Calamity
Heh - we got word from Trevor Mack that there was a monster montage at Halo3Forum; 22 minutes, 350 mb, gameplay from a host of players. I told him that we generally don't front-page H3F montages unless the request comes from the site owner - and that 22 minutes is pretty ridiculous for a montage anyway. Curious, though, I downloaded it; I mean... 22 minutes? I gotta say - I was floored by the gameplay. Some INSANE kills. Tweak is astoundingly good with noscopes from the back of a Mongoose. Not too long after that, I got a note from Z, asking if we'd announce this very montage - so there you go. If you love montages, and have the time (and disk space) to grab a 350 mb movie... go get Calamity. (Louis Wu 20:14:52 UTC) (permalink)
WA 2v2 Tourney
Relentless Azn stopped by to point out an upcoming 2v2 Slayer tournament this Saturday in Kent Washington - check his link for more details. (Hint for folks posting updates like this on our forum - at least say WHERE your tournament is! The location of the game store in question was not only not in his forum post, but it was nowhere on the front page of the website!) (Louis Wu 20:03:13 UTC) (permalink)
Halomega Updates
Mike, from Halomega, let us know that there's lots of new content up at their site. There's a new videos section up (they'll host your member vids, as well), they've got a new Sig of the Week contest, and they're looking for your opinion on Halo 3 as a hype-killer.

Halo 2 on XP - you're on your own
So, we mentioned a hack recently that will let you play Halo 2 Vista on Windows XP - and today, a group known as Razor 1911 released their own crack (I read about it here first, but Cody Miller saw it at Next-Gen) - in response, Dennis Powers, of HaloMaps, has issued a statement. He believes that playing the game through buggy emulation, with no support, is a bad idea; he's not going to be hosting any of the cracks. Finding them won't be hard, if you want them - but as one of the largest sites for PC-based Halo creations, he's saying it's not worth it.

HBO Zune Giveaway: Results
Took us a little while to reach everyone, and get all our ducks in a row... but the results for the HBO Zune Giveaway are now online! On top of the 4 Zunes we promised when this whole thing started out, we've convinced Bungie to provide some extra prizes - second place in all four categories will receive an awesome metal Carnage Zone street sign, and we've provided a special Judges' Choice award for one entry that we felt had not been properly recognized by the public. (Yes, we can do that. We run this place.) Check out all the details, and download high-resolution versions of the winning movies, on the Contest Results page. (Louis Wu 12:01:07 UTC) (permalink)
More info (and pics) about Master Replicas guns
A week ago, we mentioned the new stuff coming from Master Replicas - a pair of weapon replicas - but at the time, the only info about these could be found on store sites. Last night, ODSTAdrianFii noticed that some info - and a pair of photos - are now up on the Master Replicas site itself... and man, do those look good. I'm still waiting to find out how big they are - but I must say, they're gorgeous. (Louis Wu 11:33:50 UTC) (permalink)
RvB in Wired
Wired has posted an article commemorating the 100th episode of Red vs Blue (due to be released tomorrow evening), and looking back over what RvB has stood for (and inspired in others) over the past 4 years. Good read. Thanks, MC_Leprechaun. (Louis Wu 11:29:27 UTC) (permalink)
Frag Fest T
Tango pointed out a new Halo t-shirt (also available in 2XL ) available at Hot Topic - sort of elaborate, but interesting. (Louis Wu 11:23:23 UTC) (permalink)
Labor Intensive
