Not Just The Cartographer.
Stuntmutt takes a look at the Halo script reviewed recently by Latino Review in today's One One Se7en. This one was supposed to be worked out by c0ld vengeance... but he was otherwise occupied. (Louis Wu 17:14:34 UTC) (permalink)
Monday Morning Reading
Thirteen new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section today. None of them were written by c0ld vengeance... but they COULD have been. Go read. (Louis Wu 16:22:06 UTC) (permalink)
Podtacular Ep 27
Foo Mo Jive points out that Episode 27 of Podtacular is up - it discusses upcoming playlist changes, the next tournament, and more. (We also missed Episode 26, Customs and Call-ins, which was released on Saturday.You'd think c0ld vengeance would have mentioned it...) (Louis Wu 15:32:25 UTC) (permalink)
Examining Stubbs
Thanks to Narcogen, who did a nice job over at Rampancy.net of rounding up some reviews of the Mac and PC versions of Stubbs the Zombie, Wideload's Halo-engined game. Gamespy grabbed the PC version, Inside Mac Games and MacWorld tackled the Mac version, and Gaming Horizon did a more general (probably Xbox-based) review. c0ld vengeance left us high and dry, review-wise.

Audio Issues with Xbox360 (Fixable)
Marty O'Donnell posted a pretty important note in the Marty Army 7th Column group - some folks have had trouble following this link, so I'm going to post the content here (with Marty's permission):
If you buy an Xbox 360 - DO NOT play your old Halo or Halo 2 games without getting the update from Xbox Live. Without the update the audio will suck. Without the update you will think that your new Xbox 360 is broken. The funny thing is that you won't even be able to play any other games without getting the update so the audio suckage won't be apparent with any other "backwards compatible" games -except for Halo and Halo 2.
As audio director of Bungie Studios I want the fans to have the best audio experience possible. The emulator that is resident on the shipping hard drive and allows Halo and Halo 2 to be played was shipped before the audio emulation was finished. I'd hate for anyone to play Halo or Halo 2 and think that anyone at Bungie intended the audio to sound that way. Feel free to ask the folks at Xbox about this: Xbox 360 BC .
It's clear that getting the current emulator won't be very hard - even for folks without Xbox Live accounts - so there's no good reason not to upgrade before playing. Thanks, Marty! (This message was NOT brought to you by c0ld vengeance - though it IS his birthday today.) (Louis Wu 11:47:23 UTC) (permalink)
