Time for some thrilling heroics.
Yesterday, a rag-tag bunch of HBO regulars joined together to take on the Alliance – erm, 343 Industries – in a match of Snap Shot (snipers only, and no-scopes are the only way to score) on Haven. They emerged victorious. You can watch the archived 343 livestream to see the game from L Askan’s perspective (start at 2:23:00 for our match), or you can watch it through the eyes (and guns) of NartFOpc, who led our team to a 500-360 win.(Louis Wu 18:02:14 UTC)

ASE Ep. 81: This Side Towards Enemy
As we’re handed off from the deactivated Durandal to the mysterious Robert Blake, we switch from switching off an AI to trying to switch one on.
Apologies for the video quality here; for a few episodes now we’ve been trying out the MP4 export feature of the latest Aleph One beta; while it works well, quality varies quite a bit, seemingly dependent on how dark a level is and what textures it uses. Next episode we go back to regular screen capture.
