Month: April 2007

Red vs Blue episode 94 is out now for sponsors, in two flavors – 250k and 400k bitrates. As they come down the home stretch, they’re back to their roots – and the result is glorious. I just watched this in a room full of people, with headphones plugged into the laptop; the laugh-out-loud moments…

KP might have discovered the next big thing in Halo play – or maybe not. Either way, his narrative is hilarious. Go read.(Louis Wu 12:47:19 UTC)

darthbob noticed that Gamespot has an article about District, the second of two new exclusive maps coming out with Halo 2 Vista next month (the first is Uplift, profiled by GameSpy recently). 6 new screenshots – this level looks to be an amalgam of Turf, Terminal, and Outskirts. Check it out!(Louis Wu 05:21:57 UTC)

Mister Froggy posted Halo, Articulated #29 – Sarge’s true nature comes out.(Louis Wu 05:01:23 UTC)

I posted this last night (Funkmon noticed it) – but somehow, the news post vanished. Thanks to J23 for getting me to look again. Once again – Edgeworks has posted Episode 5 of the Heretic; the Praetor draws suspicion upon himself during the search for the Heretic. Voice acting continues to be superlative, cinematography is…

The Bungie Weekly Update is now available at Bungie.net – a nice look at the Halo 3 fusion core, some critical information about Halo 2 Matchmaking (be sure you read this before next week!), and some tidbits we’ve come to expect about the Halo 3 dev process. Go read! (As usual, it’s also available in…

The title of today’s One One Se7en tells me that not only is Stuntmutt willing to recycle old jokes, but that he’s unsure enough about your quickness, as readers, that he feels the need to EXPLAIN the joke to you. If I were you, I’d feel offended. Maybe even boycott the strip. That’ll teach ‘im.…

In what seems to be becoming a pattern, there are 7 new entries in the Fan Fiction section this week. Go read ’em!(Louis Wu 13:30:51 UTC)

This Spartan Life has posted Module 5 of Episode 4 – Body Count. This time around, it’s a debate between Ann Coulter, queen of neocons, and Tom Anderson, founder of MySpace, over the validity (and usefulness) of the Patriot Act. (The actual topic description is ‘Homeland Security Vs. Civil Liberties’.) We try to stay out…

Archie Gates, the guy behind the Needler songs, has kicked off a new project; he’s writing songs about games, and the first one out of the box is called ‘Achievement Unlocked’. It’s not really Halo-related, but most Halo players will be able to relate – it’s pretty darned funny! It’s available for free, streaming off…

Bungie’s latest Halo Humpday didn’t go so well for them on the virtual battlefield… but they made up for it in the writeup. (This picture is priceless. Priceless, I tell you.) They played Certain Affinity, and they played on new Certain Affinity-built maps, and they got OWNED. Such is life. (And death. Quite a lot…

Omegga stopped by to point out iMega, a new tool he’s developed for HaloPC dedicated servers. Gives you a lot of the control you get with the HaloCE dedicated server.(Louis Wu 05:09:47 UTC)

Gamerscore Blog has a story about an exclusive sneak peek at a Halo 2 Vista trailer; sign up for Microsoft’s Games for Windows newsletter, get on the 24 hour sneak preview list for the trailer. (You’ll get an email when the trailer is available – no word on when that will be. I didn’t even…
