Don't Forget The Sherry...
Christmas is Monday, but Stuntmutt has started the season a little early, with today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 16:31:25 UTC) (permalink)
Connecting the Dots
Maxe3 and DeOneAndOnly took the Authority Route Map from Terminal, and tied locations from Metropolis to it. Nice work! (Louis Wu 16:14:58 UTC) (permalink)
Local Michigan Boy Makes Good (playing games)
The Grand Rapids Press has an article on Dave 'Walshy' Walsh - and while the Halo stuff is pretty cool, I was more impressed by the sales from his start-up shirt company; they've had almost 15,000 orders in the past month. Give it a read! (Louis Wu 16:10:23 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Tourney in upstate NY
Dan Morrell wrote to point out a Halo 2 tourney/LAN party this weekend in Glenmont, NY. The news post for it is on Facebook - many people won't be able to read that, but he sent along a screenshot for the rest of us. If you're in the area, check it out! (Louis Wu 16:00:08 UTC) (permalink)
Xena Gives Lessons
Fun article over at Wired - Bonnie "Xena" Burton schools a Wired reporter (and in the process rakes in $25/hour for the lesson). Thanks, JeBr0nie. (Louis Wu 15:55:51 UTC) (permalink)
Vidoc now up at Bungie.net
One more update for the Brute Vidoc story at Bungie.net - you can now find official Microsoft downloads listed in the piece, both QuickTime and WMP9 versions. 'Small' means 320x180, 'Large' means 640x360 (no matter what the article itself says). These are not the biggest versions out there - but they're watermark-free, and nice quality. Thanks to Darth Ragnarok for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 15:48:17 UTC) (permalink)
Better Naming through Turmoil
3Suns noticed an interview with Max Hoberman, of Certain Affinity, over at FiringSquad - Max talks about his work on Halo 3, the upcoming Halo 2 maps, and where CA will fit in the future. Good stuff! (Louis Wu 15:40:01 UTC) (permalink)
More bad Julius Caesar riffs
Also at Rampancy.net, you'll find an interesting analysis of what the current focus on Brutes might mean for your gaming pleasure once Halo 3 comes out, in a new Narc's Retorts. (Louis Wu 15:31:14 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Main Theme For Piano
There's another piece of Halo sheet music for piano up at Rampancy.net - spartan182 transcribed the Halo 2 main theme. Currently available only in Finale Notepad format (though PDF is coming soon, apparently), and remember, you won't see a download link unless you're logged in. (Louis Wu 15:28:56 UTC) (permalink)
Top 10 Worst Ways to Die in Video Games
Mintz noticed a video called 'Top 10 Worst Ways to Die in Video Games' over at TechEBlog - and Halo makes an appearance. (In fact, the Halo entry is unique, in a way. Go watch.) This isn't new; it was created by ScrewAttack, and originally went live a couple of months ago... I remember seeing it then, but for some reason, never posted it to the front page. Well, here it is.

Friday's Fanfic
There are 8 new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section today (though a little while ago, that number was considerably higher, and prompted me to write this note on the Fan Fiction forum - please read it if you're an author). Go see what you can find! (Louis Wu 15:16:50 UTC) (permalink)
