Cybiotik found a blog with a lot of Halo content and some really cool fan creations… check multiple posts!(Louis Wu 02:39:27 UTC)

KP has written up his version of the events in Atlanta this weekend – swing by Bungie.net for text and pictures (including a shot of Schooly D’s butt) of LANbex, which sounds like a truly old-school lanfest.(Louis Wu 02:36:18 UTC)

Looks like Cody Miller’s Legendary No-Deaths Halo 2 run (which won the Twin Galaxies Halo 2 Bounty earlier this year) has made the 2007 Guinness Book of World Records! Very cool. Thanks, Grande Carne.(Louis Wu 22:44:27 UTC)

Incogneto45 submitted to the MPRRS a trailer for ‘The Last Judgement’, a machinima project coming soon. The subject matter isn’t very new – a small band of survivors, attempting to stave off destruction by the legions of Hell – but the cinematics are quite good; this one looks to be worth waiting for! The trailer…

SESpider decided to repost the earlier strips of his Miniature Halo series with the style developed in the most recent episodes; we’ll replace the old ones with the new ones as they come in. (Pages 1-4 are already up.)(Louis Wu 20:19:30 UTC)

Gah. Yesterday, I posted a note about Wahttehhog’s ‘Ancien Regime’, a large vid that passed the MPRRS with flying colors. I’d forgotten, as I promised, to point out their blog, where you can comment on this piece – and where, if you’re in the mood, you can download a much, much less compressed version (nearly…

Very nice new commissioned piece from Pinkuh – a clanmate and her beau, enjoying a Zanzibar sunset. We’ve added this to her gallery, as well.(Louis Wu 19:24:46 UTC)

Heh – Bluestone found a new storage location for an action figure rocket launcher – what a great desk toy!(Louis Wu 16:06:56 UTC)

Wow, it’s gonna be one of those days. In rapid succession, the MPRRS reviewers passed the latest submission by Chairleg Productions – entitled ‘Daytime or: How I learnt to stop legislating and love the Ninjaman’, this one is a break from their recent MPs series – it’s a look at violence in videogames, and possible…

Reyals Bemus submitted ‘Wahttehhog Ep. 2 – Ancien Regime’ to the MPRRS last week; it was a rather large file, so it took the reviewers some time to get through it. They passed it this morning, with rave reviews. It says ‘Episode 2’, but in fact it’s not really related to Episode 1 except in…

Today’s One One Se7en nails one of Bungie’s biggest problems with respect to the Halo movie. Everything would be better if fans didn’t suck so much. (No, of COURSE that doesn’t mean YOU.)(Louis Wu 14:56:59 UTC)

Podtacular Episode 76 has been released – tips for playing Beaver Creek, and an interview with Matt Hullum, of Red vs Blue. Almost an hour and a half, 75 mb. Give it a listen! Thanks, Foo Mo Jive.(Louis Wu 14:40:08 UTC)

Tactic pointed out a that PromethianGuard Episode 2: ‘Bout Daaamn Time!’ has been released – it’s a 15-minute variety vid with skits, bloopers, and a montage. Just under 100 mb in WMP9 format – swing by the PromethianGuard website and grab a copy!(Louis Wu 12:48:13 UTC)

The first substantial writeup of LANbex, a huge old-school-style lan held in Atlanta this weekend, was posted by Max Power last night – go read about Tijuana Mama-eating contests, Master Chief’s sex drive, and the awful cell coverage in Dolbex’s woods! (Lots of pics.)(Louis Wu 12:01:20 UTC)

redstormrisen found a Halo-related comic at Doctor Daemon – I think it’s taking a shot at Mac users, too.(Louis Wu 22:22:20 UTC)

BLackout77x, of Clan Third and Long, submitted ‘Youth of The Nation’, a tribute to the Columbine shootings, to the MPRRS; the reviewers felt it was touching, and well-filmed. You can grab a copy in WMP9 format (49.6 mb) or QuickTime format (53.2 mb).(Louis Wu 19:16:42 UTC)

Stuntmutt updated his blog today – a bunch of submitted strips, a recap of the One One Se7en-related winners from the mow your lawn contest (and a great little bonus), plus some submitted animation stuff – go look! (There’s also a ‘lost strip’ – a strip he submitted, but never aired, along with the story…

Jinno went to the Video Games Live concert in Indianapolis this weekend – and came away with an iPod signed by Mike Salvatori, along with concert founders Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall. (Jinno supplied the hardware – the other guys just signed. Don’t want you thinking you could have gotten a free iPod out of…

Nice – kevinp15 dropped into the thread discussing the Tyler Kirkham Halo artwork from yesterday, and clarified that 1) the original image was created for him as a Christmas present a few years ago, and 2) that there’s a more dramatically-colored version (and a pencil sketch) of the color image in his Red vs Blue…
