Chris Bryan has recreated what looks like a few seconds from the Halo 2 announcement trailer with what one imagine might be Halo 3 quality graphics-- entirely from scratch (no extracted content). HBO has versions in QT and WMV formats. It's a small download, but quite impressive and well worth it. Thanks Louis Wu.
Joe "Dyslexia" Renaud has posted a writeup of the MLG Seattle tournament, som by IGS. Seattle was the last major qualifying MLG event before the Championship Series begins.
Thanks Louis Wu at HBO for the heads-up.
Sidney Shuman's article Five Ways to Save Video Games at Games.net holds up Halo and Halo 2 as examples of some of the worst trends in gaming; namely, unoriginal plotlines, epic ambitions, spectacle over substance, and cinema envy. Oh, and then there's "treating women like whores" which is apparently the only industry sin the Halo franchise isn't guilty of... yet.
Halo 2 trickster extraordinaire Vernon "vshields ash" Shields has spent an enormous amount of time-- literally hundreds of hours-- exploring the depths of the infinite enemies scenario at the end of the level Regret, to try and see if anything different happens. So far, he's seen quite a bit. Through object overload, he's made Regret disappear (as well as other enemies, visual effects, and bits of furniture) as well as made over a hundred of the Prophet's chairs appear out of thin air.
Heres my site that walks you through superjumps, glitchs and other things. It will tell you how to get out of a lot of maps so please give it a look...

The Houston Chronicle's Entertainment section this past weekend was has a feature on Halo champion Matt "Zyos" Leto. Thanks Louis Wu.
After about a month of hard work, my movie Gladiator Evolved is finally out. It's on the front page of HBO and ready for you to download now, in both Quicktime and WMP9! I'm going to put up the permalink too:
This week on Podtacular there is a special guest host: the one and only Major Nelson. In the show there is an interview with the Major about Xbox 360 and the Xbox Live service, along with tons of great Halo 2 strategy information.
