A Day of Victory... Chaaaaaaarge
Red vs Blue episode 56, 'Calm Before The Storm', has been posted for sponsors. (This is also a notice to the general public that the free versions will be available in about 2 days - but that won't stop the flood of email telling us that once they go up...) It's all about Lopez and Andy in this this one... though the angry Tooth Fairy had me rolling, and Donut rocked. Thanks to zugy for noticing. (Louis Wu 12:00:27 UTC) (permalink)
Enemy At The Gates
I meant to get to some of these yesterday - but then I was gone for most of yesterday. The MPRRS has approved a new slew of movies - first off the blocks is a film called 'Enemy at the Gates', a Halo 2 version of the big-screen film of the same name. This one was put together by MotleyCrusader, and has some nice timing and filming. There are some funky volume shifts, so be careful - but overall, a great piece. It's available in WMP9 format (34.2 mb) or QuickTime format (33.3 mb). Enjoy - more films coming soon. (Louis Wu 11:53:22 UTC) (permalink)
Links Page Polished
Thanks a million to HymnToNinkasi, of the PraetoriaGuard - she went through our Links page, site by site, and culled the chaff, the sites that were no longer in existence. w00t! To thank her, you should go visit their website, download their movies, and give 'em feedback. They love that stuff. (Louis Wu 10:53:44 UTC) (permalink)
Music comes into its own
Interesting article about game soundtracks over at the Hollywood Reporter; the focus is on the Hitman series, and its composer... but Halo 2, with sales of 120,000 copies for its first volume (12 times the average sales of a game soundtrack), is used as a benchmark. Thanks to Greg O'Connor-Read, of Music 4 Games, for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 10:04:47 UTC) (permalink)
I miss Mister Chief.
A tad late, because of family obligations, but it's time to let you know about another Bungie Weekly What's Update, posted over at Bungie.net. It's a pretty big one - it contains information about the new maps to be released in June (including two new teaser screens, of Relic and Backwash), as well as plenty of tidbits about the new playlists, and rank, and employee-shaped clouds.
