One Bag for Two
Dennis Powers writes to point out a new machinima series he's begun - it's called 'The Halo CE Chronicles', and follows a "hapless Spartan stationed to a
distant Outpost Station and his relationship with the station's AI." Currently, there are two movies to see - a short trailer, and a 3:49 Episiode 1. The movies are in Flash format, so all you'll need to see them is a browser. Powers does all the voices to date. Check it out! (Louis Wu 21:07:33 UTC) (permalink)
HUDless Halo 2
The Halouvre has updated its site with two new images, in multiple form factors. Gorgeous HUDless shots of Delta Halo and Metropolis, both in regular screen ratios and as extra-wide panoramas. Check 'em out! Thanks to prometheus for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 20:00:24 UTC) (permalink)
Flash Stuff
A couple of new Flash items popped up on Newgrounds recently, both done by ABob.... Halo 2: The Covenant , and Halo 2: Spartan 117. Pretty hard to hear... minimal plots. Thanks, Micro M and argent. (Louis Wu 19:26:39 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Do-Gooders Shut Down
Back from errands, time to get a little Halo-related news posted. Last night, I saw a tidbit on the KOMO 1000 news page (thanks, Google) about a charity tournament set up by some students at Rogers High School in Puyallup (near Seattle)... that got cancelled by the school district. Two RHS seniors had organized a Halo 2 tournament to raise money for the tsunami relief effort... but the school board yanked permission because the game was too violent. The district has suggested that they'd support the fundraiser if it was based on a less violent game. Thanks also to Foolio, who sent us a note about this this morning.

Heavy Metal
Red vs Blue episode 48 has been released for Sponsors - 'Heavy Metal' has the remainder of the Red and Blue teams attempting to assault the Zanzibar base... with hilarious consequences. I love Caboose again. This puppy's 6 and a half minutes long - 30 megs for small versions, 60 for large. (It'll be up for non-sponsors by tomorrow night or Monday morning.) Thanks, jorge.

Cry Cry Cry
Hehe - there's no Weekly What's Update yet (looks like that's coming Sunday)... but you can see the Anime Mister Chief that's gonna go with it. Thanks, Frankie! (Louis Wu 04:19:05 UTC) (permalink)
