Out of Hang 'em High
Ragnarocker found a new trick - getting out of Hang 'em High. It's not very long - under 10 seconds - but it's available in both MASSIVE 1280x1024 format (2.1 mb) and a more reasonable 640x512 (1.1 mb). Good times! (Louis Wu 17:00:52 UTC) (permalink)
Requiem for a Pistol
A couple of white boys put together a Halo rap - I went in with preconceptions, prepared to mock... but was suitably amused by the time it ended. Really nicely done. MP3, 3.6 mb, lyrics included. (If the site's bandwidth doesn't hold out, we're happy to mirror this whole page.) MPAA warning - explicit lyrics. Thanks to Mintz08 for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:51:00 UTC) (permalink)
Legendary
blackouTT and others from clan Tricking IT have begun work on Legendary, a new machinima - 4 Spartans against the universe. Halomachinima.com is hosting a WMP9 and a DivX version of the trailer (a bit over 20 mb, for either version) - production quality is somewhat inconsistent, but hopefully that will be cleared up before they're done. They're shooting for a mid-April release. (Louis Wu 11:42:30 UTC) (permalink)
Weekly Whaaa?
I hesitate to even post this link, given that it's no longer April 1, and people have shown that no matter WHAT gets put on the internet, SOMEONE will believe it... but it was pretty funny, so I'm posting it. Yesterday, as its final April Fool's joke of the year, Bungie put up a great Weekly What's Update, filled with questions that everyone has been asking, but answers that nobody expected. And while I'm here... thanks to the many, many, MANY people who wrote in to tell us that many of the stories we posted yesterday were bogus - yeah, we know. That's what April Fool's is all about. (The one story that might need an actual update is the screenshot post from cookedGamers - apparently, those ARE UT2006 shots, as rapture suggested (I thought mockingly) at the bottom of his news post. They just LOOK like Halo shots. I can't begin to list all the people who wrote to us about this - but thanks, all of you.) (Louis Wu 11:34:48 UTC) (permalink)
