Vendetta
Zukan created a trailer for Vendetta, a trilogy he’s planning to make in the next few months; it’s garnered a TON of decent press to date, both from the general public, and from the MPRRS reviewers. It’s really, really well done – I’m looking forward with great anticipation to the final product. Grab a copy for yourself, and decide – the QuickTime version is higher quality (and 49.5 mb), but the WMP9 version is just fine too (and 30.3 mb). Go watch.

Valley of the Forerunners, Part 8
Dennis Powers writes to point out that Part 8 of the Valley of the Forerunners is now available for download on the Halo CE Chronicles website. 8:17 long, available in WMP9, QuickTime, and streaming Flash, this part shows Harrington and the Marines a little more about what they’re up against. If you’ve wondered why some of the episodes of this season seem to start and end in non-standard places… Dennis wrote up a short piece explaining the difference between ‘Episodes’ and ‘Parts’, and why this season is laid out as it is. Worth a read!

HUDless Halo
Spartan Jag noticed a bunch of new content at the Halouvre – there’s stuff from Major.Dump and stuff from a new artist, Hikaru. Take a look!

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).

Go read more!

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.

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!)
