North Carolina tourney this weekend
JeBr0nie noticed a writeup for a Halo 2 tournament in North Carolina, coming up on January 27 - top prize is $1,024. Check his forum post for links to more details! (Louis Wu 22:02:05 UTC) (permalink)
K.A.T.
Paul Maestri sent word that Halo Heads 42 is now live. The Kitty Assassin Team kicks off a continuing storyline! (Louis Wu 19:05:18 UTC) (permalink)
You Heard It Here First. And Second. And Third And...
In the last couple of weeks, the Hamilton Spectator story about the bear suit guy who made a Halo-like bullet-stopper has shown up on our forum a LOT of times - Stuntmutt gives you an idea how many in today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 15:33:07 UTC) (permalink)
And Holding Up the Xbox Banner...
GamesRadar has posted a list of the Top 10 fastest selling titles during their UK Launch Week - 9 of the 10 titles are PS2, the tenth (in 4th place overall) is Halo 2. (Louis Wu 15:29:37 UTC) (permalink)
H2Vista Achievements and your XBL Gamerscore
rapture noticed an article at Next Generation that states that not only will there be Achievements to earn in Halo 2 (a fact we already knew), but that those achievements would count towards your Xbox Live Gamerscore, the same as they would if earned from a 360 instead of from Vista. I suppose in retrospect, it should have been obvious - that's the part of Xbox Live-Aware that H2Vista DOES, after all - but this is the first time it's been explicitly stated.

GoW - the next Halo 2, competitively?
Over at the Advanced Media Network, there's an article about the potential that Gears of War has as a competitive shooter - with some interesting comparisons between GoW and Halo 2. Thanks to 3Suns for pointing this out. (Louis Wu 15:00:24 UTC) (permalink)
Inspiration...
The current issue of the Escapist Magazine has an article on movies that have heavily influenced videogame development - Halo gets a number of mentions, with Aliens leading the pack of movies that, if removed from existence, might kill the game altogether. Thanks to Narcogen, who noticed this over at Rampancy.net. (Louis Wu 14:48:41 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Miniatures Update
GFC Danny has updated his Halo Miniatures website with a bunch of new info - if you're interested in tabletop games, and like Halo (of course you like Halo - why else would you be reading this?), stop by and check it out! (Louis Wu 14:39:04 UTC) (permalink)
Gears of Ha... Oh, Forget It
Sane Intolerant pointed out (obliquely) a comic he'd made in answer to a recent Halo, Articulated comic. Pretty funny, actually. And self-fulfilling, even. (Louis Wu 14:37:22 UTC) (permalink)
QsK Montage Contest Winner
GH stopped by to let us know that he won the QsK Montage Contest we mentioned back in October - go visit and grab a copy (which weighs in at an appropriate 117 mb). Nice work, overall! (Louis Wu 14:33:54 UTC) (permalink)
