gwdp….to went on a movie-posting spree last night; he was kind enough to organize all the links in one post. They’re all pretty small (none of them are over 7.5 mb) and show a variety of things. Descriptions can be found in the thread that post resides in, if the movie’s not self-explanatory enough for…

In the continuing process of clearing out the Movie queue, we’ve got a 14.7 mb QuickTime for you of the second episode of Salmon vs Teal, the first Red vs Blue parody. It’s 4:3 long, and ranges from hilarious to totally incomprehensible. Take a look! (This was released on the RvB forums almost 3 weeks…

Darksage was playing some Rockets-only Race with a bud, who tags him first, but then Darksage gets revenge with a pretty amazing shot. It’s 22 seconds long – the first 15 seconds are only there to prove that the shot wasn’t set up ahead of time. It’s only 1.4 mb – check this out for…

dolbex reminds everyone that early registration for Halo50K2 ends this Saturday; if you register now, you save $100 on the team’s fees. If you’re gonna be there, think of all the beer you can buy with $100!

Do you consider yourself a Halo god? Could you stand to be $20 richer (in shwag)? guy who doesn’t post…too often has a challenge for you – get a live Master Chief into the separated room, behind the glass, in Chill Out, and he’ll pay you for it. Read the details in this forum post.

Hehe – you knew this would happen, didn’t you? Today’s One One Se7en shows pretty clearly why the MC needs to get his sorry self back out on the battlefield… pronto. I blame Jason.

Well, Mythica’s up to 18.2 Mbit/sec (35 gigs in the past 11 hours), so what the heck – here’s another movie for you. This one hasn’t actually been released anywhere, yet. It’s called ‘Hall of the Sidewinder King’, and it tells the story of a red soldier (well, pink) getting the flag. Set nicely to…

Sam writes to point out a Halo tournament in the Kansas City area, at the National Video Gaming League on August 2. Top prize is $500. More information can be found at Team Viper’s Bungie.net chapter.

Do you find yourself using our forum without actually figuring out whether your time would be better spent checking for the answer in FAQs first? c0ld vengeance is working on a new site feature that might help.

Derek Tick points out a link to Evolution Gaming’s Summer Leagues, a Milwaukee, WI Halo-playing group. They list full stats for each member of each 3-man team (there are 8 of them) – it’s not clear what all the acronyms are, but it’s for certain that they’re serious about ranking their players. Check it out!

Devin Olsen and Goatrope submitted three new maps to the Weapons Respawn Times chart in our Miscellaneous section. This leaves only Boarding Action and Chiron in the completely untested column. Nice going, guys!

Captain Spark turned in another 25 dialogue snippets – we’ve added them to the Dialogue Databank. I’ve also added some sorting functions – you can see new material by simply sorting the full page by date, reversed. Update: Jamirus99 has added 4 new Marines quotes – they’re listed at the bottom here. Update 2: Two…

Woohoo! Mythica.org, which has been down since June 19 (that’s just short of three weeks ago, for you movie-starved folks), is back up and running! We’re going to be attempting to clear the rather substantial movie backlog over the next week or so… we’ll start with the longest-waiting movies. First up: Too Many Vehicles, a…

The Bungie Jobs page has gotten another entry – they’re looking for a Contract Graphic Artist/Illustrator to help with the upcoming Bungie.net facelift. There are definitely some HBO community members with the skills for this one… Thanks to SketchFactor for the heads-up.

After a 4 month hiatus, the Bungie Comics page gets an update, thanks to mehve… I’m not sure I’d want to be in that bar after that last frame.

Thanks to dolbex and BOLL, who together got the forum back to 4BitterGuys.com, and a Halo drinking game (complete with artwork). I wonder if the RvB guys ever played this?

Captain Spark recently submitted over 125 dialogue samples, in mp3 format. We’ve decided to use these to start a dialogue databank. Check out what’s already there… and if you’ve got the equipment (and the interest), follow the instructions on the page for sending in NEW snippets! Suggestions are always welcome. Update: Wraith has submitted three…
