NoobSpotting
Another imSuck movie made it through the MPRRS yesterday – this one is called ’10 ways to tell if you’re a noob’, and it combines (as usual) great editing with entertaining commentary on various noobish activities. Grab a copy in either WMP9 format (45.9 mb) or QuickTime format (47.5 mb).

More MLG News
Holy Pro Gaming, Batman! I should check my mail before I post news. There was an email from 3Suns with a TON more MLG links; we’ve got press releases about new sponsorship deals (specifically Boost Mobile and Scion Auto), and we’ve got a new Player of the Week article (this one focuses on Mack). Go read more!

MLG TV – Almost Here
Apologies for the news blackout; connection from this hotel is MUCH more difficult than I’d expected. Let’s start with some MLG news – Pieter Kok pointed out that MLG is about to launch a television show; you can find links to more info on MLG’s site. Pretty cool stuff!

Judas Is Still Waiting…
Stuntmutt shows that he’s happy to hit religion as hard as he hits the English language in today’s One One Se7en – being posted a few hours earlier than usual because it’s not clear how much online time I’ll be getting before Monday night.

Contest Candidate Cornucopia
Just a quick note – the submission deadline for the 7 on the 7th contest has come and gone; it’s all over but the judging. We received more than 250 submissions for this contest – there are a LOT of you who want a shot at a free signed soundtrack! What’s probably going to happen is that we’ll pare down the submissions to a reasonable number, and then let the public vote on the final choices; the only thing I wanted to make clear is that it might take us a little longer than we’d originally estimated to get this all ready. (I’m out of town right now, so I don’t have access to all of my normal tools.) We ask that everyone stays patient; we’re not talking weeks of delay here, just a few days. When we know more, we’ll pass it along!

Lookie
Mothergoat released a followup to the MPD vid that hit the Halo scene a month and a half ago. Vanilla Ice got NUTHIN’ on this white boy. You gotta watch this, even if you hate rap. Cause it’s hilarious. Just over 50 mb, in WMP9 format (see Mutha G’s forum post for a download link) – if you need a QuickTime version, we’re hosting one for him because laughter is the best medicine. Think of this as a huge Benadryl-and-Robitussen cocktail.

IAC Model Updated
Stephen Loftus has released a couple of new images of his ‘In Amber Clad’ scratchbuilt model – we’ve added them (and his descriptive text) to his progress page here at HBO. Check it out – fiber-optic lighting looks pretty slick!

Hot Stuff in the HaloCE World
TheGhost has moved his pretty amazing collection of links to HaloCE tutorials to a permanent home at Halomaps.org, courtesy of Dennis Powers – swing by for links to every fan-created tutorial related to content creation for Halo: Custom Edition you can think of! There’ve been a number of significant updates to this project since we first mentioned it in November. (And while TheGhost had our ears, letting us know about this move, he pointed out a pretty amazing release by Tiamat; a map called Coldsnap, with jets, Longswords, and Pelicans in play, along with mechs, walking creatiures, and a number of original vehicles – plus C4 explosions, new weapons, and more. Go grab a copy!)

A Labor of Love
SIRBOE created a really amazing-looking Halo sword (you gotta take a close look at the handle), and sent us a bunch of pics. At first glance, there are a lot of dupes – but he wanted to get a bunch of different angles to show you all the details. (For each pic, there are a couple of filtered variations – an inverted image which looks ‘blue’, and a glowing version.) Check it out – that is one sweet piece of work!

A Different Kind of Machinima
Funky. Bloody Grunt and Black Sky Productions are putting together ‘Endurance Halo‘ – fourteen players will face off in smaller and smaller teams, until only one from each team remains; finally, until only one remains. The entire thing will be filmed, and cut into an ‘unscripted combat gameshow’. It won’t be happening until this summer, but if you’re interested, sign up now (check the links on the site). Thanks, HavokBlue.

Short Circuit
Slacker Entertainment has posted Heroes & Heretics Flashback 4: Short Circuit. In Episode 3, you met the Helots – unaugmented soldiers wearing modified Spartan armor. Except for getting killed a lot, they seemed like a competent bunch… but Short Circuit tells a different story. A significantly more entertaining one. And I LOVE the medic. Swing by and pick up a copy – funny stuff.
