After 4 years, Halo's still in the lineup
Three years ago, IGN started a Top 100 Games of all time list (updated annually, of course) - Halo came in 39th. The following year, IGN let the readers decide - Halo and Halo 2 placed 18th and 19th, respectively, on the list. In 2005, it was back to the editors - Halo placed 30th, Halo 2 wasn't even on the list. (Ouch!) A week or so ago, they started listing this year's winners (thanks, Brian O'Sullivan) - it wasn't until Thursday that the full standings of the Halo franchise were known. (This year, Halo placed 14th, and Halo 2 placed 25th.) You really gotta wonder how much of this is darts on a dartboard... and how much is careful analysis. Thanks to HaloPlanet for reminding me to revisit the top 100 site. (Louis Wu 20:22:12 UTC) (permalink)

Terminal Dogs - Redux
A couple of weeks ago, we mentioned the machinima project 'Terminal Dogs' - it was being hosted on machinima.com and YouTube. I guess Krad Productions wanted to widen the viewership, because they submitted the film to the MPRRS - and the reviewers liked it. We're hosting a WMP9 version (24.7 mb) and a QuickTime version (23.3 mb). Once again - this is a couple of scenes from the fantastic movie 'Reservoir Dogs', recreated in Halo.

Hello, Juneau!
Over at Red vs Blue, there's a new Public Service Announcement - this one's called 'Planning to Fail', and it discusses what you might do when zombies take over the earth. Currently for sponsors-only, but it should be available for the masses by the end of the weekend. Thanks to darthbob for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:10:30 UTC) (permalink)
