Click The 'First' Link Under This Strip.
The title of today's One One Se7en tells me that not only is Stuntmutt willing to recycle old jokes, but that he's unsure enough about your quickness, as readers, that he feels the need to EXPLAIN the joke to you. If I were you, I'd feel offended. Maybe even boycott the strip. That'll teach 'im. (Clearly, he wasn't talking to ME.) (Louis Wu 13:49:59 UTC) (permalink)
Friday's Fanfic
In what seems to be becoming a pattern, there are 7 new entries in the Fan Fiction section this week. Go read 'em! (Louis Wu 13:30:51 UTC) (permalink)
Body Count
This Spartan Life has posted Module 5 of Episode 4 - Body Count. This time around, it's a debate between Ann Coulter, queen of neocons, and Tom Anderson, founder of MySpace, over the validity (and usefulness) of the Patriot Act. (The actual topic description is 'Homeland Security Vs. Civil Liberties'.) We try to stay out of politics here at HBO (there's a strict ban on political discussion on our forum), but when rocket launchers are involved... well, it can be pretty entertaining. Available (as always) in QuickTime and WMP9 formats. (Louis Wu 06:08:45 UTC) (permalink)
Achievement Unlocked
Archie Gates, the guy behind the Needler songs, has kicked off a new project; he's writing songs about games, and the first one out of the box is called 'Achievement Unlocked'. It's not really Halo-related, but most Halo players will be able to relate - it's pretty darned funny! It's available for free, streaming off his MySpace webpage - but if you, like me, have trouble with the stuttering that comes from MySpace streams, it's downloadable, in high-quality MP3 format, for just a buck. Check it out! Chaos Tangent mentioned it on our forum before I had a chance to post it here... (Louis Wu 05:36:24 UTC) (permalink)
And the lesson is... Shishka sucks.
Bungie's latest Halo Humpday didn't go so well for them on the virtual battlefield... but they made up for it in the writeup. (This picture is priceless. Priceless, I tell you.) They played Certain Affinity, and they played on new Certain Affinity-built maps, and they got OWNED. Such is life. (And death. Quite a lot of death, apparently.) Baratos was first on our forum to notice. (Louis Wu 05:19:35 UTC) (permalink)
iMega Unveiled
Omegga stopped by to point out iMega, a new tool he's developed for HaloPC dedicated servers. Gives you a lot of the control you get with the HaloCE dedicated server. (Louis Wu 05:09:47 UTC) (permalink)
See the Halo 2 Vista Trailer 1 day early
Gamerscore Blog has a story about an exclusive sneak peek at a Halo 2 Vista trailer; sign up for Microsoft's Games for Windows newsletter, get on the 24 hour sneak preview list for the trailer. (You'll get an email when the trailer is available - no word on when that will be. I didn't even know there WAS a Halo 2 Vista trailer.) Thanks, rapture. (Louis Wu 05:05:37 UTC) (permalink)
