Wednesday's Wordsmithing
14 pieces for you today in the Fan Fiction section. Give 'em a read - there'll be more tomorrow! (Louis Wu 19:58:15 UTC) (permalink)
Late Update
Eep - forgot to archive the Weekly Update this week; it's now in our database. Remember... when you're looking for Paul Russel's contribution to Halo 2, this ain't a bad place to start... (Louis Wu 16:10:16 UTC) (permalink)
Rockslide Megabattle
See what spam can do? I almost missed the relevance of this thread, because of the enormous amount of spam in it. However, the initial post is actually quite interesting, and points to a simple but content-rich site devoted to one very specific mini-game you can play within Halo; a massive battle involving many more than the usual number of enemies. Check out the site, and add to the signal in the thread! (Stay away from the noise, though...) (Louis Wu 15:41:30 UTC) (permalink)

Spotcheck Speeds through PoA
The second of Spotcheck's releases, a 5:15 run through Pillar of Autumn on Heroic, is now up at files.bungie.org, in both WMP9 (15 mb) and QuickTime (15.8 mb) formats. The WMV was originally found at That Weasel Television - but folks were having real trouble getting hold of it, due to slow download speeds. The thread on our forum, again, is here.

Details emerge about Wideload's Halo-engined product
cuc found a pair of new Wideload interviews - one at 1up, a second at Homeland Fed. The most interesting parts, to me, have to do with the game itself; it's an action game, using the Halo engine... but it's not a First Person Shooter. Having buried myself in the consumer end of the Halo engine for the past several years, I'm really intrigued to see what OTHER ways this engine can be used! (Louis Wu 12:29:41 UTC) (permalink)
If you're looking for inspiration...
Spotcheck continues to post speedruns of various levels, in preparation for Going Nowhere Fast - latest pair have been PoA (on Heroic), and the Maw (on Easy). These are run on HaloPC, and obviously the difficulty levels aren't up to snuff - but he's pointing out routes to take and tricks for shaving time off. I haven't been able to watch the PoA run yet (there is still more than half an hour remaining in the download), but the Maw run was quite impressive, and I've put a pair of copies (the original WMP9, 23 mb, and a re-encoded Quicktime, 26.9 mb) up on files.bungie.org. Grab one and watch this, because the Maw in 9:15 is astounding at ANY difficulty level. Update: Uriel has mirrored both of these on a server in Germany; if you're in Europe, these might be better for you. (Thanks, Uriel!) (Louis Wu 00:01:22 UTC) (permalink)
