Episode 3 of the machinima series The Codex has been posted. It’s called “Aftermath”, and it’s available in Quicktime format for now; with Divx and WMV versions coming soon. The plot thickens…

To sleep, perchance to dream… or to play. Check today’s One One Se7en for deep philosophical meaning. Or not. Pax.

Somebody was messing around in one of the sub-basements where some of the servers are. This somebody apparently spilled their drink, or possibly some soup, all over a bunch of arcane equipment I can’t understand. Anyway, some sections here are offline for awhile, like Tips, the Story Page, and maybe some others. I blame Crux.

Deep thanks to Mike Miller, who submitted his Oracle chapter of the Halo 2 Legendary Walkthrough early enough that Louis could format it and prepare it for the masses before he left. Because of Mike’s consideration, you can read it on time, today, rather than at the end of this week. This level contains the…

OK, you naggers finally have your new Mailbag. Can I go back to sleep now?

A number of people have written to point out that tech news site Slashdot has posted a rather belated review of Halo 2. They give it an 8 out of 10, and also comment on the MagicBox XFPS, another adapter that lets you plug a keyboard and mouse into an Xbox (it gets a 6…

Unable to pass up a golden opportunity, and with a bunch of other great stuff to boot, Jillybean takes time out from her busy schedule to update the Story Page once again.

That’s it – I’m out. My family and I are on vacation for the next few days; I’ll be back Thursday night. There’s a chance I might find a few minutes to add stuff here and there (mostly late evening)… but the bulk of the updating job is going to be taken on by mnemesis…

Hogmasta put together a Halo 2 gameplay vid called ‘Broken’. Lots of folks on our forum liked it – but Hogmasta was pretty afraid of the bandwidth rush. Two kind souls have leapt to his aid – PLEASE, use these links instead of Hogmasta’s. Thanks to the DJ, of HaloImpulse (hmm… that link doesn’t seem…

Stuntmutt pins down a nagging paradox in today’s One One Se7en.

Fourteen new stories for you in the Fan Fiction section today – and an apology. There was a story in German I needed to reject – we made a rule almost two years ago that we’d only accept fan fiction in English, just from an administrative perspective… but I never added that to the rules…

Recently, we posted a bunch of pictures of a Master Chief suit created by Alan James – today, we’ve got a helmet from Germain Couët. It’s possible he’ll continue with the rest of the suit – but for now, he’s got some nice headgear!

Some of you may have noticed that the Halo Story page had some strange rearranging of news posts. We had a database glitch, and needed to input a few lost records – the upshot is that the newest entries, from mnemesis, are now well down the page below Jillybean’s recent work. They’re the last two…

TheTaintedOne has created a pretty massive gameplay vid; it’s 12:22 long, in widescreen format. Timing is quite good; composition does a nice job of moving you from kill type to kill type. Movie ends with another melee-only oddball clip (just like the very first release I ever saw from TheTaintedOne) – all in all, if…

I HATE making posts like this one – but I think it’s become necessary. Recently, we’ve received a mountain of video announcements and submissions; some bits are quite good, and we’re happy to host them, or point them out if others are hosting them. Others are not great, but okay… and as long as they…

Outpost: Coagulation was announced last night – there’s a trailer and Episode 1. (The trailer was sent in a few days ago – I apologize, it got lost in the shuffle.) Heavily inspired by Red vs Blue, it’s the story of a team of Spartans on Coagulation, living and working under the threat of Covenant…

Yesterday, we posted BitTorrent links to synide’s MLG DC Aftermath vid – and almost a thousand people grabbed a copy. Those torrents are still open, and seeded nicely; if you want the vid, and have access to BitTorrent, this is really the fastest way to get it. If, however, you can’t use (or don’t want…

The HBO Helljumpers are holding a tourney – rules and details can be found here. If you’re European, and you’re interested… swing by their forum – there’s plenty of room!

MasT3r would like very much if you’d take a look at his gameplay vid, currently hosted at That Weasel Television. Gameplay is decent… but it’s pretty long (9:35, with more than the first half devoted to slayer-type play on Lockout). 39.5 mb, WMP9 format. There are a couple of threads on our forum for comments…

There’s a new Public Service Announcement posted over at Red vs Blue – it’s called ‘Cold and Flu Season’, and it uses the RvB team to pin down what causes the illnesses we come down with around this time of year, and some of the best ways of combating them. Well, okay, not the BEST…
