Lost: Halostyle E 6 – The Average Journey Part 1
The MPRRS reviewers have definitely turned up the heat on review times; in short order, the queue has dropped from almost 20 to nearly empty. (There are 5 videos in the queue that are about to be finished, which will drop the queue size to a single movie.) Another passing vid – Episode 6 of…

Submit your questions for Matt from Red vs. Blue!
I’ll be interviewing Matt from RvB on August 9th, and he agreed to open up the questions to you, the community. So now’s your chance to ask RvB anything you like. Keep in mind I’ll already be covering the basics including how they got started and what RvB’s all about. Beyond that, it’s all you.…

SvF Ep 10 – Flame War: Doppelganger
At long last, Sponsors vs Freeloaders has been continued; Episode 10 was released last night. It’s 11 minutes long, and answers a bunch of questions left open in Episode 9 (though it asks a bunch more) – you can grab high and low res WMP9 versions, and a low-res QuickTime version, from the SvF downloads…

Jaheijagaj – Realized
Wow – so I’m not even sure what category to put this in. Some time ago, Jillybean described a fictitious board game in a fan fiction she wrote, called The Priestess and the Warrior. It was a regular fixture in the story, as time went on – but it was never described in very much…

Rumor Mill: New Bungie Property At X06
Spong says its sources at Microsoft indicate that a new, non-Halo Bungie game will be announced at X06 very soon: Speaking to a Microsoft source close to the management of the entire Xbox 360 project today, we were told that, “As far as things stand, Halo 3 is the last game [in the series] and…

Greatest Time To Be In Games– Ever
We’re extremely late in mentioning this article, but Gamasutra did an interview with Wideload Games founder Alexander “The Man” Seropian last month as Part 2 of their Tour of Chicago. Seropian’s post-Bungie startup is based there, as Bungie was prior to the Microsoft buyout. The article talks about things Seropian likes to do besides playing…

I bet you could pull a chapter with that thing.
Wonga – very cool tow hitch sighting from Mrs. Doublefire… check it out!(Louis Wu 00:47:15 UTC)

It’s M4GIC!
In a quick 1-2 approval, the MPRRS shot through the second montage from G2 tah Oochie (aka TnA Gooch). More emphasis on gameplay, less on editing effects – I like ’em better that way. WMP9 version is 45.7 mb, QuickTime version is 46.1 mb.(Louis Wu 00:29:40 UTC)

Scotty Doesn’t Know
Turtle Mann sent along ‘Scotty Doesn’t Know’, a vid set to the song from ‘Euro Trip’. The MPRRS reviewers gave it the nod, so grab it in WMP9 format (30 mb) or QuickTime format (29.6 mb). Minor PG-13 lyrics warning…(Louis Wu 00:27:02 UTC)

Today Bungie is pleased to announce the first Halo faceplate for your Xbox 360. The faceplate will be available sometime around October and features the Master Chief in a classic pose set to a blue backdrop decorated with Forerunner geometry. Read on for a full-sized picture.

Halo Faceplate – A good look
So the first (official) Halo faceplate will be available in stores (for example, links at Gamestop | EB Games) in October; Emerl was the first on our forum to notice this (about a week ago). Overall reaction wasn’t REALLY positive… but maybe that’s because you couldn’t really see the detail in those tiny thumbnail previews?…

WSJ looks at Halo 2 Entrepeneur
Today’s Wall Street Journal has an article about Tom “Tsquared” Taylor, a Halo pro gamer who set up a business to teach people to play videogames better. I was going to pass on mentioning this, because the online version of this story is unreadable unless you have a paid subscription… but HelixBlue reminded me that…

Busting Out.
Not only does today’s One One Se7en have a corny joke, it has spoilers for Halo, as well. All we need is a rocket teamkill, and we’ve got the perfect strip.(Louis Wu 12:31:37 UTC)

Remember this for the next Con
Heh – Samusaaron3 brought his Xbox 360 faceplate to Comic-Con last week, and got a bunch of signatures… including a mini Mister Chief from Frankie. Nice!(Louis Wu 12:01:58 UTC)

Look at me when I talk to you!
Clubinator turned in a pair of Master Gunns quotes from the first ‘level’ of Halo 2 (the training exercise); we’ve added them to our Dialogue Databank. Don’t mess with the gunnery sergeant!(Louis Wu 11:59:01 UTC)

GTR nominated for Podcast Awards
Yesterday we mentioned that Podtacular was up for some Podcast Awards – I neglected to point out that Gamertag Radio, as well, has been nominated in the Gaming category! Make your decision wisely.(Louis Wu 11:27:02 UTC)

Joyride missed out.
Wow, very cool. Laird stumbled across some pics of a fan-created Snow Hog, modified from a Battle-Damaged Warthog. I want one! (The guy’s .sig rocks, too.)(Louis Wu 11:22:36 UTC)
