Last shot at that orange helmet!
Briar pointed out that the Halo helmet auction on eBay (we mentioned it last week) ends in less than an hour. If you want this, get over there now! (Current bid is $285.) (Louis Wu 19:38:55 UTC) (permalink)
Re... something.
Sometimes, a One One Se7en is released that is funny, but depressing, at the same time, because it is SO true. Today's is one of those strips. (Louis Wu 14:37:58 UTC) (permalink)
Priorities.
Wow. There's not a lot to say about this... except 'wow'. (Specific article mentioned is here.) (Louis Wu 14:24:26 UTC) (permalink)
Friday's Fanfic
Twelve new stories for you in the Fan Fiction section. (There were a lot more - but it seems that folks are forgetting that there are rules about submissions...) Go read. (Louis Wu 14:15:44 UTC) (permalink)
Just have an Excel window ready for cover.
More blogging goodness, over at Dead Man's Hand - a great piece on teamwork (or the lack of it), more discussion of quitters, and a 22 Questions interview (well, 21) with Bungie's Shishka. You've got a few more minutes before the boss is back, right? Thanks, Dweezle. (Louis Wu 13:43:01 UTC) (permalink)
From Griefing to N00bs
XerxdeeJ stopped by to point out new content at Tied the Leader - an exhortation to Adopt a N00b (Do it! Suck 'em in!), and another look at dealing with people who, for whatever reason, are killing themselves continuously in your game. Good stuff! (Louis Wu 13:26:56 UTC) (permalink)
Corrupt
Last week, bryboy remix's video 'Corrupt' passed the MPRRS with flying colors - but we wanted to get hold of a higher-quality version before we released it. That came in today - so we're posting it, in both WMP9 format (79.4 mb) and QuickTime format (79 mb). It tells the story of a disillusioned man who loses himself in dreams and flashbacks - but can he bring himself back to reality in time to save his people from a corrupt government? Great ambience, and wonderful voiceovers. As you can probably tell from the size, it's long - 15 minutes. Grab a copy and tell your friends! (Louis Wu 01:18:55 UTC) (permalink)
Weta Workers involved with Halo
Charles Walsh is (like the rest of us) dying for more info about the Halo movie - so he went digging around on the Weta Workshop website. He found four people who are (publicly) working on Halo assets: Greg Broadmore, Brad Goff
, Daniel Falconer, and Stephen Crowe. It's not a LOT of info... but sometimes, the little stuff is enough! Googlemaniacs... get to work! (Louis Wu 00:56:07 UTC) (permalink)
What the...
raheem azam sent us a note about a user on YouTube that has a series of short, low-quality videos of a Brute... breakdancing. Huh? If anyone can get better video of this... I'd love to see it. (And host it, of course.) Update: okay, okay, you can stop sending emails. A LOT of people wrote to point out that this animation is relatively common; it's NOT a real 'breakdance', it's just a brute getting stuck in the floor. Party poopers.
