Top of Boarding Action
Foxygrandpa, Silverspoon, and Ms. Man have made it to the top of Boarding Action. There's a bit of extra hardware involved - some sort of box that allows control of multiple players. There's a video - 32 mb, WMP9 format - showing the details. All this and more can be found in the forum thread at High Impact Halo. Nice! (Louis Wu 20:18:58 UTC) (permalink)
MLG Championships
The Major League Gaming Championships kicked off today - and coverage has begun over at the MLGPro.com website. It will continue throughout the day and tomorrow - check back! Thanks, Dolbex. (Louis Wu 15:46:35 UTC) (permalink)
Casual Friday
Wolfy writes to point out a new episode of Marines at Sector 7 Halo. I dunno... the problem here seems like it will resolve itself, pretty quickly... (Louis Wu 13:20:28 UTC) (permalink)
Home Front almost ready to go
This came in yesterday, but I managed to overlook it. The Home Front team has posted another update on the Junkyard forums - screenshots of a redone map, and a fixed release date (next Friday, actually). Go read. Thanks, Mhaddy. (Louis Wu 13:17:41 UTC) (permalink)
Gettin' Ready
IGN's Halo 2 Countdown article today is 'Five Ways to Prepare Yourself for Halo 2'. I'm sort of glad none of them involve vaseline. (Louis Wu 13:15:06 UTC) (permalink)
MTV video - again
Finalcutmac points out that there's a video link for the MTV vid we mentioned yesterday, right on the MTV page that contains the story. (Look in the right navbar for 'Audio & Video'.) Unfortunately, they actively weed out Mac users - something I find pretty dang annoying. I therefore extracted the url to the actual video stream - this should work on any platform with the ability to read mms streams. (Unless, of course, they change it.) Update: Looks like the direct URL has been turned off; someone at MTV decided they didn't like direct-linking. I can't really blame them, except that I think it's really dumb that they won't let Mac users even TRY. (We have a perfectly functional WMP9 that works just fine with their movie...) Sorry, folks.

Visiting Old Friends
If you're a registered member (free) of RedvsBlue.com, you can grab Episode 40 from their forum. 7:22 long, ranging from 31 to 48 mb, depending on version. I gotta say... it's gettin' weird. Thanks to Ross Mills for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:07:48 UTC) (permalink)
Lonely Hunter - Part 2, finally
Apologies for the delay - I promised last week that we'd continue releasing segments of 'My Heart is a Lonely Hunter' every few days, and it's been almost a week. I realize that more than 1500 of you have grabbed the entire movie via BitTorrent in the last couple of days... but many are still waiting patiently for the smaller pieces. You can grab Part 2 either on mythica.org or files.bungie.org - Part 3 will follow soon. (Part 1, if you missed it and can't handle the BitTorrent version, can be grabbed at the links in this news post.) [I actually wrote this - and posted it - about 12 hours ago... but somehow, I managed to forget to actually FINISH the posting process. Sorry to everyone involved.] Update: the DJ writes to say that all released pieces so far (the trailer, part 1, part 2, and the full 30-minute movie) can be found on Halo Impulse, as well. Thanks!

Sonny Chiba would SO pwn him...
Wonga. Amazing as it sounds, Frankie is STILL continuing with the Bungie Weekly Updates - this one is at Subnova. New TV spots coming next week, a sick SketchFactor, and a guest Mister Chief rendering by BOLL. Go read! (And Sketch - here's hoping you get better!) Thanks to Eric Biro, who let us know while I was watching Big Fish with my family. Update: oops - Boxer points out that I misread the bit about Sketch - it's his DOG that's sick. (I guess i thought Frankie was insulting him while he was down. :) ) Sketch - here's hoping your dog gets better! (Louis Wu 02:20:55 UTC) (permalink)
