Stay Warm.
Hanchen Lu and 3Suns both pointed out a Halo 2-themed blanket at Josh Smith Online. Perfect for snuggling... or blowing people up! (Louis Wu 20:02:46 UTC) (permalink)
Stick a fork in 'im...
Mintz points out that there's quite a bit of new PSP-friendly content on Halo: Portable - and that this will be the last update of the year. Music, articles, videos, artwork, fanfic - it's all there! (Louis Wu 20:00:13 UTC) (permalink)
Could Well Earn Me The Ban Hammer.
Stuntmutt takes a crack at Frankie in today's One One Se7en. It might be missing a little off the top... (Louis Wu 14:16:30 UTC) (permalink)
Pro Gameplay at H2F
Over at Halo2Forum.com, you'll find a couple of great gameplay vids - Exit Woundz playing TmG and Exit Wounds vs Legendz (plus Fonzi and Ms Hotshy). Snipers on Sanctuary (both of them)... great to see how pros use cover. The first vid is 92 mb, the second 134 - both are WMP9 format. Go watch! (Louis Wu 13:01:14 UTC) (permalink)
DropShock Episode 08
DropShockRadio has posted their suicideXmas edition - in their words, 'girls get added to the "List" and some Plasma Punchout know-how.' Just under an hour, 27 mb - go grab a copy! (Louis Wu 12:35:49 UTC) (permalink)
PTG - one year old!
LordGideon wrote recently to point out that PraetoriaGuard had their first birthday on Saturday - and in celebration, they've released Episode 5, a celebration of that birthday, a sad farewell to Skvwire, and a an overall reminiscence of the past year in the Guard. 113 mb, in WMP9 format... go by, grab a copy, and wish 'em a happy birthday!

This Spartan Life Webisodes on SpikeTV
Chris Burke, of This Spartan Life, let us know that some special films they'd made for SpikeTV have been put online. (They were originally created as support for Spike's Videogame Awards show that aired 2 weeks ago, but there were some unavoidable delays - they're just going up now.) To see them, visit the SpikeTV VGA site, and follow the VGA TV link. At the moment, I can see three of them - an interview with Jeph Howard of The Used, an interview with Curt Vendel, of the Atari Museum, and an interview with Geoff Keighley, the host of Spike TV's Gamehead. They're great interviews, interspersed with life in the Halo universe. More might be coming online (there were 6 originally), so keep your eyes peeled! (Louis Wu 12:09:11 UTC) (permalink)
Flame War: Faith, Hope, and Duality
Sponsors vs Freeloaders has released Episode 9 of their Flame War series - this one is titled 'Faith, Hope, and Duality'. The disparate storylines get more disparate - instead of a single cliffhanger at the end of this one, there are several. As usual, great filming, great voicework - a really nice piece. This episode is 10:20 long, and weighs in at about 70 mb for the large version, 20-40 mb for the smaller one. SvF is serving a Hi-res WMP9, as well as low-res WMP9 and QuickTime versions. We're mirroring the hi-res WMP9 (70 mb) as well as offering a hi-res QuickTime (68 mb). Grab the one that fits your bandwidth budget and viewing style! Thanks to Laird, on our forum, and Yaksha, via email, for letting us know. (Louis Wu 11:57:13 UTC) (permalink)
Jump Tactics Mix 2
Derik Olsson stopped by our forum to point out Jump Tactics Mix 2, a
new video release from the Jump Tactics team - awesome jumps, fantastic filming. If you like Jumping vids, you HAVE to see this one. Download links (AVI,DivX, and WMP9 formats, with QuickTime coming) can be found in this thread on the Jump Tactics forum. (Louis Wu 11:47:35 UTC) (permalink)
HBO-themed clan forum skin
c0ld vengeance slaved away on Christmas day in order to release a new skin for the ClanHBO forum - he did an awesome job matching the look of HBO. Swing by, edit your profile, and choose the 'HBO' Board Style to see it. w00t! (Louis Wu 11:39:14 UTC) (permalink)
Christmas Wrapup
Whew! Christmas was a day spent with family and friends, away from electronics of all sorts. (Yes, a number of electronic devices appeared under our tree... but their use was put off until today.) That didn't stop Halo fans from around the net from celebrating, though - so we've got a lot of catching up to do! Halo Babies put up a fantastic Christmas wish image, created by HB forum member Etoli. It's still on their front page - go see it. (Once it slips off, you can find it at this URL.) KillR pointed out that his Beyond Halo has a holiday greeting from the Great White North. Stephen Loftus turned his Pillar of Autumn model into a Halo-themed Christmas tree. Both Dillo and Darkneshasfallen posted Christmas-themed images on our forum. And da zing man created a great little 3D animation over at Newgrounds, entitled 'A Very Covenant Christmas'. I'm sure there are more examples around the Haloverse... but that should do for now! Update: There was a great Christmas wish from Amanda, of 7Pandas - I almost missed it. Their QuickTime version is noticeably degraded when compared to their WMP9 version - so I've whipped up another version. QuickTime users aren't second-class! (We're mirroring the WMP9, too.)
