    Sigh… I thought I was going to get through today without having to mention that it’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day. (Is there also an international Dress Like a Transvestite Day? How about a Snuffle Like an Aardvark Day?) Halo Heads 8 references the ‘holiday’ specifically, so… thanks, Paul Maestri. (Thanks a LOT.)(Louis Wu…

    Mike Rouse, of Machine-Enema, submitted ‘Pie, Chapter 1’ to the MPRRS yesterday. It passed, handily; it’s different from a lot of machinima out there. It has a powerful storyline, and a clever use of mods. The video has a distinctive (and intentional) look to it; it adds nicely to the atmosphere of the film. It’s…

    Game-Spectrum, purporting to cover the entire spectrum of gaming, gets a nice interview, along with threats of physical violence, with its interview of Bungie’s own Kevin “KP” Paul, covering his turn-ons, turn-offs, and how he sleeps at night knowing all that stuff about Halo that we’ll never even know we don’t know.

    Heh – Games.net has a ‘Winners & Losers’ column in which they praise (or take to task) gaming articles around the net; they hammer GameDaily for an article entitled ‘Five Reasons Why Halo 3 Might Suck’. I gotta say – I’m behind ’em on this one.(Louis Wu 00:55:55 UTC)
