Bantastic.
That Stuntmutt... always finding new angles for One One Se7en. Well, maybe not NEW... (Louis Wu 18:54:24 UTC) (permalink)
What the Halo?
Okay, this is just... disturbing. Thanks, Edwin Durning. Update: But wait... there's more. And more. (Louis Wu 17:59:20 UTC) (permalink)
The choices for stats just keep going up
Another stats archiving option just turned up; Altomesi found CarnageStats. One of the developers chimed in to explain the free/pay options. (Louis Wu 15:20:45 UTC) (permalink)
A mop and some blood remover
If you're not offended easily, there's a pretty funny article over at Pointless Waste of Time - it's called 'Halo 2 and the Criminal Mind', and suggests why Halo 2 might actually be good for society as a whole. (You've been warned about the offensiveness - remember that.) Thanks, Bakudai. (Louis Wu 15:08:37 UTC) (permalink)
The Shape of Things to Come?
retsamolah has been experimenting a bit... The movie listed in this forum post is pretty short, but gives you an idea of what's possible. Personally... I think it looks pretty dang cool. (Louis Wu 12:03:51 UTC) (permalink)
Cracking the Egg
There's been quite a bit of talk on our forum recently about the IWHBYD skull - it was used to discover a cool little easter egg in Outskirts a couple of days ago. One of the problems with this skull is that the triggers to get it aren't completely known; some things seem to work... sometimes. And apparently, it's quite easy to go through a lot of trouble to get it... but lose it immediately. Lt. Tuma sent us a movie a couple of weeks ago; I didn't think we'd be able to host it (for a lot of reasons), but things have come together to make this possible. Quality is not the best - but that's because it's rather long, and he wanted to keep the file a reasonable size. Thanks to GloryFish, we're able to host this right now; otherwise, we'd have had to wait until after Tuesday, when our bandwidth reset. The video is 12 and a half minutes long, and contains running (text) commentary. It was originally submitted as a WMP9 file (25 mb). I re-encoded it in QuickTime, but because of the severe compression it started with, there was further degradation in the QT, and I wasn't able to get it any smaller than 29.6 mb. (It's still watchable at that size.) Please don't mind the spelling; it's the content that's important, not the presentation. Along with the movie, Lt. Tuma submitted a Word doc (11k, zipped), detailing some hints and tricks to help you on your quest. (This is also available as a straight-up html document.) If you've wanted to play with this egg, but didn't think you were up to the fight (it's an AWFUL lot of Spec-Ops Elites, on Legendary), this might help! (Louis Wu 03:28:48 UTC) (permalink)
