Month: April 2003

[]D[]V[]FL3X (who’s posted as PM-Flex in the past) has created a Mountain Dew spoof; you can find a 5.5 MB QuickTime version at mythica. If you haven’t seen the original, entitled ‘Drive’, visit Mountaindew.com and watch it. Update: It’s now also available in its original DivX-encoded .avi format (8.1 mb).

Akilo posted a very funny Monty Python spoof on our forum last night. It was originally available in WMP7 format (4.1 mb, now moved to Mythica.org). Lion converted it to MPEG format (4.1 mb, from Lion’s server) – but there seem to be some timing issues with it. I’ve made another version, QuickTime this time…

Slith found a new Halo-related comic, over in Sweden. Check out his forum post.

Three new pieces of artwork for you today, including a pretty impressive rendering of the MC (in a scene from the Halo 2 Trailer). Check ’em out in the Miscellaneous Art section!

Desktop submissions are light these days (at least attributed ones – there are a bunch in our ftp directory with no names attached). Check the Wallpaper section for one with a labeled creator.

And again, 7 entries as today’s Fan Fiction haul… Stowaway Part 1, by Dispraiser Humanity’s Last Hope: Prolouge, by Ishkabibbl Battle of Croton: Chapter 2 – At least we’re not dead…yet, by Earl Hershberger (Jester) / Trevor White (Boxer) Halo: 11th Strategic Interceptor Wing: Scourge of the Gods, by LordofDestruction The Defense of Earth 5:…

Whoa. AotCR as a Monty Python analogue? Check it out.

A short teaser from c0ld vengeance (creator of the Haliens movie) – check out Predator. 6.5 mb, DivX format. (Warning: foul language.) Let us know if a QuickTime version is needed… Update: Seems the demand for a QT version is bigger than I expected. Here’s a copy at Mythica (2.2 mb).

Eclarap writes to say that Episode 2 (along with the rest of the Red vs. Blue video) continues to be mirrored at Halo-Game, in France… a viable option for anyone in Europe. (It’s also available, obviously, at the Red vs Blue site for everyone, not just registered users.)

After a small dry spell with respect to movies, we’ve gotten a truckload submitted in the last couple of days – we’ll start you out with something small. This one’s from Maverick J, a trickster who’s been around for a bit (but only recently active in the HBO community). It’s called CTF Flag Getting 101…

Emildux has written up a summary of a 16-player 5-kill-max match with $100 on the line… check it out.

Recently, BOLL added yet another cool Flash animation to his Halo-related stable. You can see it in our forum, or you can check it out on its own in our Miscellaneous section. (The animation itself is tiny – 12k.) They make me giggle…

Episode 2 of Red vs. Blue is out for registered viewers; if you’ve registered on their forum, go and grab it. (If you haven’t registered, it’ll be posted publicly in about 10 hours.) And remember, if you haven’t seen the first few pieces, go now and download them – they’re quite funny.

A couple of months ago, we posted a note about a tournament sometime this summer in Arkansas. The Elite Spartan writes to say that due to lack of sponsors, the tourney is off.

SketchFactor has posted some information over at Bungie.net about the upcoming FanFest to take place at E3. The limit of 200 attendees has been reached, but a few of them haven’t provided valid contact information; these will be dropped from the list on Monday if this doesn’t change, making those spots available. Additionally, if plans…

Forerunners.org is holding another giveaway – this time it’s a halo T-shirt. Visit giveaways.forerunners.org and fill out the form – by early May, you could be wearing a free T. (Check out tBC’s always-entertaining writeup here.) Deadline is April 30th.

Whoa. Randy Glass, creator of the Warthog Jump, has posted a pretty detailed layout for a Halo level, complete with maps and (he says cheesy, I don’t agree) drawings. He built this as part of an application for a Bungie position as Mission Designer (sadly, he didn’t get the job). 3 MB PDF file. If…

That Weasel sends in not one, but two mirrors for Dead Rabbits – as well as mirrors for the cleaned-up versions of Blood Gulch Ballet, and MoreHackinFun (a modded-xbox movie). You’ll find them ALL on his HBO Mirror page. Very cool! (We’ll put together a mirror list for DR sometime today.)
