The Codex Series has posted not one, but TWO new movies in the last few hours – Episode 15 has finally been released (long wait, but worth it!), and a Behind The Scenes vid is up, as well. Check their news page for both links. Episode 15 is action, action, action – really nice work!…

Nathan Koga noticed a new page over at Figures.com, devoted to the series 5 and 6 action figures coming soon from Joyride. We already pointed out pics of these figures at Joyride’s own site – but these images are larger, giving you a better look at the figures. Is it just me… or does that…

TeamXbox has put up more copies of the last three Bungie-sponsored flythroughs – again, these are the same vids we released a couple of days ago, but we’re always happy to see more copies online – spreading the bandwidth load. These are WMP9 only.

F13ND’s interviewed Ogre 2 over at Team3d.net – another fun look into the life of a pro Halo player. Go read!

Looks like the Frag Dolls are starting a monthly ‘play with the fans’ thing, under the auspices of Xbox.com – you can read about it on its official Xbox.com page. First game is July 15, with gaming requests needed by July 12 in order to partipate. Thanks to prometheus, who found this on Major Nelson’s…

Bungie’s posted this week’s Weekly What’s Update a bit earlier than usual (and yes, you were first, Nedus) – it focuses almost exclusively on cheating. There’s a bit of discussion of the problem involving modded maps – the advice is to hang tight for a little while, things WILL get better. There’s another auto-update coming…

Again, apologies for the delay – we’ve been dealing with some annoying DoS attacks on certain forums. You can now grab QuickTime versions of Red vs Blue’s Relic Walkthrough on our server – Hi-Res (45 mb) | Lo-Res (20.6 mb). Enjoy! (The WMP9 versions are now available for everyone at RvB – go get those…

Today’s One One Se7en hits home – I played in a game like this last night. Furhman steals his bandwidth from his neighbors, though, so he can’t be choosy.

Seven new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section today – go read!

Today’s w00tness has a pretty spectacular reworking of a gold elite – go check it out! Thanks to Endbringer for noticing.

Captain Spark has released another 38 dialogue snippets – some really funny David Cross ones this time around. You can grab the whole lot off his website, or browse them individually in our Dialogue Databank. I like this one.

Christian Andersen points out that GameTrailers has released their own versions of the flythroughs for Backwash, Gemini, and Terminal. (These are the same films we posted yesterday – but now there are more hosts for them.)

Red vs Blue’s Relic walkthrough is now available for download for sponsors – coming soon for the masses. (That link will work for everyone – but if the download is starred, only sponsors will be able to get it.) QuickTime versions in the works – we’ll post ’em when they’re finished. Thanks to ZD for…

Four more screenshots, showing the thigh pieces, have been posted over at Briar’s Armor (it’s the top row of thumbnails at the moment). If this news post means nothing to you, check older posts.

A pair of tournaments in Cincinnati, Ohio – August 6th and 13th. Minimum of $1000 in cash and prizes. Read this forum post from Scott Vieth for details!

Thanks to Spenser Gross, who pointed out a new strip over at Halo Babies. Check both the published strip and the original version (linked in the news post) for a couple of takes on modding!

A couple of weeks ago, we pointed out a trailer for a movie made by folks unhappy with Halo 2 – live action, bitter, and funny. Over at Halo2forum.com, Episode 1 of Halo Poo has been released – same general attitude, same sense of humor. If you liked the trailer, you’ll like this one. Where…

Wow, really bad news. Halogrid.com, the site behind the Jump Tactics Spoof videos, has recently gotten hit with a nearly $3500 overage fee for bandwidth because of the popularity of their vids – and they just don’t have the money. You can read imSuck’s explanation of what happened (there’s even a scan of the bill)…

Looking for a Job? Bungie’s looking for lots of people. Animators, programmers, artists – you name it, they’re hiring. Check their jobs page for details.

Gamespy posted the top 5 of their Top 25 Xbox Games of All-Time… and Halo 2 took the number 1 spot. Would have been nice to have both games in the top 5… but 6th isn’t bad. Thanks to many – Jinno was first.
