Watch Out For Falling Rocks.
Well, normally Sundays are reserved for Sunday One One Se7ens from Stuntmutt, or are left open... but there are a LOT of queued Guest strips, and no official one for today, so what the heck.This one's another Iceman1330 strip - and it looks at the dangers of modding.

His LOTIONS ?
Red vs Blue is suing... everybody. Well, everybody who ever visited the Red vs Blue website. It's all on behalf of their literally dozens of fans around the world. You can get the details from the Red vs Blue PSA #5, currently available on the Sponsors forum (but likely to the rest of the actionable public soon). Go see why you're gonna go broke!

Microsoft posts official system requirements for Halo PC
Now this is just bizarre. Microsoft has their official Halo PC website - but they ALSO have an overview page on the same server... with unique information. Specifically, the overview page contains an official system requirements section that the Official website doesn't have. OS can go as low as Windows 98SE. CD-ROM drive can go as low as 8x. Video card minimum has been defined as '32 MB T&L capable' - more general than the old 'GeForce2 or equivalent' listing. Otherwise, there's not much new here - but it's definitely nice to have an official source for this info. (Louis Wu 02:02:41 UTC) (permalink)
X03 video madness
More on the 7-minute Halo segment from X03; as we mentioned recently, there are a couple of locations for the DivX version (the original source, Xboxyde.com, and a UK mirror). This versions weighs in at 50.7 mb. Blackstar has converted it to QuickTime (obviating the need for me to do it :) ) - and you can grab the 56 mb version either at his site, or at files.bungie.org. Additionally, BlimBlim, the maintainer of Xboxyde (where all this goodness started), popped into our forum to mention a screenshot gallery showing some of the juiciest pieces in fullscreen (718x575) goodness. There are currently 17 shots there - but the number might increase. Lastly, I'd like to thank G-Xis for his enthusiasm and comments. Update: Oops, forgot one; Germany's Halo Orbit has mirrored both the small and large AVIs. Sorry about that! Update2: Found another AVI mirror here (thanks, BiosHacker), and Blackstar has reduced the size of the QuickTime version to 40.6 mb (with no visible loss of quality); both links above now point to the slimmed-down version. Woohoo! (Louis Wu 01:20:50 UTC) (permalink)
