The Marines
Wolfy points out a new comic over at Sector 7 - The Marines. nice look! (Louis Wu 21:36:13 UTC) (permalink)
AotCR - in just over 7 minutes
Yesterday, Juggertrout posted a speed run through Assault on the Control Room - 7:19 from the time he got out of the pelican to the time he entered the final room. As far as I know, that's a record, at this point... but there are a number of places (using his route) where seconds could be shaved. Check this out! (The commentary included is pretty funny.) You may have a good reason to try and duplicate this soon... This movie is currently hosted by Juggertrout. It's 37 mb, in WMP9 format. We should have a local mirror for it in the not-too-distant future, as well as a QuickTime version. Updates when things happen. (Louis Wu 21:05:52 UTC) (permalink)
20 MORE Desktops? Ouch.
As promised, we have another batch of 20 desktops for you today; 23, if you want to count the BOLL variants. (Even more if you count the SIZE variants... but BOLL's are actually image variants.) Check 'em out in our Wallpaper section! There's still more in the queue, both wallpaper and miscellaneous art... coming soon! (Louis Wu 15:33:10 UTC) (permalink)
RvB up for a Webby
Wow... Red vs Blue has been nominated for a 2004 Webby Award in Humor - winners will be announced on May 12. This was pointed out on our forum, by iBob... but I didn't notice it until Narcogen posted it on Rampancy.net. Looks like I'm getting behind on my forum reading... (Louis Wu 14:24:50 UTC) (permalink)
And don't you put it in your mouth
Parents - they have ears in the back of their heads. Or the sides, or something. Somewhere. Stop reading this, go look at Calvin and Halo. Thank you. (Louis Wu 13:16:21 UTC) (permalink)

Fall From Above (You Can't Stop)
There's a new remix of the Halo title theme posted over at Overclocked Remix; it's 4:06 long, and 5.6 mb large. Worth a listen! Thanks to ARUCKSHA for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 12:28:24 UTC) (permalink)
Assorted Tricks
Ducain has put together a small movie - 3 minutes, 7.8 mb, WMP9 format - showing some fun glitches; a Banshee stuck in the walls in AotCR, some shade-bumping, more security shaft jumping, and a Turret ride. As Ducain says, another trick vid to burn away three minutes of your life! (Louis Wu 11:55:13 UTC) (permalink)
Xbox.com back up
Just a quick heads-up; if you missed the interviews with Brian Jarrard and Tom Gioconda over at Xbox.com yesterday (because I was an idiot and announced them moments before they went offline for the Tsunami update), Xbox.com is back up, and the interviews are readable again. (Louis Wu 11:46:59 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie Community Gamertag Database
Psyrixx has put up a basic replacement to our HBO-XBL Gamertag database over at The Psyjnir Complex; it contains only your real name, your gamertag, and a handle - not HBO-specific, but any online handle you use, I suppose. (No listing of games, but then, it was the difficulty in maintaining that listing that put OUR list offline, so I don't blame him at all.) If you want people who only know you on web forums to be able to find you on XBL, add yourself to this list! (Louis Wu 08:49:33 UTC) (permalink)
Nerdstock 2004 - Halo for Chicagoans
SancheztheLlama writes to point out Nerdstock 2004, a Halo tournament taking place near Chicago on June 26th. Details, including cost and basic prize info, can be found on the web page. (Louis Wu 08:43:42 UTC) (permalink)
Action Figure Pics
Stuntmutt points out that there are pics of the Series 5 action figures over at ToyWiz.com - at least two are new to me. The Gold Elite has a new head design, and the Silver MC with a purple shotgun looks positively Barbie-like. (The red grunt is also mislabeled as orange - the orange grunt will be out in Wave 4.) Fun fun fun! (Louis Wu 08:38:55 UTC) (permalink)
