    The introduction of fantabulous Halo tourneys continues to creep into our living room (I know, slightly redundant!). If you have DirecTV, you can catch a free preview on channel 101 this weekend.

    A couple of days ago, a Halo fan from China posted a bunch of pictures over at High Impact Halo. They don’t normally post news about fan creations – so Amaroq shot us a heads-up, and I contacted the artist. He gave me permission to put these pics up here, in a format that might…

    KSP SRT and |X|POOHBEAR|X| put together a dual montage – the MPRRS liked it a lot, and with good reason; solid gameplay and nice timing. Lots of BR action, lots of great grenade placement, plenty of multisnipes. 7 and a half minutes long, just over 100 mb in either WMP9 or QuickTime format – go…

    It’s not particularly Halo-related – but we mentioned the workshop a couple of weeks ago, so a followup seems in order. Gamasutra has a writeup of the Comedy in Games panel at the Game Writers Conference held recently. Matt Soell had quite a lot to say in it. Go read! Thanks to Narcogen, over at…

    It’s been a busy few days; there’ve been some recent forum tidbits that got glossed over, but are worth a look. First up: Pixellated stumbled across a site devoted to lenticular clouds that contained an image that was really familiar! (Unfortunately, the larger version on the original site is no longer there.)(Louis Wu 13:54:35 UTC)
