Silent Cartographer - in under 5 minutes.
Vern Shields put together a pretty nice speed run for Silent Cartographer. Yes, it's on Easy... but there are some pretty cool aspects to it. First, he completed the entire level in 4:43, measured from starting to ending checkpoints. Second, as he leaves the underground area, he passes not one, but TWO gold elites. Third, at the top of the last ramp, there's a nice example of mass scripted death - all the baddies simply fall dead on the ground as he reaches them. Fourth - the ending cutscene has a surprise in it... watch it all the way through. And fifth... well, he picked a piece of music that meshes amazingly well with the action. Nicely done all around. There are other nuggets worth seeing... grab the film at Mythica. (It should also be on the Psyjnir Complex Hotline server sometime later tonight.) It's in QuickTime format, and weighs in at 23.1 mb. The Legendary Speed Runners have something to shoot for! (Louis Wu 21:42:20 UTC) (permalink)
Halo PC makes E3 roundup
Somehow we missed it... but Gamespy has been building its 'Top 25 Games of E3' list... and Halo PC made it in at #24. Now... I played a few of the other games listed (the top 10 aren't up yet), and I'm not sure at all how they did the math... but hey, they can say anything they want, right? Tanks to Battleground: Halo ("Best Halo site on the 'net", according to Gamespy) for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 20:42:43 UTC) (permalink)
Hacked.
DOH! I've got to set up some sort of email notification system to remind me about this puppy... but the next episode of One One Se7en is online (it's yesterday's, actually). I gotta say... these bring a smile to my face. If they do the same to you, drop Stuntmutt some mail. (Louis Wu 13:23:58 UTC) (permalink)
IGN Halo 2 preview - now free
ragereset points out that the IGN Insider article we mentioned a couple of days ago is now open to the general public. It's definitely worth a read - there's some interesting content that hasn't been posted anywhere else, and now you don't have to pay to see it. (Louis Wu 08:03:44 UTC) (permalink)
