As you (should) know by now, Halo 3 is coming out very shortly on September 25 and is going to be the biggest opening day of… well anything. And while you are waiting for Halo 3 to be officially released here is something that will keep you occupied.

The Paper Master Chief!

Thats right, your vary own Master Chief made out of paper. It does take some assembly but it looks really cool. Just download a pdf from the site. Print it out. Cut it out. Then follow the instructions. Enjoy!

The World Series of Video Games has officially announced that it is shutting down. Despite strong support in the gaming community, the reason for the shut down is stated on their web site by saying, “…the continuing challenges of securing adequate revenues to sustain the production of the WSVG’s large scale events and television programming, in a very crowded field of competitive gaming leagues, has prompted us to re-evaluate our direction as an organization.”

It is no surprise to me that this happened. To start, it is still a new concept that only a small portion of the population even acknowledge as a, for lack of better word, sport. Unlike say… football with millions of followers.

One big problem that the gaming leagues are having is that there are too many leagues for its size. In my opinion, the community might do better if they follow the structure of the EA Sports Madden Challenge. In Madden, a single game is promoted for a national championship, unlike in the gaming leagues where multiple games are played. That way it is more modeled after physical sports where there are separate organizations for each sport.
