PtO posts movies
Will, aka [-PtO-]_EteRnaL from PtO (a halo clan that plays on XBC), sent along a link to his collection of movies; you can find everything from gameplay to glitches. Check 'em out... and hit the contact link at the bottom of the main page if you've got any questions about joining the clan, or comments about the films. (Louis Wu 18:10:00 UTC) (permalink)
Halo-Themed Music
SexyJosh, from Team Sexy Films, has been writing some Halo-themed music recently; there are currently two songs available on his website. Lament to Keyes is a 4-minute ballad, and Cortana is half as long, twice as fast, and a bit ruder. If you like the music, explore the site; there's quite a bit more, non-Halo-related, stuff. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 18:01:12 UTC) (permalink)
Change that text... NOW
w00t - Xhzjang, the guy who brought you the Halo No Hud mod a few days ago, now brings you the Halo Font Editor. Change the ingame halo text - mess with its color, font style, even its location. Fantastic for folks who are tired of having action obscured by chat... or folks trying to make movies without chat at all. Grab this today; it's only 35K! Thanks to Reppyboyo for the heads-up.

Wave 3 - on sale now
Devin Olsen points out that Series 3 of the Halo Action Figures (Banshee, Blue Master Chief, Marines, and Johnson) have moved from 'Pre-order' to 'Order' status at DieCast Express. Buy 'em while they're hot! (Louis Wu 17:17:23 UTC) (permalink)
Cortana.org is back
Looks like Cortana.org has come back online. It's positioned to be a file repository for Halo mods... once the Halo Editing Kit gets released. For now, it's just a design - go check it out! Update: Hehe - looks like I got corrected. :) There's a new news post up at the site explaining what it's REALLY about. (Louis Wu 17:06:01 UTC) (permalink)
Xbox Connect 4.0 - now for the public
Bah. Two days ago, SplitBoxer, from the XboxConnect team, wrote to point out that V4.0 RC1 was released, and available for download. I managed to forget to post it, though, until I noticed a note over at Rampancy.net. I'm pretty sure I should stop cooking tomato sauce in aluminum pans... Anyway, go grab it. (The current version available from the XBC site is one rev past the version available in R.net's link, right now. Who knows, by the time you read it, it might be more advanced yet.)

Motorized Lego Hog
Dr@Home wrote to point out a small vid (2.7 mb) he's put up of his motorized Lego Warthog. WMP9 format - nice looking vehicle! (Louis Wu 11:51:40 UTC) (permalink)
Some people have too much free time.
Whoa. You think YOU'RE an obsessed Halo fan? You got nuthin' on this guy. Danny Kolacz is a diehard Halo collector, but he's always been unhappy that the Active Camo Master Chief (a figure Joyride didn't sell; they gave it away as a promotion) came in a plain cardboard box, rather than the standard packaging for Joyride toys. It took him about an hour to rectify the situation (125K) without destroying the original packaging... now that Active Camo cheif can sit on his shelf with the rest of the boxed toys, and not look out of place.

Some people seem to be having trouble with the submission script - they get to the second screen, and their computer tells them it can't find the site. I can't explain why this mght be happening - we didn't make any changes at all to the script except to move it to a new server, but if you couldn't find the new server, you wouldn't be able to get to the FIRST screen, much less the second. If we figure out the mystery, we'll be sure to let you know. (Louis Wu 10:06:48 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Messenger 3
Sniperman27 has released Halo Messenger 3 (2.3 mb), a standalone windows app that checks rss files from HBO and Red vs Blue, as well as giving you access to the Psyjnir Complex Music Database. It's pretty slow checking rss feeds... but apparently, that's our fault. (Louis Wu 09:57:29 UTC) (permalink)
