Another brilliant idea from the think tank.
Episode 14 of Red vs Blue has been posted for Sponsors. (Everyone else needs to wait a couple of days.) Apologies for the delay in posting this… it took MUCH longer than usual to watch, because I kept having to go back and replay the parts I’d missed because I was laughing too loudly to…

FTC lives again
XboxOttawa.ca, the home of Fire Team Charlie, is back online, at a new host – details at their website. New vid coming soon, they hope. Thanks to Blade for the heads-up. (Don’t forget to stop by Blade’s Team Ice site if you wanna help with their bandwidth overload.)

Halo Information comes online
Another Halo site – Halo Information, says Shadow. Check it out. Update: apparently, the site is already down for bandwidth overage. The forum is still open, however.

Good for newcomers… old hat for the rest?
Gamespotting has an editorial from a PC gamer who has never really played Halo before (well, he dabbled a couple of times)… and his impression, after a 3-hour Halo PC fest, was that “everything just comes together so solidly that it’s a flat-out amazing game.” He makes the point, though, that his console-playing colleagues were…

The SKULL fairy?
The Halogamers crew ran into some personal snags this week, so Episode 2 of the Sidewinder Saga will not be up until next week. To tide you over, they’ve made ‘Not Episode 2’ (320×240, 6.0 mb), which can be grabbed on their Episodes page. Check it out!

Halo font – updated
Over a year ago, Will Turnbow created (then updated) a Halo font, to match the Halo logo developed by Bungie. Yesterday, he submitted another update; this one simply changes the ‘2’ to match the ‘2’ in the Halo 2 logo. We’ve updated the Miscellaneous Art entry that contained the last version, since that’s been pointed…

New movies from C.O.E.R.C.E.
The new bandwidth collective C.O.E.R.C.E. has posted three new movies: MC Is Wonderboy, by Erik Vogt (12.3 mb, 4:33 long, QuickTime format) – a pretty fun turn-a-song-into-a-story vid, with a twist; the filming was all done with a camera facing a TV. (This was done because it’s all Erik had… but it’s an effect which…

Action Figure Update
There was a concerned note posted on our forum today from someone who had preordered Halo action figures from the Bungie Store, but couldn’t find any information about them any more. SketchFactor stepped in with some reassurances; seems there have been some supply shortages coming from Joyride, so they’ve chosen to stop taking preorders that…

Major League Gaming, a console gaming league for professional video game players, has signed Dustin ‘HP Darkman’ Langton to a management contract. First up – he’s got an endorsement deal with LASR Accessories, a company that makes backpacks for consoles. HP Darkman seems to be the first Halo gamer to parlay his gaming skills into…

The dangers of popularity…
Recently, we’ve been posting a number of links to movie mirrors on Blade’s Team Ice website. He’s run into the problem that many potential hosts have hit; bandwidth overage. If you want to help out, visit his site for an update. (For those that can’t connect the dots, all movies hosted by Team Ice are…

Marines Trailer Available
Darksage created a trailer for an ambitious project: a new, full-length feature film, called Marines. You can find the trailer (in a variety of formats) over at the Drunk Monkeys Productions download page. (I’d suggest holding off on either of the QuickTime versions; there’s a much-better-quality copy coming soon. It’s 3.1 mb, so if that’s…

Ninjas on Ice
Another Halo board has started up – Ninjas on Ice is a spinoff of Ninjas on Fire, apparently. This came in Monday, but I lost it in the rush.
