NGL Charlotte - Reach Tourney in July
Jay Alexander sent word that The National Gaming League will be hosting a live Halo: Reach tournament in Charlotte, NC on July 23 - you can read the full press release here. If you're planning to play - get there early! (Louis Wu 20:47:25 UTC) (permalink)
No, I'm not being paid for this.
It's been a week since E3, and though it's not directly Halo-related, I wanted to put in one more plug for Crimson Alliance. (It was made by Certain Affinity, a studio headed up by ex-Bungie employee Max Hoberman, and responsible for the 7 netmaps included with the recently-announced Halo: Anniversary edition.) It really was one of the highlights of the show for me; a really fun title that should be available later this summer. If you haven't seen gameplay, swing by and watch (or download) the trailer - then keep an eye out for it on Xbox LIVE Arcade! (Louis Wu 13:55:48 UTC) (permalink)
The Guggenheim Effect on Gaming
Over at the California Literary Review, a video game blog written by Adam Robert Thomas looks at the Guggenheim Effect, and what it's done to gaming. (If you don't know what the Guggenheim Effect is, don't worry, it's explained in the article.) Halo (the original) is used as an example of gaming health done right - and remember, Bungie's gone back to that model for Reach. Interesting read! (Louis Wu 13:35:15 UTC) (permalink)
I hope it isn't a math problem...
Heh - a Halo fan put some love into a video showing a Reach Firefight voice we'd ALL love to be able to buy... (well, I would, anyway.) Great work - I only wish it was real. Thanks, MatthewDratt.

Bungiedayathon website comes online
We mentioned a few days ago that FyreWulff would be hosting a 12-hour Bungiedayathon (before Bungie Day) to raise money for the Brian Morden Foundation - he stopped by last night to announce that the website is now up. You can see schedules, embedded vids (when he's actually playing), and donate. Check it out!

Community Customs Montage 6/10/11
Chris101b put together some footage from the most recent Customs Night shenanigans - and added in a mini-machinima tale. You get a look at some of the maps they played, plus some of the funny/cool moments they experienced. Nice work! Go watch. (Louis Wu 13:30:10 UTC) (permalink)
Achievement Horse #28
hezekiah let us know that Achievement Horse #28 is live (YouTube or AchievementHunter) - cool maps, hungover Geoff. I don't think Jack is being sympathetic enough...
