Nightmare Armor Update, Too
Wow, timing – we just got mail from Sid Garrand, of Nightmare Armor; there’s news of their work in 2 upcoming movies (2006 and 2007, he says… intriguing!), but also new shots of their armor [deleted] Update: I’m not sure I would have posted these pictures had I known that Nightmare Armor has been served…

Keep shooting till you’re stupid!
Captain Spark dropped off another 29 dialogue snippets today – brings the total up to 1532 in our Dialogue Databank, 83% of which were first submitted by him. Wow! There are some pretty hilarious ones in here – they’re all Stacker, and they were all collected with the IWHBYD skull. You can also grab these…

One Ugly Noob
Wow… this is one of the odder Halo-related sites I’ve run across. Jim Sinicropi pointed us to WannaPartyUp.com, a site devoted to collecting Halo 2 postgame lobby conversations from Xbox Live. They range from run-of-the-mill insultfests to really bizarre comments. Everything’s in mp3 format.

Pumahog Productions
A new machinima series kicked off recently – so far, there are only ‘test’ vids for download, but they’re worth keeping an eye on. Go take a look at Pumahog.com for another Red vs Blue-inspired team!

Haven’t The Foggiest.
Sigourney Weaver’s lawyers called – they’re suing One One Se7en for defamation of title.

Master Chief Skating
Silent_Pea posted a series of pics created with Jet Set Radio Future’s graffiti creator – it’s impressive what you can do in-game, with just an Xbox controller to draw with! (I added the local jpegs so that if somebody stumbles on this post in a year or two, and the larger photobucket pngs are gone,…

MC Ballerina 2
TheGhost, amused by the fact that folks thought he was faking, created another small clip of his MC Ballerina – this one’s on Sidewinder, and has shadows turned on. Available in WMP9 (3.3 mb) or QuickTime (2.5 mb). Very graceful!

NSCS incorporates the wisdom of Sun Tzu
Overswarm has sent along another batch of articles for his No So Common Sense strategy guide; you’ll find pieces on Offensive and Defensive Strategy in the Articles and Extras section, as well as a new article on Movement Techniques in the Advanced Combat Techniques section. He’s also added several questions (and answers) to the FAQ.…

War Series
Another MPRRS passer – Purebredbrute, of Halovids.com, submitted Episode 9 of the War series; the reviewers loved it. He wanted feedback, rather than hosting – so we’ll point you to his Videos page; you can start at the beginning, or you can jump in where most of us did. (The series to date eats up…

Lightbearers’ Tournaments
Father Hartley sent us a note about Lightbearers’ Tournaments, an online (Xbox Live-based) Halo 2 tournament series – you can find details at their website. The first tourney is actually today, at 2 pm Pacific time (about 3.5 hours from the time this is being written)… it’s a 2v2 Slayer event. Get on by and…

All These Things That I’ve Done
Yet another MPRRS passing vid – this one was created by Chubark, of Hollywood Halo, and has been available on halogrid.com for almost a week now (though it was only uploaded to us for review/hosting a couple of nights ago). It’s called “All These Things That I’ve Done”, and its a music vid – it’s…

I’m a Dancing Fool
Hehe – TheGhost posted a short film (3.2 mb in WMP9 format, 2.8 mb in QuickTime format – smaller because I didn’t bother to include a blank audio track) showing some pretty funny animation. A couple of forum regulars called ‘foul’ (Mig and Steve both suggested that this was rigged elsewhere, and overlaid over a…

Plant it in the Base
Patriarch917 continues his musical rampage – the latest parody on his Music page is ‘Plant it in the Base’, a send-up of Snoop Dogg’s ‘Drop it’s like it’s Hot’. He was a little worried that it wouldn’t come off right – but I say, any rap song that needs 7 footnotes can’t be all bad!…

Halogen ramping up again
crazedweasels noticed a new update over at Halogen, the C&C Generals Total Conversion. Looks like there’ll be some pretty big updates coming soon – this was just a warning.

More Comic-Con Pics
Skie has put together a nice collection of photos of the Comic-con Elite costume we mentioned a couple of times (here and here) – each pic has a source tag, showing where he found it. (Skie would love to commission the costume’s creator for a project, but cant find a way to contact him. Skie…

Coco Beans in Warm Water
Today’s VG Cats pokes fun at the whole ‘discovering sex buried in video games’ issue – Halo gets a couple of nods. Several people sent this along – looks like William McDonald was first.

Gaming Horizon looks at the MMP
Gaming Horizon has reviewed the Multiplayer Map Pack – they call it a ‘no-brainer’ twice, and their bottom line is ‘An all-around nice package’. I think they liked it.

Oh So Beautiful III
My goodness – I’m not sure what happened, but it looks like I’ve taken the last 18 hours off, with respect to this website. Sorry! First up today – a movie that passed the MPRRS a couple of days ago; a third installment of Jamie98s’ Oh So Beautiful series. This one (Oh So Beautiful III)…
