Stuntmutt continues the MD gag in today’s One One Se7en. Yeah, he’s a lightweight.

Another video has made it through our Movie Peer Review Rating System – this one comes from TWIXMIX and Stones174 (with a little help from Bob), and gives you some ideas about what to do, and not do, in Halo 2. Astoundingly small video for the length. It’s over 7 minutes long, and weighs in…

Overswarm has put together Volume 1 of a video series he calls ‘Advanced Combat Techniques – you can find the video (about 11 mb, depending on flavor) in the Movies section of his Not So Common Sense guide. There are some fantastic tricks in here – you might have died at the hands of a…

Dennis Powers points out that QuickTime versions of all episodes of the Halo CE Chronicles are now online, in large and small sizes. If you’ve been waiting for a non-Flash, non-WMP9 format of these files… wait no more.

Eep – meant to post this last night… forgot. 🙁 Sketch wrote up the Halo Humpday Challenge at Bungie.net this week – Frankie was locked out of not just the writeup, but the game itself. Ouch! There’s an interesting tidbit at the bottom of the writeup… looks like we might get to hear about new…

New content at Halo Babies today – the second half of the Spam comic series is up (hehe – made ME chuckle), and there’s some non-Halo-related material from Gruntsbane, showing off what he does when he’s NOT drawing the Babies. Go see!

Gameplanet, in New Zealand, has more info about the winners of the Halo 2 competition in NZ last weekend (we mentioned it Sunday) – turns out the top 2 players are headed to Sydney, not just the top player.

Wow. One of these days, I need to pay attention to our rules; they’re set up for a reason. When we automated our Links section, we got over a hundred submissions in the first few days – we set up a rule saying ‘no more front-page mentions for new sites’ because we didn’t want the…

Almost 2 weeks ago, Alan James sent us new pictures of his under-construction Master Chief Suit – this time, it’s arm (or leg?) pieces. Apologies for taking so long to get them up… check ’em out, and follow along with the progress!

AiDcomics has seen a niche, and decided to fill it. They’re offering hosting for Halo-based comics (that meet their guidelines). If you pen a Halo-based comic, but have trouble finding a home for it… these guys can help you out. Read the news post on the main page for details!

bitterbanana has gotten a Spectator Chasecam working in HaloCE; you can see a short video of it (AVI format, 3.7 mb) in action on the Gearbox forums. Still a bit jerky… but it’s early yet. Thanks, MasterGrief.

Fozma points out an interview with Alex Seropian about Stubbs the Zombie, Wideload’s Halo-engined game, in the May issue of Edge magazine. My copy hasn’t arrived yet, so I can’t discuss it… but hey, Edge is good stuff!

13 new pieces (stories and poems) in the Fan Fiction section since Monday. Go read!

Another interview up over at MLGPro.com – this one with GandhiTheGreat, a jock by day, a video game geek at night. Go read about the Gandhi Hop! Thanks, James Schneider.

trigger119 wrote to say that a new trailer for The Avenger has been posted at halomachinima.com, in the Action/Drama section. (This is probably a good time to point out that the Movies section of that site has been rearranged by category, to make films easier to find.) The trailer is pretty short, and makes no…

The latest in the series of Narc’s Retorts is up over at Rampancy.net – Narcogen takes American society to task for suggesting that violence is equivalent to sex in the context of ‘things that are bad for our kids’. (This is also the subject of a sizeable thread on our forum, as well – both…

Phan7om posted a note on our forum about last night’s Halo Humpday Challenge; he knows about it because he played in it. (This week, the High Impact Halo admins and forum mods took on Bungie – and lost.) Bungie’s writeup isn’t posted yet – but Phan7om’s forum post contains links to all three games. Hard…

It’s amazing how easy it is for things to get away from you. Last week, we put up a gallery for the Halo-related art of Bryn Casey. The same day, his brother posted on our forum, with a NEW picture… and I’m just now getting around to adding it to the gallery. Time… it’s an…

HALOChat posted a bunch of links to the Cyberathlete Professional League – seems they’re moving to a 4v4 format for their Halo 2 tourney, instead of the original 5v5. Many more details, including location and date, can be found in the forum post.

Nick points out a new update about Prometheus, the multi-version editor in development. A bunch of questions answered (mostly bringing expectations back into line with reality), a set of new screenshots. Go look!
