New Maps - Multiple Views
Ooh... cool. Promotheus just pointed out that the new maps are visible on Bungie.net's stats page, in all their multi-view splendor; you just need to find someone who's been playing them. Like, say... Shishka. Visit his stats page, click on any game tied to a new map, and bring up the Game Viewer... you'll see the maps laid out in full. W00T! (Louis Wu 22:34:41 UTC) (permalink)
Inside scoops... and other cool info
{SS}Zag1 attended Luke Timmins' talk at the University of Utah last night - and posted a brief summary on our forum. Sounds like it would have been a nice thing to see! (Louis Wu 22:21:37 UTC) (permalink)
The Wrong 100 Percent
Last month's OXM cover disc contained a pretty entertaining Mockumentary about Conker, the squirrel star of Conker's Bad Fur Day and and the new Conker, Live and Reloaded. There's a cameo by Marty O'Donnell, and some other Halo-related content. If you don't get the magazine, though, you can still watch the movie - it's up over at Gametrailers.com. Thanks to I)aemonicus for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 22:04:08 UTC) (permalink)
The Big Blue Boom
Shishka has posted yet another 3D screenshot over at Bungie.net - this one is on Turf. Shishka manages to win a Pyrrhic victory by nuking EVERYONE - but oh, it's so beautiful. (He also made a new forum avatar that would drive me out of my mind, if I read the bungie.net forums for any length of time.) (Louis Wu 21:49:09 UTC) (permalink)
Stryke Force Ep 5 Posted
The Stryke Force team has put up Episode 5: "Guerillas in the Midst". Twists, turns, and an executioner I'd love to hire. They've got the original WMP9 up on their Videos page, and it's been mirrored at HaloMachinima.com (thanks, trigger119). I've also converted it to QuickTime, and made both versions available here: WMP9 (25.9 mb, mythica.org | bungie.org), QuickTime (22.9 mb, bungie.org | mythica.org). Go watch!

Infidelity.
Today's One One Se7en shows why mixing games can be a hassle. (Louis Wu 16:46:30 UTC) (permalink)
Friday's Fan Fiction
Whee! Once I deleted 19 of the 20 submitted copies of maxx's Warrior's Fate chapter, the Fan Fiction queue had just 14 entries in it - which have now been processed. Go read (and be happy you don't need to read Warrior's Fate 20 times). (Louis Wu 16:19:11 UTC) (permalink)
Online Tourney in May
neXtournaments is hosting another Halo 2 online tourney - 2v2, May 7 and 8, $5/person to enter, with cash prizes to the top teams. More details at neXtournaments. (Louis Wu 15:40:42 UTC) (permalink)
Revamped Stubbs
Stubbs the Zombie, Wideload's Halo-engined brainfest, has a new website - flashy, and full of nice pictures (and downloads). Go look! (Louis Wu 15:28:12 UTC) (permalink)
License and registration, please.
Remember that crazy Elite driver yesterday? Captain Spark followed the guy some more - he gets some mad air in this one. 7.6 mb or so (depending on flavor). He makes me laugh. (Louis Wu 14:10:18 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: Covenant War - the Coaster
Halo mentions a Halo-related roller coaster in development for Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. Details (and a link) are in the forum post. Halo - it's everywhere! (Louis Wu 13:21:01 UTC) (permalink)
Making like Mice
There've been a couple of small updates to the Halo Story page in the last day or two - and Jilly suggests that there's more to come. Should we trust her, or is she just stalling? (Louis Wu 13:14:54 UTC) (permalink)
Halo CE Maps site grows
Dennis Powers writes to point out that Halomaps.org has moved, and split, and grown, and all sorts of things. The old address works - but it now brings you to the Halo CE website, haloce.gearboxgamezone.com. All movies have been split off (except for map demo movies) and are hosted at movies.gearboxgamezone.com. This covers not only Halo machinima, but Brothers In Arms material, as well. If you have content you'd like them to host, there's an upload link in the navbar. Keep an eye on this growing family of sites! (Louis Wu 12:32:39 UTC) (permalink)
The Adventure of Superchief
Poor Master Chief... he NEVER gets no respect. Go check out Halo Babies today. (Louis Wu 12:26:33 UTC) (permalink)
Containment and Humpday Vids Redux
The Containment video we mentioned earlier is now available, in both high and low resolution, to everyone (not just sponsors) over at Red vs Blue - in WMP9 format. To ease the pain for folks looking for QuickTime, we're hosting both high res (30.6 mb) and low res (10.8 mb) versions - if you need Windows Media Player format, go to RvB, if you need QT, come here. (Also, the low-res Humpday Challenge vid is also available at RvB, for non-sponsors. Grab the popcorn - it's Movie Night! (Louis Wu 03:24:41 UTC) (permalink)
