Matt Barham sent along a link to ‘The Pedestrian’, a 20-minute-long vid that served as an english project; he and some classmates attempt to bring Ray Bradbury’s story ‘The Pedestrian’ to life. They crammed 14 hours of filming and editing into a single weekend, and the end result is both funny and entertaining. (Not all…

AnubisUK stopped by our forum to point out that the trailer for Broken Console’s Conquest Part 2 is now available – swing by their website to grab a copy (10 or 15 mb, depending on size, in both WMP9 and QT). Part 1 was a pretty impressive piece of work, and the trailer for Part…

Captain Spark gathered another bunch of Brute snippets for the Dialogue Databank; they’re also downloadable on his website. Those guys are arrogant…(Louis Wu 17:08:42 UTC)

RidgyMrPeepers, of 33 Degrees Films (the website’s not resolving for me yet) submitted ‘Whammy Kablammy: Explosive Barrel Montage’ to the MPRRS, and they said ‘release it’. Fusion cores, painstakingly nudged into lines, are used to blow up hogs, people, whatever. Nice patterns! Should appeal to the ‘I love to blow stuff up’ bit in most…

Matt “Deuce” Andoos sent us a note about some commercials he’s seeing on the Armed Forces Network in Spain; the US Military is using pieces from the Halo and Halo 2 soundtracks as background music for commercials showcasing various jobs. It’s certainly inspirational!(Louis Wu 10:07:30 UTC)

Z pointed out a new Montage Contest over at Halo3Forum.com; total prize money stands at $1500, with at LEAST $700 going to the number one spot. Get to work!(Louis Wu 10:02:32 UTC)

Ducain, the man behind High Impact Halo, the premier Halo 2 tricking site on the web, has been interviewed over at Bungie.net; go see what got him started with Halo! (The questions are quite a bit more serious than the last few spotlights… I think KP is scared of Ducain.)(Louis Wu 22:27:21 UTC)

Flesh Puppet and Gay-Z put together a new Halo 2 rap; swing by their website for more details, or download it from us (6.6 mb, mp3 format). Definitely NSFW – this one needs a strong language warning.(Louis Wu 20:37:48 UTC)

Fascinating! I guess I resubscribed to Wired (I’m not in charge of the bills here) and as a gift, I was sent a supplement called WIRED HOME. Turns out it’s a reprint of sections of their Jan 2005 issue. Centered around folks with plenty of money to burn, and a serious need for their homes…

DrLime and Dog Fashion have started a new monthly column at Halo Planet, called ‘Bungie Monthly Underground’ – the first installment is a treatise on the guns of Halo 2, and how they stack up (or, in the eyes of the authors, DON’T stack up) to the guns as implemented in Halo. If you’re tired…

A few days ago, we posted a note about Tallon IV, a map from the Metroid Online Mapping Team. We PULLED that note after receiving several emails confirming that the map hadn’t actually been released by the team – it had been leaked, and was not (in the eyes of the team) ready for public…

Stuntmutt feels that c0ld vengeance is getting too much front-page space with his rotating screenshots… so today’s One One Se7en is his own take on the genre. I think he should stick to humor. Hmm… I mean… oh, never mind.(Louis Wu 02:36:14 UTC)

Podtacular Episode 71 is up; along with the subjects listed in Podtacular.com’s news post, part of the interview with Mothergoat is also in here. Go listen! Thanks, Laird.(Louis Wu 02:12:56 UTC)

Walshy wrote up a Top 5 Worst Places to Spawn list for MLGPro.com – worth a read! (Where you spawn can tell you a lot about what your opponents are doing…) Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 02:08:24 UTC)

SpartanHunter69 put together ‘The Virus of Life’, a 9 minute story about zombies taking over the world. There is no dialogue – the movie is pretty creepy without it. The MPRRS reviewers loved the darkness, and the lack of speech. The atmosphere rocks. Grab it in WMP9 format (60.6 mb) or QuickTime format (60.1 mb).(Louis…

c0ld vengeance put up another Halo Hide n’ Seek on the forum – it was solved less than an hour later by Dojorkan (again). Still worth trying on your own – some great pics in there (this time all from Outskirts). Check it out!(Louis Wu 02:02:47 UTC)

Joyride Has put up some pics of the latest ‘exclusive’ action figures; check ’em out. (An invisible Prophet of Regret?) Thanks, littlebigman.(Louis Wu 16:56:09 UTC)

Pixellated found a Halo mention in the current comic from ‘The Evil That Men Do’.(Louis Wu 16:53:22 UTC)

Str8 Rippin went down to XiT Woundz in a three-game matchup at the Intel Summer Championships – GotFrag’s got the play-by-play. Update: Oops, looks like I missed a day. GotFrag’s info was only through the Upper Bracket Finals, the first matchup of these two teams; they met twice more, with Str8 Rippin taking both series,…

zugy’s been working on a program that makes line designs – and his first ‘model’ is Stuntmutt’s One One Se7en character. Check out his blog here.(Louis Wu 16:48:41 UTC)
