Shooting Str8 (Rippin)
Dyslexia continues his series of Halo pro interviews with a chat with Str8 Rippin, put together at MLG St. Louis. Good read! Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 23:09:13 UTC) (permalink)
2old2type Ep 5
2old2play has put up episode 5 of their podcast, 2old2type - site discussion, tournament discussion, lots of cheating stuff. 31 mb, just over an hour. Go listen! (Louis Wu 20:09:51 UTC) (permalink)
Actual Speed.
It might be good for sniping, but... today's One One Se7en shows the dangers of insensitivity. (Louis Wu 18:58:36 UTC) (permalink)
Peripheral City Comes to Life
Interesting idea... Andrew Matlock has resurrected his Coté D'Azur design for HaloCE - you can see an evolution of pictures (including current versions) in this Gearbox forum thread. Thanks, MasterGrief. (Louis Wu 18:18:37 UTC) (permalink)
Monday's Words
Nine new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section this Monday - the writers never sleep! (Louis Wu 18:14:26 UTC) (permalink)
Red vs Blue Soundboard
HitManBobster pointed out a Red vs Blue Soundboard at AlbinoBlackSheep - clips from the various characters in the series, set up in Flash. Sound quality is lacking, but the organization is nice. (Louis Wu 17:50:15 UTC) (permalink)
XBS reviews MMP
Xbox Solution has reviewed the Multiplayer Map Pack - they liked it quite a bit. Go see their comments! Update: another review today - this one from Globe and Mail (a Canadian newspaper). Interesting - I guess folks needed a week or two to play... (Louis Wu 17:48:27 UTC) (permalink)
This Spartan Life
A few days ago, we got email from Matt Cheeser, alerting us to 'This Spartan Life' - a pretty unique concept; Damian Lacedaemion is a talk show host who uses Halo as a set. His guests talk about a lot of things - games, yes, but plenty of other things. It's machinima... mixed with talk show television. It's fun. There are five episodes so far. (They got a pretty good review on G4's Attack of the Show - we've taken this long to mention them because we wanted to help with bandwidth first, and setting up took a little while.) Go watch!

Prometheus - alive and kicking
Aztec pointed out a new update from the HaloDev team about Prometheus, the all-in-one model manipulation tool that a series of prominent Halo modders (the good kind, not the kind that are cheating against you on Warlock) have been building. Lots of disasters, lots of under-the-hood changes, not a lot to actually SEE; this one is basically to let you know they haven't given up. (Louis Wu 12:30:31 UTC) (permalink)
More on the Halo/Halo 2 divide
kons0uL wrote a followup to his blog rant about cheaters and matchmaking that we mentioned yesterday - this one clarifies his position about his expectations, and about where he got them from. Go read! (Louis Wu 12:24:01 UTC) (permalink)
Paintball, Halo Style
Occasionally, the subject of paintball guns comes up in our forum, and the Tippman Model 98 is held up as a classic. True Dark 1ES found a company called Engler Custom Paintball Guns that has taken this gun and modified it to look like something much more familiar to Halo fans. The page is broken, so actually ordering it might be difficult... but it's the last gun on the page. Scroll down to the bottom for a look - and if the price isn't totally out of range for you, you could try email; hit the 'BACK' link at the top of the page, then the 'Contact Us' link at the top of the resulting page. Update: looks like it was mentioned before - this was the earliest reference I could find. I must say, though, the new pics do it far more justice. Update, late 2008: Engler has completely changed its website; the original page we discussed in this post is still archived on the Wayback Machine, but in case the pictures eventually die, we've grabbed local copies (one | two).
