    in

    Str8 Rippin went down to XiT Woundz in a three-game matchup at the Intel Summer Championships – GotFrag’s got the play-by-play. Update: Oops, looks like I missed a day. GotFrag’s info was only through the Upper Bracket Finals, the first matchup of these two teams; they met twice more, with Str8 Rippin taking both series,…

    zugy’s been working on a program that makes line designs – and his first ‘model’ is Stuntmutt’s One One Se7en character. Check out his blog here.(Louis Wu 16:48:41 UTC)

  • We all KNOW the real winner.

    I’m very, very happy this morning. Why? Because over at Gamefaqs, they’re running a ‘Best.Series.Ever’ contest, with two series pairing off each day, and being voted on by their members – and yesterday, Halo lost its first-round battle, with Castlevania. I was really hoping it would lose (which is why this news post is going…

    c0ld vengeance grabbed a really nice 3D shot of the atmospheric processing station hologram visible at the start of the ‘The Perfect Plan in the Perfect Storm’ chapter of the Oracle level – check it out in regular QT or QTVR formats in this forum post. Beautiful timing!(Louis Wu 13:08:43 UTC)

    Pinkuh’s been busy – yesterday she posted an adorable celebration of Bungie Day, and this morning she graced us with an anime version of Miranda Keyes; we’ve added both images to her gallery page here (Bungie Day | Anime Keyes). Great work!(Louis Wu 12:22:52 UTC)

  • Move Along – One More Time

    in

    I didn’t want to front-page this without permission from MMaster – but a few days ago, when we posted his remake of the All-American Rejects music vid, I took a few minutes and composited MMaster’s version with the original, just to give folks a sense for how closely he tried to match his source material.…

  • WSVG Preliminary Rounds Over

    by

    in

    GotFrag has scores up from the first few rounds of the WSVG Intel Summer Championships, as well as seeding for the final round. As they mention, Final Boss didn’t show here, so no matter WHO wins, there’s no way to claim total superiority. More gaming this weekend!(Louis Wu 12:15:14 UTC)

    It’s not the first time this song has been used in a Halo video (I think our own Cybrfrk gets that credit), but it’s a pretty funny movie in its own right – swing by Halo3Forum.com and grab a copy of Muhna Muhna (77 mb, WMP9 format) – it should make you smile.(Louis Wu 12:00:11…

    Late, but hey… it’s Friday. A few hours ago, Frankie posted the Bungie Weekly Update – not a lot to say, except that the Halo Graphic Novel is actually done (w00t!), and a really cool pic from it has been posted. Well, there’s a little more. Go read. (Or read it here, in our Weekly…

    Bungie took note of things that didn’t work in Halo, and came up with alternatives in Halo 2. Stuntmutt comments on one such alternative in today’s One One Se7en. Groan protectors – ON!(Louis Wu 13:00:59 UTC)

    16 new pieces (stories and poems) up in the Fan Fiction section today; two would have been deleted, but I thought they might help submitters remember that the formatting pseudocode is case-sensitive. Enjoy!(Louis Wu 12:24:59 UTC)
