Definitely Addiction.
Joystiq has a 'Five reasons why Halo 2 is #1' list - a solid list, I think. Go see if you agree! Thanks, Dt7. (Louis Wu 21:55:03 UTC) (permalink)
Quit While You're Ahead
The Squadron, Episode 13, has been released for the public - Durge continues to be bested by the humans, but the tides might be turning. You can grab the WMP9 version from Broken Console's site (11.2 mb, 4:55) or the QuickTime version from us (11.3 mb). (Louis Wu 21:29:41 UTC) (permalink)
Mash.
So there are some button combinations that can give you a leg up on the competition in Halo 2 multiplayer... but what happens when you get 'em wrong? Stuntmutt speculates in today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 15:30:55 UTC) (permalink)
Harrison Ford and Regurgitation
Jillybean has taken a whack at the overgrown forest that is the Halo Story Page mailbag - you'll find her latest prunings on the Story Page. (Louis Wu 14:51:33 UTC) (permalink)
H20 Updated
LunarShadow points out that the H2O Stats Reader has a new version out (1.2.0) - a bunch of new features are available (check the changelog for details). Looks nice! (Louis Wu 14:38:59 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Zero - it's THAT popular.
Wow, this is rather... strange, if you ask me. If you visit the front page of Gamespot, in the bottom left corner, you'll find a list of the Most Popular Games, presumably based on traffic to various Gamespot pages. Number 10 on the overall list is Halo Zero, a fan-made sidescroller we mentioned last week. If you look at just the currently available games, it jumps up to number 6. That blows me away - it's a fan-made sidescroller, in the middle of the Christmas season. Have you played it yet? (Thanks to LoneRanger 2.5 for noticing.) (Louis Wu 14:35:20 UTC) (permalink)
Sneaking In
Red vs Blue Episode 70, 'Sneaking In', was posted last night for sponsors. (Yes, that means it'll be out in the next day or two for everyone else - you don't need to send us mail when it happens.) Tex rocks (yeah, surprise), and she puts a lie to the 'the SMG is the wimpiest weapon ever' argument. And Church rocks, too (though I don't think he's quite as good with SMGs). This whole season continues to reach new levels of funni - I'm loving it. Looks like DirePhoenix was first with the heads-up. (Louis Wu 14:25:21 UTC) (permalink)
MLG Chicago Results
Team3D dominated as a team again at MLG Chicago - they won the 4v4 finals, though only one of their members placed in the top 4 in the 1v1 event. Threads were started on our forum by 3Suns (1v1 and 4v4), and there's a bit more info at Team3D.net, as well. (Louis Wu 14:13:40 UTC) (permalink)
MLG through the eyes of a non-pro
Toby Dillman went to MLG Chicago this weekend - and took a bunch of pics. Go read his writeup! Interesting to see the tourney from the viewpoint of someone who doesn't do this for a living. (Louis Wu 14:04:02 UTC) (permalink)
A New Beginning
Oliver Stopienski has released "The Halo Revolutions - A New Beginning" - a HUGE (320 MB, 16 minutes) amalgam of styles - mostly, it's a montage vid (alternately showing the usual stuff like no-scopes and sticks and griping about lag issues), but there's also a mini-chapter of his ongoing machinima project in the middle. Encoding seems to be DivX5 - but I can't be sure; I've only got one player that will even SHOW this vid, and it doesn't tell me much about the video stream. You can find it on the Halo Orbit downloads page (it's the third vid from the top). If you've got a large pipe and up-to-date players, go watch! (Louis Wu 14:01:16 UTC) (permalink)
