A Sniper Shot Me
Patriarch917 has submitted what he thinks might be his final parody (at least for the time being) - he and his wife just had a second baby (check out the pic of Lily on his music page), and law school starts today. This one is called 'A Sniper Shot Me', and is a parody of Audio Adrenaline's Christian rock anthem 'Some kind of Zombie'. 6.6 mb, in MP3 format. Check it out! (Louis Wu 15:16:05 UTC)

The End of All Things
Episode 20 of the Codex, the final of the series, was released a few hours ago. It's currently only available in QuickTime, but WMP9 should be coming later today. Thirteen and a half minutes long, this is a fitting end to a spectacular series - plenty of action, drama, suspense... great filming, great overall production values. Check it out! While you're there, look around the site - it's been overhauled. Each video has its own page now (with much more info than before), and there's a new online store, selling t-shirts, and the Codex Soundtrack. (Louis Wu 12:28:00 UTC)

Imto - Death Strike
Must be the day of women Halo artists, or something. I was digging around DeviantART, and I found a great image of an elite, colored by Tina Leyk. The original artwork, with a gorgeous double energy sword, was drawn by her friend callyfin - and callyfin did her own colored version... but then offered the inked (black and white) version to anyone who wanted to color it. Tina's interpretation is stunning. We've added this image (in both flavors, the original and Tina's recolored version) to her local Halo art page. Check it out! (Louis Wu 19:53:37 UTC)

Tied the Leader Weekly Update
XerxdeeJ posted his weekly Tied the Leader update on our forum - there's a reader poll asking for the cleverest in-game taunt, a look at a potential wedding ring (congrats, btw, XerxdeeJ!), a reader poll looking for reasons why Halo is as popular as it is, and semantic study of onomatopoeic utterances, among other things. Go check it out! (Louis Wu 19:51:02 UTC)

The Fall of Reach Trailer
A number of movies have passed our own Movie Peer Review Rating Service recently; the first is quite small (1:50, just over 5 mb, in both QuickTime and WMP9 formats) - it's a trailer for an upcoming 8-episode machinima based on the novel The Fall of Reach. The project is coming from a British Clan, and their website contains more info about the project (including a call for voice work). The video itself is predominantly cutscene footage, from both Halo and Halo 2, with some nice timing and coordination. Check it out!

Incoming - again
Samir Patel pointed out Incoming, a mod for Half-Life 2. (It was a mod for Half-Life first, and we mentioned it about 3 years ago.) It's not a Halo mod - but it DOES 'feature elements from [Halo] as a token of appreciation' (specifically the Warthog and the Spartan armor). Go check it out. (Louis Wu 14:40:57 UTC)
