Some of us have a harder time resisting temptation than others. Stuntmutt feels your pain – check today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 17:26:21 UTC)

Dry Ice found an interesting building in Dubai. See what you think!(Louis Wu 17:19:33 UTC)

Double News Postage – RVideo also submitted a new piece of work to the MPRRS recently. The first time through, it seems that most of the reviewers didn’t get what he was doing. He overhauled the entire piece, incorporating some of the advice they’d given – and though some STILL didn’t get it the second…

QsK King submitted his clanmate’s montage to the MPRRS – they liked it. It seems to end rather abruptly… but other than that, it’s a pretty nice piece of work. Almost 6 minutes long, available in WMP9 format (74.1 mb) or QuickTime format (73.1 mb).(Louis Wu 15:08:30 UTC)

Dolbex pointed out a post on Major Nelson’s blog announcing a new Halo Trilogy theme for the Xbox360 – “Each blade presents a re-imagined view from the Halo universe, including all three iterations of the Master Chief’s iconic Spartan armor, from past, present and future.” 150 points, or free with the purchase of a Halo…

Thanks to Saint, who noticed (heh) that the UNSCDF Fan Fiction Contest winners have been posted; congrats to the 5 winners (including Saint), each of whom will receive a signed copy of Ghosts of Onyx.(Louis Wu 14:17:16 UTC)

A couple of months ago, RVideo reversed some Jackal dialogue snippets, and did a nice job of remodulating them to be audible. We said, at the time, that we would add them to the Dialogue Databank at some point. Things, as usual, got in the way, and it never happened. Today, he stopped by with…

Queef58 submitted ‘Angels and Airwaves – The Adventure Music Video’ to the MPRRS – the song, set to Halo. Heavy compression makes for small download sizes! Grab it in WMP9 format (24.3 mb) or QuickTime format (28 mb).(Louis Wu 23:08:31 UTC)

Sigafoos writes about WikiRiot Ep 22, now available – clan highlights, discussions of scans, and more. 26 minutes, 10 mb. Go grab a copy.(Louis Wu 17:59:50 UTC)

Mintz wrote about Halo bookmarks, now available at Halo: Portable. Digital devices are so yesterday, dude. They’re back to the cutting-edge medium – paper.(Louis Wu 17:57:34 UTC)

Z pointed out a couple of fun montage vids over at Halo3Forum.com – Typo’s First Montage (123 mb, WMP9 format) has tons of nice gameplay strung together well, and GuN Sh0t’s Montage 2 Trailer is a short (90 second, 28 mb, WMP9 format) hi-intensity trailer leaving you wanting more. Apparently, there are many more to…

The second movie to clear yesterday was a trailer called ‘Jarhead Halo’ – Cydex took the Jarhead trailer, and set it to Halo footage. Resolution leaves something to be desired these days, but it’s a nice piece of work; well synched. WMP9 is 10.3 mb, QuickTime is 9.3 mb.(Louis Wu 16:22:55 UTC)

A couple of movies passed through the MPRRS yesterday – you KNOW I’m sick if I can’t keep up with THOSE guys! (I kid, I kid – they’ve been great recently.) The first was Elite vs Elite 4, another short Spy vs Spy parody. Great sound effects – keep an eye on EternalScrappy! Grab this…

Wow, things are REALLY slipping through the cracks. Yesterday’s One One Se7en got 75% of the way through the news posting process – but no further. I guess I passed out there somewhere. Anyway, it’s up now. Apologies for the delay. I suppose, after reading it, some of you might choose to send me nasty…

We’ve received multiple reports that local Barnes and Noble booksellers have gotten early shipments of Ghosts of Onyx – if you’re lucky, you might find one in your area, too!(Louis Wu 06:53:48 UTC)

Red vs Blue Episode 81, Sibling Arrivalries, is now available for download by Sponsors – I’m lovin’ the new character. If you’re a freeloader, you can grab this (as usual) on Sunday evening or so – otherwise, grab a copy now. Thanks to LX925, who pointed it out on our forum.(Louis Wu 06:51:20 UTC)

This puppy passed through my inbox today – I’m having trouble visualizing a situation where I didn’t think I’d thrown away $400 if I bought one, but one man’s trash…(Louis Wu 06:49:49 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update discussed some Halo 3 matchmaking tests (cool to see that sort of thing happening at this stage), and commented on (sort of) a couple of the Halo news bits that came out this week. Light, but hey, they’re busy guys! You can read it at B.net, of course, or you can…

For a long time, Miguel Chavez was known as ‘Bungie’s Number One Fan’ – self-titled, originally, I think, but easily justified. Mig was there on the forefront of every news wave – coming back with his own special spin about the newest development in the Bungie world. Of late, he hasn’t been around all that…

PEZ was pretty proud to be featured twice over at Tied the Leader – the second time came in the form of a 22 Questions interview. Way to go, PEZ! (While you’re there, you should read the wrapup on Podcasting, too – been a good week!)(Louis Wu 20:15:42 UTC)
