Linear MC
ASPMaster showed off a cool little Flash Animation in which the MC is built, top-down. We've added it to our Miscellaneous section (1.4 mb). (Louis Wu 19:34:25 UTC) (permalink)
Grunt Gulch
Grenadiac stopped by our forum to point out a new movie for download at Halomods.com; the MC has been replaced by a Grunt. Great music choice. 8 mb (.rar-compressed), WMP7 format. Dance, boy! (Louis Wu 18:39:14 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Soundtrack - Rereleased, with goodies
Nice find by Ross Mills; there's a Special Edition Halo Soundtrack now for sale, from Sumthing Else Music Works. It comes with a bonus DVD that contains trailers and videos of Halo 2, plus Surround Sound versions of new music. (This is the soundtrack Marty mentioned about a month ago, during a Music 4 Games interview.) Grab it now - Amazon's selling it for $14 (though they say they're not shipping for a month...)! Update: Thanks muchly to Adam Leyland, who points out that the 'Buy' link at Sumthing Else points to the original soundtrack at Amazon.com; it doesn't appear that the new one is available yet. You might want to wait to place that order... (Louis Wu 17:47:15 UTC) (permalink)
Apple using Halo to sell G5s
We mentioned the new MacSoft Halo page a couple of days ago, and others have pointed out the Games page over at Apple... but travis brought to our attention that Halo is not confined to gaming pages any more. On a page devoted to extolling the virtues of the G5's video capabilities, the screenshot at the top of the page is (once again - remember 1999?) a shot from Halo. We've archived it here, in case it gets switched at some point. Yep - when you wanna show how powerful the new G5 really is... Halo is the testbed of choice. (Louis Wu 12:15:40 UTC) (permalink)
SeeMePlayMe hosting a party this week
Missed it when it arrived, but SeeMePlayMe is hosting a kickoff party for its new Platinum Plus Gamer account. They'll be giving away 5 lifetime gold accounts, 2 lifetime Platinum accounts, and one 1-year Platinum Plus Gamer account. This newest account not only allows you to set up a custom server on the fly... but that server will be open to the public (not just those that know its IP address). (More details on the account are here.) The party happens this Friday, November 28th, at 7 pm Central time. There's also a bunch of other giveaways planned. Check 'em out!

Halo Reviews
Couple of Blue's News-reported reviews for you: AllOutGames gave it 89% (though the front-page mention was quite a bit harsher, and even the reviewer made it clear that the 89% was because 90% is their cutoff for a 'stamp of approval'), and Ferrago gave it 84%, complaining about the clunky console-born interface and the 'stuttering framerate'. Ah, well... (Louis Wu 11:38:34 UTC) (permalink)
Killakatari, baby.
Last week, a bunch of HBO regulars (and some new friends) got together at nof's place to celebrate the second anniversary of the Xbox (and Halo) with 14 hours of lan play. nukedude filmed the whole shebang. This isn't your standard lan footage; the actual gameplay takes a back seat to the event itself. (It might not be for everyone.) 34 mb, 9:15 long, WMP9 format. Again, nukedude is hosting it. And speaking of nukedude, a few people asked if a QuickTime version of the Pillar of Art fest film he put up a few days ago could be made available; the quality's not quite as good as the WMP, but for those who can't SEE the WMP, it's certainly watchable. 32 mb, at Mythica.org.

Hello Chief.
GreenMJOLNIR's Guest One One Se7en strip was written a couple of months ago... but the joke's still there. (Louis Wu 10:00:10 UTC) (permalink)
Coverup? Really?
AGAIN with the updates. Finn, this time, picks out some of the juicier morsels from the Halo Story mailbag (and a forum post or two) to peel another layer of mystery from the onion that is Halo. Go read. (Louis Wu 08:58:24 UTC) (permalink)
