Team3D on Up-Close Strats
FI3ND and OGRE1 teamed up to bring you a 'noob guide' to up-close strategies - worth reading, no matter what your level! Check it out. (Louis Wu 20:16:30 UTC) (permalink)
Be The Zombie.
Hehe - there are three new commercial spots, running Sunday and Monday on the Sci-Fi Channel, for Stubbs the Zombie... but if you don't want to wait, they've been put up in the Stubbs the Zombie website Gallery. Funny stuff! (Louis Wu 18:18:17 UTC) (permalink)
Save the seeds. Dispose of the rest.
Wow. The deadline for entries to our 343 Guilt O' Lantern contest is coming up fast (just 3 and a half days left)... and we've got two brand-new prizes to toss on the pile! Both Steve Downes, voice of the Master Chief, and Tim Dadabo, voice of 343 Guilty Spark, have agreed to contribute the recording of a message on your answering machine (or your cell phone's voicemail, or whatever you choose); the first place pumpkin will get their choice of actors, the second place pumpkin will get the other one. Wouldn't you like the Master Chief telling your callers "I need a message."? (The message itself is completely up to you. They'll just bring it to life.) Tacked on top of an Xbox, and EB Games gift cards, and an I Love Bees DVD... if you're not carving a pumpkin, you're tossing away your chance at some awesome prizes.

A Stubbs development post-mortem, of sorts
Over at Wideloadgames.org, the second half of the Glenda Adams interview has been posted. (We mentioned part 1 last week.) Lots of good technical info on why some of the choices that got made went the way they did; I find it amusing that PC retailers are STILL unwilling to go with a DVD-only SKU, even when the game itself requires a top-end, brand-new video card and other hefty hardware requirements. (How many of you have bought a high-end PC in the last year or so that DIDN'T have a DVD drive in it?) A good read - if you've got the hardware, this game looks to be pretty slick on a PC or Mac! And for those unhappy with what ISN'T shipping in the PC versions, take heart in this comment:
We have a lot of things (including co-op) we'd like to put into updates after we ship, so Stubbs PC/Mac will definitely not be a game that is released and forgotten.
Thanks to the Battle Cat for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 14:34:16 UTC) (permalink)
It'll Be His Helmet Next.
Stuntmutt continues to obsess about Spartan 458 in today's One One Se7en. I wanted to high-five Cortana at the end of this one. (Louis Wu 14:21:21 UTC) (permalink)
Friday Fanfic
Wow. I looked on Wednesday, and there were only 3 stories in the Fan Fiction queue. This morning... there were 17. Busy Thursday, I guess! Go read. (Louis Wu 14:11:59 UTC) (permalink)
Are you going to the Mackies?
The official film selections for the 2005 Machinima Film Festival were posted yesterday - and nominations for the awards themselves went up on Wednesday. There are a LOT of familiar names in there... on both lists. Go check 'em out! The Awards Ceremony will be held in Astoria, NY on November 12 - good luck to all! Thanks to Z for the heads-up.

Yesterday was a busy day
A couple of bits of site news... the forum thread started yesterday, discussing the merits of keeping the original voice actors for many of the Halo roles, has garnered quite a bit of attention (including some from a couple of the voice actors themselves); the thread is almost 200 posts long, and a large percentage are on-topic. Most respondents (though not all) seem to want Master Chief's helmet to stay on... and most respondents (though, again, not all) want the original voice actors to reenact their roles in the movie. Have you made YOUR opinion known? And the Blow Me Away auction, now just 19 hours old, has already collected more than 60,000 pageviews and more than $5500 in bids. You guys ROCK!
