    Episode 70 is sitting in my inbox, so it will be available as soon as I get home tonight and set it up. In the mean time, we’re recording an episode tomorrow, so we need some stuff to talk about!


    I drop nublets like bad habits


    Are you this good? If so, why not share a little bit of your expertise with others in the Halo community? We’re looking for Halo 2 gameplay tips this episode for levels 25-35. If you have a Halo 1 or Halo CE tip, we’d be glad to talk about that too. Just write your tip, spellcheck it, click the link on the right side that says submit news and tips, and paste it in there with your gamertag so we can give you credit.


    Map of the month: everything!


    Some people have been waiting to share an awesome tip for a map, but it’s not map of the month yet. So this time we’re opening it up to map-related tips for any Halo 2 map! Send us your CTF/assault strats, CTF/assault defense, sniper spots, jumping tips, carney holes, how to own in slayer, etc. and we’ll talk about it.


    Deadline for all this stuff is Thursday night. As usual, the earlier you get it in, the more likely your tip will be read on the show. So send your tip now!

    That’s right, we’ve finally gone off our rockers.

    A little while ago, I figured that since we’re already whipping out movies in iPod format, we might as well make a video podcast. You can get the feed here.

    It’s on Podcast Pickle right now, and it’ll be on iTunes and Podcast Alley soon. When it does, we’ll link you guys, and send out what passes as a press release, but is really just an e-mail to the podtacular guys and HBO. 😀

    This vidcast is just the iPod formatted movies we’ve released, minus the Halo 3 movies due to an FTP problem, but in an easily downloadable form.

    UPDATE:

    Now available on iTunes!

    If you have another podcast receiver, copy and paste this feed:

    Have a good Independence Day, everybody! Eat some barbecue, watch some fireworks, and sing a song! Actually no, please don’t sing. If you’re not American, then have fun not doing anything special.

    Zarin, obviously from the States, made a fun patriotic video, featuring Grand Old Flag, by George M. Cohan, over at High Impact Halo, and we’ve got it in the usual flavors.

    Hope you guys have a great day barbecuing, hanging out with friends, playing some Halo, and watching fireworks. Just resist the urge to snipe the fireworks before they’re scheduled to go off. Smile

    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 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)

    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)

    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?

    —

    by

    HBO
    in
    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)

    HaloGM is a CS Source-based Halo mod using Garrysmod – this forum post contains download links and a few screenshots of Wizard. Take a look! Thanks, Samir Patel.(Louis Wu 12:23:37 UTC)

    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!
