Corn to the 22nd Power
I lied... today's One One Se7en Archive update is 22 strips, not 21 (one more came in about 5 hours ago). As requested, there are now next/previous links on the strip display itself (so you don't have to come back to the main page to see the next strip). Some of these have been seen before (on our forum), some have not; some are weak, and some are hilarious. It's a grab bag. Go grab. (Next major One One Se7en event, so that everyone remembers, is the Plinth of Art contest, closing in 10 days. If you've been meaning to submit a strip... do it!) Update: Looks like I forgot one; Wado submitted one the week before Christmas, and I missed it in the roundup. It's been added in to its proper location... sorry for the confusion. (If the thumbnails seem to repeat for you, you're caching the old information. Force your browser to reload, and all should be well.) (Louis Wu 11:51:34 UTC) (permalink)
Like No Other
goatrope posted news of a new movie today on our forum. There are a pair of links for download; grab whichever works best for you. It's in XviD format (links to the codec are in the post, as well, if you don't have it), and weighs in at 21.3 mb for a 3:14, 640x480 movie. It consists of tricks performed on HPC multiplayer maps; mostly getting out of levels. My understanding is that this wasn't supposed to be released yet... but then, my understanding isn't always clear, and it's there for all to see on our forum, so go see it.

I Hung My Head
Team Hogan has put together a very moving video; It's set to Johnny Cash's version of Sting's 'I Hung My Head', and follows the music quite closely. Gorgeous cinematics, beautiful timing. There's a thread going on in our forum about it; response is really positive. The original version is 730x480, 23.5 mb, in DivX-encoded AVI format (v4.5, so if you're not up-to-date, you won't be able to watch it); however, the vast majority of the image is simply black space. (The actual content fits into a 360x125 window...) I re-encoded it into QuickTime (v5-compatible), and chopped out all the empty stuff; my version (TH Sloth-approved) comes in at a bit over 13 mb. (It's currently mirrored on files.bungie.org and mythica.org.) Worth watching, and then toss your two cents in to the forum thread! (Louis Wu 10:57:00 UTC) (permalink)
Let's Call the Whole Thing Off.
Yeah, it's true, later today there will be a massive One One Se7en Archive update (21 strips). However, that doesn't change the fact that it's Wednesday, and there's a Stuntmutt strip just waiting to be posted. That Stuntmutt... I think he's lucky most folks don't know where he lives. Tomahto indeed. Lots of 'em. (Louis Wu 03:14:38 UTC) (permalink)
Strategies? Bah!
Halo: Resolution looks at the OTHER side of the Grunt/Elite relationship... (careful where you party, that's all I can say.) (Louis Wu 03:08:15 UTC) (permalink)
Wow, how cool.
PfhorSlayer popped into our forum this afternoon to mention that Aquaduct, the Mac Xbox Tunneling app, had been updated. Majorly updated. It now talks to Xbox Connect... so it's gonna be a race; will the Postpose team finish first, and allow PC and Mac users to play together on Xbox Halo... or will Westlake finish first, and allow PC and Mac users to play together on Mac/PC Halo? Keep an eye on this space to find out. (Louis Wu 00:14:41 UTC) (permalink)
Making your life easier, one link at a time
By popular demand, a new link has been added to the left navbar here; one that contains all the comics we host, plus the two biggies we don't. (I'm sure there are others out there - I remember one that Stosh used to do, for example, and Bungie does some awesome ones - but they're not very coherent; the former is defunct, as far as I know, and the latter set doesn't really have a theme.) Hopefully, this will make your life easier, as you only need one hand to navigate to your daily sketched fix. (Louis Wu 00:03:08 UTC) (permalink)
