Rampancy

Deimos Fawkes has updated a story on the Subnova news page, indicating that their transition to a new bandwidth provider may not incur a service outage as originally thought.

CobaltNova has put up their third Public Service Announcement, this one on paranoia about cheating in PC Halo. Definitely worth a read.

...at least, not anymore. In a move that has surprised many, but was apparently a done deal awhile, long time Microsoftie Ed Fries has resigned as head of Microsoft's Game Division.

There are already quite a variety of items up around the web; some full stories, others just mentions like this one. Here's a list of the ones we've logged so far:

I didn't even know they had a Video Game category before now, but apparently they do. Littlebigman pointed out in the HBO forum that several voice credits are listed for Halo 2 in the Internet Movie DataBase. Steve Downes, Jen Taylor, and Pete Stacker are all back, as the Master Chief, Cortana, and Sgt. Banks, respectively. However, there are two interesting things about this entry: the listing of Robin Atkin Downes as the Prophet of Regret, and credits for music to both Marty O'Donnell and Martin O'Donnell. So apparently human cloning is possible, and being done at Bungie. World domination indeed.

Robin Downes previously played Commander Adama in a Battlestar Galactica videogame, as well as all the warriors in Gladius. Impressive.

Halo and Halo 2 are the only videogame credits for Steve Downes except for the role of Gunnar a game called Septerra Core.

Taylor, of course, has lots of credits under her belt (wait, does that Cortana outfit even have a belt?) including several Mario games (Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Mario Party 3 and Mario Sunshine as well as several roles in No One Lives Forever 2.

And last but not least, Stacker played Griffin in Oni but between his stints for Bungie played a Mercenary in Red Faction.
