Maverick J created a funny little flick; the dumb things newbies do (and how to become the ultimate newbie warrior). I’ve seen all of these behaviors… and they ARE funny. This one is QuickTime format, about 13.5 mb, 3:22 long. We’ve put it up at both Mythica.org and the Psyjnir Complex Hotline server. There’s still…

Mister E has created another Halo movie; this one’s called Halo Special Olympics. It’s just under 3 minutes long, in WMP9 format, and 16 megs big. We’re not hosting it (it didn’t meet our Movie Posting Guidelines), but That Weasel Television is; swing on by and grab a copy if you’re not on a mac.…

We’re having a small problem with our Miscellaneous Art section; we won’t be able to add any new content for a little while. (We’re working on it.) However, we DO have a new desktop image for you, in three sizes, courtesy of Snide Limits. Check it out in our Wallpaper section.

To the rather large number of folks who keep pointing out a thread over at TeamXbox’s forums with pics of a flamethrower, ingame… these showed up in September, generated some forum traffic here, then were ignored until Frogblast posted them again in February. They’re old news…

Akilo posted a very funny Monty Python spoof on our forum last night. It was originally available in WMP7 format (4.1 mb, now moved to Mythica.org). Lion converted it to MPEG format (4.1 mb, from Lion’s server) – but there seem to be some timing issues with it. I’ve made another version, QuickTime this time…
