NSCS interviews Halo Pros
Overswarm has added three new interviews to his Not So Common Sense collection - he talks to IGS Ghandi, Lil Poison, and BlackJak to get the lowdown on the Halo 2 Pro scene. Go read! (Louis Wu 15:20:45 UTC) (permalink)
F.E.A.R. - learning from Halo 2
Not really Halo-related, but it seems to be inspired by more than one Halo success story, so... According to geek.com, it's been confirmed that there will be a Director's Edition DVD available to US buyers of the game F.E.A.R - and that along with items like a 'Making Of' documentary, there will be a F.E.A.R. machinima episode from Rooster Teeth Productions - interesting to see how this goes! Thanks, tLove. (Louis Wu 15:17:10 UTC) (permalink)
Goose's Story
Bunker 27 Episode III, 'Goose's Story', passed the MPRRS last night - you can grab a copy in either WMP9 format (15.5 mb) or QuickTime format (15.3 mb). How many machinima pieces contain a hand-drawn storybook? Go watch. (Louis Wu 14:20:34 UTC) (permalink)
Podtacular Episode 7
Podtacular Episode 7 is now available for download (I don't see it yet on iTunes, but you can grab it directly from their webpage). 27 mb, 78 minutes long, covering a variety of subjects - free maps, things that annoy them in XBL, gameplay tips, and more. Thanks to Henry Brown for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 14:07:59 UTC) (permalink)
MLGPro bigwig on AOTS
Major League Gaming's own Sundance DiGiovanni will be on G4's Attack of the Show! today at 7pm ET / 4pm PT - there are a bunch of repeats tomorrow, if you miss it. You can comment on the MLG site. Thanks to synide for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:45:12 UTC) (permalink)
Astounding Cool Flash Maps
Duke87 writes to point out some really slick maps over at MatchBox360 - they're Flash-based, and can be used to plot strategies, learn placement for weapons or important features, and more. The more you play with 'em, the more goodies you'll find. (There are a few maps missing - because they don't have any way to get overhead images of them; if you can help, drop 'em a line.) While you're there, stop by the main page - these guys run a UK-only Halo league, and they've just started recruiting for their second season. (Louis Wu 13:33:25 UTC) (permalink)
Sharing
Dennis Powers writes to point out that Episode 18 of the Halo CE Chronicles, 'Sharing', is now available for download. It's available in WMP9 (30.7 mb), QuickTime (27.7 mb), or streaming Flash (11.2 mb) from the Season 2 Downloads page. A plot summary can be found here - and Dennis wanted to make sure that everyone watching realized this episode contains more individual violence than previous episodes; something to keep in mind if you've been watching the series with small children. A bit more of the relationship between the Spartan and the station AI becomes clear... while the search and rescue team continues its fight against the Covenant. Go watch!

The RvB PSP collection grows
Random 15-Year-Old is back with more Red vs Blue PSP-formatted episodes - if you visit this link on FileFront, you'll find download links for all episodes he's converted to date (right now, that's 45-59, but more are coming). Watch RvB from the comfort of your PSP! (Louis Wu 13:12:36 UTC) (permalink)
Halo2Forum Montage Madness
Two new montages on Halo2Forum.com - both contain some pretty impressive gameplay. Both are WMP9 format. You can grab DaY's Montage from this thread (a hefty 148 mb), and OlManMakowski's Montage 2 from this one (48 mb). Lots and lots of double/triple kills, some Killtaculars, and a couple of longer strings. Go watch! (Louis Wu 13:10:20 UTC) (permalink)
H equals MC squared episide one
A long weekend is now over - here's hoping you enjoyed it (if you're in the US, or celebrate US holidays), or that you waited patiently for Halo news (if yesterday was a normal work/schoolday for you)... back to the grindstone. On Sunday, [HC]D-Man posted a note about a new Halo 2 podcast - this episode is just over half an hour; highlights include Phantom, from High Impact Halo, talking about their new Trick Review System. Go listen! (Louis Wu 13:01:17 UTC) (permalink)
