Can It.
Stuntmutt puts forth an alternate speculation for why a couple of the Halo 2 characters ended up working together in today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 14:04:31 UTC) (permalink)
HollywoodHalo Update 7
HollywoodHalo's Update 7 passed our MPRRS last night - go watch this for updates on sites like Bungie.net and High Impact Halo. The Pumpkin stuff is a little... odd. Go watch! Just over 30 mb, in either WMP9 or QuickTime formats. (Louis Wu 13:49:06 UTC) (permalink)
Killikatari, baby.
A couple of days ago, Eisen Feuer posted a bunch of dialogue snippets to our forum - high-quality recordings of the various multiple-kill announcements in multiplayer. We've finally added them to our Dialogue Databank - one that doesn't show up in that link is 'Un-Freakin-Believable' which was in the databank before, but in a much lower-quality recording. These are good enough for use in machinima projects, I'd say... (Louis Wu 12:23:49 UTC) (permalink)
This Spartan Life Bodyguard Contest
This Spartan Life is hosting a Halo competition on XBL today, at 1pm, EST (that's a bit less than 5 hours from now). The winner will become a semi-regular character on the popular show, as Damian's bodyguard. Competitors must be 18 or older, and clearly you must also have access to XBL (and a broadband connection). Full explanations and rules can be found in this post on their forum (registration required to see it). They need email ahead of time - so if you're interested, sign up and read the post to see what needs to go into it! (Louis Wu 12:09:56 UTC) (permalink)
Nephrons - Minus Five
The next episode of Nephrons ('Nephrons - Minus Five') has been released by ChairLeg Productions - and it's passed our Movie Peer Review Rating System. You can grab it in PSP-friendly form (368x208, 16.2 mb, MP4 encoding), directly from their site... or in PC-friendly form (standard 640x480 formats) from us; WMP9 format is 44.3 mb, QuickTime format is 40.6 mb. In their words, "a variety of unusual subjects such as thumbscrews and Walrus Kings but still no actual on screen bullets....yet." Go watch! (Louis Wu 12:04:30 UTC) (permalink)
Perfect cutscene - in HaloCE
The HaloCE community continues advancing the product - Wave of Lag points out a thread on the Gearbox forum where The Ghost demos the first cutscene in the Maw, completely rendered in HaloCE. (HaloCE was released as multiplayer-only; there was no explicit support for campaign play. That didn't stop these guys, though.) Looks like custom single-player maps aren't that far off!
