Heh – Bluestone found a new storage location for an action figure rocket launcher – what a great desk toy!(Louis Wu 16:06:56 UTC)

Wow, it’s gonna be one of those days. In rapid succession, the MPRRS reviewers passed the latest submission by Chairleg Productions – entitled ‘Daytime or: How I learnt to stop legislating and love the Ninjaman’, this one is a break from their recent MPs series – it’s a look at violence in videogames, and possible…

Reyals Bemus submitted ‘Wahttehhog Ep. 2 – Ancien Regime’ to the MPRRS last week; it was a rather large file, so it took the reviewers some time to get through it. They passed it this morning, with rave reviews. It says ‘Episode 2’, but in fact it’s not really related to Episode 1 except in…

Today’s One One Se7en nails one of Bungie’s biggest problems with respect to the Halo movie. Everything would be better if fans didn’t suck so much. (No, of COURSE that doesn’t mean YOU.)(Louis Wu 14:56:59 UTC)

Podtacular Episode 76 has been released – tips for playing Beaver Creek, and an interview with Matt Hullum, of Red vs Blue. Almost an hour and a half, 75 mb. Give it a listen! Thanks, Foo Mo Jive.(Louis Wu 14:40:08 UTC)

Tactic pointed out a that PromethianGuard Episode 2: ‘Bout Daaamn Time!’ has been released – it’s a 15-minute variety vid with skits, bloopers, and a montage. Just under 100 mb in WMP9 format – swing by the PromethianGuard website and grab a copy!(Louis Wu 12:48:13 UTC)

The first substantial writeup of LANbex, a huge old-school-style lan held in Atlanta this weekend, was posted by Max Power last night – go read about Tijuana Mama-eating contests, Master Chief’s sex drive, and the awful cell coverage in Dolbex’s woods! (Lots of pics.)(Louis Wu 12:01:20 UTC)

redstormrisen found a Halo-related comic at Doctor Daemon – I think it’s taking a shot at Mac users, too.(Louis Wu 22:22:20 UTC)

BLackout77x, of Clan Third and Long, submitted ‘Youth of The Nation’, a tribute to the Columbine shootings, to the MPRRS; the reviewers felt it was touching, and well-filmed. You can grab a copy in WMP9 format (49.6 mb) or QuickTime format (53.2 mb).(Louis Wu 19:16:42 UTC)

Stuntmutt updated his blog today – a bunch of submitted strips, a recap of the One One Se7en-related winners from the mow your lawn contest (and a great little bonus), plus some submitted animation stuff – go look! (There’s also a ‘lost strip’ – a strip he submitted, but never aired, along with the story…

Jinno went to the Video Games Live concert in Indianapolis this weekend – and came away with an iPod signed by Mike Salvatori, along with concert founders Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall. (Jinno supplied the hardware – the other guys just signed. Don’t want you thinking you could have gotten a free iPod out of…

Nice – kevinp15 dropped into the thread discussing the Tyler Kirkham Halo artwork from yesterday, and clarified that 1) the original image was created for him as a Christmas present a few years ago, and 2) that there’s a more dramatically-colored version (and a pencil sketch) of the color image in his Red vs Blue…

RidgyMrPeepers submitted a highly-compressed version of his movie, ‘The Red’ – a music video set to the song of the same name by Chevelle; it examines a schizophrenic faced with a series of murders. Nice editing, though I wish we had a higher-quality version to serve you… The MPRRS reviewers gave it a thumbs-up, so…

Quantifier heard about a Halo-related question on Jeopardy – and Miguel Chavez confirmed it (while at the same time pointing out a pretty cool Jeopardy archive website I’d never seen before) – I can’t believe that was worth $800. Plus, all three blew the Leeroy Jenkins question!(Louis Wu 19:16:11 UTC)

Psychophan7 found some folks working on porting Mjolnir Armor into the Oblivion engine – love the sword!(Louis Wu 19:12:17 UTC)

GruntKilla ran across some really nice Halo artwork in the portfolio of Tyler Kirkham, a comic artist (Master Chief B&W | Master Chief Color) – awesome stuff!(Louis Wu 19:10:21 UTC)

Jean-Luc returned with a new Master Chief animation – it’s huge (1600×1200, requires the XVID codec), but it’s pretty slick! Grab a copy from FileFront.(Louis Wu 19:08:11 UTC)

Some interesting goings-on in our forum over the last day or so… let’s start at the top and move down. Feenix noticed a cel-shaded pelican (and Pillar of Autumn) in a fan-made Halo animation on YouTube… fun!(Louis Wu 19:06:35 UTC)

Not directly Bungie-related, but there’s a lengthy post-mortem on Stubbs the Zombie, written by our old pal Alex Seropian, over at Gamasutra. For folks interested in some of the aspects of game development done by a small team, there’s some solid info in there. Not to mention a whole mess of cool art, too. Go…
