I want a GIANT version of that.
I was a little hesitant about posting this, since I'm afraid that some of the people who see it from a front-page post won't bother to learn the context, and Roger Wilco will come off as a much harsher person than he really is... but it's just too funny to pass up on. Ross Mills posted a note this morning, lamenting the 'end of the golden age' of the HBO forum; some people (mostly newcomers) agreed with him, some people (mostly folks who've been around for years) suggested that the whole quality thing is cyclical. Roger Wilco chimed in with a pretty positive message, overall... but the opening is... well, harsh. Funny... but harsh. But Funny. Funny enough that it's worth a front-page mention. If it amuses you, and you don't recognize the name... search our news for him; you might find a few other things of interest. (Louis Wu 19:21:43 UTC) (permalink)
Speculation - it's not just for breakfast anymore!
Jillybean tosses around popular sci-fi references with abandon as she plucks a few morsels from the cornucopious Halo Story mailbag. (Yes, I know that's not a word.) The focus today seems to be Forerunner. Go read! (Louis Wu 17:37:25 UTC) (permalink)
GoshDarnGolly, You're Gonna Die!
Whee - still ANOTHER movie. This one comes from Fireb0rn (whose last offering was ALSO quite good) - and it has the honor of garnering the highest score of any of the 130+ videos that have so far passed through the Movie Peer Review Rating System. It's called 'Talking Smack Over Xbox Live: An Educational Film', and it is, in the words of its creator, "a rip-off of those classic Leave it to Beaver style 1950's educational shorts using Halo 2 to tell the story." Filming is great, filter use is great, voice acting is great, content is pretty darn funny. You can grab a WMP9 version (17.2 mb) or a QuickTime version (17.1 mb). Don't forget to drink your milk!
So... when does this get tough?
Captain Spark has turned in another 33 dialogue snippets, this time a combination of Elites, Grunts, and female marines. You can grab the lot on his website, or search for (and listen to) the ones you want in our Dialogue Databank. (Louis Wu 15:51:26 UTC) (permalink)
Hologroan.
Cortana gets roped into tripe into today's One One Se7en... gotta watch that. (Louis Wu 15:30:04 UTC) (permalink)
Sticky Style
Another MPRRS release for you today - this one comes from Spuzzum, and is called 'Sticky Style'. It's basically a runthrough of Cairo Station (well, the highlights, anyway) - but the timing is amazingly good. (Gameplay's pretty good, too...) Gameplay is Heroic, because some of the stuff Spuzzum was trying was "a little too suicidal to pull off successfully with a little flair". Flair, he's got - in spades. Anyone looking to make montages - you could learn from this guy's sense of timing. Available in QuickTime (20.6 mb) or WMP9 (18.6 mb). (Louis Wu 15:05:26 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Walkthrough at IGN
There's a Halo 2 Walkthrough posted up on IGN FAQs (among other places) - if you're having trouble with the game, and our Legendary Walkthrough hasn't helped, try this! (Louis Wu 10:43:06 UTC) (permalink)
Moore on Xbox
Peter Moore talked to GameDaily - mostly it's about Xbox stuff, but Halo gets a few mentions; there's a discussion about the impetus behind the I Love Bees promotion, and a look at backwards compatibility, with Halo and Halo 2 being the only two named titles at the moment promised to work on the 360. There's also a clarification of the silly '1 billion users' quote from last week. (Louis Wu 09:49:18 UTC) (permalink)
Outpost Coagulation Ep 7
Tactic let us know that Outpost Coagulation Episode 7 (Canook and Special forces) has been posted - you can find it at Tree Skunk Productions or mirrored at halomachinima.com (thanks, trigger119). Voice acting continues to improve, a new character (or two) gets introduced, the plotline moves forward. And oh, yeah... the warthog has a hangover. I'll toss up a QuickTime version in the near future. Update: There's a QuickTime version here, now (27.1 mb). (Louis Wu 09:31:16 UTC) (permalink)
Chocolate Covered Strawberries and Martinis
SketchFactor has written up a summary of Bungie's involvement in E3 this year - it's posted at Bungie.net. If you weren't there, this will show you what you missed - at least the Bungie-related portion. Go read! (Louis Wu 09:04:22 UTC) (permalink)
