I Like Birds - a lot.
Well, this one's out of order, a little... but we're having trouble contacting the next guy on the list. Hickadam, shown in the past to have a pretty amazing sense of timing, has come up with a new movie. It's called 'Birds', and it looks at some of the most loveable creatures in Halo. The original is a wmv file. Thanks to Cybrfrk, we were able to convert this to a high-quality MPEG, which was then converted to a QuickTime movie for all those who have trouble with Windows Media Player files. Grab the one that works best for you. Mythica has the 10.8 mb WMV, and the 10.4 mb MOV, and the Psyjnir Complex Hotline server has both, as well. (Mirrors are, of course, always appreciated.) I loved this one. (And Eels rock.) Update: Thanks to That Weasel, who's put both versions up at That Weasel Television. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 13:17:15 UTC) (permalink)
Movies at Nukedude
Two movies hosted by Nukedude - there's a mirror of the recently released Lethal Rage, and a movie by forumgoer Danny, showing gameplay on Blood Gulch. Thanks, Nukedude! (Louis Wu 12:46:21 UTC) (permalink)
Someone's always watching...
Three new banners from our own Cybrfrk - two large and one small, all in the Banners section. (Louis Wu 12:42:47 UTC) (permalink)
More pretty artwork
The miscellaneous artwork submission is smaller than the desktop one today; just one image. Again, there was more, but it came unattributed. Nothing we can do with it... Anyway, check the Miscellaneous Art section for BOLL's fun take on what to do about lamers... (Louis Wu 12:25:48 UTC) (permalink)
Art for your screen
The desktop art has been building up for a few days; this week was spent working on getting ready for E3. However, we're clearing the inbox today. We've got seven for you... you'll find 'em in the Wallpaper section. Misc art will come soon, as well as a few new banners; there were 10 very nice new banners in our uploads folder, but they came with zero identification, so there's nothing we can do with them. Once again - no ID, no postee. (Louis Wu 12:13:01 UTC) (permalink)
The Love Lives On.
An interesting tidbit of off-topic news... SilverBrin has posted a note explaining about the setup of the official Brian Morden Foundation, an organization set up in memory of Brian Morden, better known as *Ar-Isildur around these parts. Visit the links for more information, or to buy one of the cool <3 T-shirts. (Louis Wu 11:07:06 UTC) (permalink)
Psst... wanna free Cortana figure?
Email from EVILDARKZERO reminded us that we never mentioned the Halo Action Figure Contest being run in the June issue of OXM. To win the full line of soon-to-be-released Halo action figures, all you need to do is send an email to xboxmag@futurenetworkusa.com, with your name, address, email and phone number, and you'll be entered. (They're picking 25 winners at random.) You can also send a letter to
Halo Action Figure ContestEntries must be received no later than June 15, 2003, and the winner will be chosen on or about July 1, 2003. C'mon... what do you have to lose? (Contest is open to residents of the US only, sorry. And for some bizarre reason, it's void in Rhode Island, too. And Puerto Rico. And where prohibited by law. I think it's good to go in Peoria, however.) (Louis Wu 02:40:21 UTC) (permalink)

Now THAT'S intriguing.
Somehow this got missed by the majority of Fanfest attendees... thanks to Warbow for pointing it out. A few days ago, a letter went out to all attendees, with information about logistics, a schedule, and a description of what will be going on. One of the subsections of the general overview was titled 'Videos Galore' - it described some of the video footage that will be visible throughout the night. Most of it was expected, and I guess I must have skimmed it... because I missed this line:
"...a Halo 2 documentary being produced for an upcoming special on the Discovery Channel...
Whoa. A WHAT? Okay, certainly MY appetite is whetted... if we discover more about this before the show, we'll be sure to post it. (Louis Wu 02:21:18 UTC) (permalink)
Things that make you go Hmm...
Tiny but potentially significant Halo Story Page update... thanks, Finn. (Louis Wu 01:42:37 UTC) (permalink)
