7 on the 7th Results
Our most recent 7 on the 7th contest had the fewest number of valid entries to of any contest to date; I blame the short timeframe and the relatively unorthodox ruleset. That said, we got some great entries! The hands-down favorite of all the judges was Omega's 'Grunt Crossing' - but this is a 7 on the 7th contest, so we don't HAVE just one winner - we have 7. You can see them all from this hastily-put-up page (winners have stars). Congrats to RAWPOWER95 (One One Se7en, painted), Doctor Zoidberg (Mister Chief), ICDedPpl (Legendary Skull, painted), Simen (Marathon logo), ManKitten (One One Se7en - nice lawn!), and przybysz86 (rocket launcher) for making the cut - and thanks to EVERYONE who contributed images to this contest! Frankie and Sketch are down in San Diego for Comic-Con, so I can't even tell you what the winners have won yet - yes, this is unusual. Sorry. Soon! In the meantime, check out the entries. Update: doh! I forgot to pull the .htaccess file - you couldn't get in without a username/pass. Sorry! Fixed now. (Louis Wu 20:33:17 UTC) (permalink)

Extra Marines in AotCR - and a new speech sighting
Whoa, funky. Rockslider has written up yet another way to gather additional marines on AotCR, in the original Halo - and this way actually gets you a new 16-second speech from Sergeant Johnson. Read his post for more details (Louis Wu 15:53:21 UTC) (permalink)
Crazy
Halfofthetime submitted a music vid that sets Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy' to modded Halo action; nice work. The MPRRS gave it a green light - so grab your copy in WMP9 format (36.8 mb) or QuickTime format (39.2 mb). (Louis Wu 15:30:14 UTC) (permalink)
Xar8's MC Model
Xar8 put together a really cool little Master Chief sculpture - and sent us some pics. You'll find 'em here. I want one! (Louis Wu 14:02:27 UTC) (permalink)
Mac Haul.
Stuntmutt has been playing with new toys. As today's One One Se7en shows, though, there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. (I'm going to refrain from any corn references here.) (Louis Wu 13:45:29 UTC) (permalink)

Xbox Gaming Radio Vol 1
TheMaker420 sent word of Xbox Gaming Radio (XGR), volume 1 - it contains discussion of many Halo 2-related websites, along with other games. Guest hosts this week are Xetzu and MaCeGac, talking about Oblivion. You can grab a copy from High Impact Noise or 360 Uploads. (Louis Wu 11:25:29 UTC) (permalink)
Zyos Interview at IGN
There's an interview with Matt 'Zyos' Leto over at IGN, as part of the ramp-up to the Championship Gaming Invitational kicking off today. I'm not sure how many top Halo players will actually be there... considering that MLG Chicago kicks off today, as well. Nevertheless, it's a fine read. (Louis Wu 11:17:31 UTC) (permalink)
New Content at Dead Man's Hand
Dead Man's Hand has been busy - lots of new Halo content over there right now. There's a discussion of story-driven games (using Halo as a positive example), a look at the franchisement of Halo (Masterchief Shampoo... hmm), an Ode to Banshee (you know you love something when you start writing poetry about it), and an interview with Athena Twin PMS, one of the leaders of the PMS gaming clan and a Halo fanatic. There's plenty of non-Halo content as well... so get to reading! (Thanks to Dweezle for stopping by and letting us know.) (Louis Wu 11:08:40 UTC) (permalink)
