Fine, we'll post it. Happy?
A few days ago, a secret message was discovered on the mysterious site Origen Xbox 360. The details can be found in this IGN article- basically, there's a Latin message on the page that, if you kinda squint at it, may or may not have something to do with what may or may not be Halo 3. We don't know what it means, we don't have any secret information to help you with, and we're not willing to guess on record as to what this page means. So stop emailing us about it, OK?

Oddball
Bootstrap Boon is an HBO Helljumper who put together a long (21:39 long) story called 'Oddball' - it uses footage from a couple of multiplayer maps coupled with dialogue from the Dialogue Databank, all wrapped up with nice background music, to tell the story of a Spartan/Covenant conflict. It passed the MPRRS recently, so you can grab copies from our server. Warning: the original WMP9s are a bit off, aspect-wise. I asked BootStrap's brother about fixing this, and got no response - so you'll have to live with the problem. Also, the low-res WMP9 has screwed-up audio at the start - again, this is unfixable by me. The QuickTime versions (both low and medium res) do not have either of these problems. Grab the one that makes the most sense to you (please be gentle, these are huge, and we don't want to be poor next month):
- WMP9 Medium (856x480, 166.9 mb)
- WMP9 Small (428x240, 79.1 mb)
- QuickTime Medium (856x384, 138 mb)
- QuickTime Small (428x192, 66.6 mb)
Pretty ambitious work! (Louis Wu 07:56:33 UTC) (permalink)

Even if you're broke...
In the 'what fans are doing' category, Laird, of Sponsors vs Freeloaders, pointed me to an eBay auction in which he's selling a sketch of an SvF character, with all proceeds going to Hurricane Katrina relief. Check it out! (Louis Wu 07:29:09 UTC) (permalink)
Red vs Blue vs Green
Over at Halo Babies, the winning strip in their recent 'Red vs Blue' contest has been released as this week's normal comic. Nrek did the writing, Gruntsbane did the artwork. Knowledge of a popular custom gametype in Halo 2 multiplayer is necessary to get the joke. (Cute stuff!) (Louis Wu 07:22:44 UTC) (permalink)
Video Games Live - Redux
The Video Games Live tour, originally set up for this summer but delayed because interest was too great for some of the venues, is getting ready to kick off again; it starts in Seattle on October 29, with 27 additional tour dates to be announced soon around the US. There's an official trailer, in both WMP9 and QuickTime formats - go watch! (Louis Wu 07:17:33 UTC) (permalink)
Friday Reading
Seventeen new pieces for you in today's Fan Fiction update - go read. (I let a haiku through, because there's no real policy about them at this point - but I'm also MAKING a policy, because haiku crazes on the forum have shown me their potential for overwhelming the fanfic section. From now on, I have to say 'no' to haikus - you're welcome to post them on our forum, but please don't add them to the Fan Fiction section. Thanks!) (Louis Wu 07:14:12 UTC) (permalink)
