More Maralogo artwork
Brian Haworth sent in pics of a keychain fobs he made recently - it measures about an inch across, and is made from blue and yellow translucent acrylic, with a piece of 1/16" polycarbonate sandwiched between to hold them together. (yellow side | blue side) He made a similar, but much larger, version for his girlfriend last fall - that one is 5 inches across, and she keeps it in a display stand on her dresser. (No pics, sorry.)

MLG Content Summary
3Suns came back from vacation to the realization that we hadn't mentioned news on the MLGPro website since he left. (A lot of the time, we rely on you, the fans, to point out where the interesting stuff is - we just provide a one-stop shop for finding it.) There's quite a lot - there's an article about pros switching around to different teams, a retrospective of Storm Ventures' recovery, an interview with ShooK On3 Gaming, a pro gamer's predictions about MLG Orlando, a preview of MLG Orlando, a spotlight on Scion Player of the Year nominee Ramby, and an overview of the standings going into MLG Orlando. That should keep you busy! (Louis Wu 17:42:59 UTC) (permalink)
Details, Details...
Just a small thing... Psychophan7 noticed a tiny detail about the recently released Halo 2 Vista screenshots; there's been a change in the motion sensor. Other players still show up in red, or yellow, depending on whether they're friend or foe... but now there's also a directional aspect to the symbol. Again - a small thing, but a good example of the level of detail and care taken by the Halo 2 Vista team. Pretty cool! Update: Chris Butcher clarified that the Xbox version was SUPPOSED to work this way, as well - but the pixel shader responsible for the motion sensor blip motion broke before release, and never got fixed. Apparently, LOTS of little bugs like this have been fixed. (Louis Wu 14:16:26 UTC) (permalink)
WikiRiot Ep 13
Sigafoos points out that WikiRiot Episode 13 is up - 35 mins, 14 mb. Minimal Halo content, because of technical difficulties... such is life sometimes. (Louis Wu 13:21:51 UTC) (permalink)
Less Bewildered than they Seem
The Bungie Weekly Update is posted - info about PAX (a cool gaming expo happening right now in Seattle which would have been cooler had I been able to go), info from SketchFactor about Leipzig, and the demo of Halo 2 Vista there, and more teasers about Halo 3 (Frankie is a master at describing things without telling you ANYTHING). Oh, yeah... and a truly disgusting picture. I feel cheated that last week's Mister Chief, created by Pinkuh, didn't make a showing. Read it at Bungie.net, or read it in our Weekly Update Archive.
