KSP SRT Montage 4
KSP SRT submitted another montage to the MPRRS - though it was really heavily loaded with effects, they liked it. You can grab it in WMP9 format (48.5 mb) or QuickTime format (55.5 mb). In this case, the WMP9 version is better - sorry to the QT users! (Louis Wu 19:48:53 UTC) (permalink)
GetScrims
Victor De Leon sends word about GetScrims.com - a service to help halo players hook up with one another, before they get on Xbox Live. Take a look! (Louis Wu 17:33:56 UTC) (permalink)
Radio Activity.

A digital pastime prodigy
The New York Post has an article about Lil Poison - and how he's making money tutoring adults to play Halo. Nice! Thanks, Jim Shorts. (Louis Wu 15:44:49 UTC) (permalink)
TTL + DMH = TDTMLH (or something)
XerxdeeJ pointed out that two of the larger Halo-based blogs, Tied the Leader and Dead Man's Hand, are merging - you'll find the newest Dead Man's Hand content over at the Tied the Leader site. (Including, this time around, a 22 Questions interview with a random Halo fansite admin.) (Louis Wu 15:35:44 UTC) (permalink)

The World's Most Dangerous Gamers
A few days ago, vlad3163 put up a note on our forum that I forgot to mention; the October issue of Electronic Games Monthly contains a feature they call 'The World's Most Dangerous Gamers' - and 3 of the 5 collectible cards they have are Halo-related! Congrats to 'The Damsel' aka Amber Dalton aka Athena Twin PMS, 'The Power Duo' aka Dan and Tom Ryan aka OGREs 1 and 2, and 'The Kid' aka Vector de Leon III aka Lil Poison, for making this exclusive list! (And thanks to Athena Twin for reminding me I hadn't actually posted this.) Go grab a copy of the latest EGM to see these cards! (Louis Wu 13:58:13 UTC) (permalink)
Egg DB online at HIH
Over at High Impact Halo, Ducain posted a notice about a new Halo 2 Easter Egg Database; it's a work in progress, and right now contains (mixed in among the real easter eggs) a bunch of stuff that probably shouldn't be considered 'eggs', per se... but it's a fantastic start, and it'll be polished up as time goes on. For now, give it a look-see; check out some stuff you might have missed, and let THEM know about stuff THEY might have missed! (Louis Wu 13:53:46 UTC) (permalink)
The Depth of the Details
Jordan117 half-jokingly asked Bungie to acknowledge this... they might, or they might not, but it's a pretty interesting read, so I'm putting it here, because I think more people should see it. He's got some interesting theories about Earth-related backstory - stuff that hasn't actually been discussed, but which (if you check out his meticulously gathered evidence) shows up in a LOT of places, suggesting a lot of Bungie artists and modelers have been involved in fleshing this out. Go read 'em - then leave your own commentary. (I'd love to see some screenshots of Earth from Cairo Station, for comparison...) (Louis Wu 02:23:59 UTC) (permalink)
I hate it when they practice.
Bungie's version of the Halo Humpday Challenge is now up - and surprisingly, it matches that of the Video Game Refugees pretty closely. (I think I just saw Miss Piggy float past my window.) Good postmortem, overall - if the rest of the Bungie guys actually READ this, they might learn enough strategy to beat the next group of octogenarians they play... looks like hnc was first.
