Groovy Doings at Nightmare Armor
Webshift dropped into our forum to point out a couple of pretty cool things over at the Nightmare Armor site... first, there are photos of the blue armor, in all its glory, worn on a deck in the beautiful backwoods of Georgia - pretty snazzy! Second, there's a new raffle going on, this time for a helmet, fully painted and with F/X lighting and fans. Tickets are $10 each, but you'll get two for one if you buy $50 worth (or, put another way, buy 10 and they're $5 each). All the details, and mailing instructions, can be found on their front page right now, and will be on their Fan Appreciation page until the contest ends, on May 10. Go win yourself a smashing product! (Louis Wu 16:46:32 UTC) (permalink)
Calendar Mania
Looks like you can get your hands on one of those Halo 2 calendars without doing anything except filling in your name... Forerunners.org is giving away 5 of them, as well. The catch? Some browsers can see the page... others get an error; 500 has been seen, as has 1060. All I can suggest is that you try another browser - it's not that the site is down, because I can continue to load the page in one browser, while a second says 'it's broke'. Thanks to Battleground: Halo, where I found this tidbit. (And remember - you can still enter our Win a Date with One One Se7en for ANOTHER chance at one of five of these, right here at HBO. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!) (Louis Wu 15:32:25 UTC) (permalink)
The History of Red vs Blue
There's a pretty cool new page over at Red vs Blue - a history of the group, as written by the resident psycho, gFunk. It's a sad tale of loneliness and betrayal, but with an uplifting message at the end. Or maybe that's just the alcohol. Credit for the find goes to pilotelite, who seems far more interested in getting mentioned on this news page than actually bringing you the information... (Louis Wu 15:17:36 UTC) (permalink)
The Reactor Room - in MP
Devin Olsen and Gil27 have completed work on The Reactor Room - a multiplayer level based on the Maw's Reactor Room. It's downloadable at Halomods.com. Check it out! (Louis Wu 11:26:08 UTC) (permalink)
Another Warthog Launching Tutorial Vid
Gustav Larimore writes to say that Effervescing Blue Productions has a new movie posted, as well - a Warthog Jumping Tutorial. (You might remember that there's already one posted here at HBO... but more info is rarely a bad thing.) (Louis Wu 11:16:59 UTC) (permalink)
New mp movies available
Icetiger writes that he's posted 3 new Halo movies on his website, Icegames; they show footage recorded on the HBO-COERCE server. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 11:10:06 UTC) (permalink)
RvB article now grabbable
Yesterday, we mentioned an article in the Wall Street Journal about the Red vs Blue team. We couldn't post the article itself, because we don't post print articles that are still for sale on the newsstand. (We did give you an online link that works for non-subscribers, so reading the content itself was doable.) It's gone today, though, so we've put up downloadable copies, for folks who like to archive stuff like this. Thanks to typ993 and Black Six for providing the content!
