4v4 tourneys at Violated Gaming
Chad Souter wrote to point out 2 tournaments at violatedgaming.com - a 4v4 MLG-rules tourney on December 14, and a 4v4 SWAT tourney on the 21st. Swing by for more details! (Louis Wu 18:13:29 UTC) (permalink)
Abusedgoat's Megamix
Z wrote to point out Abusedgoat's Megamix - a montage that includes 10 different maps (it's not just Lockout and Midship!) and some nice editing. Abusedgoat's pretty darned good with the stickies... and he's a master spawnkiller on Turf. (Heh - he's a pretty good sniper all around, but there's a Kilimanjaro or two that wouldn't have happened with more random spawnpoints...) WMP9 format, 146 mb. (Louis Wu 18:11:00 UTC) (permalink)
Issue of the week - Waterworks
PEZ wrote to point out that halowiki.net has a new Issue of the Week - it's Waterworks. (You can find it on their front page - look for the yellow Highlights box.) Check out basics, tactics, tips and tricks... and add your own! (Louis Wu 17:53:42 UTC) (permalink)
Campers.
In today's One One Se7en, Stuntmutt dares to ask the tough questions that come up in the dark. (Louis Wu 16:59:28 UTC) (permalink)
Falling on my virtual face
The staff at High Impact Halo wrote down a bunch of questions about running a fansite, and I did my best to muddle through 'em. It's not strictly Halo-related, though most of the questions are about HBO... but if you're thinking about getting into the fansite arena, it might have a few useful tidbits for you.

Halomega Weekly Update
Monday's here, so Halomega's CiphA sent another weekly update. You can find two new gameplay vids - not montages, but full games (TalenT, WMP9, 265 mb, and Bradddddddd, WMP9, 164 mb). You can find the results from last week's Snipe of the Week contest, and a page for the next contest. (you should really check this one out - only 20 entries will be accepted, and the winner will receive an xbox (soft-modded). It's a Christmas present from Frozen.) Finally, there's a montage teaser from GuNNa (WMP9 format, 19 mb). Enough to keep you busy? (Louis Wu 15:48:51 UTC) (permalink)
Cortana Bodypainting
Yesterday, gunluva stopped by our forum to say that he'd stumbled across some pictures of a woman done up in Cortana bodypaint - but that he was reluctant to post the URL, because there was artistic nudity involved. (I'd like to go on record that I appreciate his hesitance; while Halo is a Mature-rated game, there are still plenty of kids who visit this site, and the last thing I need are angry emails from offended parents.) He sent me the link via email, and I contacted the site's maintainer, who explained that the same pictures could be found at DeviantART - with the added bonus that DA does an age check automatically. (Yes, you'll need to sign in if you want to see them. Sorry. Upside - registration's free.) If you like the work, you should check out the rest of his DeviantART gallery; there's lots of other bodypainting shots. The woman playing Cortana is KayleeT - you can check out her modeling portfolio here. (Louis Wu 15:05:40 UTC) (permalink)
The Riot 28
Wow, is the weekend over already? I guess it's time to get back to work... we got mail from Bitter Irony, the host of this week's episode of The Riot (Sigafoos and Brathnok are MIA). It's a short one - 12:30 long, 4.5 mb - but it covers lots of stuff. Go listen! (Louis Wu 14:52:30 UTC) (permalink)
