Artwork on a Friday
Took a little while... but I've finally found time to clear out the Miscellaneous Art queue. 20 new items, dating back about 3 weeks. Some of everything - sketches, paintings, digital, traditional, you name it. Go look. (Louis Wu 22:12:19 UTC) (permalink)
Cutscene Library - almost through Halo 2
Eep - almost forgot today's additions to the Cutscene Library - these are the last four scenes before the big finale. The end of High Charity, and the three scenes from The Great Journey. Almost there! (As always, thanks to Sniper 058 for the recordings.) (Louis Wu 20:57:09 UTC) (permalink)
Halo as an education at Sundance
According to Slashdot, the Red vs Blue crew will participate in a panel discussion on machinima at the end of January at the Sundance film festival, presenting a live demo showing how they produce RvB. Nice! Thanks, full-bore. (The 'feature in the January 2005 issue of Wired' mention has to do with Rooster Teeth's The Strangerhood series, not RvB.) (Louis Wu 20:18:58 UTC) (permalink)
Sacred Icon - as an offering
Rampancy.net continues its Halo 2 Impressions series with Sacred Icon - a discontinuity, but not a permanent one. (The two skipped levels will be covered later.) A very nice look at an effort Bungie made to address a major fan complaint about the first game... go read! (Louis Wu 17:25:50 UTC) (permalink)
All Shook Up.
Another hidden Bungie inspiration comes to light in today's One One Se7en. Or something. (Methinks this engagement business is going to Stuntmutt's head...) (Louis Wu 16:45:52 UTC) (permalink)
Friday Reading
Twelve new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section today. At least one long-unseen name, as well... (Louis Wu 16:43:32 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Trailer
Termi, of Shaolin Productions, created a Halo 2 trailer recently - cutscene footage and added text and effects. The end product is pretty slick. You can grab it, in its original DivX format, on the Shaolin Productions website (there's some description and a few screen grabs, as well). You can also get it from files2.bungie.org or mythica.org (in the original, 692x428 form factor, 35 mb) or a smaller version (460x286, 9.2 mb bungie.org or mythica.org). And finally, it's available in QuickTime, as well - same screensizes: large (31.3 mb, mythica.org | bungie.org) and small (9 mb, mythica.org | bungie.org). Whew! (Louis Wu 16:32:57 UTC) (permalink)
Rubbing Salt in the Wound...
Hehe - TeamXbox put up their own analysis of the Bungie/TXB faceoff that was this week's Halo Humpday Challenge... it's not that they're crowing, or anything, it's just that they're... well, crowing. PIctures, stats, even movies. Yeah, they're milking it... but it's fun. Go read. Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 16:27:04 UTC) (permalink)
Funnies and art at Halo Babies
There's a new comic up over at Halo Babies - the end of the Getting Started series. Poor Cortana! While you're there, there's a ton of new fan art and graphic novels in progress to see... check 'em out! (Louis Wu 16:21:20 UTC) (permalink)
