We don’t usually post pre-written press releases from other Halo sites – but That Weasel TV ain’t just any other site, and this seems pretty cool. Straight from Ferret Boi himself:That Weasel Television is proud to unleash the *New* Movie News Section. Now, not only can you have your video hosted by TWTv, but you…

MLGPro.com continues their pro series interviews with a chat with IGameSpot, the team that took second place at MLG Orlando. Money, rivalries, and Halo – it’s like a soap opera. Thanks, trigger119.

Eep – forgot to post this… The Necrosis trailer we mentioned yesterday has been mirrored and converted to QuickTime – you can find both versions at Gearboxgamezone.com. Thanks, Dennis!

Logical2u points out a new update at the Halogen website – model shots of the new units they’ve added to the C&C Generals Total Conversion. Visit to see the Firefly, the Cobra tank, and the Ghost.

We got mail yesterday from Vampire Flight, who’s posted a trailer to an upcoming Machinima project called FATALrecon over at HaloGrid.com. It’s 28.2 mb, WMP9 format, and I liked it – so I converted it to QuickTime, using Apple’s new H.264 codec. Grab the WMP9 from HaloGrid, or grab the QuickTime (QuickTime 7 REQUIRED, 27.5…

Overswarm has updated his Not So Common Sense Strategy Guide with two new vids; these are 4v4 games on Midship (one CTF, one Team Slayer). They come with commentary, letting you know what OS thought was done right, what could have been done better. Watch ’em – and then try out some of the strategies…

After a month and a half of quiet, Tina Leyk returns with a stunning image from the opening of Uprising. What a combination of beauty and sinister overtones! You can find it on her (newly-rearranged) Fan Art page – new artwork is now at the beginning, instead of the end.

Eleven new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section today… see what you can find!

Comics, comics… Last Stand was updated with Page Fourteen yesterday, and w00tness found a new home; every time we mentioned the strip, the page would go down for bandwidth issues… so we Did The Right Thing, and offered space. I’m sure, once I get to the forum, that there’ll be half a dozen other comics…

Thursday marks the one year anniversary of Halo CE, and Sir Bobbington and friends are organizing a party. You can read about it on the Gearbox forums – join ’em online and see if you can help push the player total over 1000 simultaneous users!

Walshicus pointed out a BBC article looking at future revenue streams for game-makers (using Halo 2, and the new maps, as an example). This is a bit misleading; Bungie is hardly the first Xbox developer to charge for after-release content… but I suppose when you’re one of the biggest, folks notice. And the concept of…

MLGPro.com has posted an interview with Team 3D – formerly StK, one of the best-known pro Halo teams on the circuit. Ever wonder what makes these guys tick? Go read. Thanks, Quinion.

Today’s One One Se7en is slightly less appropriate than it would have been before the Auto-Update kicked in… but any reference to ‘My Old Man’s A Dustman’ is okay with me.

Veegie posted a note on our forum about a new HaloCE map he’s been working on – there are pictures over the EPG forums. Lots of cool dynamic lighting! Take a look.

GrantBauer88 posted a note that Necrosis Episode 1 has been released – you can find it on the Necrosis video page. It’s the first Halo machinima I know about that takes advantage of our Dialogue Databank to circumvent the problem many projects have with less-than-professional-sounding voice acting. (At least, I’m ASSUMING the clips came from…

The first wave of MLG Orlando gameplay (the last pre-AutoUpdate Halo 2 gameplay footage out there, probably) has been posted on MLG’s Video on Demand service – you can watch Str8 Rippin upset Check 6, or follow the Winners Bracket Finals. (There’s more coming in a few days.) Thanks to 3Suns for the heads-up.

Nick writes to point out that Prometheus, the Halo/Halo2/HaloCE editor in production, has another update, with screenshots, sarcasm, and a small vid. Go look!

Over at Bungie.net, Stosh points out some Halo-based poetry at halotournies.com. Scary stuff!

Grant writes to say that the Home Front mod for Battlefield 2 (which will be launching on May 29), is offering a small Lego Halo kit for free – download it, print it out, and attach it to a lego figure for your own PoA crew member. (Click on the Staff tab to see it.)

Über-Chief 69 has put up episode 13 of Resolute. I don’t get it – but then, I don’t need to. Go see for yourself.
