Two more Halo PC server admin tools, straight from the Gearbox forums. (Thanks to programerz for a kickass summary, btw). First up is Halo Query, a tool for Win32/Linux platforms (BSD coming soon) that will show some very pretty stats of the server. Second up is stang’s Halo Server Admin, a small app that runs…

Red vs Blue has put up a page containing some of their favorite fan-created works with the public. videos, pics, buddy icons… it’s all there. Check it out. Thanks to nof for the heads-up.

Break Point has created an Image Gallery, where community members can upload pictures of tricks and score screens for free hosting. Comments can go in this forum thread. (To date, Stuntmutt hasn’t uploaded any pictures there.)

In an attempt to have October 6 declared ‘Stuntmutt News Day’, Stuntmutt sends word that Game Revolution has reviewed Halo PC. Biggest complaints are system requirements (big surprise there) and the fact that you can’t play as the Covenant. Final score: A-.

This came in yesterday, I spaced. The Junkyard has written up a Halo PC review, covering a bunch of aspects not really touched on by other reviewers. Nice read – and you can add comments in their forum thread.

Stuntmutt found a hilariously mislabeled picture over at the Wizard Entertainment site – check the caption on the top picture. In case someone gets on the ball and fixes it before you read it, here’s a screenshot (165K).

When I first saw today’s One One Se7en, I laughed out loud. Then I went to CafePress to make it a reality. (Don’t worry, I came to my senses.)

Today’s Halo: Resolution looks at just how powerful that LAAG can be. (Powerful enough to give substance to a hologram? You bet.)

Shacknews has added Halo PC to its ShackReviews database. This means you can write a review for it there. Go make your opinion known. Thanks to Ash for the heads-up.

New ladder system for Halo PC gaming, over at Total Assault Gaming. They claim to be the first out of the gate with this.

New movie from BOLL over at HaloMods – Xbox footage of some really, really, REALLY fast vehicles. So fast that control is the major challenge. (Outrunning Wraith blasts is pretty simple…) Thanks to SourceGuy for the heads-up.

Yesterday’s One One Se7en guest strip is followed up by ANOTHER one from Devilmingy, in the same theme; this time looking at the Sidewinder Saga (which has also folded). Such is life.

Benny, from Xbox Ottawa, has put together a pretty dang funny Flash animation that seems to be the first stop-motion footage using the MC action figure I’ve seen to date. (Visit the site for details on its making.) Thanks to Marc Sutherland for the heads-up.

PVB CROUCHELLE writes (in a way that is truly painful to the eyes) about a new site devoted to a Red vs Blue spinoff called Pink vs Brown. There are no vids yet… but I guess they’re coming. Update: this news item reminded halo fan about RedvsBlack. Maybe those spinoff One One Se7ens aren’t so…

Simpsons Rule has put up a new site containing images for forum flames. (That is… images you can tack onto a forum thread to let someone know you’re unhappy with what they’ve said.) It also has other artwork of his. Take a look.

If you have a machine capable of running the Perl Object Environment, EmmEss has just released a Halo client component for it; you can query basic server info and detailed player/rule info with it. There’s an example page showing the stats you can get from it here, and comments about it can go to this…

Hehe – didn’t take long… the first PC mod has been released; it’s a 5.3 mb download, and it’s a modified version of Blood Gulch. Some of the vehicles have new skins, and the LAAG fires unlimited rockets. This sort of thing will be much easier once Sapien is released… but it’s nice to know…

Viper, over at Battleground: Halo, has written up an article about starting up a gaming clan. Pretty topical, given the number of new Halo PC clans springing up these days… go check it out!

Yesterday’s Ctrl+Alt+Del comic looked at the addictive quality of HPC yesterday. Thanks to Djof for the heads-up.

Spartaco and CCR have put together a movie called ‘A Trip To The Library’ – content is pretty obvious (a runthrough of the Library 🙂 ). It’s recorded in DivX 5.05, and weighs in at 16.1 mb. They’re hosting it themselves. For folks who haven’t yet PLAYED the Library, this movie contains spoilers.
