  • Hang ’em Hign, for Unreal

    Nick found a pretty cool-looking UT2k3 version of Hang ’em High… someone’s putting a lot of time into making it right. The thread (with a number of screens) can be found here. You’ll need to register to view the site, so here’s a link to one of the images, so you can get a better…

  • Story Page’s Level Transcripts updated

    dolbex points out that the Halo50K preregistration database is now online. It starts with a survey – they’re trying to get an idea about how much interest there is. (After the survey, you’re given a chance to preregister your team; this isn’t the stage at which you need to pay or anything.) Stop by and…

    Gotta love it when the big boys are months behind.
