    Berzerker dude submitted a trailer for his upcoming Project 117 series to the MPRRS – it passed. They’re hosting the download themselves (their choice) – but because it passed the MPRRS, we’re offering a QuickTime version for those who have trouble with WMP9. Grab the WMP9 from them (9.7 mb) or the QuickTime from us…

    Captain Spark let us know that he’d collected another 9 dialogue snippets from Halo 2 – Johnson’s in fine form. You can grab them at his website (check out the hudless Halo 1 megabattle shots while you’re there), or browse them in our Dialogue Databank.

    Over at Team[3D], you’ll find a pretty cool piece where F13ND and Hotshy explore the glitch known as Double Shot – do it right, you get a 6-bullet burst from your BR, instead of 3. There are upsides (obviously) and downsides to using this, and it’s non-trivial to time right, so go read all the…

    Ducain dropped me an email last night about a new vid that showed up on High Impact Halo’s forum recently – and he was right, it was pretty amazing. This has got to be one of the highest grenade-assisted jumps… ever. (It’s so high that the jumper’s shield begins to recharge before he reaches the…

    A new movie passed the MPRRS yesterday – and while it’s just a trailer to whet your appetite for the upcoming season… it looks great. (One of the reasons it looks great is that it SOUNDS great -the voice acting is top-notch. For all the machinima creators who say “well, ours is good enough” or…

    I’m posting this because I’m positive our mailbox will be flooded with references to it if I don’t… but the standard disclaimers apply. Joystiq has put up a note about some videos available on Microsoft’s online training site for retail employees, discussing the roadmap for promotion of the Xbox 360 over the next three years.…

    I know I said I wouldn’t post more Halo stuff on eBay here for a while… but this is a deal you might not wanna pass up. There’s a Muckle statue currently going for $125, with only 5 hours left – that’s a significant chunk below what they’ve been selling for recently. If you’re looking…

    This week’s Bungie Weekly Update is a bit different than most – it’s a pleasant discourse on user interface, and what Bungie is doing to make the next one you see from them more useful (and easy-to-use) than the last. (The last was no slouch – so that’s a pretty tall order.) There’s also a…
