Looks like we're not the only ones here...
Halogamers has put up Episode one of its Sidewinder Saga. 2:39 long, in QuickTime format, it's available in two resolutions: 640x480 (23.5 mb) and 320x240 (7.2 mb). Nice filming! The story's off to a rollicking start. (Louis Wu 19:07:38 UTC) (permalink)
Paper for your digital wall
Six desktop images in the queue today, now cleared out and placed in the Wallpaper section. See what captures your fancy. (Louis Wu 18:29:26 UTC) (permalink)
IGN explains those movies
More content from IGN - the movies posted last night (that went up with an article on Halo PC Sound) now have an Insider article to go with 'em, explaining what they're showing. 3 pages of explaining, even. (Well, they're short pages.) The movies, which were only available in a large (640x480) size last night, can now be grabbed in either 640x480 or 320x240. Thanks to ;@PTUR3 for the heads-up.

Cool pictures
Pretty interesting collection of Miscellaneous Art for you today, from a kneeling MC (that would work wonderfully as a desktop image, even though it was explicitly submitted to the Misc Art section) to an oil painting of the Chief, to the DOA girls playing Halo... go look at all of 'em.

Red vs Who?
It's not that usual for us to release two movies back-to-back... and it's certainly unusual for a movie to be released ahead of its spot in the queue, but I'm leaving soon, and this one's not very big. Team Sexy (whom you might remember from their 'Hall of the Sidewinder King' piece) has whipped up 'Red vs Who', a pretty funny (and quite short) look at grudge matches. 1:32, QuickTime 5 format, 6.8 mb. Grab a copy today! (Louis Wu 15:11:23 UTC) (permalink)
Requiem for Halo: new movie
Athol Productions has put together an artistic look at Halo 2; snippets of existing movies, interspersed with stills, all nicely composited. Nice soundtrack, too. 'Requiem for Halo' is available in both QuickTime 5 (19.6 mb) and WMP 9 (21.4 mb) formats. It's 4:55 long, and has a screensize of 320x240. Take a look! (Louis Wu 12:33:46 UTC) (permalink)

Halo PC Sound - yeah, baby!
IGN continues to pour out the Halo PC goodness - today they focus on sound. Good questions, and lots of vids. Streaming lo-res vids for everybody, hi-res downloadables for Insiders. (There's even footage of the flamethrower.) Go get your fill! Thanks to Dan Chosich for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 03:00:45 UTC) (permalink)
My men are NOT the enemy.
Thirty new dialogue snippets for the Dialogue Databank, including a bunch of Monitor sayings and some pretty rare Sgt. Stacker quotes. (Before anyone gets on my case, there are some that are pretty similar to existing quotes - but they differ in small but substantial ways.) Thanks to Captain Spark and c0ld vengeance for this lot.
