Hellhawk turned in a comedy that uses stock (well, almost stock) cutscene footage, and some REALLY well-done voice acting, to create a pretty funny comedy vid he calls ‘Floaty Silence’. The MPRRS gave it a thumbs-up, and it had me laughing – grab it in WMP9 (39.4 mb) or QuickTime (42.4 mb) formats, and check…

On Monday, we posted a link for Talent’s Final Montage trailer, being hosted at Halo3Forum.com. Although there’s plenty of bandwidth for it there, Halzred submitted it to the MPRRS for feedback anyway – and they liked it, quite a lot. if you want the WMP9 version, you’re still welcome to grab it from H3F -…

Lot of movie stuff today; I went through the MPRRS database, looking for strays. I found a few, too. Most are either taken care of or in the PROCESS of being taken care of – but two are in limbo; I’ve sent the creators multiple emails each, with no response. All I can think of…

I missed this on Monday – but halomaps.org has instituted a rating system for maps; you can now vote for your favorite HaloCE creations, to help other people decide which maps are worth downloading. Take a look!(Louis Wu 04:24:09 UTC)

c0ld vengeance is back, with a new 3D screenshot (available, as usual, in both standard QuickTime format and QTVR format) – this time it’s the Master Chief, laying the smack down on the Prophet of Regret. Awesome pic! Go grab a copy.(Louis Wu 03:36:08 UTC)

Out of Mind is a Red vs Blue miniseries that launched on Xbox Live Marketplace in mid-June; it was suposed to be weekly (or nearly weekly), but it’s not until tonight that Episode 2 was released (thanks, HaloMarine117). If you don’t HAVE Xbox Live Marketplace – never fear. Rooster Teeth finally got permission (you might…

Something Awful has a Comedy Goldmine article up – forum regulars over there created posters for movies that starred videogame characters. The Master Chief turns up in two – Monster House and Reservoir Dogs. Thanks to DemanusFlint, who pointed these out – and I agree with him that the first one doesn’t make a lot…

Mintz waited patiently for us to let you know about some updates on Halo: Portable – a new podcast, a bunch of PSP-ready Bungie articles… we forgot, so he reminded us. So we’re telling you. Go read/listen.(Louis Wu 22:06:32 UTC)

The Video Games Live performance in Chicago is coming up soon – and a press release went out today; you can read it here. This is a great chance to meet Marty O’Donnell and Mike Salvatori – if you’re in Chicago this weekend, you should get yourself to the Rosemont Theatre on Saturday!(Louis Wu 21:56:14…

Cybrfrk found an older (10 months ago) EXTRALIFE comic that’s Halo-related… and pretty funny. Or it would be, if we didn’t see it played out on forums around the net…(Louis Wu 21:30:11 UTC)

One of the newest hires at Bungie is Cam Pinard, better known to the longtime Bungie fan community as Cunbelin. (In fact, you gotta be a REAL old-timer to recognize the name; he’s been mostly absent for a while.) KP sat down with him and got a few choice morsels out of his labyrinthine brain…

SEspider showed up with a new episode of Miniature Halo – you can read it in our forum (along with a movie poster for a movie that probably won’t be made), or in the Miniature Halo section.(Louis Wu 18:27:24 UTC)

Heh – Cress77 stopped by to show off a fun shirt he made; I wonder how many people look at him funny when he walks down the street?(Louis Wu 18:16:41 UTC)

High Hat 314 wrote to let us know that MediaGamers.com is back online with the start of the new month; this is relevant because we mentioned a 2v2 tourney they’re setting up about a week ago – but they immediately ran out of bandwidth, and folks couldn’t sign up. If you were interested, but couldn’t…

Troy Hudzinski sent along word of an upcoming paintball game in Kingston, Michigan – ‘Searchings’ will take place on September 9, and has a backstory based on a fanfic. The event is to raise money for Carriage Town Ministries in Flint, MI – so if you’re in the area, sign up and get to role-playing!(Louis…

Derik Olsson spent a ridiculous amount of time weeding through our Links page, listing dead or duplicated links – we’ve pared down almost 200 no-longer-valid entries. Stop by and see what IS fresh! (Thanks, Derik!)(Louis Wu 17:46:58 UTC)

deftangel dropped by our forum with a story about a very cool Spartan model, made from sculpy, then cast in resin – check out the pic in his post, and then follow the link to the sculptor’s website for more angles. (You might want to check out the rest of his portfolio, as well -…

This weekend, a music video set to Nickelback’s ‘Hero’, submitted by MaritalBlaze54, passed the MPRRS – but our bandwidth was getting tight, so we held onto it until today. The song’s been used in a lot of Halo vids before – but never really as a story by itself. Very nicely filmed. Grab it in…

Captain Spark turned in another 16 dialogue snippets, including some new Cortana tidbits. You can browse them in our Dialogue databank, or grab a zipfile from his website.(Louis Wu 17:18:00 UTC)

New artwork from Pinkuh – a shout out to a Halo artist who shares her name. I’m gonna have trouble looking at Elites the same way again… (We’ve added this to her gallery here, as well.)(Louis Wu 14:18:46 UTC)
