QT Hoedown For folks who have trouble with Windows Media files (you know who you are), Bryan Bayley has kindly submitted a QuickTime version of the Hoedown video. (Any encoding problems can be blamed on me... I made it a bit smaller than its original 40 megs.) You'll find the 14.3 mb file at mythica.org. Hopefully, it won't take me weeks to get this into the Movie database... Update: Both versions of this movie are mirrored on Pez's ftp server. Thanks, Pez! (Louis Wu 22:02:25 UTC) (permalink)
Search that site! For all the folks who've complained over the last year or so about how difficult it is to find information on the Halo Story site... it now has a basic search function. Works a lot like the search function on the main news page. (Funny, that.) Hopefully, it'll ease your pain. Please don't use it to abuse mnemesis and Finn... they're twitchy enough as it is.

To warn you - Lunar 4 Campaigns is rather large. (Louis Wu 15:54:22 UTC) (permalink)
Look! Up in the Road! A Head! ThetaDot sent in a rendering of the MC's helmet. He never finished the rest of the body (or, indeed, the helmet), but what's there is pretty nice! Check it out in our Miscellaneous Art section. (Louis Wu 10:25:53 UTC) (permalink)
The State(s) of the Seventh Column A couple of weeks ago, we mentioned an effort to list the top 50 Seventh Column chapters (one per state) in the US. A couple of days ago, a story went up on Bungie.net that the effort had been finished... and now emildux has posted some more details to our forum. Beyond the top 50 chapters, there are all sorts of stats... see where you fit! (Louis Wu 10:09:05 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Hoedown Bryan and Ross have created another gameplay movie - it's in the vein of 'Rocket Dance', and it's great. (These guys never heard of HBO before they finished the movie...) It's 3:50 long, 10.6 mb big, and in .wmv format (yeah, yeah). You can find a copy on their own server, or a mirrored copy on mythica.org. If you guys find it as fun as I do, we'll probably need more mirrors. (I wouldn't mind a hi-res QuickTime version, either, but that's just me...) Watch this, and see why you can STILL make a gameplay movie based in Blood Gulch and not have it be the same old thing! (Louis Wu 09:57:30 UTC) (permalink)
But what about the Story? Hefty update for the Halo Story page this evening... and more exciting, it will soon be sporting a search function! For now, check out the latest speculation on all things Halo, and add your own two bits! (Louis Wu 09:39:04 UTC) (permalink)
