Shishka's gonna be mad.
mnemesis wrote yesterday to point out a small (but powerful) update on the Halo Story Page - the downtime this morning kept it from being posted before now. Go read... but be warned, the theory it discusses is LONG. (Louis Wu 19:29:22 UTC) (permalink)
Wun Dum Guy.
You may have noticed that we were hard to reach this morning - the datacenter that HBO is housed in was having some connectivity problems. They seem to be cleared up now, so I can FINALLY add today's One One Se7en... though it's possible that puns this bad should be hidden forever. You decide. (Louis Wu 18:52:46 UTC) (permalink)
What REALLY Happened.
focused7 points out a comic at Blackartstudios showing the behind-the-scenes action underlying last week's Bungie Update. (That reminds me, I've forgotten to add that update to our Archive... rectified.) (Louis Wu 18:49:57 UTC) (permalink)
And all with one figure. Wow.
Plasmanator continues the Action Figure Megabattle series started yesterday by Mintz08 - there was a funny one last night, and a pretty dang impressive one today. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 18:30:44 UTC) (permalink)
The FTC CTF School
A couple of months ago, we mentioned a contest being run by Fire Team Charlie, over at Xboxottawa... beat them in a 2v2 match on XBC, win cool schwag. They've put up one of their first games, edited in a really humorous manner... worth watching, if you want to enter, or just if you want to watch a couple of clan guys get their butts kicked at CTF. It's 24 minutes long, and 150 mb large, so it's for members only... but hey, it's only $10 to become a member! Thanks to vshields ash for pointing it out. (Louis Wu 18:15:56 UTC) (permalink)
Christine
Ducain found a bizarre little glitch last night - bypassed some standard loading points, and found... a killer hog? (WMP9 format, 3.4 mb.) (Louis Wu 18:14:39 UTC) (permalink)
Shakeycam vid from the Leipzig show floor
Marc, at Halo Universe, points out a movie they're hosting - 10.6 mb, AVI format) recorded via shakeycam at the Games Convention in Leipzig (where Halo 2 is available to be played by the masses). Screen glare is a bit of a problem... but Halo 2 is Halo 2, right? Check it out! Update: full-bore points out a BitTorrent link for the same footage. (Louis Wu 14:09:28 UTC) (permalink)
Oh, if Boeing had moved...
There's a new interview with Alex Seropian, of Wideload Games, up over at GamersInfo.net; this one, more than most, focuses on Alex's experience with Bungie and Halo. Answers are a bit tongue-in-cheek - nice to see! Thanks to Thomas Bottrill for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 14:05:55 UTC) (permalink)
I get the planet!
Baldev Patel sent in a link to a picture of a Halo cake, hosted by 343GS. Looks yummy! (Louis Wu 14:01:09 UTC) (permalink)
Supermega
A while ago, pushbak created a movie called Supermega - it's gameplay set to music, but the gameplay is a lot of fun to watch (the guy's pretty good with a sniper rifle). We were hosting GNF videos when he submitted it, and he's been patiently waiting - sorry for the delay. It's QuickTime format, 480x360, 4:36 long, and 27.3 mb big. We've put up copies on both Mythica.org and files.bungie.org. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 13:37:51 UTC) (permalink)
Cartographically Challenged
Halo Babies has a new comic up - in which Baby MC is a little... lost. If you're interested in meeting these guys, they're gonna be at MLG's Downpour event in Seattle this weekend, selling Halo Babies T-Shirts - details can be found in this news post. (Louis Wu 12:58:51 UTC) (permalink)
