I'd love to see him on a mammoth...
Blackstar sent in a new Calvin and Halo for your viewing pleasure - and he brings up a very good point. I've wondered myself... (Louis Wu 19:41:59 UTC) (permalink)
How to hold a title
There's a blow-by-blow writeup of the StK-x6 championship match at the MLG event in Houston last weekend over at the MLGPro.com website. Interesting read! Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 19:28:33 UTC) (permalink)
How to Witness Using Halo 2
Wow... now I've seen everything. There's an article in the Christian Post about using Halo 2 to get the word out about Christianity.
"Jesus came to this planet to save the planet from a group much worse than the Covenant (the aliens) and from a fate much worse than physical death."
... I don't know what to say. (Louis Wu 18:51:29 UTC) (permalink)
The Return of Wonderboy
Well, just the song, actually. Back in July, 2003, Eric Vogt set Halo gameplay to Tenacious D's Wonderboy, a wonderfully overmelodramatic ballad about Wonderboy and Nastyman. (A working link to that movie can be found in our movies section.) Today, markhamx2 posted a note on our forum about a new vid, filmed in Halo 2 on Coagulation this time, set to the same song. They did a great job with it - we've put up local mirrors (19.6 mb, mythica.org | bungie.org) for the existing WMP9, so you don't have to use that Rapidshare link, and re-encoded it to QuickTime, as well (14.6 mb, bungie.org | mythica.org) for those who can't use Windows Media Player. Always enjoyable to see Halo action wedded to funny songs! (Louis Wu 16:31:50 UTC) (permalink)
Deep Conspiratorial Nanobots
Jillybean took time out from pub-crawling to rummage through the Halo Story Page mailbag - go read what she found. (Louis Wu 15:28:28 UTC) (permalink)
Query Spree Updated
Query Spree, a polished and feature-rich Halo Stats aggregator, got an update last night - tons of new features. Go read about it, and grab a copy to keep track of your winnings! Thanks, MrMischief66. (Louis Wu 14:10:12 UTC) (permalink)
Big Honkin' Movie Mirrors
That Weasel writes to point out that mirrors for several really large movies have been added to the That Weasel Television HBO Mirror - you can find downloadable versions of Platoon Remix (WMP9 and QT), Platoon 2 (WMP9 and QT), and Say Good Night (QT). If BitTorrent doesn't do it for you - here's a way to grab these files via http! Thanks, TW. Update: Nirvana has added both the original QuickTime and a re-encoded 'lo-fi' MPEG of Say Good Night to his Halo Vids site. (Links don't seem to be on the main page yet - grab 'em from his forum post.) More mirrors! (Louis Wu 14:08:30 UTC) (permalink)
Ambush
Episode 6 of The Codex Series was posted last night - and wow, has the action heated up. This one has an original score and some great shot compositing. Overall, a fantastic battle sequence - two, actually. The Covenant shoot about as well as Imperial Stormtroopers... but that model worked really well for Lucas, so I say go for it! This series is shaping up to be one of the new stars in the Halo machinima firmament. Looking forward to Episode 7! (They've also got desktops available for download.)

They must have been pounding nails...
Yesterday's Halo Humpday Challenge went off against Penny Arcade, as expected... and ouch, what a hammering the poor PA guys took! Three sets, same map, same rules... mostly the same outcome. Go read Frankie talk some mean trash. I'm expecting retribution - in the form of a funny comic - sometime in the not-too-distant future. (And yes, once again, the results were known long before the writeup went live, thanks to Bungie's supercool stats setup - thanks, GhaleonEB.) (Louis Wu 13:57:59 UTC) (permalink)
