I couldn't have said it better myself.
Captain Spark released another bundle of dialogue snippets on his website; we've added them to our Dialogue Databank, as well. Elites, Grunts, and a couple of Marine bits... (Louis Wu 23:07:49 UTC) (permalink)
Bumpmapping in Halo CE - a tutorial
Wow, nice. CrowPath has written up a really nice tutorial on bumpmapping in Halo CE - the first 3 parts of the five-part tutorial are online now, with the last two coming soon. Check it out! Thanks, MasterGrief. (Louis Wu 23:05:14 UTC) (permalink)
Destiny? More like Disaster.
Oh, man... so Frankie invited me out for drinks, he just wanted to chat, he said. I was a little suspicious when I woke up with a headache in a strange hotel room... but all my clothes were on, so I let it go. Little did I know he was recording the whole thing... I deny everything. Except the dog. (Louis Wu 20:53:18 UTC) (permalink)
Down Low-dable.
Stuntmutt anticipates more DLC comments in this evening's Weekly What's Update - check today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 15:54:13 UTC) (permalink)
That's just too much money.
Wow. Blind Sniper005 noticed a Halo 2 Kubrick toy (distributed for free to early purchasers of Halo 2) on eBay - with a starting bid of $75. OUCH! Update: Item sold early via a Buy it Now bid. All gone! Thanks, Jammerfer. (Louis Wu 15:35:42 UTC) (permalink)
Delta Squad Ep 2 Preview
We mentioned Chronic V1RU5 about a month ago, when their release of Delta Squad Episode 1 hit the net. They now have a website, and a trailer for Episode 2 (due out March 26). WMP9 format, 9.2 mb. (The money shot at the end is fun.) (Louis Wu 15:01:56 UTC) (permalink)
I don't think those are all hot...
Halo Babies continues its look back at Bungie Fundamentals - with another staple, the 'strong female character'. Too bad Leela was never actualized... (Louis Wu 14:55:31 UTC) (permalink)
Happiness is a warm gun
Hehe - less than a day after I rant about how many montage films (well, films in general, I guess) are out there, II TRU7H II sends us a link. He's hosting, and it's not a bad piece - so here you go. '15FPS' - WMP9 format, 22.6 mb. Snipes and sticks, with some great oddball melee runs. (Louis Wu 14:52:29 UTC) (permalink)
Hi-tech vs low-brow
Wednesday's Halo Humpday Challenge writeup went up on Bungie.net last night - and it looks like Bungie's long winning drought is over. Bungie took on Pioneer Electronics - and Bungie cleaned up. (Frankie was very nice about it.) Go read! (Louis Wu 14:45:10 UTC) (permalink)
Light at the end of the tunnel
Wow. The Movie Conunundrum I laid out yesterday has turned into a monster thread, with lots of decent ideas coming from lots of people. If you've offered your services as a volunteer 'watcher' - please be patient; I've recorded all names, but we won't do anything with them until the new upload system is built. So if you don't hear anything back in the next few days, it doesn't mean we've said no (or yes, for that matter) - it's just that we've not made any decisions yet. The outpouring of support, however, is heartwarming - thanks. (Louis Wu 14:41:49 UTC) (permalink)
