Contest Voting Closing Soon
A quick note - if you haven't yet voted for your favorite images in the 7 on the 7th Halo 2 Soundtrack contest, go do it now; I'm going to close voting late tonight or early tomorrow. There are some funny pics in there - help their creators to win a free signed Halo 2 Soundtrack! (Louis Wu 22:55:57 UTC) (permalink)
2Old2Play MLG Fundraiser Tourney
Kenneth Wan points out a fundraiser tournament over at 2Old2Play; they're raising money to send a team to MLG Dallas next month. Swing by and read the details - and sign up! (Louis Wu 22:47:21 UTC) (permalink)
Wii Simply Cannot Stand It.
This isn't Halo news, but it's the longest 'groaner' thread I've seen in a while. It's like the whole forum is channeling Stuntmutt or something. Mothergoat pointed out that the Nintendo Revolution has gotten it's REAL name (Revolution was a working title)... and the forum community sort of... tore it a new one. Ouch. Maybe Nintendo should reconsider. (Louis Wu 22:44:32 UTC) (permalink)
Overloading the Air Vents
We usually leave the Halo tricking to High Impact Halo these days - but there's a cool vid over there that's worth pointing out. A bunch of guys got underneath the air vents on Foundation - insanity. The video is encoded using WMP9 Professional audio, which will give Mac users a headache... so we're providing a QuickTime version (32.6 mb). If you CAN watch the WMP9, though, you should, because the quality is higher. Thanks, Ducain. (Louis Wu 18:21:48 UTC) (permalink)

Upcoming Action Figures
No pictures yet, but Stephen Loftus found mention of the upcoming Series 9 Halo action figures - details are in this forum post. Battle-damaged Ghost... mmm. (Louis Wu 13:52:44 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: The Covenant War
Ewen dropped us a note about a tabletop RPG adaptation of Halo he's working on called "Halo: The Covenant War." You can find some sample artwork for the miniatures in this blog post. Great start! (Louis Wu 13:50:02 UTC) (permalink)
Telling Stories through Games
Roger Wilco noticed a great article at Gamasutra, discussing storytelling and game design (and how they're inter-related). Halo 2 is held up as a 'mixed success' - some of the storytelling is done in-game, but some of it is done via 'agency-violating cutscenes'. Go read! (Louis Wu 13:44:30 UTC) (permalink)
