Registration ends soon...
Bungie.net is reporting that online preregistration for the Halo National Tournament ends tomorrow... you MIGHT still be able to register on the day of the event, but you certainly shouldn't count on it. (Louis Wu 21:36:48 UTC) (permalink)
MC on the Barbie
If you ever find yourself Down Under, and you need something to do... look up Crocodile Bungie. They're the Seventh Column Aussie contingent... and they've recently put together a pretty slick little video (2:29 long) showing what you'd be up against if you visited. There's a high-quality version - 17.8 mb, 300x240, QT5, and a lower-quality version - 7.7 mb, 240x180. Looks like they don't like campers, among other things! (Louis Wu 04:57:22 UTC) (permalink)
There oughtta be a law...
Bungie's Number One Fan Miguel 'Freewill' Chavez competed in the first round of the Halo National Tournament... and has written up his experiences, complete with pics. Check it out at Bungie Sightings! Correction: Miguel competed in a warm-up event, not the actual tournament. Silly me - the tournament doesn't even start until next week!

You gotta hear this...
Apologies for the lack up updates - I spent the day at a music festival with my family. Too much sun, too much driving, lots of great music... and what do I come back to? MORE great music! dogsounds (recently in the news for his cartooning skills) has dropped off our first Fan Music submission... and I'm pretty impressed! dogsounds says:
I had a few hours spare this weekend so I cobbled together some 'fan music' I guess you could call it, inspired by the SACRED GAME and Uncle Marty's classic musical outpourings.
It was a bit rushed to be honest, so it's not brilliant or anything, and I was having some troubles with my sampler (noting a swift twat about the front panel can't fix, probably), but I hope everyone enjoys it. Maybe others will be inspired to write their own Halo fan music!
I based it on the scene in 'The Fall Of Reach' where Sam realizes that, because of damage to his armor, he can't leave the doomed Covenant ship that is on a countdown to destruction, and so must stay behind and accept his fate.
It's called 'Costly Exfiltration (Sam Says Goodbye)', but I've renamed the mp3 to be more internet friendly. Grab sam.says.goodbye.mp3 (3.5 mb) today, and be sure to post what you think! (Louis Wu 04:18:29 UTC) (permalink)
