Halorama Redux
About a year and a half ago, BOLL started creating panoramic views of Halo, using custom-built software and some video-captured footage. He's back... with his first set of Halo 2 Panoramas. At this point, he's using a modded controller to make his life easier, and he's put together a nice little flash interface for viewing the panoramas. We'll add more images as he submits them. (If you don't have Javascript enabled, or Flash installed, you can simply click on the thumbnails to see full-sized versions of the images with no fancy interface.) Right now there are 4 multiplayer strips, and 6 single-player ones (from 3 levels). The Delta Halo strips are GORGEOUS! (Louis Wu 22:24:15 UTC) (permalink)
The Unabomber... with crayons.
Red Vs Blue has posted a couple of Sponsor-only videos; you can't download them unless you're a sponsor (though you CAN comment on them - beauty of the new website). You'll find them linked off the Videos page. There's the intro video to the Penny Arcade Expo last summer, and a test vid in which part of Episode 35 has been refilmed using the Halo 2 engine. Fun stuff! Ross Mills pointed this out. (Louis Wu 21:35:33 UTC) (permalink)
Out in the Cold
Red Leader points out that the newest episode of his 'The Life' comic centers around Halo 2. Sometimes, it's not how strong you are... it's your staying power. (Louis Wu 21:13:28 UTC) (permalink)
Pathways Redux
Normally, we keep Bungie-related news that's not Halo-based on its own subsection of Bungie.org... but I'm not sure where Hamish is right now, so I don't know when this news will make it onto the front page of the PiD section. Several days ago, Robin Osborne alerted us to Pathways Redux, a (then) upcoming mod for Doom 3 that reproduces Pathways into Darkness. By this time, it's actually been released - it's a 13 mb download. I haven't seen it in action yet - I don't have a copy of Doom 3 - but the readme suggests that the author, Brendon Chung, cared an awful lot about this project - so the chances are good that it's pretty faithful to the original. (The two screenshots on the site are pretty impressive!) If you've got a copy of Doom 3, give this mod a try - see what 10-year-old Bungie programming can inspire! (Louis Wu 15:04:57 UTC) (permalink)
