And Don't Forget Foehammer...
In today's One One Se7en, Stuntmutt takes a look at some recent news... and puts some close-to-his-own heart spin on it. (Louis Wu 14:17:26 UTC) (permalink)
PraetoriaGuard Video 4
PraetoriaGuard has put up their fourth video - you'll find it on their Downloads page. I'd recommend the hi-res version, even though it's huge - the lower-res version is pretty highly compressed, and at a screwy aspect ratio to boot. As has been true of their previous vids, it's a collection of small skits - a couple are great. At the moment, It's just WMP9 versions, but it's possible that they'll add QuickTimes soon, too. Thanks to LordGideon and Bumbadawg for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 14:11:35 UTC) (permalink)
Still more vids at H2F
Z pointed out 4 new movies to download over at Halo2Forum.com - there's clan Exit Woundz 4v4 CTF on Warlock (92.4 mb), clan Exit Woundz 4v4 TS on Ivory Tower (94.6 mb), Chronic's Halo 2 mods (90.6 mb), and a parody of MTV Cribs based on Lockout (41.6 mb). The two gameplay vids are worth watching. (Louis Wu 14:00:21 UTC) (permalink)
MLG Pros to appear at DigitalLife
DigitalLife is a 'consumer technology and entertainment event' (a convention, in other words) that will be taking place this weekend at the Javits Convention Center in New York City. The Xbox360 will be there to play, and several Major League Gamers (LiL Poison, Zyos, and Xena) will be appearing as special guests. If you're in the area - check it out! Thanks, Victor.

LA Times on machinima
There's a big article on machinima, focusing on Red vs Blue, over at the LA Times (it's possible that registration is required - you could try bugmenot.com if you're not interested in registering). An entertainment form coming into its own, and getting lots of mainstream press... coolness! Thanks, mr cappy. (Louis Wu 13:33:21 UTC) (permalink)
PGL Orlando Results Announced
Back in July, we mentioned a tourney taking place in Orlando, sponsored by the PGL - Jay Marrero sent along the the results. Congrats to John Van (1st place, $500), Daniel Garcia (2nd place, $250), Chris Peters (3rd place, $150), and Joe Miller (4th place, $100) - all prizes came from Liquid Ice Energy Drink.

Halo Underground News
Halo Underground has added Beaver Creek to their list of FarCry Halo ports (I thought they'd already released that, but it turns out that this is a new version - and that there's also a version of Lockout available). They're also putting together a Halo 2 tournament - details are currently sketchy, but what there is can be found in this post. (Louis Wu 12:44:57 UTC) (permalink)
HaloCE Tags, easier downloads
Last week, we mentioned that someone had extracted - and put up for download - the entire tagset from HaloCE, making it much easier to create new content. However, the download was more than 350 mb, and included a lot of information that some downloaders would never use. Dennis Powers has broken the tagset up into 18 separate, logical archives for easier downloads - you can grab only those pieces you need. Check it out! (While you're there, you can also grab mirrored copies of the latest SvF episode, if you didn't last week - both the WMP9 and QuickTime versions are up there.) (Louis Wu 12:37:13 UTC) (permalink)
Racism in Multiplayer Games
Funky. MTV is looking for folks who have experienced racism during multiplayer games (Halo is mentioned by name). Looks like they're putting together a piece. Thanks, Mr Yun. (Louis Wu 12:30:23 UTC) (permalink)
RoP - Best Action Sequence
That Weasel wrote to point out the Best Action Sequence pre-release segment for the Rockets on Prisoner awards - swing by to grab the file, in one of 6 formats, to see who was nominated... and who took the win! (Louis Wu 12:27:03 UTC) (permalink)
