BitTorrented Montages
We have two different montages for you today; both are in QuickTime format, both are very high-quality, video-wise, and both are nicely timed by their creators. Both are available (for now) only via BitTorrent. The first is from pushbak, and is called 'Defense'. It's 500x300, 4:08 long, and weighs in at 35.1 mb. The second is from FuzzySmurf, and is called 'Savior'. It's 640x480, 5:07 long, and weighs in at 62.2 mb. That's 100 MB of montage goodness. If you like montages, check these two out!

Building Play Areas
3Suns uncovered an article posted a few months ago at HaloMods - it's a piece on 'Game-environment creation', and contains some of the thoughts that should go into level development; it's a good read for anyone interested in the idea of building a playable level. If someone asks you "why is there a catwalk up there?" and you can't answer them... maybe it doesn't belong. (Louis Wu 12:55:42 UTC) (permalink)
Your Guest Is As Good As Mine.
If you're feeling withdrawal symptoms from One One Se7en because it's the weekend (yeah, like it's good enough to be ADDICTED to), you can swing by Stuntmutt's blog; he's posted a series of guest strips that have been building up. I'm sort of glad I don't play online with the Helljumpers... And while we're talking about comics - Mr Kippling posted Bye-stander 8, and Über-Chief 69 posted Resolute 9 (and redid his website). And Red Leader posted "This Island Earth" 6. Wonga! (Louis Wu 12:45:08 UTC) (permalink)
HALOader updated
Gravity has uploaded HALOader, his stats-tracking app, to 1.1.04b - new features include a full internal messaging system. More details (and a link) in the forum post. (Louis Wu 11:18:08 UTC) (permalink)
Buy in bulk, save cash
He mentioned this via email a few days ago... but I forgot to follow up. Mintz08 has posted a link to a discounted four-pack of Halo 2 action figures (Series 2) for about 25% less than the four figures would cost individually. The site it's on (BigBadToyStore) also takes Paypal, a plus. If you're in the market, go look! (Louis Wu 11:16:06 UTC) (permalink)

Pink Death, Amplified
I'm not supposed to be here, but I'm trying to save my inbox from the assault it would receive if I left this until morning; Shishka has posted another way-cool 3d screenshot over at Bungie.net, this one of Containment. You wanna see what those new land mines can do? Check this out. (You'd think, given that today is agdTinman's last day at Bungie, that Shishka would have let this flag capture go... but no. Guy's a monster. Go tell him what you think of his heartlessness.) (Louis Wu 02:32:04 UTC) (permalink)
