He's Sorry. Really.
Last night, the MPRRS failed - by a tiny margin - a submission by our own Cybrfrk. (I think they penalized him for lack of vowels.) I watched the film... and it was silly. Silly enough to make me laugh. I have a soft spot in my heart for the song that makes up the majority of its soundtrack. You can grab it in WMP9 format (10.7 mb) or QuickTime format (10.8 mb). And if you find it silly, too... good. Update: Looks like Cybrfrk had planned to resubmit this, incorporating the feedback of the reviewers. (Whoa - surprise... the guy who RUNS the section actually believes in the ideas behind it!) My bad - he's going to have a fixed version up soon. We'll swap it in for this (and make a note of the swap) when he's done. Update 2: Links are back up - sorry for the delay! (Louis Wu 19:29:04 UTC) (permalink)
Spawn till you die. (Wait, that's salmon.)
XerxdeeJ has updated his Tied the Leader blog again, this time with a look at sportsmanship, and what it means. Interesting questions - ones that come up quite a lot in post-game lobbies, mixed in with words like 'cheap' and 'camper'... but are the complainers justified... or are they just scrubs?

Ol Man Makowski's M4 Trailer
Z, over at Halo2Forum.com, pointed out a new trailer from Ol Man Makowski - great editing. It's only 16 mb (WMP9 format) - go grab a copy! (Louis Wu 16:32:28 UTC) (permalink)
First Contact: HL2 mod of Fall of Reach
Jay M posted a note on our forum last night - he's working on a total conversion for Half-Life 2, based on the Fall of Reach novel. Quite a bit of planning has gone into this - read the design document in his post to see where they want to go with it. They're looking for help; if you're interested, contact info is all laid out for you! (Louis Wu 16:01:25 UTC) (permalink)
When a dozen enemies just aren't enough.
Rockslider continues to refine his spiral path megabattle on Assault on the Control Room - the current writeup explains how to get 50+ enemies to fight at once, consistently! Check out the link in his post. (Louis Wu 15:52:35 UTC) (permalink)
First. In more ways than one.
Last night, there was a 'rematch' between HBO and Bungie, to make up for last week's... um, matchup. I've written up a forum post which explains what happened - we definitely got toasted last week, but it was more on the web than it was on XBL. Things were a little... different this week. KP posted links to the games as soon as they were over, and this morning I wrote the wrapup mentioned above. I can't wait to see the Frankie Spin on B.net. (Louis Wu 15:38:28 UTC) (permalink)
A Slice of Mango (just a little drippy)
Ack! Pete Parsons, Bungie's Studio Manager for the last 3 years (and a little), is retiring. It's probably just as well, once folks get a look at the picture that graces his farewell interview at Bungie.net... go read, and get a sense of who this guy is, just before he takes his spectabulous marketing skills off into the sunset (but cover your eyes at the picture). Pete - we're gonna miss ya. (Louis Wu 00:49:26 UTC) (permalink)
