NJ Halo Tourney, June 3
Fall0ut writes to point out a FFA/4v4 tourney in New Jersey on June 3 - FFA is $10 to enter, $100 for first place, 4v4 is $30 to enter, up to $1000 first prize. More details and info at the NJHalo website. (Louis Wu 19:56:12 UTC) (permalink)
Reclaimer
Luke Jeffery wrote to point out Wandering Tiger Machinima, a group working on a series called 'Reclaimer'; they're up to Episode 4. Swing by their site to check it out. (Louis Wu 19:50:06 UTC) (permalink)
Hand-eye coordination is hand-eye coordination
Heh - a new survey finds that surgeons who play video games make fewer mistakes when doing laparoscopic surgery than those who don't - and the lead researcher lists Halo 2 among his favorite games. In case you, you know, needed some ammunition against someone telling you to quit wasting your time... (Louis Wu 19:22:05 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 in demand - even in Japan
Spandexman noticed a Famitsu Readers Poll being reported at QJ.net - readers of the Japanese magazine were asked what game they were most interested in (all platforms)... and Halo 3 made the list. Not bad for a first-person shooter in Japan! (Louis Wu 19:10:52 UTC) (permalink)
When Art and Business Clash
Over at Rampancy.net, there's a fascinating piece that looks at a new book by Dean Takahashi, entitled "The Xbox 360 Uncloaked: The Real Story Behind Microsoft's Next-Generation Video Game Console", and how that book relates to Bungie, and to the development of Halo 2 and Halo 3. Great excerpts, great analysis. If you've ever been interested in the behind-the-scenes stuff that went into these games, go read. (Remember - this is Takahashi's take on events.)

Wallpaper, For One And All
I don't think I'll ever understand how it gets away from me so quickly... but the Wallpaper queue, which was filled to bursting with Halo 3 images (along with quite a number of cool non-Halo3 images), has been emptied. (If you uploaded a file to our upload directory in the last day or so, it's not in this batch - but I hope the next batch won't take quite so long.) There are 42 entries - but there are almost 60 images, if you count variations. Some really amazing stuff; if you haven't changed your desktop image for a while, check this group out!

Sargeisms - now in QuickTime
It's much easier to watch Windows Media Player content on Macs than it used to be... but for those who'd still rather have QuickTime, we're making the RvB Sargeisms movie available in QT format (High | Low). This one KP doesn't get to steal away. (That boy might need his keys revoked, now that he's working at Bungie...) (Louis Wu 02:05:56 UTC) (permalink)
