British humor, you know. Or humour. Or something. Available in WMP9 (38.3 mb) or QuickTime (36.7 mb). (Louis Wu 12:37:37 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Tourney in Philadelphia area
pkrut sent us email about a Halo 2 tourney at CyberZone, in the Neshamiy mall near Philadelphia. It's 2v2 slayer, MLG Rules. Entrance fee is $30/team. I couldn't find any info on prizes. There's no age requirement - the only caveat is... it's today. Get on down! Update: Oops - the tourney is tomorrow, Sunday, the fourth. Sorry about that. (Louis Wu 12:14:33 UTC) (permalink)
The Robots Need Oil
Over on GotFrag, there's a story on Team 3D, and how they're dealing with their surprising loss to TmG in Philadelphia. Sounds like they're looking forward to MLG Atlanta, coming at the end of this month, where they'll get a chance to face these rivals again! Thanks, James Schneider.

Dying for a Cause
A few days ago, we mentioned one fan's plan to raise some cash for Katrina victims - BoneKin was going to give one dollar for each kill he got in a series of 7 games (with a minimum of $117) to the Red Cross. Those games were played, on schedule, last night, and Mintz was kind enough to summarize the results - BoneKin will be sending $139 down! (There's a movie coming at some point, too.) Nice work! Update: There's another post on our forum about disaster relief opportunities, this one from Max Power - it looks like EB Games has agreed to match donations made through their stores (to a maximum of $50,000 companywide) - drop off $10, $20 heads to the Red Cross! Cool. Update 2: We've heard from a fan auctioning a Dell LCD monitor on eBay - 100% of the final sales price will go to the Red Cross. We may have to start a Katrina-only news page if this keeps up... (Louis Wu 11:16:39 UTC) (permalink)
