Under Cover of Linebackers
Got a great note from Paul Teets today:
I was watching CBS's football coverage today and they were doing a special on Brian Griese for Denver. To my amazement I heard some interesting background music. "Under Cover of Night" from the Halo Soundtrack!!! Guess Halo is now mainstream. Soon everybody will know how special this game is.
I gotta say... this just tickles me. Marty and crew - you rock! (Louis Wu 17:14:04 UTC) (permalink)
The double-edged sword of the internet...
To the vast numbers of people sending us a direct link to a download directory containing the Edge scans: thanks, but we posted it yesterday. (Check this post.) The directory everyone's sending us links to is listed at least twice in the thread mentioned in that post - and as we said there, we're not sure how we feel about Edge's intellectual property being disseminated so widely when the issue isn't even on the shelves yet. If you want to see the scans, finding the URL should be pretty easy - but please don't ask us to help take income out of Edge's pocket even more blatantly by displaying that URL on our front page. Thanks. (I'm betting that a significant chunk of change has been lost to Edge because of this - there are thousands of issues that WOULD have been bought if the information hadn't been spread like this. Most of these 'lost' copies would ONLY have been bought for the Halo 2 info - so putting that info up now directly impacts Edge's bottom line.) (Louis Wu 15:28:59 UTC) (permalink)

Check out that Hunter Shuffle...
StarwarsFanMan has put together a new movie. It's rather large - 35 megs, 7 and a half minutes long (QT format). Content is mostly glitches and tricks - some pretty funny stuff. (Personally, I'd say it goes on too long... but things have been quiet, so I'm willing to cut him some slack. :) ) It's called Operation: Beheaded, and you can find it at mythica.org (of course) and the Psyjnir Complex Hotline server (of course). Any other mirrors are (as always) gratefully appreciated. Biggest thing to watch out for - sound level is rather low on everything but the music tracks. Crank it up for dialog and effects... but make sure you've got your finger on the volume control for when the music kicks back in. (Louis Wu 03:25:53 UTC) (permalink)
