Go. Pro. Whoa?
Dolbex at Been Mawed gets props for noticing this New York Daily News article on professional game players, but doubts the article's assertion that Major League Gaming is a larger group than the CPL.
They Know You'll Buy Halo Anyway
With the interesting tagline above, CompUSA has announced their Halo VIP Contest, where the grand prize package includes VIP treatment at the CPL Winter 2003 event, participation in Nvidia's Halo tourney, a free PC game every month in 2004, and an Nvidia prize pack. All you have to do is preorder Halo for $49.99. We report; you shop.
Xbox Sales Get A Boost
The second generation console wars are over, you say? Somebody forgot to tell Microsoft.
Perhaps largely on the strength of the Xbox Live online service, sales trends for the Xbox are on the upswing, up 6% quarter on quarter, compared to 22% and 35% drops for the Nintendo GameCube and the Sony Playstation 2, respectively. Sony still has a commanding lead in market share, however, but the Xbox is making gains.
Sales of the XBL kit were up 17% in August, and eight more countries in Europe and Asia are due to come online soon.
Cartographobia
The Silent Cartographers, a PC Halo mapmaking group, have got their website up now. They have 14 members and list several projects on their project page, including four new maps, one called "Aquaphobia", a clear reference to similarly named levels in Bungie games, such as Phforaphobia in Marathon and Gephyrophobia in PC Halo.
Halo Images From The Neon City
Matt at Break Point Halo has put up a page of images from the LVGA event in Las Vegas; he says a writeup will come later.
Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Make Me A Match
Zandervix over at MBO has posted a note on the availability of Myth Browser v1.81; it runs on Windows and Mac OS X (requires X11) and allows you to browse Myth games running on PlayMyth and Marius.net.
He Lives To Transcribe
BGH forumgoer Noctaurus has produced a more complete and accurate transcription of the X03 video that came out earlier this week; thanks TankRamp at BGH.
Westlake's Sulak, Oliver Spill The Beans
HBO's Louis Wu got Westlake president Phil Sulak to provide the most up-to-the-minute info on the status of the Mac Halo port; in addition, Blackstar pointed out an interview with Westlake's Brad Oliver at IMG that tangentially mentions that Mac Halo is such a "complicated beast" that it requires three programmers to port. Hmm.
The HBO interview has some great info in it, namely:
Multiple Perspectives On Specifications
Want specs for PC Halo? There's a bunch: the official PC Halo site, and the other... official... PC Halo site... uh.. anyway. Most of the info is the same, except it's more specific in some areas. Apparently you can run Halo under Windows 98. Well, I'll be damned, it's good for something!
