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 Squadron Ep 2: Check
The folks at Broken Console have posted Episode 2 of their machinima series, The Squadron. You can grab it in either WMP9 or QuickTime formats at their website - roughly 15 mb, depending on the format. Continues the humor-with-a-storyline they started with episode one - go watch!

Fan-made RvB Season 4 Posters
Hawaiian Pig is back in the RvB Movie Poster business - he's made a few different versions in honor of the upcoming start of Season 4. His first try was in this post - then he messed with fonts to get the image in this post... and finally offered up the image in this post. I've added local alternate links to all three posts; if his bandwidth gets out of control, and he pulls the originals, the alternates will continue to work. (Louis Wu 12:42:22 UTC)

Start, Y, Left, (etc)
On a happier note, we finally have today's One One Se7en online for you to read. I didn't get the joke, at first, because I didn't recognize the guy. Stuntmutt, I guess, thought I was kidding when I told him that, because he didn't clarify. This requires me to admit to you that I own no Eminem albums, and have never seen 8 Mile. Sorry.

Hi Ben - Found
Last week, Frankie said that if nobody found the Hi Ben egg in Halo by this Friday, he'd reveal the details. krakho pointed out that over on the Bungie.net forums, M0N3y 5H07 laid out how to find the egg, on the level Regret. (There are screenshots in that thread, if you want to hunt for them.) AlucardX posted a note on the HIH forum pointing to the description, and Reidon made a video showing where, exactly, to find it. I hate Putfile with a passion, so I've posted the 3.5 mb WMP9 vid (and a 3.8 mb Quicktime version) on our servers. Again: M0N3y 5H07 found the egg, Reidon made this vid showing how to find it. Congrats to everyone! (Louis Wu 16:01:15 UTC)

I don't know where to begin.
Black Six wrote to let us know that today's Mac Hall (guest-drawn by Jamie Noguchi, whose Angry Zen Master comic we mentioned a couple of months ago) has some pretty cool Halo content in it. (The beginning of that story arc started a few comics ago - you might want to look there first.) w00t! (The topic itself is so chock-full of geek-goodness, I'm having trouble cataloguing it all.)

MikeMan27 and Nefarious Dan Return: The Trailer
Video number two for the day - this is a teaser trailer for a montage video coming out soon, from Mikeman27 and Nefarious Dan. It was released on our forum last week, but got minimal feedback... so they submitted it to the MPRRS, where it passed. The large frame around the content is actually there on purpose; it's an attempt to keep you from full-screening the vid. (Mike assures me that the final vid will be of higher quality, and won't need this limitation.) Timing's quite good, action is suitably frenzied. 13 mb, in WMP9 or QuickTime formats.

The Codex Series Ep 19: Power Plays
The Codex Series, Episode 19, is now online - 'Power Plays' is the second-to-last episode, and has some great scenes in it. Great action, nice suspense... go watch! The final scene will be posted at 7 PM Central time (that's midnight, UTC) next Friday night... they want as many people online as they can get. Go watch this episode and start building your anticipation! (Louis Wu 12:48:25 UTC)

Halo2D Physics Demo
Ajay points out that he's put together a physics demo for the physics engine he'll be using for Halo2D, a project he's been working on. A screenshot can be seen here, and the demo can be downloaded here (4.9 mb). Hold down the left mouse button to move the MC. (Louis Wu 19:51:30 UTC)

Max Shooter - Keyboard/Mouse adapter for Xbox
TeamXbox has put up a review of the Max Shooter, another Keyboard/Mouse adapter for your Xbox. They loved it, especially for Halo 2 - they felt it was the best adapter on the market at this point. If you're looking for a way to improve your accuracy (for only $20, as compared to a $30 pricetag for the SmartJoy FRAG or the MagicBox XFPS), take a look at this! (Downside - of course - is that you have to have space for a keyboard and mouse in front of the screen you play Halo on.) Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 11:44:55 UTC)

Podtacular!
Foo Mo dropped us a note about Podtacular, a Halo 2 podcast focused on gameplay. They're up to Episode 2 (the project started a week ago) - they cover strategy, map-specific tips, and the like. (Episode 2 starts out with a discussion about Major League Gaming, and how the hosts don't really know anything about the pro gaming scene - sort of odd.) Go listen! (Louis Wu 11:11:03 UTC)

Just For Ekelon.
You know he's hard up for material when Stuntmutt starts making inside clan jokes in his One One Se7en entries. Oh, wait... he's been doing that for a while. (Louis Wu 13:56:06 UTC)

SMGs For Sale
GAH! This came in a couple of nights ago - I lost it in the rush of mail. Richie's Armor has created a pair of resin-cast SMGs, for sale on eBay - starting bid is just under $150, there are still 5 days left on the auction. They look great - check 'em out! (Louis Wu 13:17:42 UTC)

