Well, it looks like our efforts at the E3.Stomped.Com poll weren't in vain, despite the crash and the horrible Diablo II victory afterward. John Callaham of Stomped.Com is offering a free copy of Halo, Diablo II and TeamFortress 2 to the one person who can tell him, in 25 words or less, why he or she deserves to win.
It's that time of week again. A little shy of 300 votes in last week's poll, in which people people were asked how they pronounce the word gibs :
The Electric Death, formerly known as the Blazing Electric Death Klan, notified us that their website has moved to a new location. Here's their PR: .
After all of the discussion following some statements by Joe Staten, Matt Soell clarified matters in the forum at Halo.Bungie.Org. It is not that Bungie decided to throw away large chunks of code... Halo is just a game in continual development. Anyway, go read it for yourself.
As was pointed out on the forum, www.bungie.net is hinting at a super-secret surprise project early next week. The begins with a big C think Bungie's webmokey Yeroen was hinting at recently, or perhaps something else? Hmm... something to report on next week, perhaps. Stay tuned!
Kudos to The Rock, who has transcribed and posted a portion of a post MWSF interview with Bungie's Joseph Staten, conducted by Inside Mac Games. Sadly, there's no new--wait a second, there is some new information here! Here's the interesting excerpt:
CyberBob of Halo World let us know about a new German Halo site named Planet-Halo. The owner specifies in his PR that they are not part of the GameSpy/PlanetFoo empire. Currently, they're located at http://planet-halo.splatterworld.de, but they will soon be moving to http://www.planet-halo.de. Welkommen!
Both Neticule and Virgil of Alloygaming.Com contacted us. First of all, their central gaming site has a new Halo preview up. Keep that salt-shaker handy for a few inaccuracies and some very funny statements. Second, they are hosting a new Halo site named Orbit. Alloy Gaming does have a nice look to it. We wish them luck and welcome Orbit to the Halo community.
