Hollywood Halo Update 4
Our final news post of this Fourth of July holiday is community-related. A few days ago, we mentioned some money problems being experienced by Hollywood Halo, a team of Halo movie makers who were socked with some unreasonable overage fees for one of their popular movies. To show people what happened to them, they put together a vid that explains the problem (in a humorous fashion), and then summarizes their work to date. chubark posted a note on our forum last night, explaining the vid and listing several download links (including a BitTorrent link - the video is 87.1 mb, so the BT link might be your fastest option). We've put up a QuickTime version, as well - you can grab it via BitTorrent (we're seeding it with a very nice chunk of bandwidth), or grab the direct download - if this starts to kill us, we'll pull it, but leave the BT link. (The QuickTime is 85.7 mb.) For folks who've written us with a warning that this whole thing is a scam - I think you're being overly paranoid. The hosting company is acting pretty unprofessionally - but a typo in their bill does NOT mean that the bill was made up. And with that - I'm off to start cooking! Enjoy the day, see you all tomorrow! (Louis Wu 12:29:44 UTC) (permalink)
The Reverse of Comic #297.
Back in March, Stuntmutt took a swipe at the Halo shotgun in netplay - today he shows the other side of the coin in the current One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 12:14:30 UTC) (permalink)
The Halouvre Grows
Prometheus pointed out that the Halouvre received a sizeable update recently - lots of old art has found a new home, and a bunch of new stuff is posted as well. Go look! (Louis Wu 12:11:58 UTC) (permalink)
Monday Missives
Thirteen new stories added over the weekend to the Fan Fiction section - if you're in the US and you need a break from fireworks and barbecues today, go read. (If you're outside the US, you can read too.) (Louis Wu 12:10:10 UTC) (permalink)
Halo on Robot Chicken
As was noticed in a LOT of threads on our forum, last night a new episode of Robot Chicken, a stop-motion animation show aired on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, contained Halo action figures. It's called the Sack, and it will be rebroadcast on Friday, July 8, at midnight and 3 am. First out of the gate was Andrew Nagy (by several hours). Update: Hey - you can even download it now (WMP9 format, 3.2 mb). (Louis Wu 11:59:39 UTC) (permalink)
