The Bungie Factor - now on the web
Back in June, The Discovery Channel aired a special called 'The X Factor' (we posted a press release for it on June 16). Since then, it's aired a number of times (and, indeed, will air again, on Discovery Times, this morning, at 2 am, and again tomorrow, Christmas Day, at 10 am and 6 pm) - but a web version has been elusive... until now. (Dan Chosich created a beautiful one when it first aired, but yanked it because of legal concerns, and since then, we've had some difficulty contacting the legal department of the Discovery Channel.) Thanks to the great help of Jim McQuillan, the filmmaker behind the special itself, we can finally bring you a hi-res, gorgeous version of the Bungie portion of this special. It's a 6 minute clip, in QuickTime format, with a DV-quality screensize of 720x480, and a filesize of about 92 mb. We currently have mirrors up on Mythica.org and files.bungie.org, and Two Degrees has once again seeded their P2P network, for those looking for the fastest downloads. For people who might be slightly more bandwidth-challenged, we've also created a 360x240 version that weighs in at just over 27 mb, which is also mirrored at Mythica and files, and has a Two Degrees peer-to-peer seed. We're happily adding any mirrors we can find, so if you've got the bandwidth, grab a copy, post it, and send us a link; we'll add it to the Bungie Factor Mirror List. Again - this gives behind-the-scenes info on the making of Halo, and the ideas behind Halo 2... definitely worth a viewing by any Halo fan. Update: Rockin'; our first mirror is up already. Thanks to That Weasel! (Link is on the Mirror page.) (Louis Wu 00:11:50 UTC)
