Spread Zombie Love, Sputum Included
Aspyr has posted a press release for Stubbs the Zombie on their own site - now we know it's a 'stirring tale of one man's hunger for love, justice...and brains.' Publication date is summer 2005, on Xbox, PC, and Mac. There are plenty of other tasty tidbits in the press release - check it out! (Thanks, Andrew Lewis.) And with that... I'm off until tomorrow. Update: Kevin Goetz of Inside Mac Games points out that they've got 4 screenshots of the game on their site. Mmm... brains! Update2: Jonah points out ANOTHER article, this one at Gamespot, with a fifth image, and a video interview for Gamespot Complete members (QuickTime format, 3:23 86 mb). Lots of good info from Alex Seropian there. (Louis Wu 00:55:14 UTC)

Chance to win a Yellow Hog
Holly Wright, who owns littleplasticmen.com, a site that sells action figures, wrote to tell us about the HALO Forward Command Center (HALOfcc), a new subsection devoted to Halo, with news, giveaways, and of course, Halo action figures (both current and older). The deal that makes this newsworthy: from now through the end of November, customers will have a chance to win the Halo 2 Yellow civilian 'hog - it's a 'chase figure', which means there's one randomly inserted in every 5 or 10 boxes of toys. (In many places, workers pull the chase figures and sell them on eBay or to friends, and the general public never even gets a shot at them.) Check it out! (Louis Wu 20:52:16 UTC)

Leaky Pipes
As noted by the errant Louis Wu (who shamelessly noticed it first on Rampancy.net), Evergreen98 at the Junkyard has a reflection on the Halo 2 leak and the community response to it. It's an insightful read (not sure about the comparison to downloading music - NOTHING about the transmittal of intellectual property over the internet is that simple), so go check it out!

Piracy is for Punks
Today's IGN Countdown to Halo 2 article is a diatribe about pirating - appropriate, and a pretty good read (awesome if you contrast it to the last few in this series). Go check it out. First heads-up came from Mumbly JoE, last night. (Louis Wu 15:11:15 UTC)

Major League Gaming has launched MLG-TV, a free version of their for-pay Video on Demand. There are several vids up now, including shakeycam video from the San Fran tourney, and the LA Paintball Aftermath.

ghaash points out that the 7-Eleven/Mountain Dew Halo 2 Slurpee Cup website is now online - with chances to win Halo 2 before you can buy it. They're giving away lots of copies of the Limiited Edition version of Halo, plus a couple of trips and a bunch of T-shirts. Eligibility is limited to the US and Canada, and you must be of legal age in your country. Check it out! (Louis Wu 14:11:07 UTC)

Severe Headaches
EvilBurger pointed out that a new Subzero Rivalries is up; definitely has a Caboose-like feel to it. He's experimenting with a new coloring style - and I'd say it works really well. Check it out! (Louis Wu 12:04:07 UTC)

The Strangerhood
Recently, a new website put together by the Red vs Blue team went live - The Strangerhood is a new machinima series that uses the Sims 2 engine for storymaking. This is totally unrelated to Halo - except that a team that came together to make Halo-based movies originally is making this. An astounding number of folks wrote to tell us about it, so rather than let this flood CONTINUE, I figure we'll actually mention it. There are a number of articles about the new series prominently linked on their front page, as well as an intro trailer that can be downloaded. It's really well done, and if you enjoy machinima, you should check it out - but please, don't send us news about this, because even though we love the guys involved, it's not Halo-related. Enjoy!

Hail to the Chief
There's a 2D Halo game that was mentioned by HaloPlanet during our downtime - but when I checked the link on the HP page, I got error messages. A quick note to Fluffy, though, got me a ForumPlanet thread, which had a better link. There are actually two games, 'Hail to the Chief' and an expansion pack, 'Hail to the Chief: Arius'. Reviews and downloads for both are available from the author's webpage. A quick dip into the game shows it to be pretty fun. Check it out! (PC-only.) (Louis Wu 13:05:02 UTC)

Live Forever
A few days ago, MereCatfish posted a short (1:52, 4.9 mb, WMP9 format) teaser for an upcoming video known as 'Live Forever'; it wasn't until today that I got word that it's got sufficient bandwidth to be front-paged here. It's exactly what it sounds like - a teaser - but from the looks of things, the final product (a team-based battle in heroic style) could be fun to watch. Check it out! (Louis Wu 17:02:07 UTC)

Pro Halo player profiled in Ontario newspaper
Thanks to Andrew, of Xbox Ottawa (and half of the FTC team) for sending in a (monster) scan of an article in yesterday's Ottawa Citizen newspaper (877x3809, 587K); it focuses on G-Spot, a pro Halo player from Canada who will be representing his country at the World Cyber Games next month. (The reporter writing the story lost 125-7 in 1v1 slayer matches - with some of the gameplay from G-Spot being performed with his controller flipped upside down.) Interesting read, and amazing quantity of coverage in a mainstream newspaper. (Must have been a really slow news day in Ottawa.) Check it out! (Louis Wu 15:31:57 UTC)

They're back now, with a new contest; Face the Chief. They're looking for the features of the man beneath the helmet; if you can provide them, you can win a place within the game. Details can be found in the press release linked above. Check it out! (Louis Wu 13:27:59 UTC)
