Happy Fourth of July!
And that pretty much does it for today; HBO’s taking the rest of this July Fourth holiday off for barbecues, swimming, and maybe blowing stuff up when it gets dark. Enjoy – we’re back tomorrow!(Louis Wu 12:27:47 UTC)

Pinkuh draws Mary Jane
Pinkuh created a pretty cool piece of art for Mary Jane, a co-founder of
the PMS Clan; you can find it in her forum post, or in her HBO Gallery. Those are some long legs!(Louis Wu 12:25:19 UTC)

Questions for Eric Nylund?
KLind has set up an interview with Eric Nylund at the end of the month, and is currently soliciting questions; swing by his forum post for an email address to send them to. The author of Fall of Reach, First Strike, and the upcoming Ghosts of Coral (or whatever it ends up being called) knows quite a lot about the Haloverse… see what you can get out of him!(Louis Wu 12:25:43 UTC)

Spartan Alpha Demo
ban381 posted an old, unfinished Flash game he’d been working on to our forum; artwork is actually quite good. It’s not very big, but if we end up crushing his server with this, we’ll host a local copy.(Louis Wu 12:24:05 UTC)

RRX – the next BXR?
GotFrag has a writeup of the RRX glitch, and how players will need to adapt to best take advantage of it. Remember; this is aimed at the pro community, for the most part; Bungie has said that this (and other exploits that circumvent the normal play of the game) should be considered cheating in Matchmaking. Use these in your custom games, or in tournaments, but keep them out of Matchmade games.(Louis Wu 12:24:34 UTC)

Sargeisms
Red vs Blue is one of the best and most popular machinimas out there! Unfortunately, there are so many videos we can’t host them all. This one video, though, is pretty good. Chances are, you have friends who are fans of Red vs Blue, so impress them with an ‘exclusive’ DVD extra released in an interview on Bungie.net.
Sargeisms is a 2 minute long hilarity of outtakes. Watch!

Eric Nylund – Up Close(r) with the Fans
Eric Nylund has set up a blog – swing by to keep in touch with the author of two (soon to be three) Halo novels! You can contact him directly via an email link available on his profile page.

WikiRiot Ep 5 (both of ’em)
WikiRiot has two separate podcasts today – gestor and LegendaryMark created 005A while at the Clan of Bobs LAN, and Brathnok did 005B by himself (he didn’t make it to the LAN). Almost an hour between the two – go listen!(Louis Wu 15:10:18 UTC)

He’s Suffering?
Against all logic, One One Se7en has reached a mind-boggling 500 strips. (We’re not counting Sundays, holidays, guest strips, or the short-lived Archive.) After reading this one, you’ll wonder… HOW? (It’s a little like lichen – it can live in really hostile environments with almost no nutrition.)(Louis Wu 13:40:13 UTC)

MLG PwnCast Ep 18: Goose Version

Halo and Terrorism
Heh – a newspaper article in the Halifax, Nova Scotia Chronicle Herald was picked up by Kotaku, where it was seen by MereCatFish; Kotaku and most of the posters in Mere’s thread seem to see this as yet another example of the media vilifying video games as potential causes for all sorts of ills (in this case, the Halo-obsessed individual is Zakaria Amara, the alleged ringleader of a group accused of plotting terror attacks in Ontario). I read it slightly differently, though (looks like Cunbelin and My Liege see this spin, as well); the guy didn’t start messing with terrorism until HE QUIT PLAYING HALO. In other words: Halo has the potential to keep you out of trouble! I hear it’ll make your hair grow back, too.(Louis Wu 12:27:23 UTC)
