Mongo Movie Madness
Feel the love. Yesterday, we posted our new Movie Posting Guidelines, to (regretfully) explain why we couldn't continue to find hosting for every single movie made by fans. Today, 3 new movies find non-HBO-related homes, and two movies get MORE homes. You guys rock. Okay, to business:
- Vector40, against his better judgement, risks tomorrow's dinner to bring you 'Vehicle Fun', by Black_Jackal - it's a 3 minute, 7 mb .wmv file showing lots and lots of vehicle flipping.
- Mad Cow risks the wrath of his cable company by setting up a server on a spare PC in his home, and providing bandwidth for a movie called '16 Minutes Of Halo Fame!'. Another .wmv, this one is (surprise!) 16 minutes long, and 27 mb big - it shows a series of gameplay stunts, with an unusual soundtrack; creators Assassin X and HiTmAn 101 discuss the tricks as they're playing. It has a 'reality tv' type feel to it.
- Dan Chosich points out his fifth offering (titled, straightforwardly, Halo Movie 5, but also known as Halo Assault) - 6 minutes of Blood Gulch carnage, nicely filmed and set to music. (For what it's worth, I'd say this is the best of his work so far...) It's available in four flavors - two QT5 versions, and two WMV versions, ranging in size from 30 to 65 mb.
- That Weasel, a longtime HBO bandwidth donor, provides homes for Scottish Hunter and the new H3 - links point to their mirror pages, which reflect the new entries. (Mad Cow has ALSO provided another home for H3 - and that's listed there too.)
All of these movies will make it soon into the Movies database... along with a couple of other recent releases we've neglected to archive. To all the hosters - you guys make this community hum. To the movie makers - it's wonderful to see that Halo inspires so many to such heights, and we're really happy our recent scaling-back hasn't hurt the creative spirit. Keep up the great work!
