VSDA Nominates Halo 2 for GOTY - Again
The Video Software Dealers Association announced the nominees for their Game of the Year Awards today - Halo 2 is on the Xbox list, even though it won last year. (The full list of nominees is here.) Thanks, Gamasutra. (Louis Wu 19:06:46 UTC) (permalink)
U R L4M3
As we mentioned recently, while Stuntmutt is in Barbados, enjoying his honeymoon, we've got a whole series of 'celebrity' fill-ins for One One Se7en... the very first strip comes from Frankie. As might be expected, Mister Chief makes an appearance. (Louis Wu 13:40:36 UTC) (permalink)
Crosstown Traffic
MaritalBlaze54 recreated a video originally done by Snow Globe Productions - a music video set to Jimi Hendrix's 'Crosstown Traffic'. (I never saw the original, and Snow Globe's website is currently offline.) This version is quite nicely done - great syncing, great clip choices. Great song. Go watch, and listen - the MPRRS said to. WMP9 version is 33.7 mb, QuickTime version is 32.8 mb. Update: Turtle Mann, of Snow Globe, sent along a link to the original video, if you want to compare. (Louis Wu 13:31:39 UTC) (permalink)
Heretic, Hero Remixed
Paul Davies has caught the front-page bug. After five straight days of new artwork from him last week, we missed a 'Paul Davies' post yesterday... so today, he sent along a really nice remix of 'Heretic, Hero', from the Halo 2 Soundtrack Volume 1. Multitalented, that guy is! Go listen (mp3, 2.9 mb). (Louis Wu 13:19:20 UTC) (permalink)
Pwn My Heart
Elnea's done some bizarre parodies in her day... but 'Pwn My Heart' has got to be up there. I ran across this in a recent journal of hers over at Red vs Blue; it was written for a machinima piece we helped host a few months ago, but I never really noticed it there. It's a full-on Country and Western flavored Halo tune - the lyrics will make you groan. (Like Stuntmutt does.) You can listen to it while you read its history and lyrics on her .Mac space, or you can just grab the mp3 from us (2.7 mb). As usual, if we do any damage to her bandwidth, we'll be happy to host the full page. (Louis Wu 12:33:54 UTC) (permalink)
Inspiration is a beautiful thing.
Jillybean found a few tidbits that whet her fancy in the Story Page mailbag/forum pool - go see what she's brought you! (Louis Wu 12:05:15 UTC) (permalink)
Grunts... cute? Hmm.
The man will never stop looking for Megabattle goodness. Rockslider has written up yet another possibility for 35+ enemy action on Truth and Reconciliation; it's during the setup for his last find, the Dustbowl Megabattle, and it sounds like fun. Give it a read! (Louis Wu 11:36:07 UTC) (permalink)
IAC Model - Progress
Stephen Loftus has snapped a couple of photos of the latest progress on his In Amber Clad model - it's looking pretty nice! His forum post points to his personal website, or you can check it out in the local version here. (Louis Wu 11:07:22 UTC) (permalink)
Jester's Fourth Montage
Jester submitted his fourth montage to our MPRRS - and they liked it. Heavy on the effects, but some great gameplay. Grab a copy in either WMP9 format (60.1 mb) or QuickTime format (64.2 mb), and enjoy! (Louis Wu 10:49:48 UTC) (permalink)
MLG Dallas - almost $40k in Halo cash
MLG Dallas is all over but the crying... the overall winners aren't any real surprise (Final Boss took the 4v4, and the top 4 1v1 placers are all highly-known names), but as 3Suns points out, it's nice to see the money spread out amongst the top 8 this time around. Full brackets are here. (Louis Wu 10:45:49 UTC) (permalink)
DropShock Ep 16
DropShock Episode 16 is out, focusing almost entirely on Halo 3. It's a biggie... (Louis Wu 10:41:53 UTC) (permalink)
Legendary
Press Start to Play seems to be revisiting Halo quite a bit, now that the Halo 3 trailer is out - Friday's strip was Halo-related again. Thanks, Spec ops Grunt. (Louis Wu 10:39:51 UTC) (permalink)
Giving Bungie a little love
The awards continue to roll in; Voodoo Extreme has posted its Best of E3 Awards, and Halo 3 stole 'Best Movie' away from Metal Gear Solid 4. Nice! Thanks, Apache. (Louis Wu 10:33:41 UTC) (permalink)
