Year: 2006

It’s much easier to watch Windows Media Player content on Macs than it used to be… but for those who’d still rather have QuickTime, we’re making the RvB Sargeisms movie available in QT format (High | Low). This one KP doesn’t get to steal away. (That boy might need his keys revoked, now that he’s…

There’s a new article on Bungie.net interviewing Red vs. Blue’s Burnie Burns. The interview covers the new season, some info on their studios and an exclusive clip from the Season 4 DVD. Congratulations go to the mighty KP on the first post on the forums and the first news post.

HaloMan sent in word of another tourney this weekend – this one in northern Virginia. Hosted by C3CyberClub, Sterling, VA, 4v4 double elimination, $100/team, prizes to be announced. More details on this page.

AJ Ardovino pointed out an article entitled ‘The End For All’, over at Dead Man’s Hand – it asks the question “does Halo’s popularity impact the success rate of other games?” Are other XBL games failing because too many people are playing Halo instead of exploring what else is out there? You could also ask…

darthbob pointed out a thread on the Gearbox Forums with some pretty intriguing pictures – a Halo CE mod with lots of tweaks to emulate eyecandy in the Halo 3 trailer. Check it out!

Today’s One One Se7en was guest-written by c0ld vengeance, and looks at one of the more entertaining side effects of Halo 2’s helpful user interface. (Entertaining, that is, if you’re not the person involved.)

Heh… bizarre. Thomas Gonzalez used Google’s Trend Labs to compare search interest in Halo vs George Bush. I’m not sure what it says about us, but in every region of the world, in every city tracked, in every language… more people search for Halo info than for George Bush info. Update: Taugosz pointed out that…

r2 writes to point out a Halo 2 tourney coming up this weekend – May 27, at SubZero Games LAN Center in West Palm Beach, FL. 2v2 Team Slayer MLG Rules, $40 to get in $400 for first place. Directions and contact info can be found here.

Shane Kim sat down with IGN to talk about E3 and what’s coming down the road. Halo got mentioned a lot – there’s nothing really hard there, but there’s discussion of Halo 3 (and the platforms it might be available on), the Halo movie, a rumored Halo MMO, the possibility of a Halo-based Xbox Live…

Heh – I’m not one to talk, but I have to snicker a bit that Stuntmutt took time out from his Caribbean honeymoon to update his blog; some One One Se7en musings on marriage and traveling. (No, this doesn’t count as today’s One One Se7en; that’s coming a bit later.)

xbryboyremix sent along ‘Mission: Leave No Man Behind’, a standalone machinima telling the story of three survivors attempting to make it home from enemy territory – the MPRRS liked it. You can grab a copy in WMP9 format (40.6 mb) or QuickTime format (40.5 mb)… it’ll move you!

You know… I’m thinking it’s gonna be news when Halo 2 ISN’T the top game on Xbox Live. That’s not this week, though…

prometheus points out that there’s a new gallery, devoted to the HUDless shots of TGOSeraph, over at The Halouvre; some killer stuff in there! Check it out.

Was sorting through the HBO Uploads directory (it’s been a while – sorry), and amongst the spec scripts (yeah, someone thinks we’re that HBO) and the dozens of movies (is that huge banner at the top of the upload page that says ‘don’t upload movies here’ REALLY that hard to read?) and the rather large…

BOLL tossed up a simple (but rather disturbing) Flash comparison of… well, go look.

Jared Morrison has begun work on a wearable MJOLNIR armor outfit – designed for his sister. He sent us a picture of the underbody of the chestplate, which he plans on fiberglassing down the road. He credits Chris Bryan with inspiration; if there’s interest, he’ll send along progress reports. Great start!
