Tag Team Roboto
Another MPRRS-passed film for you today - this one is a montage called Tag Team Roboto, amde by MikeMan27 and his buddy, Dan. This went through several iterations, getting feedback at each step from the system; the final product is light-years beyond the original submission. You can grab a WMP9 version (47.2 mb, mythica.org | bungie.org) or a QuickTime version (39.8 mb, bungie.org | mythica.org) - enjoy! (Louis Wu 20:33:50 UTC) (permalink)
Chicago LAN for adults
Wow - this is a new one for me. 2old2play is hosting a LAN party in Chicago... and they're charging $60 to get in. They're shooting for 32 gamers (on 16 TVs) - but if they get more, they have a second venue that can handle up to about 70. And oh, yeah - you have to bring your own Xbox and controllers. (TVs will be provided, though.) If you're over 25, and are either in Chicago or willing to fly there on Saturday, August 13... swing by and check out the page! (Louis Wu 19:37:08 UTC) (permalink)
HCEC 10: Descent
The Halo CE Chronicles have kicked off Season 2 with Episode 10, now available from the HCEC video page. Many new characters, but the focus remains on the Spartan and the station AI - very nice use of repurposed footage. Go check it out! (Louis Wu 19:11:31 UTC) (permalink)
Don't Mess with Tex.
SanchezTheLlama put together a guest strip for CTF, a Halo-influenced comic (not all strips are safe for work, so careful if you go backwards). Do women on XBL have a harder time than men? You decide. (Louis Wu 15:21:00 UTC) (permalink)
Where to shoot in the Gulch
IGN has a Sniping Locations on Coagulation FAQ online - this is fan-written, and starts with the dubious information "Xbox Live = no fun"... but you might find some useful info inside. Update: looks like I mentioned this in January. Seems I wasn't that impressed with it then, either - guess I gotta be careful with Google News Alerts from now on. Thanks, nof.

Elongaaaaaaa...
How do you follow up your 343rd strip? With true cheese, of course. Go read One One Se7en - but don't get carried away. (Louis Wu 14:55:36 UTC) (permalink)
Oh So Beautiful
Jamie98s whipped up a nice little video (WMP9, 10.6 mb | QuickTime, 9 mb) showing some of the pretty stuff in Halo 2's multiplayer maps. No plot - just pretty. The Jack Johnson soundtrack is a perfect fit, too. There haven't been a lot of films passing the MPRRS recently - this is one. Go watch. (Louis Wu 14:43:41 UTC) (permalink)

CPL Summer 2005 Event Coverage
The CPL Summer 2005 event kicked off yesterday; [HC] D-Man has put up a writeup on HALOChat, including links to pics, and a writeup on GotFrag. These guys are playing for a $10,000 purse - go check out the first day of action! (Louis Wu 13:12:21 UTC) (permalink)
Homebrewed MC Goodness
We mentioned Doug Godfrey a couple of weeks ago - he's been working on some MC models based off action figures, instead of in-game stuff. He dropped by our forum last night to point out a short rendered animation (4 mb, DivX format) - he's not sure where he's going with it, but so far, it's looking pretty cool!

New gameplay vids at GS
Gamespot has posted seven new movies, showing gameplay on the new maps. 'HD Quality' downloads (yeah, right - they're 480x360 MPEG1s) for Gamespot Complete members, streaming WMP9s for the masses. Check for the '07/07' posted date. (Louis Wu 12:32:06 UTC) (permalink)
Watch the Pros
MLGPro.com has put up a huge new batch of Video on Demand content for subscribers - Finals and semi-finals from MGL St. Louis. There's more on the way today - keep your eyes peeled! Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 12:14:31 UTC) (permalink)
More Painful than a Rocket Launcher
