    RipHamilton32 submitted ‘The Denial Twist’ to the MPRRS – guy tries for girl, blows it, but gets it right the second time. SERIOUS compression – this two and a half minute, full-size movie weighs in at a paltry 7 mb. Grab it in WMP9 format or QuickTime format.(Louis Wu 12:58:14 UTC)

    Not specifically Halo-related, but our Fan Fiction community is reasonably large, so… Looks like this weekend’s Wall Street Journal had an article about the rise of fan fiction in popular media – and how Fanfic writers were even, in some cases, getting publishing deals. The article itself is only available to paying subscribers online -…

    In his latest blog entry, Narcogen takes a look at ‘boss battles’, and tries to figure out if any of the existing characters from Halo 2 would make good candidates for a Halo 3 boss battle. Interesting – but maybe the vision is too narrow?(Louis Wu 13:51:44 UTC)

    If Halo 3 were going to have boss battles, who would your opponents be? That’s an idea that occurred to me after participating in an HBO forum thread that started out talking about a rather idiotic article wondering if Halo 3 would suck, and ended up morphing into a discussion of boss battles. I’m not…
