Tied The Leader - now with wings!
The weekly Tied the Leader forum update was posted today by XerxdeeJ - you'll find a summary of the half dozen or so new articles put up since the last update. (There's also a pretty new interface for the blog.) Just a quick note - it's interesting how much mail we received about this article mentioning the Jeep Hurricane, a concept car that looks an awful lot like a warthog. The thing is... it got a TON of coverage in our forum last January, when it was unveiled at the 2005 Auto Show. (The earliest post I could find was this one, by KaworuNagisa.) It's interesting to me how things seem to go in cycles. (Louis Wu 21:08:00 UTC) (permalink)
Lawrence.com looks at the Map Pack
Matt Cox (known around here as Mothergoat) has written a review of the Multiplayer Map Pack for Lawrence.com - go give it a read! (It's very well written, and comes up with some conclusions that aren't the same as all the other reviews you might have read - worth listening to.) (Louis Wu 20:59:57 UTC) (permalink)
Final Supremacy's Black and White
Final Supremacy has released the first two episodes of a machinima project called 'Black and White' - this is the story of a team of SpecOps Spartans who need to hold back a rebel uprising. Vids are in DIvX or MPEG format, and run about 40-60 mb each. Grab them from their media page! (Louis Wu 19:02:24 UTC) (permalink)
Seek and Ye Shall Find
You may have noticed the 'Seeker' link on the right side of this news page. This is a new service being offered by Subnova - several major Halo sites (HBO included) have been indexed, and are available for searching all at once. Even for HBO, which has a variety of search options, this is pretty useful, because it searches all sections together, and includes sections that DON'T have search functions. On top of that, though, it searches other sites, like Rampancy.net, High Impact Halo, and Bungie.net (what can be gotten to without a Passport login, anyway). If you've got a Halo site you'd like added to this meta-index, simply send email to seeker@subnova.com - Deimos will set you up. Be aware - this is running on development hardware at the moment - it might be a little flakey. Be patient - and if you get a blank result, try again! (Louis Wu 18:13:44 UTC) (permalink)
When In Doubt...
Halo 2 is a lot of fun - but it's not quite as technical as some other games. To wit (well, maybe a bad choice of phrases) - today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 14:49:11 UTC) (permalink)
Getting High.
There was a montage mentioned over at High Impact Halo, as well - Dark Helmet put together a single player Hog Launching montage from Halo footage. Halo, Silent Cartographer, AotCR - some classic jumps, some stuff you may never have seen before, he makes it ALL look easy. (I watched him pull out a controller and demonstrate some of this stuff to Randy Pitchford, of Gearbox, a couple of years ago - watch this vid and you might feel the same enthusiasm to go and hog-jump yourself that Randy felt.) The forum thread has both high-res (50 mb) and low-res (20 mb) WMP versions, hosted on DH's mythica space - if there's a demand for QuickTime (send email), I'll add them.

Heavy Sniping
Another montage, this time from the original Halo. MPRRS reviewers loved the audio/video synching, which is very impressive. Check out YourDogM1H1, from RHSSE89 - 15.3 mb in QuickTime, 14.9 mb in WMP9. (Louis Wu 14:02:37 UTC) (permalink)
Covenant Dance, Transcribed
Rampancy.net has put up yet another music transcription - this one is 'Covenant Dance', from the original Halo soundtrack, transcribed by Devin Eastman. You must be logged in (free) to download - the archive contains a MIDI file, a PDF of the score, and a PrintMusic file. Go grab it! (Louis Wu 13:27:25 UTC) (permalink)
