Verdafolio posted a note on our forum a few days ago about a movie called ‘Vehicular Pwnage’ – it’s almost 20 mb, in WMP9 format, hosted over at DementedPuppy.com (thanks also to WhoKnew). This shows footage of the HBO Lekgolos doing some… well, check the title. A QuickTime version should be coming soon.

A couple of days ago, Xboxter posted a note on our forum – the links in that first post are funky, but the concept is there: he remixed the Last Spartan track off the Halo 2 Soundtrack to recreate the music you hear in the Return to Sender cutscene. I think he did a pretty…

The MLGPro website was having a bit of trouble yesterday… this news isn’t on their front page anywhere yet, but Gonzo sent us the details of last weekend’s MLG DC event; looks like OGRE 2 took the FFA competition, StK was first in the 4v4, and Walshy and OGRE 2 teamed up to win the…

And still more stats tools come on the scene. LunarShadow posted v1.06 of his Halo 2 Online (H2O) Stats reader – details and links are on our forum. (I couldn’t get it to work, but I didn’t check and make sure I had the latest versions of Microsoft’s Visual Basic stuff.) And Todd Houser pointed…

New tourneys – Slothboy mentioned one in Oregon; the Frag Fiesta will be taking place in Newberg (south of Portland) on February 12… and Kin Hulamm wrote to us about a 4v4 tourney to benefit UNICEF coming up in Greenbelt, Maryland on February 16; no website, but you can email him for details.

Jillybean let us know that there are a couple of small updates on the Halo Story page (one that mnemesis put up a few days ago, but we missed, another she posted last night)… go read the latest!

New video to watch – a preview of things to come. The project is called ‘The Codex’, and the trailer is a bit over 3 minutes of tight camera work, beautiful edits, and great coordination with the soundtrack. Hard to tell yet how the plot will hold up… but the trailer certainly leaves you wanting…

That Stuntmutt… always finding new angles for One One Se7en. Well, maybe not NEW…

Okay, this is just… disturbing. Thanks, Edwin Durning. Update: But wait… there’s more. And more.

Another stats archiving option just turned up; Altomesi found CarnageStats. One of the developers chimed in to explain the free/pay options.

If you’re not offended easily, there’s a pretty funny article over at Pointless Waste of Time – it’s called ‘Halo 2 and the Criminal Mind’, and suggests why Halo 2 might actually be good for society as a whole. (You’ve been warned about the offensiveness – remember that.) Thanks, Bakudai.

retsamolah has been experimenting a bit… The movie listed in this forum post is pretty short, but gives you an idea of what’s possible. Personally… I think it looks pretty dang cool.

There’s been quite a bit of talk on our forum recently about the IWHBYD skull – it was used to discover a cool little easter egg in Outskirts a couple of days ago. One of the problems with this skull is that the triggers to get it aren’t completely known; some things seem to work……

Yayap the Grunt pointed out yet ANOTHER event – this one isn’t a tourney, it’s a LANfest, in Wales – but there’s a door fee (it’s held in a commercial venue). There’ll be several games; Halo is one. Check out the details on the Frag Fest Wales page.

The Red vs Blue team (well, okay, the COOL part of the team) is back from the Sundance Film Festival, and they’ve posted a video they put together for the Festival. 2 minutes of hilarity. It’s available for sponsors now, and will be up for the public in a few days. Go watch! Thanks, Black…

Funky vid posted to our forum last night… Mintz08, from www.Echo-413.com, took some filler from a Sum 41 album and put video to it. There are two versions; large is just under 7 mb, small is under 2. Here’s hoping the bandwidth holds out!

Thanks to thesaelens, for another 29 dialogue snippets for our Halo 2 Dialogue Databank. (There’s also one in there from Captain Spark, posted on our forum a couple of days ago.) Go listen!

Matt Hamilton wrote to us about an upcoming Halo tourney to be held on Saturday, February 26 on the campus of Iowa State University. 4v4, hosted by the Uni’s Halo club (ub3r-l33t), $20/team, with money split between prizes and tsunami relief. More info can be found on their web page. Update: While we’re talking about…

Fifteen new pieces for you up in the Fan Fiction section today… go see what you can find! It’s a bit early here to curl up in front of a fire… but it sure is cold enough.

Just wanted to give folks a heads-up… there are a number of sites that have been submitted to our Links page that I’ve left in the queue – they’re all on Freewebs, which seems to be down at the moment. I haven’t deleted the submissions; they’re just on hold until we can actually see the…
