RvB - potential snag
Just a heads-up... The Red vs Blue team had a hard drive failure last night, and the current work is (at the moment) unreachable. They've got hopes for it, and in any case it's only the most recent work; all past episodes are doubly backed up on DVD. To tide over Sponsors, there's a trailer for a movie Buzby and Matt did a few years ago posted in the Sponsors forum. (Makes me want to find the whole thing...) Everyone else... just sit tight.

MXB hacks Halo
We just got word of a new Halo movie, made by Stephen of MXB, showing off some hacking stuff. (Mostly projectile switching, but also some vehicle spawning, and the like.) It's all based in Blood Gulch. It's 6:26 long, in WMP7 format, and weighs in at a tad over 10 mb. It's hosted by MXB. (Louis Wu 14:00:30 UTC) (permalink)
New Themes, New People
4 new themes have been added to the 7th Column roster - you can make your Chapter over in one of three Halo-related themes (Shotguns is pretty cool), or (my favorite) a 7th Column theme known as Euphoria Station. SketchFactor also managed to slip in the information that there are two new members of the Bungie Online Team - Claire and Zoe (last names and handles were not included). Welcome aboard, from your dedicated fanbase! (Louis Wu 11:10:32 UTC) (permalink)

A couple of these came really close to being rejected for lack of proofreading... folks, put a LITTLE time into presentation, okay? (Louis Wu 10:51:50 UTC) (permalink)
More screen mirrors
A couple more mirrors for the Fanstock screenies - Sector 7 has put them up, and so has Tec[H]noGeeK. They're spreading... this is a good thing, for bandwidth reasons. (Louis Wu 10:41:45 UTC) (permalink)
I need a Red Baron Skin - stat.
Gearbox has put up a new screenshot on their Halo Project Page for your viewing pleasure... some banshee dogfighting goodness. (It's a bit like this shot, posted by Gamespot about a month ago... except bigger. And better framed.) Thanks to illuminati`FoOKz for the heads-up on our forum. (Louis Wu 09:48:26 UTC) (permalink)
But does it run away?
Hehe... Hamid Djangi points out a Suzuki concept car that sort of resembles... a Grunt? Bizarre. (Louis Wu 09:05:12 UTC) (permalink)
One One Fif7y.
Whoa. Has it really been that long? Stuntmutt's One One Se7en celebrates a milestone, of sorts - episode 50 is posted today. Say hello to his little friends... (Louis Wu 09:00:54 UTC) (permalink)
That would totally look hot in my garage, dude.
Check this out - Wraith has added another (the last?) vehicle to the list of pilotable craft. (The Longsword is still a holdout, but I'm doubting there's a real model of it in the game... well, maybe in the final cutscene.) Original movie is his - I just made it small. Too bad its gun doesn't seem to be controllable! (Louis Wu 02:27:27 UTC) (permalink)
Leave No One Dry
lol - I BET they didn't get Bungie's permission for this one. (If you can't see it, it's because they yanked it - drop us an email.) Thanks to WortroW for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 02:20:26 UTC) (permalink)
