Z pointed out a new video on Halo2Forum.com – it’s a Team Slayer match between XiT WouNDz and Str8 Rippin, on Midship. Amazing to watch pros working together, especially when full voice output is captured. Just under 100 mb, WMP9 format, definitely worth the download.

rockslider’s been busy; if you visit his Bad Cyborg site, you’ll find a new Frontline With Suzie (in which she interviews the mysterious beastie you can hear from a particular cave), and a more complete description of the beastie’s location. (This guy was first documented by oldmano’theC almost 4 years ago… how time flies!) Captain…

Back from dinner, back from a nice moonlit walk on the beach… everyone else wanted to go to bed, so I figured I’d check in. Looks like a few things came in recently that haven’t been posted… so I’m posting. You could start by swinging by the Bungie store – there are some new goodies…

Just testing out my net connection from here in paradise – seems okay. Looks like Eisen Feuer posted a new batch of multiplayer dialogue snippets on our forum; I’ve added them to the Dialogue Databank. (I discovered that SOME parts of my net connection aren’t that great; I can’t connect to the HBO servers at…

And THAT ends my posting spree. Why the rush? Well, because in less than 4 hours, I get in a car and drive to the airport, and fly to a place that’s far, far away. (Where we’re going… there are no roads. Wait, that’s wrong.) For the next 8 days, you’re in the capable hands…

Fan Fiction update comes early this week (see above for why) – 10 pieces for you tonight. Go read. Next update will be on Friday, the 24th.

I lied. There are some tasty morsels at Rampancy.net – you should read them before I’m through tonight. Uwe Boll (filmmaker extraordinaire, you betcha) has predicted that the Halo movie will be a failure (and you should read this, too, for a laugh)… and Narcogen has taken it upon himself to try and explain why…

Last quickie: Frankie posted a short news item on Bungie.net pointing out a few Halo websites that didn’t get mentioned in yesterday’s Valentine update. (I’m sure he’s getting all sorts of hatemail from sites that didn’t make EITHER list… but hey, sometimes you just gotta roll with it.)

There’s a new module posted at This Spartan Life – it’s the end of Episode 2, and it focuses on the Solid Gold Elite Dancers. And maybe suggests why you shouldn’t get on their bad side. QuickTime is up now, WMP9 coming soon.

Continuing: prometheus writes that the Halouvre has been totally overhauled, and augmented with lots of new artwork; go check it out! (The HUDless image galleries of Xbox7887 and Major.Dump contain some pretty astounding new pics, for example.)

Next, DarkJohn117 points out that the second segment of the German-language Elite Analysis has been posted – swing by and read (or translate) it.

A few rapid posts: we’ll start with a piece on MLGPro.com that takes a look back at the 2005 season – nice memories! Thanks, 3Suns.

DKN2 found a new version of Hang ’em High, built for Counter-Strike (the original, not Source). Check it out!

Wonga. Over at Tied The Leader, XerxdeeJ has a story up about the Halolympics, a multi-game Halo tournament being conducted online right now. (CobaltNova has even set up a website for it all – 19 days of gaming, and you can join in!) Thanks to 3Suns for letting us know this morning – too bad…

It’s Wednesday, so it must be bad pun day… yep, check One One Se7en.

Wow. For a few years, I’ve been openly scornful of the attitudes of Jack Thompson, the lawyer who’s made his career suing videogame companies for wrongful death; I’ve felt that his arguments are specious at best, and maliciously deceptive most of the time. Well, the guy just got a helping hand from a surprising source…

Robomonkey found a pretty cool-looking paintball jersey – not available for purchase yet, but maybe soon – which will put the Mjolnir armor on your body, at least in cloth form, while you try to paint your opponents. Check it out!

The whole ‘Crazy Frog’ fad was way bigger in Europe last year than it was in the US – but most people have seen (or at least heard) it before; lithuanian x pointed out a video on Google that sets it up in Halo. Decent cinematography, nice use of mods. I wish the download link…

Narcogen continues his defense of Stubbs the Zombie by dissecting a short review, and by contrasting Stubbs to analogous parts of Halo 2. This entry is a bit more strident than the last two… almost petulant in places. Still a good read.

A couple of days ago, NavSpecWarrior pointed out an article at Halo Orbit (a German site) devoted to Elites – their culture, their homeworld, anatomy… the works. I didn’t post anything because I was busy… but also because the article is written in German, and the majority of our audience doesn’t READ German. Oliver, from…
