Rampancy

I'll take a look at the results of last week's poll later tonight, but before I'm gone, here's a new poll for you addicts out there: what brought you to Halo?

How did you hear about the game, and become a part of the community (or aware of it, if you try to keep yourself out of our crazed ranks)? Not the most controversial topic, of course, but a good information source. I suspect most readers will opt for the Older Game choice, having come from older game communities like Myth or Marathon...

Bungie has made Chimera available for download, as promised, so if your connection can choke back all 96 megs of this scenario pack, bon appetit. Mirrors should be appearing all over the net soon, too, just in case you're having trouble with Bungie's server.

I would also like to take this opportunity to announce my willingness to eat my own leg if someone can beat all of these levels on co-op Legendary, no casualties...

Mojo sends word that Militia with a long sighted new focus (let's hope his predictions are right ;), and finally, Halo-Net has also shown signs of renewed life. Must be something in the air...

Butcher has pointed out an interesting article at Gamasutra, about the role played by shame and glory in online multiplayer games. An excellent article that makes several very good points, and definitely worth a read (even if it isn't directly related to Halo).
