Month: February 2005

For those waiting breathlessly… it’s Tuesday, so it’s time for another chapter of Mike Miller’s Legendary Walkthrough. This one looks at Outskirts… and the bane of Legendary in general – jackal snipers. Go read, go watch. (8 new movies.)

There’s another interesting article linked from Rampancy.net over on TheHollywoodReporter.com – it’s an interview with Henry Jenkins, a professor at MIT and a gamer. It brings up some pretty salient points about video game violence, and why we as a society seem to target it as a cure for our ills… and why this might…

Verdafolio posted a note on our forum a few days ago about a movie called ‘Vehicular Pwnage’ – it’s almost 20 mb, in WMP9 format, hosted over at DementedPuppy.com (thanks also to WhoKnew). This shows footage of the HBO Lekgolos doing some… well, check the title. A QuickTime version should be coming soon.

A couple of days ago, Xboxter posted a note on our forum – the links in that first post are funky, but the concept is there: he remixed the Last Spartan track off the Halo 2 Soundtrack to recreate the music you hear in the Return to Sender cutscene. I think he did a pretty…

New tourneys – Slothboy mentioned one in Oregon; the Frag Fiesta will be taking place in Newberg (south of Portland) on February 12… and Kin Hulamm wrote to us about a 4v4 tourney to benefit UNICEF coming up in Greenbelt, Maryland on February 16; no website, but you can email him for details.

Jillybean let us know that there are a couple of small updates on the Halo Story page (one that mnemesis put up a few days ago, but we missed, another she posted last night)… go read the latest!

New video to watch – a preview of things to come. The project is called ‘The Codex’, and the trailer is a bit over 3 minutes of tight camera work, beautiful edits, and great coordination with the soundtrack. Hard to tell yet how the plot will hold up… but the trailer certainly leaves you wanting…
