    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)

    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)

    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?…

    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…

    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)

    Mike Antonucci, a writer for the Mercury News, blogged a short piece about the Halo Graphic Novel; basically, he hated it, but is hoping someone can rebut his opinion in the comments section. (He’s not looking for profanity-laced invective, or l33t-speak; don’t bother posting unless you’ve got something to say. You do no service to…
