Break Point has put up a new movie called '0ddb@lls 0wn!1!!' at BP Halo. It's 2 minutes long, in WMP9 format, and available in two resolutions (which weigh in at 7 and 2.1 mb, respectively). It involves some bizarre model swapping. Read his forum post for details (and to leave feedback). (Louis Wu 15:53:20 UTC) (permalink)

It's aimed at folks who've never played before. It's 47 mb, in WMP9 format, with a screensize of 512x384. You can find it on CPL's home page at the moment. (Louis Wu 14:45:51 UTC) (permalink)
