Free Red Bull
MLGPro's Player of the Week this week is TuLegit - 15 years old, and with a pretty dang impressive performance at MLG Chicago. Go read about it! Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 22:36:34 UTC) (permalink)
Still on top
Major Nelson has posted a top 10 XBL games list on his blog (which seems to be down at the moment) - the number one game? Yep, still Halo 2. Thanks, Gamasutra. (Louis Wu 22:34:16 UTC) (permalink)
First Contact Coming Along
Kashoki writes to point out that work proceeds apace on First Contact, a Half-Life 2 mod - you can see a pelican model and a Covenant Capital Ship on their Mod DB page. They're still looking for animators, skinners, coders, and modelers... if you like what you see, join up! Showcase cinematic coming soon. (Louis Wu 22:30:19 UTC) (permalink)
54 - the Intro
Central writes to say that he's got a new series in production, called '54'. He's already got an introductory movie for you (23.3 mb, WMP9 format, zipped), but he's looking for voice actors. If you'd like to help, contact info is in the readme - drop him a line! This one uses HaloCE nicely; the initial work looks quite promising. Take a look! (Louis Wu 22:16:21 UTC) (permalink)
PHP Stats 2.0
Ed Chipman pointed out that PHP Stats 2.0 has been released - lots and lots and lots of new features. Check it out! (Louis Wu 22:10:40 UTC) (permalink)
I'm not sure I could fit that on my wall.
Wow. Xbox Australia is selling that huge, huge Halo 2 Coke sign that hung in King's Cross - the auction goes live next week, and the proceeds benefit the Make-A-Wish foundation. More details can be found in Frankie's writeup on B.net. Thanks to Vironex for pointing it out. (Louis Wu 20:19:24 UTC) (permalink)
It's Not Like They Knead The Dough.
Yes, it's true - you can get a taste for how low the current One One Se7en sinks simply by perusing the title. Methinks Stuntmutt has been drinking heavily recently... (Louis Wu 19:50:01 UTC) (permalink)
A new webring
imSuck put together a very pretty webring you can use for your homepage - or just for navigating to most of the large Halo sites out there. There are a couple of community forum threads you can join in if you feel the need to comment (HIH and HaloGrid)... but check it out in any case, just because it's purdy.

Heroes and Heretics - Opening Credits
A couple of days ago, Slacker Entertainment posted a new clip for their Heroes & Heretics series; the Opening Credits are now up. It's just credits... but the production value is highhighhigh. I can't WAIT for ep 1! (Music is original, and quite good; these guys know what they're doing, across the board.) Check it out. Available in QuickTime, DivX, and WMP9 formats, both high and low res. They're hosting all of them - because they want to give their server a workout... but I'd have no problem stepping in if they ran into trouble; this one's worth seeing. Thanks to sbear for the first heads-up on this stuff. (Louis Wu 15:05:07 UTC) (permalink)
Football and Halo
In honor of yesterday's Superbowl, Veegie put this little beauty together - and retsamolah reminded us of an older pic he did. (I didn't have a favorite going into the game - I haven't had time to watch any football this year - but I have to say, whoever's job it was in the Steelers organization to pay off the referees... he really earned his keep last night.) Update: Frankie did a little work on Veegie's image - seems more appropriate, now. (Louis Wu 13:46:42 UTC) (permalink)
