Trick This.
Got a trick you want the community to know about? Head on over to High Impact Halo. Yeah, that part has been true since Halo 2 was released, and before... but they've put a new Trick Review System online, and it has the potential to vastly reduce the clutter that keeps some tricks from being noticed, while keeping things organized and easy-to-find. It will also reduce the workload on HIH staff required to identify new tricks, allowing newsposting to happen more easily - which will likely translate to more fun stuff MAKING it to the front page. Inspired by (but in no way based on, codewise - this puppy's completely original to HIH) our Movie Peer Review Rating System, the TRS promises to help tricksters and fans alike - go check it out!

Prometheus Update 4
Prometheus, the multiversion Halo model manipulator/editor, has a new update online. They've lost scripting support (their scripter has left the team because of problems with the CE community), but there's plenty of good stuff left. Screenshots and descriptions will give you a taste for what's coming - go read! (Louis Wu 14:54:42 UTC) (permalink)
Just Shameless
retsamolah put together another montage vid; I'm sure it will earn the scorn of TRUE masters, because there are a couple of times when he actually takes 3 shots to no-scope the enemy (and because he uses the dreaded n00b combo to get a triple kill or two), but some of the sticks have to be seen to be believed. All footage collected in the last few nights - vid is 65.5 mb, QuickTime format. The downside: there's only one jump-to-the-death-off-Lockout this time around, and it's not even KP. Nice gameplay set to great music (though not timed to it) - a fun watch. (Louis Wu 13:17:39 UTC) (permalink)
TMG talks trade
Over at MLGPro.com, there's an interview with TMG, formerly Str8 Rippin, conducted after MLG Las Vegas. They talk about how good it feels to be on top (heh), and focus a lot on the rivalry with iGameSpot, the team they beat to win MLG Las Vegas. Nice read! Thanks, Arachneya and 3Suns.

Before Halo
The Escapist has written up a nice-looking article showing the evolution of Bungie's FPS space opera from Marathon to Halo. A few factoids left me shaking my head... but all in all, a good read. Thanks to stosh, at Bungie.net, for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 04:50:03 UTC) (permalink)
RvB Firefox Toolbar
And1balla2829 writes to point out (in a post on the RvB forum, registration required) that he's created an RvB Firefox toolbar - contains tons of mini-buttons for the best movie/machinima/Halo 2 sites, plus news feed menus and a ticker from Rooster Teeth, and more. Here's a small screenshot to show you what you'd be getting. (Louis Wu 04:46:57 UTC) (permalink)
No Strategic Imperatives
Okay, this is weird. Over at Channel 9, a Microsoft programming site, there's a video series following their mascot (think Jack-in-the-Box, writ large) on the way to a developers conference. The current episode (download is 14.8 mb, WMP9 format) has the 9 guy picking up Sarge, from Red vs Blue - I'd go nuts if that guy got in MY car. Thanks, Eric Smith.

Limbless in Los Angeles
Stubbs the Zombie is getting some good coverage these days - Gamespot has a video interview with Tim Attuquayefio, Director of QA for Aspyr, discussing gameplay, and an updated hands-on (thanks, Narcogen at Rampancy.net), and CVG has a text interview with Matt Soell, the game's writer, looking at Stubbs' origin, some of the ways the Wideload team enhanced the Halo engine for the game, and more (thanks, 3Suns). Go check 'em all! (Louis Wu 04:33:40 UTC) (permalink)
