Month: December 2007

  • Goodwill Hunting.

    Stuntmutt’s 25-day Advent calendar is now complete; if you missed any days, you can access all of them from yesterday’s page. As for today, he’s back on his regular schedule, and the latest episode of One One Se7en is a combination holiday wish/groanmaker. Go read!(Louis Wu 17:47:34 UTC)

  • Outpost: Isil Episode 2

    Bzerker let us know that Outpost: Isil Episode 2 is now available at the Treeskunk website (or on YouTube). You know… if the Covenant really worked this way, the war would have been over a lot sooner. (Louis Wu 17:27:27 UTC)

  • Halo 3 among the top CG events of 2007

    CG Society ran a 2007 Retrospective on the best uses of CG in the past year, with decisions being made by community voting. Halo 3 is on the Top 20 list! Not too shabby. Thanks, CHAOS1212.(Louis Wu 15:41:24 UTC)

  • I Spy

    lAbsolutel whipped up a cute little Halo 3 short entitled ‘I Spy’. Swing by YouTube to watch it. (Louis Wu 15:37:42 UTC)

  • Halo: Last Resort

    Spartan 501 created a standalone comic (in the ‘filter a screenshot’ style) telling the story of a lone ODST Helljumper. The text is a little hard to read… but there’s a lot of work here! The entire series is hosted (41 images, over 150 panels) at Photobucket. (Louis Wu 15:36:36 UTC)

  • Crossed Swords

    The_Eliminator stopped by with some pics of a shirt he made in art class – nice work!(Louis Wu 15:34:08 UTC)

  • Aw… EW likes us.

    Looks like a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly published a feature called ‘EW 2007 Fansites of the Year’ – and the EW website posted some supplementary entries. And we’re one of ’em. Nice! Thanks, xupaosso. (Louis Wu 15:30:28 UTC)

  • She Screams in Lightish Red (and more)

    While we were offline, Elnea was busy – she posted both Episode 105 and Episode 106 of Halo Action Figure Theater in the last couple of days… and the tragedy of Steve has taken a turn for the bizarre. At least he’s not dead…(Louis Wu 15:20:48 UTC)

  • Gotta watch where you throw those grenades…

    This older clip (from early November) showed up in my Google Alerts yesterday – very nice example of how cool Saved Films can be. True karmic justice!(Louis Wu 15:17:11 UTC)

  • RHC Apocalypse

    Leader of Blind let us know that Abyss Studios has released RHC Apocalypse – you can watch it on their site, download it from Mythica, or stream it from YouTube. It’s five minutes of tiny clips (plus two minutes of credits) – many are silly, but they’re all short, and some are pretty funny. (The…

  • RT: Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas/Kwanzaa/Hanuuka Everyone! I’ve got some Ham to get back to, so i will be brief. Thanks for everything you’ve done to help support Rooster Teeth this year. We love you all (in the sexy way). Today’s comic is below, and is currently spreading…

  • Glad Tidings Be With You.

    M E R R Y   C H R I S T M A S !As usual, we’re taking Christmas off – the final day of Stuntmutt’s Advent Calendar will be up on the One One Se7en page at noon, EST, but beyond that, we’re spending the day with our families.We’ll be back updating on Wednesday, the…

  • Great halo 3 strategy guide website

    This is a great website that I’ve found with posts by real gamertags, lot of them are like General rank people.  One of the most interesting post is about “getting rid of bad habits” in practice or in actual games.  http://halowiki.net/p/Main_Page    

  • Halo 3 Meta Game Guide

    Grunts R Us has put together a complete guide to the Halo 3 Meta Game – the point-scoring option for Campaign play. Swing by for point values (and multipliers) of every enemy and activity in the game! There’s even advice about which skulls to use for getting to those meta achievements. Check it out! Thanks,…

  • The Fine Art of Suiciding

    Heh – this is pretty cool; Evlmidget25 built a Foundry map in which he and a plasma grenade start at the same point, take entirely different paths, and end at the same point. It’s a pretty complicated suicide. Check it out!(Louis Wu 12:10:49 UTC)

  • No compelling reason to buy, says PH

    Planet Halo’s mrtitan has written up a short review of the Heroic Map Pack – looks like it wasn’t a particularly good buy for him. (He liked Standoff, found Rat’s Nest fair, and hated Foundry.) Your mileage may vary.(Louis Wu 12:00:07 UTC)

  • MLC’s Armor – Chest Plate

    We got some more pics from Xavier, MLC’s friend, showing off the chest plate of MLC’s armor. The new pics start here – or you could just visit the armor page for an overview of what’s already up. More to come soon!(Louis Wu 11:57:12 UTC)

  • Waste Not, Want Not

    Elnea’s posted Episode 104 of her Halo Action Figure Theater – I’m feeling a little bad for Lois at this point. For the zombie guy, though… not so much. Take a look!(Louis Wu 11:44:12 UTC)

  • The Riot 79

    Second Foundation has posted The Riot 79 – it’s a pre-Christmas show, and shorter than usual (23 minutes, 9 mb) because they still need to do their shopping. Still plenty of goodness, though – go listen! They’ve made some (permanent) changes to their RSS feed – but they don’t have any way to automatically update…
