8th Time's The Charm
In what is easily the most dedicated attempt to get a movie out to the Halo Community, PajKajJL submitted his 'Bulletspeed' to the MPRRS this morning... for the 8th time. It took two and a half months, and 8 iterations, to get through the rating system with a passing grade... but the work was worth it - the final product, a machinima piece about a pair of anti-terrorist agents working to protect a city, is nicely polished. QuickTime (33.8 mb) or WMP9 (32.4 mb) format. Go get it! (Louis Wu 23:58:22 UTC) (permalink)
Ringworld
MrHen pointed out today's Unshelved, a webcomic about libraries - it takes a funny shot at videogamers (and Microsoft, I suppose). Go read! (Louis Wu 21:10:27 UTC) (permalink)
Rude, Crude, and Altruistic
Over on Stuntmutt's blog, you can find a bunch of guest One One Se7en strips sent to him recently (including one he did himself, but decided was a bit too uncouth to include in the normal collection). He also pimps the Blow Me Away Charity Auction - especially his contribution. You'll make him feel really good if you bid a lot for it. (Louis Wu 21:08:12 UTC) (permalink)
Of course, Cortana gets bashed.
Jillybean sent word that there was a 'small' Halo Story Page update. Dunno... looks pretty meaty to me! Go read. (Louis Wu 21:04:30 UTC) (permalink)
Podtacular Ep 20
Podtacular has released Episode 20, with custom gametypes and call-ins from fans. Go listen! (Louis Wu 19:16:02 UTC) (permalink)
Odd Choice of Security
There's a slightly unusual piece of dialogue from Cortana on Halo's Truth & Reconciliation level; it comes at the end of the hangar bay (after the pair of Hunters). It has to be really quiet to hear it; it is in our transcript of the level, but jman571 just sent us an audio recording of the line, so for anyone ELSE who's missed it, it's now immortalized in our Dialogue Databank. Enjoy! (For those wondering about my title for this news post... it's always struck me as odd that the Covenant would put such a ridiculously large encryption key on a random door... but leave their battlenet unsecured.)

ILB DVD gets Enhanced
While we're doing site updates... I'd like to thank weephun, who donated the I Love Bees Commemorative DVD for the 'Blow Me Away' Charity Auction, for contacting the 4orty 2wo team that put the campaign together - he's gotten them to agree to sign this DVD! If you win this item, you'll not only be getting one of a very small number of DVDs... you'll be getting the ONLY one signed by the crew that made it happen. Go bid! (In other auction news, with just under 7 days to go, total bids are up to $7700. A sign?) (Louis Wu 18:56:35 UTC) (permalink)
Carve, as though your life depended on it!
At the moment, we have a total of 24 entries for our 343 Guilt O' Lantern Pumpkin Carving Contest. (A few are simply spectacular - but there's room for competition.) The deadline is still a day and a half away, so there's plenty of time to get your entry in... but you don't want to pass up the awesome stuff we're giving away, do you? (A finalized prize list will be up later today - I really want to apologize for the delay.) Update: Prize list is up! (Louis Wu 18:49:49 UTC) (permalink)
