Frankie has written up a postmortem-cum-pictures on the Bungie Winter Pentathlon 2004, featuring competition between four teams, Grizzled Ancients, Old Skool, Middle Skool and Newbies in five events: Halo 2, Top Spin, Pictionary, Mario Kart and EyeToy.
The Grizzled Ancients won the competitions for Halo 2, Mario Kart and EyeToy, earning the full five points for each to win the Pentathlon. Old Skool took second place, based on their top performances in Top Spin and Pictionary as well as taking three of five points each in Halo 2 and Mario Kart.
Congratulations to Charlie Gough, Lorraine 'Mehve' McLees and the rest of the Grizzled Ancients on their win, as well as kudos to Marty O'Donnell, Chris Butcher and the rest of the Old Skool team for their good showing.
Our favorite team, Middle Skool, distinguished themselves in neither success nor failure, despite the doubtless heroic efforts of Rampancy's founder and unofficial Halo team captain Tyson 'Ferrex' Green, pulling 3 points out of 5 for Pictionary and EyeToy (both favorites of hardcore videogaming stalwarts, of course) .
Condolences to Frankie, SketchFactor and the rest of the Newbies team, who finished last, garnering goose eggs in Halo 2, Pictionary and Mario Kart and redeeming themselves only with solo points in Top Spin and EyeToy.
