More Machinima Coverage
Anton P. Nym found, over at the Escapist, an article on machinima, as well - and again, Red vs Blue is held up as an example of how to do it right (along with Randy Glass, and his latest (non-Halo) work) - but mostly, the author laments the huge amount of mediocre work available on the net, and suggests that if the RIAA gets involved, at least the number of "just-plain-crappy videos" (his words, not mine) would decrease. Eh. (I was also unhappy that many of the example links at the end of the article were dead ends.) (Louis Wu 14:08:18 UTC) (permalink)
NYT Machinima piece - now online
The New York Times article we mentioned yesterday is online now (free registration required, or visit bugmenot.com for a username). NB was right - it's a great article. It focuses pretty heavily on Red vs Blue, while looking at the field of machinima in general - go read this! (Louis Wu 13:59:25 UTC) (permalink)
225 MB to grab at H2F
Over at Halo2Forum.com, there are three new movies to grab - P3MBY made a second montage (QuickTime format, 117 mb) - lots and lots and LOTS of sticks. On the same page, you'll find a link for KwicK's Montage (WMP9 format, 50.7 mb) - P3MBY is a member of the same team (xT Minnesota) as KwicK. And then, in this thread, you can find a link for Xpl0d3r's 'Things I Learned While Playing Halo 2' (WMP9 format, 62.6 mb) - I think it boils down to 'don't be stupid', but I'm not sure. That's a lot of bytes to download! (Louis Wu 13:38:16 UTC) (permalink)
Net Reviews
A couple of net reviews out there for you - Xbox World Australia has given the Multiplayer Map Pack a once-over (they liked it, but would have appreciated some single-player love), and Gaming Horizon has pinned down Halo 2 (yeah, the game, not the map pack) - if you've read any of the hundreds of reviews that were published a few months ago, you've seen their gripes before (and their kudos, too). But there it is. (Louis Wu 13:15:32 UTC) (permalink)
Sunday Morning Reading
Fan Fiction writers must be focusing on the 117 Words contest - in the last 5 days, there've only been 8 new submissions. Go read! (Louis Wu 13:05:01 UTC) (permalink)
