Screenshot dissection continues
Yet another analysis of the multiplayer screens - this time over at Echo-413. Click on the 'Media Mintz Article 2' link in the Community News section of the navbar to read it. (Louis Wu 16:46:35 UTC) (permalink)
H2 Multiplayer... lifesize
Gamers Gallery has posted a VERY high resolution version of the new multiplayer shot - 2468x1851 (weighs in at 452k). Go visit if you want this! (Louis Wu 16:43:01 UTC) (permalink)
It Was A Dark And Stormy Installation...
So, the Fan Fiction section is open again... and Stuntmutt has wasted no time taking a shot or two, via One One Se7en. Of course, he's missed the target - the innocent victim in this case is poor, maligned Halo PC. Trust Stuntmutt to gang up on the downtrodden. (Louis Wu 14:45:01 UTC) (permalink)
Hmph! It Was A Simple Question...
Today's Halo: Resolution tries what we've ALL wanted to do, at one point or another... (Louis Wu 14:38:43 UTC) (permalink)
Buried under screenshots
Okay, the flood of screenshots on our forum is simply too much for me to keep up with. I guess I was planning to post a daily 'roundup' - but there are well over 20 posts with screenshots in them since the last time I posted; some people post a few, then follow up their own post with more, or start a new thread and post the same ones again, or even follow up a post with a second post that contains a subset of the first post. If I had an extra couple of hours a day to sort it all out, I suppose I could keep track... but I don't, so if you're interested, just scan our forum for 'screenshots' in the subject line. (I'll continue to point out the posts containing what I consider to be outstanding pics; even in this flood, there are some that are head and shoulders above the rest, and I'll make a point of bringing them to your attention.)

The Reactor Room - now with 800% more Spartans
WOW. Gil27 and Devin Olsen have created a multiplayer version of the Maw's Reactor Room - there is a short (25 second, 2 mb) film as well as a few screenshots in this forum post; no map yet for downloading, but we can hope! (Louis Wu 12:29:48 UTC) (permalink)
Two new movies for RvB sponsors
Back in early February, Burnie Burns and Geoff Fink of Red vs Blue were interviewed for TechTV's Unscrewed. We actually had the footage uploaded to us by Sniperman27, and we contacted Unscrewed to find out if we could display it; the answer came back that they would do it for us... but they never did. Not to worry, though, because that same clip is now up as a Sponsors Extra over at the Red vs Blue site! There's also a very cool 3:29 long video from the Alamo Drafthouse last week, giving some flavor of that event (we mentioned it on the 14th), and showing off (in really bad lighting) the Blue Nightmare Armor. Thanks to c0ld vengeance for the heads-up on our forum. Dang, sorry - that would be Ross Mills. My bad. (Louis Wu 12:18:55 UTC) (permalink)
Madda Cheeb - Amateur Golfer!
Benny, from Xbox Ottawa (part of the team behind the FTC videos) has submitted a new Flash game - Madda Cheeb: Golfer. We're hosting a copy here, but there's also a copy up at Newgrounds, which probably has way more bandwidth than we could hope to have. (It's big - over 4 and a half megs.) Wherever you play it - you'll find it's pretty tough stuff, but quite rewarding when you actually do well. Andrew started a thread in our forum, if you want to comment.

Inspiring the Troops
So over the past few weeks, we've had a number of submissions that we simply haven't had time to post. I'm going to try and get some of them out there. First up is a pair of speeches modeled on ones given by Winston Churchill in 1940; you can find them, along with transcriptions, in our Miscellaneous section. Thanks to Walshicus for his patience.
