Hong Kong Design meets 26th Century War Machine
Stuntmutt found some news about a series of CI-boys figures based on Xbox game characters. He hunted around until he found this - are those cute, or what? (Louis Wu 19:08:08 UTC) (permalink)
Another Warhammer40k maestro
JoeIce dropped by our forum yesterday with a pelican model he'd adapted from a Warhammer 40K piece. Today, he came back - with another dozen images, showing off the Pelican, a Master Chief, and an MC on a Ghost. That Ghost ROCKS! (Louis Wu 18:56:33 UTC) (permalink)
Who Needs The TrueSkill System?
Today's One One Se7en takes a subtle shot at a certain type of Xbox Live player. The thing is... if this is you, you probably won't get it. (Louis Wu 16:08:04 UTC) (permalink)
Busy Friday
Guess I went too long this time between Fan Fiction updates - there are 24 stories and poems to read today. Get cracking! (Louis Wu 15:55:01 UTC) (permalink)
Two Betrayals. Less than 12 minutes.
Gah. I totally spaced on putting this up earlier this week. insidi0us continues his work on speedruns (yeah, I know, we should be leaving this stuff to High Speed Halo... but insidi0us sends it here, and it's just so amazing!) - his latest target is Two Betrayals. The current run is only on Normal difficulty... but he shaved SO much time off the Going Nowhere Fast record of 25:03 that I couldn't pass it up. He finished the level in... yep, 11:52. (!!!!) Probably the sweetest move in the run comes at around 9:20... but man, the whole run just kicks. This is big - because it's long - and the quality isn't fantastic... but if you're a fan of speedruns, you gotta see this. (He released a 17:23 Legendary run last
month, so while he might not be able to get a sub-12-minute run on that difficulty, we know for sure he can beat the previous record by at least a third.) Two Betrayals, less than 12 minutes: WMP9 is 87 mb, QuickTIme is 90 mb. (Louis Wu 15:28:59 UTC) (permalink)
Smells Like A Sequel
Halo Babies has put up a new strip today... it, too, sends birthday wishes to Halo 2. It also points out one of the hazards of the Spartan uniform... (Louis Wu 15:18:52 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Custom Edition - Alive Again!
We got word from Dennis Powers that there's been a resurgence in HaloCE interest in the past month - more than 47 different maps have been released since October 1 (bringing the total available for download at Halo Maps to 568). Maps are getting more sophisticated since the release of the complete Halo tag set in October. Swing by and see what you can find! While you're there, you can check out the Halo CE Chronicles DVD - he's giving out the entire story (two seasons, 20 eps) to folks who've donated $10 or more to the website.

They just don't understand.
Day by Day followed up yesterday's Halo-related cartoon with another Halo-related cartoon (here's the direct link, again) - this one's even funnier if you've ever run across that marine in Delta Halo... thanks again, SteelGaribaldi. (Louis Wu 15:09:51 UTC) (permalink)
Podariffic
Podcast updates we've been lax on... Podtacular released episode 24 on Monday, and episode 25 yesterday. Gamertag Radio released episode 29 Wednesday (happy birthday, Halo 2!). 2old2type released episode 12 yesterday. MLG PwnCast released episode 3 last night. Go listen! Update: The MLG PwnCast Ep III was accidentally switched for Ep II - it's now been fixed. (Louis Wu 15:03:30 UTC) (permalink)
