Lots o' mirrors
Woohoo! Mirrors, mirrors, everywhere! Another Commercial mirror, courtesy of Bounty, at Battleground: Halo:
And three mirrors for the Launch party footage:
- Fileplanet (thanks again, Bounty!)
- Halo's Universe (thanks, genohunter!)
- Kbjlake's mirror (thanks, Kbjlake!)
That should hold most of you... (Louis Wu 20:23:37 UTC) (permalink)
Party footage available
Thanks greatly to Mavruss, who has sent in 8 minutes of video footage from the Launch party - ambience, food, and gameplay. It's in WMV format, and it's 5.6 MB, zipped, and we'd love mirrors for it. (Please - nobody complain about the format; the original upload was a 650 MB .avi that wasn't readable by anything I have here. This is MUCH more reasonable, and its small size means we can distribute it from our mac.com space. Narration is done by Russell's wife Sara - brownie points to anyone who can spot the two of them in the video. (Did we mention we need mirrors?) (Louis Wu 18:29:15 UTC) (permalink)
Halo SETI Team 7 day stats posted
Dink!... The Halo SETI Marines, despite the influx of two new team members (and an increase in crunching from existing members), are left in the dust by The Athlonmb.com Seti Team. Ouch! They fall one place, to 53rd, in the Battle of the Teams. Are you doing YOUR part? Check the 7 day stats page to see. (Louis Wu 16:43:19 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Commercial mirror
Kbjlake writes to say that the Halo commercial (mpeg format) has been mirrored on his webspace - grab it there if you're having trouble with our link! (Thanks, Kbjlake!) (Louis Wu 15:39:00 UTC) (permalink)
Halo T-shirt pics
There are more in the works, we hear... but the first screenshots sent to us of the Launch Party have been uploaded - a few shots showing the Halo T-shirt Bungie was selling at the event. Take a look... this'll be available to the public as soon as the Bungie Store goes live again! (Louis Wu 15:36:43 UTC) (permalink)
Launch Party coverage everywhere
Ryan 'TheMystic' Lord, of Invisible Dream, writes to point out a large article on the Halo launch party - descriptions, interviews with partygoers, and 35 photos - including some fun shots of Bungie employees, like this one, showing Matt's new "Unabombers R Us" beard... Check it out! (For more Launch Party goodness, check out the most recent submission to our coverage page - Art Sangurai, of the Brotherhood of BoB, wrote a blow-by-blow account of the evening - you're almost there!) (Louis Wu 14:30:23 UTC) (permalink)
Commercial now in MPEG format
Kayas has kindly converted the Halo commercial (first available in Real format, then this evening in .asf) to MPEG format - we've placed a copy on our overflow space at mac.com. (Anyone who wants to mirror this - let us know as soon as possible!) In addition to being in a much friendlier format, it's now bumped up to 320x240. Take a look! (Louis Wu 01:31:17 UTC) (permalink)
Halo commercial, downloadable
TeamXbox has put up the first four Xbox gameplay commercials (including Halo, of course), in ASF format (downloadable). Thanks to Forrest Wickman for the first heads-up! (Louis Wu 00:40:58 UTC) (permalink)
