A Tribute to Halo 2
Top Cat Productions submitted ‘A Tribute to Halo 2’ to the MPRRS, and its combination of wacky humor, strange situations, and surreal transitions convinced the reviewers to give it a thumbs-up. It’s pretty long (almost 19 minutes, but still weighs in at about 50 mb… amazing! Grab a copy in WMP9 format (53.2 mb) or QuickTime format (47.9 mb).

Excuses, excuses…

Chacun a son gout.
Darkendes found a review of Halo 2 on a site aimed at helping parents find good media for their kids – and MAN, did they not like the game. “A storyline only slightly above average and so-so graphics” – they don’t think it’s just bad for kids, they think it’s bad. Period. Ouch!

Advanced Warfighter
From HBO
This video, created by MaritalBlaze54, mimics the Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter trailer as closely as possible in Halo 2. Using audio from the trailer and video from Halo is definitely a unique combo, and the cross-com looks pretty cool to boot!
PSP – 8MB 
Pocket PC – 3.4MB 
iPod – 4MB

Pitiful, eh?
Heh – Weird Al Yankovic’s latest song, ‘You’re Pitiful’, takes a shot at Halo 2 players – it’s available for download (for now, anyway) on his site. Direct link is in KiGlow’s forum post.

Podtacular gives Bungie a flying elbow smash
WE WON! It was an awesome series of games and we all had a blast. The whole thing was recorded, so we’ll have a news story with screenshots sometime soon. It will probably be after Bungie releases their story of the match to respect Frankie’s mad writing skillz. We will probably release video highlights on the podcast feed as well if that’s OK with Bungie. Big thanks to everyone at Bungie and Podtacular that made this happen, and I can’t wait to fill everyone in on the details!

Clanmatch Communities
Now with Clanmatch removed from the playlists, some clans are very frustrated and tossing their controllers against the walls. Although, as long as Bungie allows clans to represent their social network by letting players have a clan name there is still a way to do Clanmatches!

Team SWAT’s what!
After just 24 hours online, the new playlist Team SWAT has already eclipsed Team Snipers as the second most popular matchmaking playlist, and is within a hair’s breadth of beating Team Slayer, the most popular matchmaking playlist ever.

An unpleasant warning
My local connection is having problems; the one of the routers here is seeing lots of errors. My service provider needs to do some ‘intrusive testing’ to nail down where the problem is; what that means for you is that everything on that connection will be offline from roughly 1 am eastern (5 am UTC) through as late as 5 am eastern. This includes the forum – but does NOT include the main site, or the Story page. (It includes the fan fiction forum, though not the fan fiction section, and it includes the clan forum.) I’m sorry – but the end result should be better for all.
