Took the last half of yesterday off, and came back to a mailbox FULL of mail. Let’s get to it. Sam M recreated a scene from Cowboy Bebop within the Halo engine; you can watch the Halo vid itself, or a side-by-side comparison of the original with its remake, using the YouTube links in his post. Pretty cool work!(Louis Wu 11:48:25 +0000)

Dan the Stick was the first to point out Inside Halo, Episode 9 - Sodagod pays tribute to Mythica.org, hosts an interview with DigitalPh33r (pretty funny), and shows off the five top plays of the week. And, oh, yeah, includes a Val Kilmer montage. If you don’t want to stream it from YouTube, it’s downloadable on Machinima.com, as well.(Louis Wu 10:59:18 +0000)

More Rooster Teeth goodies - Recovery One, Part III has been released for the general public - and director’s commentary (including interesting discussion about the cast of this miniseries) is available for sponsors. The series has just one more episode to go… I’d forgotten how good it was. Dark - definitely. Not your typical Rooster Teeth fare. But very nicely put together.(Louis Wu 10:56:12 +0000)

Over at Grifball.com, you’ll find both a highlight reel from the weekend of Social Matchmaking (if you haven’t been watching the highlights reels, you can access them all from that post), as well as the full 192-team league breakout for the 2008 Spring League - games get underway next Monday. See you on the court!(Louis Wu 10:51:19 +0000)
