Lament for Pvt. Jenkins
BootStrap Boon put together a vid called ‘Lament for Pvt. Jenkins’ recently, and the MPRRS said ‘yeah!’ It’s an alternate look at what might have happened to the poor dead Private from Halo, and aside from some odd aspect issues, and the occasional interlacing, it’s quite well done. He does a really nice job of…

Action Replay FAQ
Spartan Jag wrote up a FAQ for Action Replay, the device that lets you trade saved games with other Halo players (well, lots of games, but this is a Halo site, right?). Check it out on our forum.

Managing XPectations.
So, not too long ago, Bungie announced that Halo 2 would be coming out on Windows Vista – and a lot of people griped that they didn’t want to upgrade their operating system just to play Halo 2. Stuntmutt takes the ‘if you can’t beat ’em, laugh at ’em’ tack in today’s One One Se7en.

Why does the cake smell like baby oil?
RedvsBlue Episode 74, ‘Right To Remain Silenced’, has been released for sponsors, a bit later than expected… but man, it was worth it. My favorite character is back… and as fun as ever. If you’re a sponsor, go grab it now. If you’re not… it should be out by Thursday or so. Thanks to spartaneric…

Drive-Thru
Dang, meant to get to this yesterday, forgot. Omg A Fish submitted ‘Drive-Thru’, a Tenacious D skit set to Halo, to the MPRRS – and it would have passed, except for one reviewer (who didn’t even really seem to dislike it, but gave it a dismal score anyway). It’s a tiny film (just over 6…

Halo used in a study on stupid people
sonik son sent us a link that’s pretty darned tangential to Halo… but Halo IS involved, so here you go. Over at MarginalRevolution.com, there’s a blog entry about a study that compared higher prices with free shipping vs lower prices with expensive shipping to see which attracted buyers faster. (Turns out we’re stupid, and will…

Eenk Eenk Eenk!
Over at Bungie.net you’ll find a pretty cool story about a Cosplayer who won some awards with his Elite costume – along with cool pictures showing the costume itself, and how he pulled off the whole reverse-knee thing. Check it out! (I don’t even need to visit our forum to know that there’s a FIRST…

The Mombasa Massacre
Jamie98s is turning out to be one of the top moviemakers in the Halo universe; I can’t remember a film he’s made that I didn’t like. His latest work, The Mombasa Massacre, blew through the MPRRS without a scratch. It’s a slightly different take on his last piece, Chaos on the Creek; this one also…
