KLind has set up an interview with Eric Nylund at the end of the month, and is currently soliciting questions; swing by his forum post for an email address to send them to. The author of Fall of Reach, First Strike, and the upcoming Ghosts of Coral (or whatever it ends up being called) knows…

Pinkuh created a pretty cool piece of art for Mary Jane, a co-founder of the PMS Clan; you can find it in her forum post, or in her HBO Gallery. Those are some long legs!(Louis Wu 12:25:19 UTC)

GotFrag has a writeup of the RRX glitch, and how players will need to adapt to best take advantage of it. Remember; this is aimed at the pro community, for the most part; Bungie has said that this (and other exploits that circumvent the normal play of the game) should be considered cheating in Matchmaking.…

ban381 posted an old, unfinished Flash game he’d been working on to our forum; artwork is actually quite good. It’s not very big, but if we end up crushing his server with this, we’ll host a local copy.(Louis Wu 12:24:05 UTC)

HaloGM is a CS Source-based Halo mod using Garrysmod – this forum post contains download links and a few screenshots of Wizard. Take a look! Thanks, Samir Patel.(Louis Wu 12:23:37 UTC)

Eric Nylund has set up a blog – swing by to keep in touch with the author of two (soon to be three) Halo novels! You can contact him directly via an email link available on his profile page. (Don’t abuse this, please – I’d hate it if we lost this opportunity because some fans…

WikiRiot has two separate podcasts today – gestor and LegendaryMark created 005A while at the Clan of Bobs LAN, and Brathnok did 005B by himself (he didn’t make it to the LAN). Almost an hour between the two – go listen!(Louis Wu 15:10:18 UTC)

Against all logic, One One Se7en has reached a mind-boggling 500 strips. (We’re not counting Sundays, holidays, guest strips, or the short-lived Archive.) After reading this one, you’ll wonder… HOW? (It’s a little like lichen – it can live in really hostile environments with almost no nutrition.)(Louis Wu 13:40:13 UTC)

MLG PwnCast has released Episode 18, summarizing MLG Anaheim. 5.5-13.4 mb, depending on the version you grab. (Just under 12 minutes, so it shouldn’t kill your day.) Go listen!(Louis Wu 13:05:40 UTC)

Heh – a newspaper article in the Halifax, Nova Scotia Chronicle Herald was picked up by Kotaku, where it was seen by MereCatFish; Kotaku and most of the posters in Mere’s thread seem to see this as yet another example of the media vilifying video games as potential causes for all sorts of ills (in…

Okay, so I’ve talked to DJ of HaloImpulse, and it’s true, the Custom Map Team did, indeed, go over its bandwidth allotment, and it will cost DJ roughly $400 to pay it down. (The CMT crew is NOT on the hook for this – HaloImpulse, who was hosting their website, is. This is probably a…

Pinkuh put together a really nice intro image for her newly revamped personal website; she posted it to our forum, and we added it to her Gallery page here. Check it out!(Louis Wu 17:18:29 UTC)

Turtle Mann submitted his fourth montage to the MPRRS – and they passed it, though a few reviewers thought it went a bit overboard on effects. (I’d agree with that, though for the most part it’s not too hard to figure out what’s going on.) We’re hosting a WMP9 version (67.7 mb) and a QuickTime…

A few days ago, a trailer for an upcoming machinima called ‘Oppression’ passed through the MPRRS; it came really, really close to passing. There was a single typo in some of the text, and this typo was mentioned by a large number of reviewers – we got uppity squirrel, the creator, to fix that typo,…

Stuntmutt has posted a new blog entry, containing a whole bunch of user-submitted strips (I think my favorite is Tragic Nocturne’s take on the Vampire Earth controversy), along with some other random One One Se7en-related tidbits. If you feel as though you haven’t had enough One One Se7en stuff this week, swing by!(Louis Wu 14:47:35…

Over at Halo2Forum.com, Z points out sHyRe’s Montage Trailer for download – 41.6 mb, WMP9 format. It’s short… but it looks pretty good! Full montage vid coming later this summer. Go download. (No more registration needs to download from H2F.)(Louis Wu 14:42:06 UTC)

DropShock Radio has released episode 19 – 1.5 hours, 40 mb. Swing by their site to listen.(Louis Wu 18:38:33 UTC)

The Miscellaneous Art queue never stops; even when I clear it, it’s non-empty a day or two later. That means these days, when I can’t clear it in one shot, it’s even worse. I apologize (again) to submitters for the delay they must suffer before their work is seen by the public. Today, we’ve got…

Heh – an anonymous fan sent me this link from the Marathon’s Story Page forum – 1 minute Halo. (Spoilers, if you’re counting.) Made me laugh.(Louis Wu 12:17:13 UTC)

If speculating about movie details is your bag, check out this article on Stuff – it’s focused on Peter Jackson, but one of his two (known) upcoming projects is Halo, so a good chunk of the article relates to that film. Thanks, Custard.(Louis Wu 12:13:12 UTC)
