Dogsounds art - now in its rightful place
A million years ago (okay, last month), dogsounds finished up a pair of art contests on our forum. We've finally put up a page to display the entries to these; any future contests will be added to this page. Check out Dogsounds' Art Contests in our Miscellaneous section.

RvB PSA now AFD
For those who didn't register at the Red vs. Blue site yesterday, your wait is over; the Public Service Announcement is now available to the general public. Go grab it... it's pretty funny. In DivX or QT, high or lo-res. Thanks to Buzby for the heads-up. Update: we got word from Eclarap that Halo-Game, in France, has mirrored the first three RvB movies; if you're on that side of the Atlantic, you might have better download luck there.

Banners, too.
Three new banners have been added to our Banners section - two from Michael Frank and one from GT500E. Check 'em out! (Remember - if you decide you like these banners, and want to use them in your signature on a non b.org forum, you'll have to find your own hosting for them.) (Louis Wu 14:02:03 UTC) (permalink)
Blood Gulch Ballet, done prettier
A few weeks ago, we announced a movie called 'Blood Gulch Ballet', by Rory Hartley and Bill Copeland. It was fun to watch, but the quality left something to be desired. Well, Rory got us both a much-smaller DivX-encoded .avi, and a nearly uncompressed version we were able to use to make a very nice QuickTime version. You'll find both new versions in the Movie Database listing for this flick. (There's no new content; if you're not interested in the higher-quality version, you should pass on this one.)

Halo 2 Cover Art continues to come in
H. Shield has submitted another entry for our Halo 2 Cover Art Contest. (The contest has been over for some time, but we still add new entries to the section when they come in, rather than mix them in with the Miscellaneous Art.) (Louis Wu 12:30:53 UTC) (permalink)
It's big and green.
A gigantic logo has been added to the Logos section. (Louis Wu 12:20:20 UTC) (permalink)
More pictures
Three new desktop images for you this morning... you'll find 'em in our Wallpaper section. (Louis Wu 12:12:50 UTC) (permalink)
HJP mirrors Halo50K Framework
Dinky writes to say that HaloJuggaloProductions has mirrored the Halo50K Framework movie (the large version). If you haven't seen this, you should definitely download it. (We've added the link to our mirrors list.) He also wanted to point out that they're getting a new camera - so upcoming movies from HJP should be of a higher caliber.

Things to look at
8 tidbits of random artwork, ranging from concept art for vehicles to personal hygiene items. Check 'em out in our Miscellaneous Art section. (Remember - if you upload files to our ftp or http directories, we can't post them if you don't identify them... there are some great pieces with no attributions there right now.)

Colorado Cash up for grabs
Dang, this came in Sunday night, but I forgot to post it. Front Range Company 7 (a Seventh Column Chapter) and Colorado Fusion, based in (you guessed it) Colorado, would like to announce 'Se7en', a no-elimination, 4-man team Halo tournament. The competition will be near Denver, CO on May 17, 2003. Registration is $120/team, and top prize is $1000. Check out the details on the Se7en page! (Louis Wu 08:39:12 UTC) (permalink)
TechTV looks at FPSs
Thanks to Pez, who pointed out an episode of TechTV's Extended Play that focuses on first-person shooters. Halo, of course, is covered. The first airing was yesterday... but it'll be showing today at 3:30 am (past) and 7:30 am, as well as Saturday and Sunday of this upcoming weekend. Check the page for details.

Hackin Hog Heaven
PMFLEX Productions has put together another hacking video. It's nicely designed, but we've already said we don't have the bandwidth for more videos showing what you can do with a modded Xbox. Luckily for PMFLEX, That Weasel Television has no such limitation. Hop on by their Halo mirror and grab a copy of Hackin Hog Heaven, in either WMP9 or DivX formats.

Nazis and dinosaurs... and Star Trek
IGN Xbox has put up an Insiders-only article about what Halo 2 would look like if they were in charge. Well... if you read our forum, you've seen a few dozen Halo 2 wishlists such as they end up with, and if you read the Psyjnir Complex, you've seen scenarios as outlandish as IGN's. If you don't have Insider access... well, don't buy it for this story alone. Thanks to Ross Chestnut for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 08:02:07 UTC) (permalink)
Dark Phoenixx is online
NightHawk writes to say that he's put up a website for his Dark Phoenixx Clan. Currently, the only game they play is Halo 2. (I guess that means they're not very busy at the moment...) (Louis Wu 01:05:30 UTC) (permalink)
