Stephen Loftus has made a bit of progress on his Pillar of Autumn model - you can find the new photos on his model page. this looks pretty impressive! (Louis Wu 22:40:58 UTC) (permalink)
Jump Tactics Spoof: Episode 4
A few days ago, Halogrid.com released Jump Tactics Spoof: Episode 4 - and at the same time, submitted it to our Movie Peer Review Rating System. The MPRRS reviewers are taking a bit longer than they used to to review films - but last night, they passed this video, enjoying things like the modded content, the lack of a HUD, and the silly humor. It's not so much of a real jumping vid spoof, as it is just a bunch of folks getting together and doing silly things... but they do a nice job, and it's put together well. It's 11:13 long, and weighs in at 73.1 mb (WMP9) or 75.0 mb (QT)... big! Go grab a copy. In addition to the four mirrors listed at Halogrid.com, we can add these two for the WMP9 version: mythica.org | bungie.org. Also, we've put up a QuickTime version for those who can't deal with WMP9 - you can grab it here: bungie.org | mythica.org. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 16:57:41 UTC) (permalink)
Interview with David Hufford
clarksbrother points out an audio interview he did on the Not So Late Show with David Hufford, Group Xbox Manager, about the Xbox 360 - this is relevant to Halo fans because the interview touches on backwards compatibility for Halo and Halo 2, comments about Halo 3 (and when it might, or might not, come out), and some info about the Halo movie script. Nothing that hasn't been posted here before - but it's from a voice we haven't heard much from. 26 minutes long, just under 12 mb, available on the NotSoLateShow.com website, as well as a mirror.

Old interview, uncovered
There was an interview with Brian Jarrard in the January 2005 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly - and Guardians has found a copy of it online. (It went along with the interviews of Tyson Green and Pete Parsons that month.) It's old info (from December, I think)... but still pretty interesting stuff - and in some cases, things that simply haven't come up elsewhere. Give it a read! (Louis Wu 16:02:18 UTC) (permalink)
The Best Mister Chief Ever
Oops - I forgot to mention last night's Weekly What's Update, posted over at Bungie.net - some basic info about the Halo movie script, the Halo World Championships, and what will (and WON'T) happen when the new maps are released next month. Go read! (Louis Wu 15:31:11 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie.net - from the inside
For the truly geek-minded among you, there's a fascinating case study of the Bungie net website, written up by the MSDN Solution Architecture Center. (Yep, I guess I fit in that category...) How the site was developed, what's behind it, what challenges had to be overcome... for people interested in the backend part of things, this is a great read. Thanks, Matt Stum.

Codex Ep 13 - Cornered
The Codex Series has posted Episode 13 - things aren't looking too good for the humans. Nice film work, as usual. Go watch! (Louis Wu 13:18:02 UTC) (permalink)
More E3 reminiscences
Two more E3 picture collections from Bungie fans - Djof's is here and Hippieman's is here. Again - minimal Halo content, but there are some nice pics of community members. (Louis Wu 13:13:32 UTC) (permalink)
Squad 7 Ep 1
Sector 7 Halo has put up Squad 7 Episode 1, the first chapter of their machinima project. 3:21, 30 mb. Seems like it must be a setup for the rest of the series... (Louis Wu 12:59:01 UTC) (permalink)
Cabel vs the World
XboxZone.com.au has posted a writeup of their finalist's experience in the International Halo 2 Tournament that ended yesterday Cabel came in 5th, but it was a good run. Go read! (Louis Wu 12:53:21 UTC) (permalink)
