Squadron Ep 4 Posted
Broken Console Productions has posted Episode 4 of The Squadron - 'Your Mom's An Episode'. It was fun - go watch it. Because of bandwidth issues, they've begun accepting sponsors - toss 'em £10 and you're a sponsor for a year. (That link contains details about what you get, as well as how to go about it.) The vid is currently available in WMP9 format, but a QuickTime link should be up soon. (Louis Wu 21:21:20 UTC) (permalink)
HCEC Ep 19: Gaia
The Halo CE Chronicles nears the end of season 2 - the penultimate episode, Episode 19, 'Gaia', has been posted on the Movies page. The struggle for control of the ring heats up... at the same time that the station commander comes face to face with something much bigger than himself... and teaches a friend a critical skill. Available, as always, in WMP9, QuickTime, and streaming Flash formats. (Louis Wu 19:45:36 UTC) (permalink)
That looks like it hurts.
Well... she hasn't been keeping me appraised of new work, but that's not gonna stop me from adding it to her art page anyway. Go check Elnea's Art Page for two new comics (both combining Farscape and Red vs Blue, two of her biggest passions), and two new avatars made for friends. (Look for the September dates.) Update: 2 more have been added to the 'Cartoons and Art Works' - another Farscape crossover, and a colored sketch. Thanks, Elnea! (Louis Wu 19:02:33 UTC) (permalink)
Another Major Nelson Podcast Interview
2old2play.com has posted Episode 8.5 - a short (20 minute) interview with Major Nelson. The guy's really doing the podcast circuit! Go listen. (Louis Wu 18:33:21 UTC) (permalink)
Redeye Reduction Already Applied.
And speaking of our favorite pun-ter, Stuntmutt has been spotlighted over at The Junkyard; go read what makes him tick. There's even a custom strip, made just for the occasion. Thanks, Mhaddy. (Louis Wu 16:51:43 UTC) (permalink)

Team3D dominates at WCG2005 US Finals
The US Finals of the World Cyber Games were held this weekend, as well (MLG Seattle on the West coast, WCG2005 finals on the East coast - it was Halo across the land); Team3D came out on top. The final match was actually OGRE1 and OGRE2 against Hotshy and Saiyan - T3D against T3D! The Ogres walked away with this one, and will be representing the US in Singapore in November. You can read more at Team3D - and you can read a mainstream article about the tournament (with a focus on Matt Leto) at FoxNews.com. (Louis Wu 15:24:39 UTC) (permalink)
Goatacular Map Pack
mothergoat's been around for quite some time, and has garnered community respect both for his mapmaking skills in HaloCE, and for his musical abilities (do a search in our news database for some of his Halo-related works) - he's back, with more of both. The Goatacular Map Pack includes 3 new maps, created with the help of some of the bigger names in the HaloCE community - he's posted descriptions, screenshots, walkthrough movies, and the new musical piece that accompanies them. Go grab the lot! (Louis Wu 15:00:16 UTC) (permalink)
Like Gladiator - but smaller
Gladiator Evolved, a movie we released yesterday, seems to be a hit - we've served over 8000 copies of it in the last 24 hours or so (accounting for over half a terabyte of data). For folks afraid of the 80 mb download, GearboxGameZone has posted smaller versions (320x240, under 40 mb each for the WMP9 and QuickTime versions). (A thread on our forum seems to suggest that folks have enjoyed this film.) Thanks for the help, Dennis! Update - the original (80 mb) .mov is now being mirrored by Wraith7n - thanks!

Lego Stuff - summarized
Fury Three has once again summarized the Halo-related Lego offerings at Brickshelf - or, at least, the stuff he thinks is worth seeing. (There are 76 entries in his collection.) You can grab a zipped Excel file, or view an Excel-generated html file - both contain the same info. (Louis Wu 14:32:08 UTC) (permalink)
A Halo CE Road Trip
Dennis Powers pointed out a video called 'A Halo CE Road Trip' - it's a tribute to Halo CE Mappers, and it does a nice job of showing you what's out there by flying through a number of maps. It was created by Siliconmaster482. It's available in both WMP9 and QuickTime formats from the GearboxGameZone website - 22.2 and 25.9 mb, respectively. Grab a copy!
