After Stat wrote to point out a video over at Final Supremacy – it’s called ‘Four on One’, and is exactly that – a nicely filmed game of slayer on Lockout, where all of the Blue team except for one quit at the start. I’m not sure where it goes – the resolution isn’t nearly…

Tempus Fugit pointed out an article at TeamXbox about some of the content that will be available on the Live Marketplace when the 360 launches next week – and Red vs Blue videos are among the items you will be able to download. Nice!

Well, not really… Halo, the GAME, was available on the 9th or 10th of November, 2001… but you didn’t have anything to play it on until the 15th. So for all intents and purposes, today is Halo’s fourth birthday – and what a run it’s been!

SketchFactor posted an update in last week’s Weekly Update (scroll down to the bottom, look for ‘EDIT’) explaining that because of community outcry, they’re NOT going to pull the Big Team Battle playlist from XBL; it will remain, as it is today. (The unranked 16-player playlist they were talking about will not go up right…

Stuntmutt takes a look at the Halo script reviewed recently by Latino Review in today’s One One Se7en. This one was supposed to be worked out by c0ld vengeance… but he was otherwise occupied.

Thirteen new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section today. None of them were written by c0ld vengeance… but they COULD have been. Go read.

Foo Mo Jive points out that Episode 27 of Podtacular is up – it discusses upcoming playlist changes, the next tournament, and more. (We also missed Episode 26, Customs and Call-ins, which was released on Saturday.You’d think c0ld vengeance would have mentioned it…)

Thanks to Narcogen, who did a nice job over at Rampancy.net of rounding up some reviews of the Mac and PC versions of Stubbs the Zombie, Wideload’s Halo-engined game. Gamespy grabbed the PC version, Inside Mac Games and MacWorld tackled the Mac version, and Gaming Horizon did a more general (probably Xbox-based) review. c0ld vengeance…

Marty O’Donnell posted a pretty important note in the Marty Army 7th Column group – some folks have had trouble following this link, so I’m going to post the content here (with Marty’s permission):If you buy an Xbox 360 – DO NOT play your old Halo or Halo 2 games without getting the update from…

Cybrfrk spent the day at the Arizona State High School marching band competition yesterday (congrats to his son’s band, rated as Excellent at the event!). He was taking pictures with his digital camera when Sandra Day O’Connor High School, from Deer Valley, Arizona, took the field – they performed a program called ‘Halo 2’. He…

Jillybean points out that the Halo Story Page has been updated. Busy beavers over there…

There’s a pretty impressive montage over at Halo2Forum.com – ItWasLuck has released a bunch of full game vids (not montages, but start-to-finish games) with halo pros in them, now you can see some of the highlights of these and other matches. The guy is pretty impressive with a sniper rifle. 83 mb, WMP9 format.

Mintz sends word that Halo: Portable is now online. It’s all about providing Halo content for the Playstation Portable – if you have a PSP, this is a site you should visit! Check it out.

Juxtapose points out that if you’re a Bell Sympatico High Speed DSL subscriber (yeah, you have to live in Canada), you can get a free Xbox or Xbox360 game when you sign up for certain Xbox Live subscriptions. Details can be found on his Arbiter’s Judgement blog.

Wow. Spent yesterday at the Machinima Festival, where Rooster Teeth went home with 3 Mackies (Excellence in Machinima Writing for P.A.N.I.C.S., Best Editing (for Strangerhood), and Best Independent Machinima (for Red vs Blue Season 3), and Chris Burke went home with Best Machinima Series for This Spartan Life. (Since we provide Chris with his movie…

Wired has an article about the Machinima Film Festival (where I’ll be headed in a few hours, actually) and machinima in general – there’s a brief mention of Red vs Blue, which gives us our Halo hook. (Other Halo projects will be up for awards today – they just weren’t mentioned in the article.) Thanks,…

Last night, Chairleg Productions’ Waiting In Line passed the MPRRS – we’d already posted a note about it, and Chairleg said they weren’t looking for hosting… but passing the MPRRS means we’re happy hosting versions the original host isn’t offering – so for folks who’d rather watch QuickTime (and who don’t want to settle for…

Halo: Blood Covenant is a 2D sidescroller we haven’t heard from since May – but last night Tucker let us know that they’ve released a short (38 second) vid showing some of the progress they’ve made. The last time they released a movie, it killed their servers – so we’re putting up copies of this…
