Dual Tage Pooh and KSP
KSP SRT and |X|POOHBEAR|X| put together a dual montage - the MPRRS liked it a lot, and with good reason; solid gameplay and nice timing. Lots of BR action, lots of great grenade placement, plenty of multisnipes. 7 and a half minutes long, just over 100 mb in either WMP9 or QuickTime format - go watch it!

Putting on Skis for that Slippery Slope
It's not particularly Halo-related - but we mentioned the workshop a couple of weeks ago, so a followup seems in order. Gamasutra has a writeup of the Comedy in Games panel at the Game Writers Conference held recently. Matt Soell had quite a lot to say in it. Go read! Thanks to Narcogen, over at Rampancy.net, for picking this up. (Louis Wu 14:12:58 UTC) (permalink)
Rtas 'Vadumee, Realized
Mister Froggy decided not to wait for Joyride to release a Half-Jaw action figure... he made one himself. Check out the details in this forum post. (Louis Wu 14:05:48 UTC) (permalink)
Ouch.
BJB found a Sunday at Ten episode that gives Rules of Etiquette for Halo 2 LANs. Good stuff. (Louis Wu 13:59:28 UTC) (permalink)
So Hawaii's first?
It's been a busy few days; there've been some recent forum tidbits that got glossed over, but are worth a look. First up: Pixellated stumbled across a site devoted to lenticular clouds that contained an image that was really familiar! (Unfortunately, the larger version on the original site is no longer there.)

Bungie Gets Interviewed
Over at IGN, there are a pair of new interviews - Frankie and SketchFactor in one, Lorraine and Robert McLees in the other. I haven't had time to watch these yet (and won't before this afternoon), but there's almost certainly tasty information available for fans here. These are downloadable for IGN Insiders, streamable for everyone else. Thanks to Cocopjojo for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:43:47 UTC) (permalink)
Halogen Closes its Doors
We've been reporting on Halogen, the Halo total conversion for C&C Generals, since we first got word of it in August, 2003. Today, however, the news isn't so good - they've received a Cease and Desist order from Microsoft; the mod is being shut down. (Bungie's been making noise about stuff like this for a couple of years now; Halogen's not the first mod to be asked to close down, but it's still a hard blow when a project has been evolving for more than three years, to be told you can no longer work on it.) Our sympathies go out to the Halogen crew! (Louis Wu 13:14:40 UTC) (permalink)
Secret Ninja Stuff, and More
The Bungie Weekly Update is out - and it's pretty darned meaty this time around. There's a great interview with Eric Nylund, mostly about what got him into this whole Halo novel-writing gig in the first place... and there's spectacular Lorraine McLees cover art from the upcoming Ghosts of Onyx novel (including some armor that has more than likely ALREADY gotten our forum in a tizzy - though I don't have time to check right now). What are you reading this for? Go read the update! (You can, as usual, read it in our Weekly Update Archive if that's more convenient.) (Louis Wu 00:56:59 UTC) (permalink)
