One One Se7en turns One Year Old today… and it looks like the cast is making a statement. Happy Birthday, Stuntmutt! (There were wellwishers on the forum, also.)

Halo: Resolution gets… odd.

Red vs Blue Episode 32, ‘me, myself, and you’, was posted a couple of hours ago – pretty early! (It’s currently in the Season 2 Sponsors forum.) Very nice work – and props to Yomary for the funniest bit in the film. Thanks to pilotelite for the heads-up.

Oops – another one.

Caskey discovered a Timberland conversion for Unreal Tournament 2k4 – and rapture points out that it’s being hosted by cooked Gamers (along with other Halo conversions). Nice!

Bungie.net has been updated with a new Top Story – A Covenant Primer: The Best of the Bestiary. There’s some excellent background information about the Covenant itself (and how the Forerunners fit into the equation), along with individual descriptions of each client species. Absolutely worth a read for anyone interested in the backstory of Halo!…

Halo Babies has a new strip up today – it takes a shot at Bungie’s scripting. (mrsmiley also points out that today’s the last day to donate to HaloBabies.net and get entered in their Spoiled Sponsor contest – he’s choosing a winner tomorrow.)

WaLKa came up with some very nice HUDless desktops, and posted ’em to our forum. KP put up a mirror, and so did we – I can’t speak for anyone else, but as long as you can get to HBO, you can get to ours. 🙂 Enjoy ’em!

Deanero asked a reasonable question on our forum, concerning the energy balance of Halo and its denizens. (Personally, I think Speedy’s answer is the most likely, and not just because he took a totally gratuitous shot at KP in formulating it.) BOLL, however, went in a different direction… hrm.

Narcogen, over at Rampancy.net, has gone through the site’s search logs and pulled out some of the commonest requests… and answered them. In the process, he’s found a use for his Halo Pickup Lines database. (R.net takes no responsibility for any consequences of using these lines in real life.)

So discuss already.

Calvin and Halo hint at a potential solution to E3 entrance for younger readers…

Blake Noble sent us word of a Halo mod for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. It’s 1.57 mb and called ‘Halo Invasion’ – it’s available from this page (it’s about 3/4 of the way to the bottom). If you own Vice City, this might be fun to grab!

Dominator has whipped up a Motorcycle mod for Halo PC; there are currently screenshots and a movie on the Halomods forums. (The actual model hasn’t been released yet.) The movie is large (33.5 mb, .rar-compressed), and duplicates footage… but overall it looks pretty nice. First notice of this goes to The Guardians, 3 days ago.

The Red vs Blue team released a deleted scene from Episode 31 yesterday; it’s on the Sponsors download page. It’s up only in Quicktime (two resolutions). Thanks to Scott Hartel for the heads-up. (It’s only 41 seconds long, and either 3.6 or 6.0 mb, depending on the version you grab.)

(GT)Juggler has put together a nice vid of the recent Knee For All fanfest; It’s 30 mb, QuickTime format, and does a good job of tying together the day. Check it out; we’re hosting it on files.bungie.org (looks like all this hosting is gonna toast us this month…).

14 pieces for you today in the Fan Fiction section. Give ’em a read – there’ll be more tomorrow!

Eep – forgot to archive the Weekly Update this week; it’s now in our database. Remember… when you’re looking for Paul Russel’s contribution to Halo 2, this ain’t a bad place to start…

See what spam can do? I almost missed the relevance of this thread, because of the enormous amount of spam in it. However, the initial post is actually quite interesting, and points to a simple but content-rich site devoted to one very specific mini-game you can play within Halo; a massive battle involving many more…

One One Se7en gets ready for Halo 2…
