Stuntmutt takes a crack at Frankie in today’s One One Se7en. It might be missing a little off the top…

Over at Halo2Forum.com, you’ll find a couple of great gameplay vids – Exit Woundz playing TmG and Exit Wounds vs Legendz (plus Fonzi and Ms Hotshy). Snipers on Sanctuary (both of them)… great to see how pros use cover. The first vid is 92 mb, the second 134 – both are WMP9 format. Go watch!

DropShockRadio has posted their suicideXmas edition – in their words, ‘girls get added to the “List” and some Plasma Punchout know-how.’ Just under an hour, 27 mb – go grab a copy!

LordGideon wrote recently to point out that PraetoriaGuard had their first birthday on Saturday – and in celebration, they’ve released Episode 5, a celebration of that birthday, a sad farewell to Skvwire, and a an overall reminiscence of the past year in the Guard. 113 mb, in WMP9 format… go by, grab a copy, and…

Chris Burke, of This Spartan Life, let us know that some special films they’d made for SpikeTV have been put online. (They were originally created as support for Spike’s Videogame Awards show that aired 2 weeks ago, but there were some unavoidable delays – they’re just going up now.) To see them, visit the SpikeTV…

Sponsors vs Freeloaders has released Episode 9 of their Flame War series – this one is titled ‘Faith, Hope, and Duality’. The disparate storylines get more disparate – instead of a single cliffhanger at the end of this one, there are several. As usual, great filming, great voicework – a really nice piece. This episode…

Derik Olsson stopped by our forum to point out Jump Tactics Mix 2, a new video release from the Jump Tactics team – awesome jumps, fantastic filming. If you like Jumping vids, you HAVE to see this one. Download links (AVI,DivX, and WMP9 formats, with QuickTime coming) can be found in this thread on the…

c0ld vengeance slaved away on Christmas day in order to release a new skin for the ClanHBO forum – he did an awesome job matching the look of HBO. Swing by, edit your profile, and choose the ‘HBO’ Board Style to see it. w00t!

Whew! Christmas was a day spent with family and friends, away from electronics of all sorts. (Yes, a number of electronic devices appeared under our tree… but their use was put off until today.) That didn’t stop Halo fans from around the net from celebrating, though – so we’ve got a lot of catching up…

M E R R Y   C H R I S T M A S ! Once again, we here at HBO have snagged an older Bungie Christmas image – they do the drawing stuff better than we do. And once again, we here would like to wish you, there, peace and love during this holiday season.…

We got a very nice holiday wish from Boxer last night – and with that, I think we’ll call it a day. Enjoy your Christmas weekend… we’ll be back updating on the 26th! (There’ll likely be a Christmas post that goes up tonight at midnight, UTC… but there won’t be any more news. Time to…

FireDragon04 points out a thread over at the Gearbox forums, announcing a map pack he’s released for HaloCE. Swing by, check out the screenshots,a nd download The FireDragular Christmas Map Pack!

In the spirit of silly things done by retail stores to get your business, Pat Hillman took a cameraphone snapshot of a box he saw in his local FYE. This, to me, seems to be going just a bit too far…

Gamertag Radio has put up their last audio for 2005 – their 33rd podcast contains an interview with Team3D. Go grab it!

MLG has put up a photo gallery for their Chicago blowout – nice stuff! There’s also a spotlight on Killer N, the Player of the Week this week. Thanks (and Christmas wishes back to) 3Suns.

Over at Halo Babies, there’s a truly bizarre illustrated version of ‘The Night Before Christmas’ – a lot of artists got in on the act. It’s not the story I remember… but it’s unique, that’s for sure! Thanks, mrsmiley.

The Squadron Ep 14 has been released – you can grab the WMP9 version (20 mb) on Broken Console’s site, or the QuickTime (22 mb) from us. I can’t tell you much about it – I’m on my way out the door – but based on past episodes, it’s likely worth the download!

You’d think on Christmas, Cortana would show a little more love for the common Spartan… poor One One Se7en.

We tried a week between Fan Fiction updates (by request of the FF community), and it doesn’t seem like such a bad idea; 16 new entries this week. If the numbers rise to something intolerable, we’ll consider ways to decrease it… but for now, this seems to be working! Go read.

Bah. Sometimes the big sites are just… clueless. Back in early November, we posted a note about a poster that a local FYE in Arlington, VA had put up, touting Halo 3 (which, you might remember, hasn’t been announced yet). The forum thread generated by that picture shows how the image is a poorly-done photoshop…
