Pac WHO?
Hehe - here's a fun little Halo-related flash thingy... Nice work from the HaloNATION team. Heads-up from HuMaN_fLy in our forum. (Louis Wu 18:40:46 UTC) (permalink)
Mmmmm, Smores.
One One Se7en looks at those funny Subnova folks today. Poor MC. (Louis Wu 18:23:09 UTC) (permalink)

FRG in TB
Wow. Wraith has managed to add a working Fuel Rod Gun to Two Betrayals; the graphics are a tad blocky, but the functionality rocks. (I'm not sure WHY the graphics are blocky; you're using the gun that the Spec-Ops Grunts use on that level.) It was originally available as a PC mod, but he also found a way to make it work for Xbox (NTSC). Update: Wraith explains the blockiness here. (Louis Wu 18:10:51 UTC) (permalink)
Where Stories End and Games Begin
There's an interesting essay on Games, and the stories they try to tell, written by Greg Costikyan, Co-Founder of Unplugged Games. It looks at games in general, and is not Halo-related, in any direct sense... but Halo (and Bungie games in general) tend to try and tell stories, and they do it more successfully than a large chunk of the games released in their genres, so it's worth a read to anyone who thinks about this sort of thing from time to time. Heads-up comes from Brian Graham, in our forum. (Louis Wu 18:03:09 UTC) (permalink)

The Blood Gulch Experience
Blade posted a 22 mb, 8:37 long movie of Blood Gulch gameplay on his TeamHalo site. Fraps makes the gameplay pretty choppy, and the low-end video card makes the image quality... well, pretty low-end. It's mostly just a few guys running around shooting each other. You need to register on the site (with a valid email address) to download the video. (Louis Wu 00:50:55 UTC) (permalink)
GameSpy Arcade Tutorial
Akba and Allroy have written up a tutorial on how to play Xbox Halo using Gamespy Arcade. If you have the client already, or don't like Xbox Connect for some reason, but you want to play online, go take a look! (You can comment in this thread.) (Louis Wu 00:30:02 UTC) (permalink)
HUDless Movie
JM made a HUDless 'trailer' for Halo, and posted it (in two sizes) over at Halomods. It's not very big, so take a look! (Louis Wu 00:13:09 UTC) (permalink)
