The LAN Locator
DoctorEvol has been working on the LAN Locator system - you can find it linked off the Coconut Lounge, his website. Add in the details of your next lanfest, and folks will be able to search the database for it! (This is only as good as the data it collects - so if you like the idea, use it.)

I Love Bees - Reordered
Webshift loved the I Love Bees game from last summer - but he was unhappy that the story was released in such a way that you occasionally learned things before they made sense, because the releases were character-based, instead of chronologically-based. He took it upon himself to remix the pieces, and we'll be releasing them over the next few weeks. Chapter 1 is up now - go listen! (Louis Wu 11:51:04 UTC) (permalink)
Stubbs - in the Spotlight
Our favorite CBS News gamer, William Vitka, has posted an article about Stubbs the Zombie (good read!) - thanks, 3Suns... and Inside Mac Games gets some info about the Mac port of that game from Glenda Jackson, of Aspyr (thanks, Narcogen). (Louis Wu 11:44:52 UTC) (permalink)
Name That Tune
Video Games Live, the concert tour that was planned for this summer and will now kick off at the end of October, has a 'Name That Tune' game online to show you some of the music they play. (Halo's main theme, of course, is among the pieces.) Give it a whirl - and check out the tour dates while you're there! (Louis Wu 10:52:43 UTC) (permalink)
That projector costs ten grand.
Today's Bungie Weekly Update takes a close look at the new office space, with some very nice panoramic shots of the space and a list of nearby eateries (though I'm sure Bentllama is gonna kill Frankie for neglecting the Original Pancake House RIGHT NEXT DOOR). There's also a pretty awesome Mister Chief Etch-a-Sketch. Go read! (Louis Wu 01:13:04 UTC) (permalink)
117, Part 2
Yesterday, Fireb0rn (creator of the critically-acclaimed Halo vids 117 and Talking Smack over Xbox Live) wrote to say he had a followup to 117 (which was the story of a single Spartan facing nearly insurmountable odds) ready to go, but that it was too big for the MPRRS. I re-encoded it for him, and submitted it this morning... and 7 hours later, it passed with flying colors. (I knew it would; it's really, really well done.) The man has an eye for camera angles, and tells a mean story. This one's big; 7 minutes long, 70+ mb (depending on flavor). Grab the one that works best for you. The QuickTime version is 73.2 mb, the WMP9 version is 69.2 mb. Enjoy! Update: there've been some reports that the WMP9 version was corrupt in some way; it worked for me here, but enough people had trouble that I re-encoded it. The new version is 76.4 mb, and was added a little after 10 am EST. Hopefully, this solves the original problems! (Louis Wu 00:56:45 UTC) (permalink)
