Sticky Style 2
A movie passed the MPRRS a few days ago - but because it was encoded in H.264, I thought it might be better to re-encode it into formats more universal across the hardware spectrum. This has taken a bit longer than expected - apologies to Spuzzum, the creator, and thanks for his patience! The video is called 'Sticky Style 2', and shows off some pretty amazing plasma grenade sticks in Halo 2 campaign play. (I shudder to think how long it took to set a couple of these up...) The brute tallies were especially entertaining. Watch it - and enjoy some really well-timed gameplay! You can grab a QuickTime version (37.6 mb) or a WMP9 version (40.8 mb)... then go grab your own stickydooms and see how you keep up! (Louis Wu 22:35:15 UTC) (permalink)
Pictures, Pictures, everywhere
I guess it's Art Week - four new pics from Bryn 'ofthehi77' Casey, first posted over at his brother's site, yayap.com. My favorite is this pic of a pair of Hunters - but I also really like this loose MC. A full-body shot of Cortana and Scarlett Johansson as Linda round out the batch. Go look!

Hey, c0ld, your boss is reading this!
Halo Arena has interviewed c0ld vengeance, longtime HBO denizen and occasional credit whore - go read what he likes (and doesn't like) about Halo, in all its forms! (Louis Wu 17:49:20 UTC) (permalink)
Ash Wednesday.
Vern Shields continues his overloading hijinx - he's been so dedicated, he's inspired Stuntmutt for today's One One Se7en. (Hehe - is that a good thing, or a bad thing?) (Louis Wu 15:25:21 UTC) (permalink)

Making Avatars for Friends
Another avatar from Elnea - a female spartan with a light saber? Wonga. (She says she'll never catch up with the number of pending requests for these, so you might want to re-think sending her your specs.) (Louis Wu 13:40:51 UTC) (permalink)
Futuristic Sex Robotz - Ramping Up
Some of you may remember the Futuristic Sex Robotz, the Gangster Nerd Rap group that created 'Don't Make Us Kick Your Ass' a while back. (It's not clean - but it's pretty hilarious, and I don't even LIKE gangsta rap.) They've got a spiffy new website up, in preparation for a full-length album coming out early next year (entitled 'Hotel Coral Essex'). There's no new content - but it's possible you haven't heard their 'Welcome to the Internet' single, or seen their Halo-related content in the context of their own interface. If you missed them the first time around, go visit! It's pretty polished stuff, all around. (Louis Wu 03:25:05 UTC) (permalink)
The Voiceless Prisoner
Mothergoat has created a new version of 'The Prisoner', the song he released yesterday with his new HaloCE maps. This version is missing the narration at the beginning, making it more suitable for Halo vids. (If you use it as such, read his post carefully for credit requirements.) He's linked a copy from his website... but we're gonna mirror it just in case (he got swamped yesterday due to overeager fans, I don't want that to happen again). MP3 format, 5 mb. Awesome.

DeviantART Goodies
Guardian found a number of very nice pieces of Halo-related artwork at DeviantART, pieces that have never been mentioned here. Great stuff. Go look. Update: Exiled Zealot proves the Search function at DA works nicely, by turning up a LOT of Elite art links. (Louis Wu 03:00:32 UTC) (permalink)
I should print that... for my nephew
Wow. ManKitten posted a bunch of scans from a coloring book he made in one of his illustration classes last year. They're just from screenshots - but they're beautifully clean. I'm lovin' em. (I'd love to see the hi-res versions he mentions...) Update: ManKitten sent along those higher-res scans, and I've posted the whole lot in a single post; swing by to see what's worth grabbing!
