Yet Another Demented Puppy
Katana writes on demented puppy dot com that he's going to be covering Halo Custom Edition for that site.
Halo, as first released on the Xbox gaming console.
Death by intelligence.
The Halo Movie Conundrum
Over at HBO, Louis Wu has put up a long piece on how the Halo movie scene has expanded into something much too large to handle. He's way too nice to say it, but the gist of it is this: you're burying him under a mountain of crap, and he's got a bit of advice that he hopes just might improve the quality of the average released Halo movie:
So That's Why Babies Smile
*_mc* mrsmiley at Halo Babies writes that he and Gruntsbane put together five new Halo Babies emoticons they said "no Halo forum should be without." We interpreted that as a direct order and installed them. For the sake of convenience, the codes needed to use these at R.net are the same as those at Halo Babies.
Junkyard Spotlights Ross Mills
The Junkyard has broken its three-month Halo spotlight silence with a new piece on Ross "Oz" Mills; check it out. Thanks Mhaddy. Also, the Junkyard's opinion piece on the Xbox power cord replacement program by Jake "Evergreen98" Billo is also worth looking at, if you haven't already.

Much Ado About Poo... And Other Things
"Colours out of Space"
Reading through the Wikipedia, I realized that a portion of this short story by Lovecraft resembles the Flood very well. Here it is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colours_out_of_Space
Animals in the area (of the meteorite crash) were also affected, their bodies, behavior and activity showing hints of alteration, such as leaping distances well above their normal capability, malformed body proportions and appearances, and footprints in the snow of unnatural configuration.
Not having read the story, I'm not sure just why things happened that way.
What Would Daddy Think?
I guess this news story pretty much invalidates the UNSC's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. I suppose Jacob is spinning in his grave... and that's a disturbing image given what he looked like last time we saw him.
Contest Video
I can't remember if it was Halo or Half-Life the video was made for, but let me give you a brief description to compare with your reply.
It was created as a result of a contest.
It was more of a series than a single video.
It was humorous and a bit tongue-in-cheek, many of the comments and situations were an aside to Half-life/Halo players/fans.
One situation that comes to mind from an episode in the series is when a "new guy" joined the "Red Team" and the new guy was arguing with one of the others about the color of his armor.
Once More Into The Maw
Skeletor posted a guitar tab in Power Tab Editor format, as well as a recording, of The Maw from the Halo soundtrack in the HBO forum the other day, and was kind enough to let us add the file to our Sheet Music collection here at Rampancy.
One Boll Is More Than Enough
Halo Babies today comments on who we definitely don't want directing a Halo movie (if there is one). Thanks mrsmiley.
The Maw Sheet Music/Guitar Tab and Recording
I made a transcription of The Maw (from the Halo Soundtrack) for the guitar a while back. I was reminded of it when I saw BitMap's sheet music for Remembrance. Here is a .zip including the transcription in Power Tab Editor format (very useful program, download it here) and a short recording of me playing it.

It's February 9 And I Feel Fine
February 9 has now arrived, and unless you count the resumption of Bungie.net stats tracking, or the Top Story at Bungie.net about RSS and Halo.Defas.Org, then I think it's safe to say that nothing terribly exciting has happened yet, nor is it likely to.
There are those who said something would happen today. What are they to say now?
Combo Updater Rescues Mac Halo
Over at MacFixIt, Charlie reports that his copy of Halo for the Mac wouldn't run ever since he installed Security Update 2005-001, but that reinstalling the 10.3.7 Combo Updater resolved the situation.
