67th Raptors now online
The 67th Raptors have gone live with their website, dedicated to the only operational Halo 2 clan out there. (There was an earlier one, but they've already disbanded, it seems.) Taking a page from Bungie themselves, color-wise, they've put together a pretty spiffy site - check 'em out! (Louis Wu 21:50:06 UTC) (permalink)

A note: The last story is in French. I was going to reject it... but then I remembered that we already had a story in German. However, a warning: this is the last non-English story we will accept, without an accompanying translation. Sorry - we just don't have the resources. Update: thanks to the half-dozen people who submitted translations of the French story - we've picked the one that we think is closest to the original (in spirit), and posted it - Ghôlsbane's The Day of a Grunt (translated). Enjoy! (This doesn't change our decision to keep the English-only requirement from here on out...) (Louis Wu 16:20:50 UTC) (permalink)
Timing
Well, Mythica's back down to it's standard 5 Mbit/sec serving rate, so the Birds spike is over; time for the NEXT movie. This one's from Mister E, and it's called 'Timing'. The theme is exactly that - there are lots of 'kill and then die' sequences, with some very nice integration with the trance-like music. It's just under 2 minutes, and is available in both Windows Media Player 9 (18.1 mb, 640x480) and QuickTime (12.4 mb, 480x360) formats from Mythica, as well as mirrors at That Weasel Television (the QT version there is 10.1 mb, and of lower quality) and the Psyjnir Complex Hotline server (the QT version is the 12.4 mb version).
