Messin' with the Fans
A few days ago, we mentioned an article at the Hushed Casket which detailed the situation with a college student swept up involuntarily in the Iris ARG - rapture just gave us the heads-up about a YouTubed clip from G4's Attack of the Show in which they interviewed the guy live. If you start hearing rumors that Halo 3 is coming out for the Playstation 3... you can totally blame Kevin Pereira. (Louis Wu 23:13:33 UTC) (permalink)
H2V under XP - now
By now, the news that Falling Leaf is working on a program that will allow you to play Halo 2 Vista under XP is pretty common knowledge (though some of the issues with the company are not quite so commonly known - but that's another story). They're shooting for later this summer, though... but why wait? An enterprising programmer known as xtc has released WowLoader-0.2.rar - a tiny program that will allow you to install Halo 2 Vista under XP. How well does it work? In the words of Samusaaron3, who told us about it:
The game currently does not seem to run flawlessly - I have a pretty nice system, but I have to turn the settings down pretty low to have it run smoothly. Not bad for a free program though.
Intriguing news for those who don't want to upgrade to Vista! (Louis Wu 22:54:18 UTC) (permalink)
This Sucks.
The last of ZZoMBiE13's guest One One Se7en strips went up today, as a special Sunday Strip - Elites might be able to kiss better, but they've got some other problems. (Louis Wu 16:42:45 UTC) (permalink)
Zune Art, categorized
EliteSniper177 extracted all the Halo artwork from his Halo 3 Zune, packaged it up in categories, and made a zipfile out of it. He also provides instructions on how to use them as backgrounds. (Louis Wu 16:39:49 UTC) (permalink)
The Riot 53
Sigafoos let us know that The Riot 53 is now up - discussion of their recent LAN, and of course community updates. Go listen - 26 minutes, 10.5 mb. (Louis Wu 16:34:01 UTC) (permalink)
The Spartan Effect: Episode 5
A couple of days ago, Rookie Rabbit Productions released The Spartan Effect: Episode 5. It's up to their usual standards (check our news archive for older episodes), and they've asked for some hosting help, so that folks don't have to deal with FileFront if they don't want to - we're happy to oblige. You can grab the original WMP9 file (61.5) or a re-encoded QuickTime (58.5 mb) from our servers. (Their server has links to many other flavors; if you'd rather watch this on YouTube, you certainly can.)

Female Elite Art at DA
RVideo put together a collection of links to fan art on the DeviantART website that shows off female elites. Interesting way to spend some searching time! (Louis Wu 14:07:46 UTC) (permalink)

Yay for random Halo references!
A couple of random Halo references in yesterday's F@NBOY$ - thanks, AngelicLionheart. (Louis Wu 13:32:24 UTC) (permalink)
McFarlane preorders now available
Littlebigman found a place where you can preorder McFarlane Halo stuff - in bulk. (As in, they're not offering preorders on individual figures; you have to buy collections.) If you've got the cash, be first in your neighborhood with a preorder! (Louis Wu 13:13:53 UTC) (permalink)
Podtacular 117
Podtacular #117 (!!) has been released - an hour's worth of discussion about the new ARG (and other stuff, of course), Guest host is KapnKrunk. 43 mb. Thanks, Big Goalie Dan. (Louis Wu 13:09:45 UTC) (permalink)
Nashville Flugtag Report, Halo-Style
HallwayGiant was at the Red Bull Flugtag event yesterday in Nashville (we mentioned it in early May), and snapped some pics of the Halo Ghostbike that was in the competition. From the Event Results page, it doesn't look like they won anything - but man, they made a nice-looking flyer! (Louis Wu 13:05:54 UTC) (permalink)
Still Sharp
Heh - Stuntmutt might be caring for a newborn (well, with help), but he's still got time for teh funni - he stopped by the ARG forum yesterday to post a bonus shot at the ARG, and at a community regular - and he used the AutoMagic 117 Stripz script to do it. (Scroll further down the ARG thread for a pic of the little 'un and daddy.) (Louis Wu 12:59:45 UTC) (permalink)
