SvF Fan Art
After watching the most recent episodes of Sponsors vs Freeloaders, Elnea was inspired to create a piece of fan art illustrating a scene in Episode 7. We've added it to her art collection here. As she says, this is "fan art of a fan series about a fan series about a video game" - shades of Oliver Stone. Take a look! (Louis Wu 15:20:27 UTC) (permalink)
I Love Bees, Reordered - Parts 3 and 4
We continue with the release of the remixed I Love Bees audio files Webshift has put together; Episodes 3 and 4 are now available for download. Relive last summer's magic! (Louis Wu 13:51:11 UTC) (permalink)
ArcXnuS - Upcoming
A group called Silhouette-Robin Productions recently came to our attention when the trailer for ArcXnuS, the "first full length halo 2 machinima trilogy" (their description), passed our Movie Peer Review Rating System. They weren't looking for hosting, just feedback - it's a short trailer, but the reviewers liked the way it told its story. Go grab a copy from their site! (Louis Wu 13:34:32 UTC) (permalink)
Corn Star.
If you thought One One Se7en was ALREADY too full of puns, stay far, far away from today's comic. It's like someone blew up a fusion core that was standing next to a whole TEAM of puns. (Louis Wu 13:26:12 UTC) (permalink)
You're Outta Your Gourd 2005
I'm announcing this now, because I want to make sure I don't let it slip entirely - but the full details haven't been worked out yet (mostly prizes). Last year, we held a pumpkin-carving contest - it went really well, and folks wanted us to do it again. So we're doing it again. The rules will be pretty similar to last year's contest: we have to have your results by October 31, it can't be digitally altered, etc. The one change we're considering is accepting submissions from outside the US. (While there is no NTSC Xbox to be given away this year, we HAVE been offered gift cards at EB Games - this might make European, Asian, or Australian winners annoyed. We'll have to see how this works out.) Anyway, there's time - we won't begin accepting submissions before October 1, and the deadline is almost 5 weeks away, so you don't have to worry that you've missed the boat. More details - and an honest-to-goodness launch page - coming later this week! (Louis Wu 12:34:04 UTC) (permalink)
Monday Text
Ten new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section this morning. Read. (Louis Wu 12:16:33 UTC) (permalink)
Splode
Dustin wrote to tell us about Splode, a new apparel site that caters to gamers; one of their offerings is directly Halo-related. They're also offering an HBO-only discount; enter 'hbo1' (no quotes, and it's case-sensitive) in the promotion code box, and you'll receive 15% off that item. Go check 'em out!

New vids at Halo2Forum
Three new movies for download over at Halo2Forum.com - two montage trailers, one full montage. ArKiVe's Montage 2 Trailer (19.1 mb) is almost all snipes, with an occasional sticky or beatdown. Titan VIII's Montage 4 Preview (43.7 mb) is heavy on the BR action. And Fyler's First Montage (91.7 mb) is full of all sorts of stuff. All are in WMP9 format. Go watch. Thanks, Z.

Pirates!
Red vs Blue Episode 62, 'Lost in Triangulation', was a little late in coming this week (congratulations, Geoff!), but it's here now for sponsors, and should be up in the not-too-distant future for the masses. Almost 6 minutes of RvB goodness, this one follows the three evolving storylines of season 4 - Sarge's megalomaniacism, the Blues' interaction with Fluffy (well, I like that better than his REAL name), and Simmons' attempt to live peacefully with 66 tons of deadly steel. Go grab it! (Louis Wu 10:09:47 UTC) (permalink)
MLG PwnCast - a new Halo 2 podcast
A new Halo 2 podcast popped up yesterday; the Unofficial MLG PwnCast aims to help folks play Halo 2 better than they did before, and caters specifically to the MLG Customs community. The first episode is three and a half minutes long, weighs in at 4 mb, and introduces the ideas behind the show. Go listen! (Louis Wu 09:57:18 UTC) (permalink)
