Progress continues on the Movie Peer Review Rating System; we’ve tweaked the required final score to be a bit lower (it seemed we were weeding out EVERYTHING), and we’ve added 3 more reviewers to the ‘Required Reviewers’ total – when we required 7 reviewers, a single low rating could knock a contender out of the…

Mommeeeeeee! He’s at it AGAIN!

I HATE it when my notes get buried, and I forget to post something. Yaksha visited our forum yesterday to announce Episode 6 of Sponsors vs Freeloaders – Overrun and Underwhelmed. Film quality continues to be quite good – and there’s still a plot. Multiple resolutions are available. Grab a copy!

In order to ‘get’ this week’s One One Se7en, you have to 1) remember the names of downloadable maps Bungie plans to release in June, 2) be old, and 3) have watched some REALLY bad television in your youth. That’s… um, 7 of us. For the rest of you, there’s Google.

Wow. Now THIS is something… I haven’t seen before. A collection of south Texas religious groups (they might all be the same entity; I can’t tell – but we’ve got Fuzion Church, Crossroads Baptist Church, and Chi-Ro Ministries) has put together a series of Halo-based machinima to promote a Christian weekend retreat – and to…

Thirteen new pieces of Fan Fiction for you this morning – the weekend catch. Go read!

The comic flood doesn’t end. (It would be really nice if some of it would slow down until the creators had time to make stuff FUNNY… but hey, you can’t have everything. And no, I’m not saying they’re ALL un-funny… just that some are coming out so quickly that the chance for humor is trampled…

This… is just a bizarre article to see at a site like HowStuffWorks. (Then again… maybe it’s not.) Thanks to Ian Wiseman for the heads-up. (There’s voting at the end – be sure to vote.)

There’ve been a ton of movies announced on our forum recently; none of these have been submitted to our peer review rating system, so they’re not eligible for HBO hosting, but you can still check them out:Praetoria Guard has 3 films out (one is a blooper reel)KoTHALO has released a trailer for 3lite, another zombie-type…

TrickingIT.com has set up a movies database where you can rate released films. At the moment, it’s mostly just promotional info about recent or upcoming films (the majority of posts have no ratings at all)… but I guess the more people who use this, the more useful it will become. (You must be registered at…

Wow… must be comic time. We’ve been told about three new ones this weekend:2401 is sort of a One-One-Se7en-esque strip from Guilty Spark – humor is a bit spotty, but it’s early yet. As of this writing, there are 7 strips in that thread.Halo In Paradise has just a single strip up – and apparently,…

We’ve placed a link to the Movie Peer Review Rating System on the news pages – if you’ve got a Halo movie you need hosting for, go visit! (There’s now a stats section at the top of the page; you can get an idea of what we’re seeing by looking at approval rates and processing…

Keving Atherton writes about a series called ‘Triple Threat’ – a trailer (WMP9 format, 20.4 mb) is available here, from the Olapstats.com forum. If you like impossible odds… you’ll like this trailer.

I HATE it when I forget stuff. I forgot Friday’s One One Se7en. What’s worse… nobody noticed. Hmm… (The thing is, this one hits close to home. Maybe that’s why I forgot it.)

The Halo CE Chronicles, a machinima series attempting to show a more human side of a Spartan, has gotten popular enough that it’s moved to its own site (up till now, it’s been hosted on halomaps.org). The videos are now available not only in their original Flash movie format, but also in WMP9 and QuickTime.…

The New Zealand tournament we mentioned in February and March has now been completed – and David Beaton (16) is the overall winner. Congrats! He’s off to Australia soon to compete against the rest of the world.

Hehe – now THERE’S an energy sword.

Über-Chief 69 points out that Resolute Issue 6 has been released – MC and Sonic get some ideas about Mario…

Hehe – the first movie approval by the new MPRRS has been issued – and it’s for a movie I meant to post a month ago (in a slightly smaller form), but forgot. I guess that means the system works! Check out Zukan’s Elite Fight (QuickTime, 10.7 mb), a short but intense battle betweem a…

Gravity points out that HALOader, an Bungie RSS stat reader, has been updated – visit the site for more details.
