Um... I don't know what to say.
Sometimes, we get movie submissions that don't meet our guidelines... because they're so far out there they can't even be HELD UP to the guidelines. Halo War is one of those. 215K of MC-rockin' insanity. So if you watch that, and say to yourself, "self, where can I get more of that MC-rockin' insanity?" - well, look no further than the 'Halo 2: are u ready?' trailer, also from Paul - 292K worth of mind-bending Halo 2 action. (Both movies are in QuickTime format.) It must be Friday. (Louis Wu 21:03:55 UTC) (permalink)
Carnage in Kansas
kiro69 sends word of a Wichita, KS Halo tourney to be held on May 24 - $5 entrance fee, to be pooled and paid out to the 3 top finishers. More details can be found at the 7th Column chapter Midwest Assassins. (Louis Wu 20:50:30 UTC) (permalink)
MSNBC Poll (and article)
MSNBC has an article asking whether Half-Life 2 and Doom III can revive game sales. Halo (and Halo 2) are mentioned at the end of the article, in a section entitled 'Don't forget the consoles' - and there's a poll attached to the article asking which game you'd like to have delivered to your door tomorrow. Halo 2 is running third... but only by about 150 votes (out of nearly 2500 cast). See what you can do about that! (Thanks to Lophan for the heads-up.) (Louis Wu 20:40:27 UTC) (permalink)
One One Se7en, Episode 2 - and a comic status update
We said he'd be adding one every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday... and he is. Stuntmutt's second comic ('Splinter Sell') goes live today. It's likely that we'll be adding a Comics subsection to HBO to house this, Warbow's Calvin and Halo, Hack Trio's... thing, and a new one by Mathjis Buster (and anything else that comes along) pretty soon.

Rhapsody - now in MPEG
Earlier today (okay, last night, local time), we posted a note about a movie we couldn't watch, hosted by That Weasel Television. Thanks to the kindness of our forumites, we had a couple of flavors submitted that we COULD watch; we've tossed Lion's MPEG version up to Mythica - it's 27.2 mb (as opposed to the original 21 mb). You can grab it here. Enjoy! Update: You can watch it on YouTube, now, too. (Louis Wu 18:06:07 UTC) (permalink)
I like to sit... and spin.
A little while ago, we put up a page dedicated to BOLL's cool panoramic Halo shots. Recently, he built a wicked-cool Flash interface for viewing these... so we've dumped it into the directory here. Use the plain-vanilla page we built... or BOLL's much slicker viewer. (Benefit of ours, I guess, is that downloading the files is much easier.) (Louis Wu 00:13:38 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Tourneys in Arkansas
synide has put together a website for tournaments in the Jonesboro, Arkansas area. If you're interested, stop on by and sign up! (Louis Wu 00:09:59 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Rhapsody
Ross Mills has created a Halo movie in which (I think) the Queen song 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is acted out, using Halo characters. Ross wasn't able to figure out how to convert his WMP9 movie into a format we could read, so he's gone elsewhere for hosting; That Weasel Television has put it up... and given it the That Weasel Seal of Approval. Maybe someday I'll get to see it - but in the meantime, if you have a computer that can view WMP9 films, head over to That Weasel TV and grab this 21 meg movie. (Louis Wu 00:03:57 UTC) (permalink)
