He'll Have To Be Silenced
Stuntmutt gives us his take on an issue noticed last week with one of the new maps. As usual, he's willing to point the finger at everyone but himself. See for yourself in today's One One Se7en. (mnemesis 14:55:02 UTC) (permalink)
Got lemons? Make lemonade jackal shields.
Back at the end of March, we posted about Zach Wigal's dealings with local school, civic, and law enforcement officials in trying to organize a Halo 2 tournament. An event that, beyond the regular LAN hawtness would've also let the local youth feel connected with their township - heck, even the local Baptist church planned to setup a booth to reach out to today's hip console-playing crowd. Long story short - folks that feel Halo 2 embodies all that is *bad* in our society put a kibosh on it - it didn't come to pass - and due to it being shutdown at the last minute Zach and his cohorts lost a bunch of money. Now we can sit and wallow in frustration (or pursue litigation), or we can follow Zach's lead in turning this around and shoving our goodwill right back into the faces of those that think they know better. To that end he has created a non-profit group called Halo For Hunger (not to be confused with the one-off LAN event from a few months back). It's slowly getting off the ground but you can visit his myspace page and keep up with his blog, and even hit the paypal donate button there and throw him a buck or two. (His group is aiming for $15K, but I really think that's lowballing it) And if you can spare a few minutes, check out the podcast from FreeFM 97.1, Michigan's PWNED Radio (things can't be THAT bad in the USA if there's a *weekly* 2 hour FM radio show dedicated to video games and the industry!) Look for the podcast titled Halo Haters. Listen as Zach explains how it all went down and the awesomeness when Marty O'Donnell sends you an email in support. We'll do our best to keep you appraised as Zach's non-profit venture develops. (Ding 14:42:30 UTC) (permalink)

MTV Receives Copy of H2V for Review, Doesn't Review
A weekly segment at MTV.com, the Multiplayer Stock Report, includes Halo 2 for Windows Vista this week. Unfortunately, they don't really say much about the game other than to regurgitate the contents of the package received. If you're interested in what accompanies the press kit for H2V, however, go and check it out. (KP 13:20:48 UTC) (permalink)
