Hang 'em High - from scratch
Ragnarock sent us a couple of pictures of a 3dsmax version of Hang 'em High he built for a class last year. They look amazing. (He was planning on using the model in a cg movie... but got busy.) Take a look at these shots; they're great! (Louis Wu 20:26:01 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Dogtags, Redux
Way back when, when the Xbox was new in Japan, you could get a set of promotional dogtags in a cool pencil case by pre-ordering Halo. Over the years, these tags have shown up on eBay from time to time; there's another set there now. The writeup says "LAST ONE OR YOU WILL NEVER GET IT" - but I'm not sure what this means, there will ALWAYS be people wanting to sell theirs. In any case, if you're interested, the auction is on for another 5 days or so. There are no bids yet, but the Buy It Now price is $50 (a tad steep, as these things go). Thanks to Kyle Finlan for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 19:59:10 UTC) (permalink)
That'll Be Drool All Over My Computer Then...
One One Se7en plays with foreshadowing. It's as subtle as the rest of One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 17:01:25 UTC) (permalink)
That Trick's Old Hat
Halo: Resolution looks at trickster Spartans... but I gotta say, they're gonna need a lot more than that to succeed. (Louis Wu 16:59:29 UTC) (permalink)
Aquaduct 2 - closer still
Hehe - PfhorSlayer tempts the Macheads in the audience with screenshots of Aquaduct 2 - even though you can't actually download the app yet. Looks like a dream... I might even have to try XboxConnect again. :) (Louis Wu 16:48:06 UTC) (permalink)
Lorraine McLees shares secrets of creation
Whoa - take the night off, miss some pretty big stuff. SketchFactor interviewed Lorraine McLees over at Bungie.net - and if the timestamp is to be believed, it happened on MONDAY NIGHT! And it wasn't until yesterday that anybody on our forum noticed this. (Thanks, Scimitarex.) It's a pretty specific interview; Lorraine discusses what's involved in creating Cover/Box art. As someone who's never been on the inside of this industry, it's fascinating to hear the process of how an image is created; what elements are needed, and what they should convey. Go read it. It's fun. (Louis Wu 16:41:04 UTC) (permalink)
Peter Tamte talks about Piracy
A couple of days ago, the Mac version of Halo was updated to 1.03, allowing Mac users to play with their PC brethren. The update also added a copy-protection scheme that required that the CD be in the machine in order to play Halo - a major change from the previous version. This change has caused quite a stir in the Mac community... with most people expressing displeasure. Yesterday, Inside Mac Games interviewed Peter Tamte, head of MacSoft, about why this change was made. If you're a disgruntled Mac user... go read this. I was amazed by this snippet:
[...] we have physically tracked more units of Halo being stolen on the Internet than have been sold through stores so far.
Ouch! (Louis Wu 15:42:34 UTC) (permalink)
