That Weasel writes to mention two new videos on the Team X subsite of That Weasel Television; Tantrum and Recoil are now available for downloading (along with 12 other vids that folks might not have seen due to bandwidth issues). All movies are in WMP9 format. Check ’em out!

Following in the Jackal theme, Tina Leyk sent along a quick sketch of a Jackal, just to show a friend that they CAN be drawn… you’ll find the new guy at the bottom of her Fan Art page here at HBO. Rockin’!

Bungie.net has a story promising an update to Halo PC (and CE) tomorrow. The patch will fix an exploit which allows a server to be crashed remotely, and fix the issues caused by Windows XP SP2.

Boxer points out that Episode 7 of Adventures in Disaster is up over at akba.info. A Jackal by any other name would still taste like chicken…

Word from Mhaddy, over at the Junkyard, is that part IV of their Realism in Halo series, focusing on Silent Cartographer, has been posted. Go see what a Marine pilot thinks about Bungie’s military realism on this open-battle level!

Wow, almost missed today’s One One Se7en update because of the traveling. Stuntmutt’s pretty proud of this one – I think the fact that he got it all down on paper before passing out says a lot for his stamina.

Because one batch of Wallpaper is never enough, you need to stop by Halo Babies, for a massive art update, including some very cool collaborative wallpaper done by Gruntsbane and akba. (akba started by vectorizing the MC pose from Zoe’s farewell desktop, and then both akba and Gruntsbane put this image (with various amounts of tweaking) into supercool desktop images, in a variety of sizes.) There’s also a new fan strip, new fan art, and a submission information page. Whew!

Back, finally, from Minnesota. There was no Wallpaper update yesterday (oversight), so here it is today – 10 new desktop images in the Wallpaper Section. Apologies for the delay!

Resident flash monkey BOLL has posted his own take on the Gamestar event. At least *some* people got to play the right version of Halo 2…

You may have noticed the large number of reports of… odd Halo 2 gameplay at the Game Stars Live event in London over the past few days. Stuntmutt tosses his own ideas into the ring in a special Sunday One One Se7en. Update: There’s a MASSIVE (and really-well-written) chronicle of Stuntmutt’s EGN experience on our forum today. That man can write…

Professor Keo put together a very nice video called ‘Storming the Beach‘ – 7.6 mb, QuickTime format, it does a very cinematic job of portraying the beach battle on Silent Cartographer. Check it out!

The problems with one of our three servers have gotten bad enough that I’ve pulled it entirely from the rotation. This means 2 things: the load on the remaining two servers is significantly higher (which might mean more outages)… and it means the Fan Fiction section is entirely offline until I can code a replacement for it. I apologize for this. I’m STILL at a family wedding, and will be for a couple of days more, so changes are going to have to wait a bit. Again, I’m sorry. Fan Fic WILL be back, soon – I just have to give it a home.

Goatrope has opened High Speed Halo, a new website devoted to Halo speed runs. All difficulties, all levels – if you’re interested in seeing how fast you can get through Halo, High Speed Halo is for you! Comments can go in this forum thread.

Internet… connectivity… fading… but there’s still time for a Miscellaneous Art update. Go check out the 10 new pieces. Some pretty cool stuff this time around.

coolp, using the time he spent playing Halo 2 at PAX as a starting point, wrote up a pretty extensive ‘Hands-On Halo 2‘ article over at TalkXbox. Go see if there’s anything you didn’t know.

Interesting article over at the BBC on the science of human physiology as affected by video game playing. Halo is mentioned as a prime example of why there’s motivation for this. Looks like first notice for this came from hminn.

The Bungie Weekly Update can be found today over on the HaloPlanet forum, where you can learn all you ever wanted to know about satan’s underwear drawer, barking helicopters, and elastic-waist pants. Or, at least what Frankie thinks of those things. Just about one month left for development!

Last update for a while. This one points out the new content at Halo Babies… there’s lots of it. A new strip, new strip backgrounds that can be used by folks interested in making guest strips, and a new reality-show-type video chronicling more of the Seattle trip in the Sponsors section (bandwidth 30+ mb movies are expensive to serve). Check it all out!
