HBO Forerunners - Content out the Ying-Yang
N1NJ4 writes to point out that the HBO Forerunners website is up and running, with tons of fun content for you. There's a clan blog (interesting idea, with a half-dozen entries already, mostly decent reads), various art and video tidbits, and a trailer for the upcoming clan vid, "Forerunner Chronicles" (24.3 mb, WMP9 format, 1:31 long). Check it out! (Louis Wu 19:51:32 UTC) (permalink)
Kr4zed Montage
kr4zed submitted a montage vid to our Movie Peer Review Rating System - and the reviewers liked the timing, and the video effects. (They would have been happy with more spectacular gameplay - but apparently it was good enough to pass even with this gripe.) It's available in WMP9 format (36.6 mb) or QuickTime format (32.1 mb). Not bad for a fourteen-year-old! (Louis Wu 12:32:23 UTC) (permalink)

No Scope King
Almost a month ago, (GT))Juggler posted a teaser for 'No Scope King', a vid he was putting together that collected no-scope snipes from various games. Last night, this movie was released, and promoted on halo2forum.com. (Bandwidth is being provided - in its entirety - by Mythica; the halo2forum thread is just an announcement.) Unless you enjoy wallowing in mud (and nastier substances), I'd suggest passing over the thread; many (most?) of the posts either rant about how Juggler must have cheated to create this footage, or rant about how stupid other posters are for not seeing this. I've played with Juggler - quite a bit - and I'm not at all worried about the veracity of this footage; he's quite a good sniper, with or without a scope, but more to the point, his skill isn't the point of this vid. It's about watching fun no-scope snipes. And Juggler does a really nice job putting them together. The video is 2:22 long, and weighs in at 35.8 mb in QuickTime format (720X480), or 26.4 MB in WMP9 format (600x450). (The WMP9 has the correct aspect ratio - the quicktime is a bit stretched. On the other hand, the QT has higher video quality, and is larger.) Go watch - but watch it to enjoy the filmmaking. (Louis Wu 11:47:04 UTC) (permalink)
Terminal on your PSP
Mintz08 continues his PSP-ready conversions - this time with the 3D Terminal screenshots released yesterday. I'm still having trouble understanding the draw, but there it is for anyone who wants it. (Louis Wu 11:23:09 UTC) (permalink)
What should come next
Diss3nt has written up a blog entry with his thoughts about Halo 3. It's a little bit schizophrenic (after ranting about how Halo 2 got too much advertising, and how that detrimentally affected the fanbase, he complains that wants to see more promotional focus on the storyline - it was too neglected in the Halo 2 ads), but there's a lot of feeling behind it. He started a comment thread about it on our forum, as well. (Louis Wu 11:19:58 UTC) (permalink)
