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!

There’s a very funny article over at Bungie.net – a collection of emails from cheaters who feel they’ve been unjustly banned. (They haven’t.) Give it a read – but make sure you’re not drinking anything that would be hard to clean out of your keyboard. Looks like darthbob was first.

The Video Software Dealers Association announced the nominees for their Game of the Year Awards today – Halo 2 is on the Xbox list, even though it won last year. (The full list of nominees is here.) Thanks, Gamasutra.

As we mentioned recently, while Stuntmutt is in Barbados, enjoying his honeymoon, we’ve got a whole series of ‘celebrity’ fill-ins for One One Se7en… the very first strip comes from Frankie. As might be expected, Mister Chief makes an appearance.

MaritalBlaze54 recreated a video originally done by Snow Globe Productions – a music video set to Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Crosstown Traffic’. (I never saw the original, and Snow Globe’s website is currently offline.) This version is quite nicely done – great syncing, great clip choices. Great song. Go watch, and listen – the MPRRS said to.…

Paul Davies has caught the front-page bug. After five straight days of new artwork from him last week, we missed a ‘Paul Davies’ post yesterday… so today, he sent along a really nice remix of ‘Heretic, Hero’, from the Halo 2 Soundtrack Volume 1. Multitalented, that guy is! Go listen (mp3, 2.9 mb).

Elnea’s done some bizarre parodies in her day… but ‘Pwn My Heart’ has got to be up there. I ran across this in a recent journal of hers over at Red vs Blue; it was written for a machinima piece we helped host a few months ago, but I never really noticed it there. It’s…

Jillybean found a few tidbits that whet her fancy in the Story Page mailbag/forum pool – go see what she’s brought you!

The man will never stop looking for Megabattle goodness. Rockslider has written up yet another possibility for 35+ enemy action on Truth and Reconciliation; it’s during the setup for his last find, the Dustbowl Megabattle, and it sounds like fun. Give it a read!

Stephen Loftus has snapped a couple of photos of the latest progress on his In Amber Clad model – it’s looking pretty nice! His forum post points to his personal website, or you can check it out in the local version here.
