Halo 2 tourney in Carlisle, PA
Jessica Thomas posted a note on our forum about an upcoming Tournament in Carlisle, PA - give it a read if you're in the area on February 25! (Louis Wu 18:28:58 UTC) (permalink)
It was a dark and starry night.
More fun modded shots from Dojorkan - this time, it's New Mombassa... at night. Slick! (Louis Wu 17:57:01 UTC) (permalink)
Up, Up, and Away
Ducain dropped me an email last night about a new vid that showed up on High Impact Halo's forum recently - and he was right, it was pretty amazing. This has got to be one of the highest grenade-assisted jumps... ever. (It's so high that the jumper's shield begins to recharge before he reaches the top... that's absurd.) Go read Duke's writeup, download the vid. (Video quality is not really high to begin with - but if you're having trouble with the WMP9, I've put up a QuickTime (16.3 mb), just for fun.)

Heroes and Heretics Trailer
A new movie passed the MPRRS yesterday - and while it's just a trailer to whet your appetite for the upcoming season... it looks great. (One of the reasons it looks great is that it SOUNDS great -the voice acting is top-notch. For all the machinima creators who say "well, ours is good enough" or "whatever"... you really need to understand that the difference between good machinima and great machinima is often the quality of the voice acting.) Grab a copy of the Heroes & Heretics trailer in WMP9 format (21.5 mb) or QuickTime format (21.6 mb) from our servers... and bug the creators (Slacker Entertainment) for more eps!

The left hand, and the right hand...
I'm posting this because I'm positive our mailbox will be flooded with references to it if I don't... but the standard disclaimers apply. Joystiq has put up a note about some videos available on Microsoft's online training site for retail employees, discussing the roadmap for promotion of the Xbox 360 over the next three years. One of the discussions between MS VP Bill Brownell and others involves "fending off Sony and "those other guys" with Halo 3 in year two" - so while Halo 3 has still not been announced by Bungie as being in development, MS brass are telling retailers that it will be out in 'year two' (which means anytime between November 2006 and November 2007). Our stance is the same as it's always been - until BUNGIE says it's coming, it's a rumor. Period. (Louis Wu 17:15:08 UTC) (permalink)
