Win a Date with One One Se7en
Short notice, I know... but sometimes, you just gotta grab the bull by the horns. We've got a new contest for you: come up with a brilliant one-liner using BOLL's Automagic 117 StripMaker, and win a cool prize! To help you along, BOLL has added 31 new panels to the collection; let your creativity go wild! All details can be found on the Win A Date With One One Se7en page - be sure to note the closing date of the contest. You've only got a few days! (Louis Wu 20:19:16 UTC) (permalink)
When the original was good...
Calvin and Halo is hardly Halo-related at all today; I don't think this is a trend (at least I hope it isn't), but it was a great strip when it was new, so go and check it out. (Louis Wu 13:17:47 UTC) (permalink)
Dancin' MC
Gutupio did some playing with green-screen effects; the end result is a movie he calls 'Halo 2: DDR Remix'. Not ever having played DDR, the joke is mostly lost on me... but reaction seems to be positive. Hosting has been handled by COERCE.net. The vid is 3:32 long, 14.1 mb big, and is a DivX-encoded AVI. Check it out! (A comment thread is here.) (Louis Wu 13:08:19 UTC) (permalink)
It's a mod, mod, mod world
Much general-interest modding info over at Halomods recently... there's a downloadable copy of Blood Gulch with Hunters, Elites, and human snipers (a movie showing the action can be found here, the mod itself is in this thread), the outside portion of Keyes is now available as a multiplayer map (with a movie in this thread), and Two Betrayals is now ALSO a multiplayer level (the movie, this time, is linked in the same thread). While the HEK would make all of this stuff more fun (you wouldn't need to substitute existing multiplayer maps out for these), it's still fantastic to see the modding community bringing new content to the Halo experience.

I think Donut was robbed.
That Weasel, of That Weasel Television, writes to say that after running for 15 days, the TWTv Poll asking about your favorite RvB character has come up with Caboose as the top choice (266 votes) with Church (156 votes) and Sarge (107 votes) running a distant second and third. A new poll is up, asking about your favorite kind of Halo movie. Check it out! (Louis Wu 09:41:14 UTC) (permalink)
Get on the Grid
Once upon a time, HBO participated actively in the distributed search for extraterrestrial intelligence - and the Halo SETI Marines continue today, though at a much slower pace than when they were front-page news here every day. A year or so ago, Ross Mills started the HBO Researcher team at grid.org, aimed at using distributed computing to help find a cure for cancer. Today, P_71W has started a NEW team, this one ALSO at grid.org; they're called 'Team H.B.O.'. If you have extra CPU cycles going unused in your home or workplace, you can put them to use fighting cancer, or helping with smallpox research, or combating bioterrorism... and do so banded together with other HBO fans. Grab a client, and get crunching! (Louis Wu 09:20:07 UTC) (permalink)