Now THAT'S new.
We don't usually post trick stuff any more - High Impact Halo does such an amazing job covering that whole field that stepping in seems like trespassing - but yesterday, something pretty darn cool got posted to our forum... something that I couldn't pass up. KadeshSa gave us a movie showing a nice hog launch on Assault on the Control Room. Big deal, you say? You've seen a million of 'em? Yeah, well... how many have you seen where the launcher was SARGE? The vid's only about 6 and a half megs, available in both WMP9 and QuickTime formats - the thread starts here, download links are in this post. (Louis Wu 13:40:49 UTC)

Autographed Halo 2 poster on eBay
Conner Reeves is selling a Frankie-signed Halo 2 poster on eBay - starting bid is just under $15, and there are 4 days left in the auction. Here's your chance for a personal Mister Chief on your wall! (Louis Wu 19:13:55 UTC)

Halogen update
A couple of days ago, we mentioned that the Halogen website would be posting lots of new info over the next couple of weeks - the updates started today; there's a new website online, Flash-based, and though it's not finished yet, I guess they'll be adding to it as time goes on. (It's actually quite buggy if you're not on a PC running IE - or at least that's my experience. But hey - when one browser on one platform has 75% of the marketshare, why bother designing for anyone else?) Thanks to Logical2u, via email, and MatX, on our forum, for noticing.

War Series
Another MPRRS passer - Purebredbrute, of Halovids.com, submitted Episode 9 of the War series; the reviewers loved it. He wanted feedback, rather than hosting - so we'll point you to his Videos page; you can start at the beginning, or you can jump in where most of us did. (The series to date eats up almost 250 mb... so if you decide to watch the whole thing, be gentle and do it over time.) Episodes are all in WMP9 format, and range in size from 13 to 60 mb (Episode 9 is 20 mb). (Louis Wu 19:01:45 UTC)

More Comic-Con Pics
Skie has put together a nice collection of photos of the Comic-con Elite costume we mentioned a couple of times (here and here) - each pic has a source tag, showing where he found it. (Skie would love to commission the costume's creator for a project, but cant find a way to contact him. Skie can be reached via email.) We also got mail from cappy, who took a whole PASSEL of photos at the event - there are a half-dozen that cover the RvB guys, Halo, and the Elite; they start with this pic, then hit 'next' until you get to some apes.

Sketch talks to Major Nelson
There's a nice radio interview with SketchFactor over on Majornelson.com - he's released the podcast in both WMA format and MP3 format. The podcast is about 45 minutes long - the interview with Sketch starts around 18:30 in, and lasts about 20 minutes. It covers a variety of subjects - worth a listen! Thanks to Kevin Augspurger for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 14:59:07 UTC)

Halo2D
Ajay wrote to point out Halo2D, a 2D Halo game he's working on. (A very early screenshot can be seen here.) You can download a really early version (it's NOT done) off his website - he gives props to Halo: Resolution's sprites. (This is PC-only.) Update: Turkman points out another 2D Halo game - this one based on the sprites from Halo: Blood Covenant. More info (and a site link) can be found in his forum post. (Louis Wu 14:24:07 UTC)

MLG Editor's Corner
MLGPro.com has started up a new weekly feature, to be posted on Fridays - it's called 'Editor's Corner', and it gives Dyslexia a place to hold forth on topics of interest. This week's rant (posted on Sunday, accidentally) looks at the recent AutoUpdate - or, more accurately, at the reaction it's received on forums around the net. It's a surprising read - here's a guy who is fully immersed in the MLG culture - he provides the majority of the content on the MLG website these days - writing that people in general, and MLGers in specific, should take a step back and stop hating Bungie for dumb reasons. Whoa. (I'm POSITIVE he's gonna get a lot of flak for this one - but I agree with almost everything he says, and applaud him for saying it.) Thanks to 3Suns for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:41:01 UTC)

Flowbee... hmm. I thought it was Nair.
Today's Weekly What's Update got an awful lot of its questions from a thread started by Frankie in our forum a few hours ago. Some of them are good, some of them aren't. The liquid Mister Chief is particularly disturbing. Overall, though, it's worth a read - and don't forget to take Frankie up on his challenge! (It's about a third of the way through.) Thanks to the billions and billions of people who pointed this out while I was at dinner. (Louis Wu 00:13:39 UTC)

Halo 2 Side Story
Jon McFarlane and some friends put together a Halo 2 radio project at University - it's in MP3 format, just over 7 minutes long, weighs in at 9.7 mb, and follows some of the marines on the Athens before and during its boarding at the start of Halo 2. It's a pretty interesting concept, and sound effects are done quite nicely - give it a listen! (Louis Wu 08:47:33 UTC)
