Shirts - one way to help
SketchFactor has posted another 'Fight the Flood' shirt update - total number of shirts sold is closing in on 10,000, and total dollar amount donated to the Red Cross disaster relief fund is almost $150,000. Nice! (If you haven't bought a shirt yet, consider it.) Thanks, Schedonnardus. (Louis Wu 16:55:37 UTC) (permalink)
If you must lose, blame your teammate
Heh - there's a followup to the recent Houston Chronicle story on Zyos in today's paper; this one is a short piece detailing Zyos' loss in last weekend's WCG 2005 US Finals. (He says that if next year's competition is team-based, he won't even enter; he's decided he's better by himself.) Thanks, Tom Pittman. (Louis Wu 14:59:00 UTC) (permalink)
A Story To Tell
Nirvana dropped a note on our forum to let folks know about the second 'Interview with a Star', this time with Alexander Winn, otherwise known as Nerrolken, one of the driving forces behind the Codex Series. Interesting read - go find out what drives him! (Louis Wu 12:35:36 UTC) (permalink)
Cutting-edge entertainment on an old platform
Over at Wired.com, there's an article about video game novels; Halo's titles get some nice coverage. Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 12:08:04 UTC) (permalink)
RocketMoose - anti-cheat, almost married
VII Toast interviewed one of the newest Bungie hires, RocketMoose, and has posted the interview on his 7th Column Group site. Go learn more about the people behind the scenes! (Louis Wu 10:59:54 UTC) (permalink)
H2F vids
Couple of vids for you over at Halo2Forum.com - the first is a montage full of sticks from Fershetta (plenty of pros in it - WMP9 format, 68.4 mb). The second is from Team Confusion, and aims to demonstrate how to throw grenades with precision on Lockout. (There were movies like this in the original game - some great ones on Hang 'em High, Damnation... but I haven't seen many in Halo 2 yet.) How to blow weapons to you, how to place grenades in critical spots from areas that are well out of the line of sight of the target. Pretty cool stuff! WMP9 format, 39 mb.
