Gustav Larimore writes to say that Effervescing Blue Productions has a new movie posted, as well – a Warthog Jumping Tutorial. (You might remember that there’s already one posted here at HBO… but more info is rarely a bad thing.)

Icetiger writes that he’s posted 3 new Halo movies on his website, Icegames; they show footage recorded on the HBO-COERCE server. Check ’em out!

Yesterday, we mentioned an article in the Wall Street Journal about the Red vs Blue team. We couldn’t post the article itself, because we don’t post print articles that are still for sale on the newsstand. (We did give you an online link that works for non-subscribers, so reading the content itself was doable.) It’s…

It’s been since Monday that a Fan Fiction update has been posted. My bad… now there are 28 stories to read. I’m sorry. Halo 2: Operation Dream Knife (Chapter 1: Hallway), by System Failure Chapter 4, Hell’s Bells, by The Silver Spartan The Spartans On Reach: Part 1 , by SpartanFortyFour Fall of Rye: Chapter…

One One Se7en, as well, was passed over… and that’s a sad thing, because it iMC is back.

DOH! Yesterday was busy enough that the standard comics didn’t get posted… they’re up now. Halo: Resolution gets to a punchline it’s been working towards for a week.

This week’s Bungie Update is over at Sector 7… and it’s a tasty one. No screenshots… but some tantalizing info. Go read!

Information about the Bungie Fanfest at E3 2004 has been posted at Bungie.net – go now and see! There is room for only 50 signups, with slots assigned by lottery… so if you’re planning on being there, go now to sign up! (There’s no benefit to signing up more than once, but there IS a…

The latest Red vs Blue episode (29) is available for Sponsors (on the sponsor forum, not the standard page) – and it’s the best in a while. First swearing I’ve heard all season, too… New logo, goes nicely with—nope, not ruining it. Go watch. (If you’re not a sponsor, this will be up on Sunday.…

Whoa. Seems like big-time, to me… the Red vs Blue crew is on the front page of today’s Wall Street Journal (print edition) – according to Gus Sorola, “A reporter for the Wall Street Journal came down and watched us produce an episode recently (27 if I recall properly) and wrote a story about the…

Halo Babies continues with their new plot series this week… I must say, seeing a kid in an undershirt is bizarre. Check it out!

Couple of movies for you, hosted outside… WaLKa point out a movie he made called ‘Killing Spree’ over at Halomods; 3:36, 13 mb, WMP9 format, it’s mostly what it says (killing sprees he’s had in HPC games). There are a few very funny sequences (the ‘kill the entire enemy team with flag melee attacks as…

Jake ‘Evergreen98’ Billo of the Junkyard has written the first of a 3-part series about the next iteration of Xbox Live, and it looks at how Halo 2 fits into the equation. Frankly, I’m confused by many of his conclusions… but maybe I’m just out of the loop on this stuff. Go check it out!

Short notice, I know… but sometimes, you just gotta grab the bull by the horns. We’ve got a new contest for you: come up with a brilliant one-liner using BOLL’s Automagic 117 StripMaker, and win a cool prize! To help you along, BOLL has added 31 new panels to the collection; let your creativity go…

Calvin and Halo is hardly Halo-related at all today; I don’t think this is a trend (at least I hope it isn’t), but it was a great strip when it was new, so go and check it out.

Gutupio did some playing with green-screen effects; the end result is a movie he calls ‘Halo 2: DDR Remix’. Not ever having played DDR, the joke is mostly lost on me… but reaction seems to be positive. Hosting has been handled by COERCE.net. The vid is 3:32 long, 14.1 mb big, and is a DivX-encoded…

Much general-interest modding info over at Halomods recently… there’s a downloadable copy of Blood Gulch with Hunters, Elites, and human snipers (a movie showing the action can be found here, the mod itself is in this thread), the outside portion of Keyes is now available as a multiplayer map (with a movie in this thread),…

That Weasel, of That Weasel Television, writes to say that after running for 15 days, the TWTv Poll asking about your favorite RvB character has come up with Caboose as the top choice (266 votes) with Church (156 votes) and Sarge (107 votes) running a distant second and third. A new poll is up, asking…

Once upon a time, HBO participated actively in the distributed search for extraterrestrial intelligence – and the Halo SETI Marines continue today, though at a much slower pace than when they were front-page news here every day. A year or so ago, Ross Mills started the HBO Researcher team at grid.org, aimed at using distributed…

…they all would know, he’d lose all his street cred. This is getting totally out of hand. I blame Sep7imus for starting it… and Stuntmutt for making it much, much worse.
