TTL - more than just a pretty gun
It's Tied the Leader Tuesday! That means XerxdeeJ stops by our forum to point out all the cool new stuff you can find at TTL this week. This week contains a 22 Questions interview with Dolbex (who'da thunk he wanted to be a tour guide?), a clan profile of the Halo2Junkies (stats rule), and a very cool announcement of the launching of the Tied the Leader Foundation; 30% of the proceeds of store sales (and 100% of direct charitable contributions) collected by the Foundation will be "donated to organizations that insure fighting men and women who are wounded in action receive the extra help they need in rehabilitating themselves to a fruitful and productive life once they return stateside." Nice! Get to buying! (If only their Baseball T's came in XXL...) (Louis Wu 16:47:49 UTC) (permalink)
JB Halo - 2D Sidescroller
Mukelo, from Invalid Mob, wrote to point out a new 2D scroller created by allbowdown, and downloadable from their site. Has features like weapons zoom, grenades, and sword lunging. Executable for Windows - 2.5 mb, go grab a copy. (Louis Wu 15:57:54 UTC) (permalink)
Making it all happen
IGN did a one-year retrospective on the Xbox 360 - high and low points of its first year, as well as a look at what's coming. Halo gets a number of mentions, as you might expect. Thanks, Grey Wolf. (Louis Wu 15:53:53 UTC) (permalink)
Halomega wants an intro
Wow, seems like the 'offer some cash for video content' idea is getting around - Halomega is running a contest to produce a video intro for their site, with a $50 prize. (They're also offering video hosting for any vid - check this page for details.) (Louis Wu 15:21:41 UTC) (permalink)
Legit goes for gold
Everybody's getting into the 'videogaming is a sport' thing, it seems - the Tampa Bay Fox affiliate covered Storm Ventures' Legit last week in a personal interest piece. I chuckled when they got to the part where his dad put his foot down... go watch. Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 15:18:57 UTC) (permalink)
Halopeno So Hot Editing Contest
Halopen Films is celebrating their one year anniversary (it was yesterday, actually, but I didn't get this posted in time) with the Halopeno So Hot Editing Contest. This is an editing contest using stock materials - Halopen Films is supplying the soundtrack, and the video footage will come from our Cutscene Library. $70 in Gamestop prizes are on the line. Go read the contest page for more details - and start editing! (Louis Wu 01:36:07 UTC) (permalink)
