Delta Squad Episode 1
KingFarnox and the rest of Chronic V1RU5 Studios have created the first episode of a new machinima series, Delta Squad. Episode 1 is called 'Zanzibar: Hostage Rescue'. Camera work is very nice; has the feel of wartime journalism, at least at the start. Nice timing, nice moves. Originally a 23.7 mb WMP9, I created a 22.1 mb QuickTime as well. (The WMP9 is higher-quality; if you can view it, do so.) Both are 640x480, 4:18 long. Almost a week ago, Farnox posted a low-res QT version on our forum - this one is high-res, and far more polished. We're providing two mirrors each for the WMP9 (mythica.org | bungie.org) and QuickTime (mythica.org | bungie.org). Give it a look-see! (Louis Wu 22:17:17 UTC) (permalink)
I'm Ready For My Close Up, Mr Aronsson.
Hehe. Stuntmutt took his inspiration for today's One One Se7en from today's Halo Babies - how often do you get a chance like this? Made me laugh, anyway. (Louis Wu 11:09:47 UTC) (permalink)

Halo in your Hometown
ICDedPpl is hosting a new contest - Photoshop Halo into a real-life picture, win cool schwag. (Okay, you don't need to use Photoshop - any image editor will do, including MS Paint. But the Halo part has to be there.) Go read all the details - including the $250+ in prizes - over at his website. Get cracking - submissions are due by March 4! (Louis Wu 10:28:21 UTC) (permalink)
Custom Gametypes - for the sharing
On and off, folks have talked about 'custom gametype collections' - websites where folks could get (and share) custom game settings for entertaining multiplay. Halo2Customs just opened its doors - and in addition to maintaining a reader-expandable collection of custom gametypes, it's gone one step further; it's offering Action Replay downloads of the most popular gametypes. (It remains to be seen how this works out in the long run; without some sort of real ranking system, it's conceivable that the useful gametypes get buried in a flood of 'standard slayer on Coag but with ghosts only' type submissions... but the potential is there.) Check this out - add your own, and if you have Action Replay, download a few custom gametypes to try! (Louis Wu 10:04:23 UTC) (permalink)
Bolling for a Halo Movie
New strip over at Halo Babies... Gruntsbane makes clear his opinions of at least one possibility for a director for a Halo movie. Ouch! (Louis Wu 09:24:25 UTC) (permalink)
More Music Transcriptions
Skeletor transcribed The Maw (from the Halo Soundtrack) for guitar some time ago, but forgot about it until he saw a recent news post. He's made it available in Power Tab Editor format, and included a short recording of himself playing it. Grab them in his forum post. (Louis Wu 03:37:32 UTC) (permalink)
All Things in MODeration...
Another Wednesday's gone by, another Halo Humpday Challenge - this one was against the Halo2CE team (who are NOT, as a matter of fact, affiliated with HaloMods.com, no matter what the Humpday Challenge writeup says). Bungie actually WON this challenge, 2 games to 1... but check the stats for the WHOLE story. Nice playing! (Anyone wonder if the win happened BECAUSE Frankie didn't play? Hmm...) Thanks, blackhawk, for the first heads-up. (Louis Wu 03:33:20 UTC) (permalink)
