Housecleaning, and Hurt
The Movies database has finally been brought up-to-date; movies from the last 6 weeks have all been added. There's a new movie there, too - it's called 'Hurt', and it's mostly Blood Gulch gameplay (with some cutscene footage added nicely for flavor), set to Johnny Cash's remake of NiN's 'Hurt'. It's available in both QuickTime and WMP9 formats, weighs in at 13.4 mb (QT) or 17 mb (WMP9), and lasts just over 4 minutes. Hosting is currently provided by Mythica and the Psyjnir Complex, but we're happy to add mirrors to that list. Grab your flavor. Update: ICDedPpl gets our back - Hurt (the QT version and the WMP version) is mirrored at the MOSHPIT. (Louis Wu 17:43:52 UTC) (permalink)
Edge mentions modded Xboxes, and Halo
Stuntmutt points out that Halo Hacking gets a mention in the latest issue of Edge magazine (number 122, April 2003) - and so does HBO. (They point to the mirror link for the very first hacking film. Hopefully, visitors reading that will explore and discover the OTHER hacking movies... they should be in the Movies database within the hour.) Update: poena.dare points out that today is the 8-year anniversary of Bungie modding, in general. (Well, sort of - Mia was available before Pfhorte was, but that's a story for another day.) Check Bungie Sightings for details. (Louis Wu 16:55:17 UTC) (permalink)
Gnomes rebel - story at 11
In a surprising twist, the Halo Story Page is NOT updated today. (Finn actually has real life work tugging at his coattails, and mnemesis... well, mnemesis is mnemesis.) I must say, however, that it was a struggle to make this happen... so if you're not watching carefully, there might be an update in the not-too-distant future. (Louis Wu 16:42:05 UTC) (permalink)

Free book drawing just 2 weeks away
ICDedPpl is EXTREMELY worried you might have forgotten that his Seventh Column chapter is running a giveaway for Halo: The Flood. If you haven't signed up yet, go do it. I'm learning what 'flood' means... (Louis Wu 02:26:19 UTC) (permalink)
For the 777th time...
I hate doing this - but some of you give me zero choice. :( Once again, there are items in our uploads folder that have no attribution (or worse, have SOME attribution, but not enough). If, for example, you've sent a movie that hasn't been posted, and you haven't received an email from us about it, do not resend the film. Rather... give us a way to contact you. Include your email address. Even if you don't want it published, include it in the readme (feel free to tell us not to publish it - we won't). We have no way of contacting you otherwise. And we're tired of getting the same file over and over, with us not posting it (for whatever reason) and you thinking we didn't get it and sending it again. If you're not willing to let us contact you privately, the likelihood is that we're not willing to host your creation. (Louis Wu 02:19:50 UTC) (permalink)
