Mintz points out that all of his Halo 2 for PSP conversions are now available in one place – and two new articles have been added (the Humpday Challenge from last week, and the XBL Playlists from Bungie.net). If you’ve got a PSP, and you love having Halo content to read while on the road…

Nirvana has put up a low-res version of Halo 2: Road to Glory, the fan-made documentary released last week. It’s 280 mb in WMP9 format (QuickTime coming tomorrow), and available for direct download. If 421 mb was too much for you – grab this one!

IGN has new Stubbs the Zombie videos for you to download. One of them was released last month (mentioned in our forum, but somehow missed on the front page) – the other is totally new. Man… that unholy flatulence looks to be a powerful weapon! Thanks, Ma1agate.

Hogmasta put together an effect for Windows Movie Maker 2 that crops out the HUD, for ease of machinima making – we’ve put up a local copy (3k). If you’re using WMM2 to create Halo movies – this can help!

Argent found a new Flash animation over at Newgrounds – it’s a Team Slayer match on Lockout, MLG-style. Hits all the big cliches.

trigger119 pointed out a new trailer hosted at the newly-redesigned Halomachinima.com – Halo: Fate’s Destiny takes place after the in-game story ends, and looks at the final 5 remaining Spartans. It’s filmed in the HaloCE engine, with additional CGI elements. The trailer’s quite short – but pretty! Update: there is now a QuickTime version up…

Hawk7886 found a Rocket Warthog addition for GTA: San Andreas. Later posts in the thread have some screenshots.

Sep7imus points out a website showing you, in 12 easy steps, how to cheat in Halo 2 (and become a happier person).

We got a note from Victor – X-Tournaments is back after a long vacation, and is now acting a a hub for all Halo tournament activity across the US. More and more info will be coming online in the near future – if you want to know where the nearest tourney is going to be,…

Continuing with the recent spate of MPRRS-passed vids: freejack905, of the Necrosis Clan, submitted ‘Mythbusterz – Episode 1’, a remake of an episode of the Discovery Channel show on driving while impaired. Nice linkup of existing audio to Halo footage! Grab it in WMP9 format (30 mb) or QuickTime format (31.4 mb).

Is that an icon in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? Today’s One One Se7en points out a Bungie oversight… sort of.

SSGT Cutter points out that yesterday’s DOOM Toons (a comic based on DOOM, hosted at PlanetDOOM) has a cameo by the Master Chief. Not sure I get it… but there you are.

Interesting. Yesterday, we got email from bluestrike2 – it contained a very pretty PDF (159K) with all the respawn times of all the weapons on the Halo 2 maps (minus grenades and vehicles. Then, not 7 hours later, we got email from Typher, who’s contributed to our online version of this content in the past…

gigiskapoo pointed out a rather strange Flash animation at DeviantArt… well, go watch.

Tim Dadabo might be best known to Halo fans as the voice of 343 Guilty Spark – but he’s done quite a bit more voice work than that, in the Halo games and beyond. He’s got a new website online… and there’s a pretty hilarious montage of his game character voices, with Spark talking to…

TeamXbox has put up a series of videos showing Warthog Jumping on the new maps – nothing that a regular visitor to High Impact Halo hasn’t seen, but pretty interesting for a high-traffic general Xbox site! Watching hogs get toasted by Terminal’s train hasn’t gotten old yet… WMP9 format, 15-30 mb each.

The BBC has put up an article on Video Games Live, the concert series playing video game music – with audio clips from Halo, Mario, and Tomb Raider. Good stuff! Thanks, Mr Danger.

Looks like Rumble Pit, Team Skirmish, and Team Preview stats have just been reset. Thanks to Gamer2017 (who also warned folks that Bungie has said that the preview playlists will be removed in late August, once the new maps are free for all). Update: oops, Rumble Pit and Skirmish lists are normal; when I checked…

Another of the recent torrent of movies clearing our Movie Peer Review Rating System is a teaser for an upcoming machinima series. ‘The Squadron – Advert’ is a short trailer for the upcoming season of (yeah, you guessed it) The Squadron, a human-vs-covie matchup. 2:05 long, available in WMP9 (7.2 mb) or QuickTime (6.8 mb).

This was posted a week ago on Halo2Forum.com – but SWAT Halo69 mentioned it on our forum yesterday; it’s his 6th montage, and it contains some very nice footage with great timing. (Music choices are… questionable – but maybe that’s just for folks who need songs not to be strings of curses.) It’s huge -…
