The sweet smell of green - er, white
MLG has put up an article showing the winners from last weekend's National Championships - lots o' cash! Check it out. Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 23:26:26 UTC) (permalink)
Drive-Thru
Dang, meant to get to this yesterday, forgot. Omg A Fish submitted 'Drive-Thru', a Tenacious D skit set to Halo, to the MPRRS - and it would have passed, except for one reviewer (who didn't even really seem to dislike it, but gave it a dismal score anyway). It's a tiny film (just over 6 mb), and pretty funny, and Omg A Fish got hosting for the WMP9 version at a few different places... so I'm putting up a QuickTime version for those who need/want it. (If you swing by the Halo2Forum.com thread for this movie, you'll find a ton of people who downgrade it because 'it sounds really close to Jack Black'. It is Jack Black; the soundtrack is right off the album. Only the visuals are Halo-related.) (Louis Wu 20:51:22 UTC) (permalink)
Grunt and Glide
Se7en One let us know about a small animation he created - a Grunt, and one of the Quadwings from Delta Halo. QuickTime format, 22 mb. Check it out! (Louis Wu 20:37:32 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 tourney, online, in England
Pro-G (a british gaming site) is hosting a Halo 2 Slayer tournament on Xbox Live on March 18-19; prizes consist of Xbox and Xbox360 titles. More info can be found on this page. (Louis Wu 19:58:06 UTC) (permalink)
Marine Armor for Auction
Ross Mills found a UNSC Marine armor set for sale on eBay(uk). It's not completely finished - but a bunch of it is. (I'm wondering what happened to the model's arm...) Four days left, nobody's bid yet. (Louis Wu 15:43:03 UTC) (permalink)
Halo used in a study on stupid people
sonik son sent us a link that's pretty darned tangential to Halo... but Halo IS involved, so here you go. Over at MarginalRevolution.com, there's a blog entry about a study that compared higher prices with free shipping vs lower prices with expensive shipping to see which attracted buyers faster. (Turns out we're stupid, and will pay $5 + $6 shipping more quickly than we'll pay $10 + $0 shipping.) Halo was one of the items used in the eBay sellathon. (See? I told you it was tangential.)

H2O Federation Kicks Off
Swing by the website of the Professional Gamers League of America to read about the new H2O Federation. Instead of a series of (relatively) unrelated tournaments, they're setting up a league, similar to the NFL, where teams will compete all season long. It was only a matter of time...

Rating system online at halomovies.org
Over at Halomovies.org, they've set up a rating system; all movies they host can be rated by viewers. If you're interested in only viewing movies others thought were great... this is your chance! Check it out. (Louis Wu 14:54:29 UTC) (permalink)
