Halathon - Halo to Marathon TC
Eep - a few weeks ago, we got word from Strato about a website devoted to a Marathon Total Conversion - Halo to Marathon. I didn't want to flood their server, so I wrote to ask about it. Word came back that it should be fine - but the whole issue got buried under other stuff. I was reminded this morning by one of the team members - and when I went to look, I discovered that they've actually got an alpha release up right now! Swing by Forge House, and check out Halathon. (The timing is fortuitous - a huge group of new converts to Aleph One have been generated by a recent thread on the Bungie.net forums - and a news post to go along with it.) The weapons are fantastic... (Louis Wu 16:55:50 UTC) (permalink)
Happy Bungie Day!
Following a decades-long - well, maybe decade-long... okay a few years' - tradition, July 7 is once again Bungie Day, a day to bask in the glory of upcoming world domination. SketchFactor has posted a happy little Flash card from MrSmiley commemorating the occasion. Watch it, then go play some Bungie games. Like Halo, maybe. (Louis Wu 16:34:51 UTC) (permalink)
The Problem With A Space Elevator Is...
One One Se7en looks at one of the real downsides of a space elevator (a construct designed to move materials from a planet surface into space, mechanically - there has been speculation that one of these will exist in Halo). I'd recommend making sure your speakers are on... and that you're using a browser OTHER than Firefox/WinXP. (Louis Wu 13:41:15 UTC) (permalink)
ISPS: Inter-Stellar Postal Service
Halo: Resolution looks at a tried and true institution... no matter how high-tech it gets, some things never change. (Louis Wu 13:23:40 UTC) (permalink)
More Megabattle Pics
The technique pioneered by n00bles continues to inspire; J has posted a pair of screens - quite nice! Check 'em out. Update: and ANOTHER one, from n00bles again! This one is from Claustrophobia, a CE-only level. I've got to grab that... (Louis Wu 09:51:49 UTC) (permalink)
GNF - Phase One
As promised, we've put the first winning run from the Going Nowhere Fast contest online. Condorman dashed his way through the Pillar of Autumn in 6 minutes and 8 seconds in Legendary... it's amazing to watch. It's a 480x360 QuickTime movie that weighs in at a bit over 47 mb, and we're serving it via BitTorrent for the time being. Please - once you've grabbed it, leave your BT client open for a while, and share the love! (The ten runs, taken together, will weigh in at a bit over a gigabyte; we can use all the help you can give us, bandwidth-wise.) If you don't have a BitTorrent client, you can find one here.

Dual Wielding in Halo
Heh - pretty cool! Veegie and Madrox have begun work on a dual-wielding mod for Halo - there are a couple of short movies available in the Halomods thread (wmp9 format). This looks like it'll be a lot of fun! It's not clear from the thread or either movie whether this is Halo CE or Xbox. Thanks to FOrunnER for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 08:03:55 UTC) (permalink)
