MLG Gets in Gear
Dolbex writes that the MLGPro.com website has gotten over its registration glitches - if you wanted to register, but couldn't, go now! There's other fun stuff there, as well: they've had over 100 rooms registered for the Washington event this weekend, and they're having a new contest - make a cool fan video, and you could win a prize pack worth over $100. Go read for all the details! (Louis Wu 05:31:30 UTC)

Busy Bungie Bees
Wow. When they're not running around for PR, those Bungie boys are busy. Two new articles for you over on Bungie.net (since I left for lunch, even): there are 3 new themes to customize the look of your Group pages (I'm pretty partial to Halo Babies, myself), and they've got a link up to GamePro's Reader's Choice Awards, now accepting votes (Halo 2 is up for Best Combat/Shooting Game and Game of the Year).

Trained Monkeys and Tree Frogs
Bungie has posted the next in its ongoing series of Weekly What's Updates at Bungie.net. A long answer to the 'why is cheating so rampant?' question (but one that probably won't assuage the most angry among the players), along with a bunch of other stuff. One rumor we neglected to report this week was that Halo was being created for the Gizmondo - it seemed a little too far out there to dignify. Turns out that assessment was correct. There's some stuff about downloadable content (though nothing about WHEN to expect it). There are a bunch of questions that anyone who can find a FAQ link should already know the answer to (but then, evidence shows that that's not a huge percentage of those online). There's a solid answer to the question 'how come I can't have black armor in MP?', which is nice. And there's the scariest Mister Chief artwork I've seen yet - and that includes the bug-eyed thing from a couple of weeks back. Go read! (Louis Wu 04:53:06 UTC)

Sacred Icon - as an offering
Rampancy.net continues its Halo 2 Impressions series with Sacred Icon - a discontinuity, but not a permanent one. (The two skipped levels will be covered later.) A very nice look at an effort Bungie made to address a major fan complaint about the first game... go read! (Louis Wu 17:25:50 UTC)

Rubbing Salt in the Wound...
Hehe - TeamXbox put up their own analysis of the Bungie/TXB faceoff that was this week's Halo Humpday Challenge... it's not that they're crowing, or anything, it's just that they're... well, crowing. PIctures, stats, even movies. Yeah, they're milking it... but it's fun. Go read. Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 16:27:04 UTC)

The Worst Night in the History of Mankind. Ever.
One last one for the day - There's a new Humpday Challenge Writeup over at B.net. The Bungie Chimps took on TeamXbox... and got their butts handed to them. In small pieces. The first major defeat for the home team (the forum mods don't really count). OUCH! Go read the gory details for yourself. (Louis Wu 23:26:51 UTC)

Flying Pigs, and Exploding Frogs
Wonga. Looks like I got interviewed. I hardly even noticed. Ducain, over at High Impact Halo, asked me a few questions about 'The History of Halo Tricking', or somesuch... and then wrote up the answers all pretty-like. Go read. (Louis Wu 03:17:47 UTC)

Weekly What's Update - for some
Working on this New Years Eve Day, Frankie has posted the last 2004 Weekly What's Update over at Bungie.net - except the link isn't working for everyone. It's worth a read when you can get in, though - there's some good stuff in this one. (The most interesting bit to me, actually, was about Marathon, not Halo:
Dorothy asks,
I was wondering if Bungie still sells that game Marathon. It's really hard to find now-a-days.
We don't, but you CAN download it for free from a number of places. Google it. There are even updated versions with fancy new-fangled graphics. Bungie has sorta given its blessing to this kind of thing. It's not strictly legal, but nobody's coming after you either.
This isn't the same as saying 'you can safely serve copies of the games to people', but it certainly leans closer to that attitude...) Go read it now, or if you're getting an error message, wait a bit and read it later. Thanks, Frankie. (Louis Wu 21:25:56 UTC)

Big-League Bungie Jumping
Interesting article over at BusinessWeekOnline... a look at Bungie as a success story, and the role that Halo 2 has played in that. With the exception of Marty O'Donnell, all quotes from the inside come from FORMER employees... pretty odd, until you realize it's a look at where they came from. Go read! (Thanks, Marty.)

Halo 2 and the New Heroism
Hmm. Over at Tech Central Station, there's an article entitled 'Halo 2 and the New Heroism'. It looks at Halo 2 (and games like it) as a potential route to saving military personnel in a real war. Yeah, struck me as sort of out there, too. Go read. (If you choose to discuss this on our forum, please - remember the rules about political discussions. Stay away from value judgements about the US military presence in Iraq. Thanks.) (Louis Wu 20:01:42 UTC)

CPL adds Halo 2 - officially.
A couple of days ago, DJ mentioned that Halo 2 has been picked up as an official game during the CPL Summer Event. I told him that we'd already mentioned that a week ago; he pointed out that it wasn't until Friday that Halo 2 was added as an official tournament. I thought about how to word a news article to explain the difference to people not immersed in the professional scene - and then Rapture did it for me over at Cooked Gamers. Go read his news post to see why this is big news for Halo 2 players. (Louis Wu 11:44:52 UTC)

Sunday Morning Halo Reviews
Couple of new reviews for Halo 2. Bytesector liked it quite a lot, and gave it a 97% (thanks, Woongsin Lee). Over at the Science Fiction Museum, Exogenesis compared Halo 2 to Half-Life 2. It's an interesting comparison, touching on a lot of things that have been glossed over by others; worth a read. (Halo 2 got a slightly higher final score, in the end.) Go read!

They Call Me the Seeker.
Deimos, over at Subnova, wrote a nice little app that allows you to get MSN Messenger Alerts via IRC. This is relevant to this community because you can, for example, sign up for XBox Live Alerts, which will tell you when your friends sign on, or when you receive a game invite... and you can receive this alert while you're logged into the Subnova IRC network, chatting on, say, #HBO. I've never paid much attention to the MSN Alert stuff, because I don't want to run the Messenger IM application on my computer - but now I don't have to. MorningStar has written up instructions on how to integrate these two services; if this sounds appealing to you, go read, and sign up! (Louis Wu 15:11:22 UTC)

Ferrex Holds Court
An interview with Tyson Green, aka Ferrex, was published in February's Electronic Gaming Magazine - and is now available on 1UP.com. It's a fantastic read, even if Tyson misattributes the Warthog Jump vid to Frogblast, instead of Randy Glass. Tons of "why did you do it this way?" questions - with real answers. Go read! Thanks, Voodoo Extreme.
