Cigma posted a note in our forum about OlapStats.com – and how it’s become HaloStatsOnline.com. They’re still offering basic services for free, but they’ve added an advanced membership category ($10/year) that gives you extra features. Check the links for more details.

(GT)Juggler has posted a teaser to his next video, HaloGT 18, ‘No Scope King’. Great video quality, and a no-scope montage… should be fun! Available in several formats; they range in size from 4.4 mb to 8.4 mb, depending on size and version.

XerxdeeJ points out his newest post on his Tied the Leader blog – a look at Fanboy Psychosis. It’s more focused on the Star Wars series than Halo, but Halo’s mentioned, and the syndrome is definitely applicable.

Z, from Halo2Forum.com, wrote to point out a new montage they’re hosting – very high quality video, nice timing. You can find it in this forum thread.

Red Leader pointed out that there’s another episode of This Island Earth posted now. I’ve lost track of the plotline, but the graphics work is nice.

The Halo Cutscene Library grows by another two scenes today – the Keyes rescue from the brig, and the final Truth and Reconciliation scene have both been added. Go grab the flavor of your choice!

Over at Rampancy.net, there’s another Halo audio transcription – this one is Earth City, done by Spenser Anunsen. The downloadable archive (free registration required to see the Download link) contains a midi file, Printmusic files, a score, and a PDF doc containing the score. Nice work!

It’s the end of the month, and we happen to have a bit of bandwidth left over. So I went through some of the recent rejections from the Movie Peer Review Rating System, and I found a film I wanted to post. Partly, it’s because I enjoyed it – it’s the story of the Arbiter,…

The first pair of cutscenes from Halo’s third level, Truth and Reconciliation, are now available in our Cutscene Library. Check ’em out!

What do you do when your carefully crafted message is undermined by a well-meaning but unthinking superior? Today’s One One Se7en looks at one possibility…

Thirteen new pieces posted in the Fan Fiction section this morning – begin Memorial Day with Halo!

HALOChat is looking for voice talent for an upcoming Halo movie – information about the film, test scripts, and how to apply are all available in this forum post. Swing by and try out.

The Zelda mod movie we mentioned yesterday has exceeded its bandwidth; thanks to the folks who pointed out a thread on the Gearbox forum with a couple of other links that still work. (We still don’t have any other formats for this video – if you can’t watch Flash, you’re out of luck. Sorry.)

A few weeks ago, we mentioned that Halo 2 was up for a Spacey Viewer’s Choice Award – the ceremony was held last night, and Halo 2 took the Favorite Game award (with 41% of the vote) – thanks, Laird.

Overswarm apologizes for the lack of updates to his Not So Common Sense guide – it’s hard to create strategy aids when you don’t have access to online play. (He’s out of luck for the summer.) However, he HAS managed to put together a pair of useful demonstration videos, showing off advanced combat techniques for…

Red Leader writes to let us know that This Island Earth Episode 10 has been posted. Take a look!

Because they’re small, we’re releasing all 3 cutscenes (well, 5 if you count the variants for the final one) for the level Halo in our Halo Cutscene Library today. Enjoy!

Redbluefire, of Trickingit.com, lets us know that he’s been interviewed by Hackaday.com about Halo 2 tricking; the interview is available via podcast. Swing by and listen!

Wow. Sometimes you just have to be scared for the future of journalism.There’s an article at Channelnewsasia.com about videogame addiction, and how it’s ‘America’s newest social scourge’… and it quotes statistics from the website of MAVAV, Mothers Against Videogame Addiction and Violence. (MAVAV, you might remember, was a hoax website, put together as a school…

We’ve mentioned a Zelda mod for HaloCE in the past – a movie has now been released (27 mb, Flash format). Take a look! (Thanks, MasterGrief.)
