How big is your hard drive?
In our Movies database, there are over 100 films listed. Almost 70 of them are fan-created... but only a handful of those truly stand out as groundbreakers; BungieLove, Warthog Jump, A**hole, a few others. Well, welcome the next entrant to that elite class: The Matrix (Halo Remix). Bill Paetzke has meticulously recreated the opening scene from the movie 'The Matrix'... and he's done it with s7yle. There are three versions:
- a HUGE 120 mb version shows you the action at 720x480 - but at present there are only a pair of mirrors for it. (There will hopefully be a few more showing up today - but as of right now, this is it.)
- A midrange, 42 mb version; it's 360x240, but pretty high quality. The only source for this is Bill's server at the moment.
- A budget, 20 mb version, also 360x240. This is quite watchable... and at the moment has several mirrors (with more coming). For those not sitting on a very large pipe, this is the recommended version.
All of these (and any new mirrors people want to tell us about) can be found on the Matrix Mirror page. And if that wasn't enough for one day's movie quota... Dan Chosich has announced that his sixth Halo vid, Reminisance, is up for grabs for today only. It's in .WMV format, and it's 86 megs large... and I hope that as soon as the bandwidth crunch caused by The Matrix dies down, we can put a copy up at mythica.org (because it's a masterpiece of editing). Feast or famine, folks! (Louis Wu 17:07:01 UTC)
