Halo: The Spartans, from Edgen
Justin Durban, otherwise known as Edgen, has created quite a bit of Halo music over the years. When he heard that Peter Jackson was going to be working with the Halo movie project, he got pretty excited, and was inspired to create a new piece. Halo: The Spartans (8.6 mb, mp3 format) is a beautiful look at what a Halo movie score might sound like. We're hosting it with Justin's permission - grab a copy and give it a listen! Thanks to GreyThor for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 22:43:26 UTC) (permalink)
Rad Halo 2 Speedruns
Jeff Cousins pointed out that two of his speed runs (Outskirts and Cairo Station) have been posted up at highspeedhalo.org. The Cairo Station run, in particular, is pretty darned cool - the man is GOOD. (In fact, I'm wishing the footage was higher-quality, it's so impressive to watch.) QuickTime format, 17.4 and 32.9 mb respectively. Go watch! (Louis Wu 21:16:07 UTC) (permalink)
Taming Team Hardcore
Bungie's posted a great article on Team Hardcore playlist tactics, with the help of MLG Pro's Dolbex. If you've tried the playlist and found that staying alive was... well, hard, you should read this. Great pics, too. Thanks, Frankbex. (Louis Wu 19:11:22 UTC) (permalink)
RoP 2005: Best Male Performance
The Rockets on Prisoners Awards announcements continue, with a vid showing nominees (and winner) for Best Male Performance. Thanks once again to Spartan 777 for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 16:45:58 UTC) (permalink)
Spitfire
Pushbak created a fun HaloPC-based montage; it didn't QUITE pass the MPRRS, but it was close, and it brought back memories, so we're hosting it. The original is MPEG-4 encoded (QuickTime only, 51.5 mb), but you can also grab a WMP9 version if you like (49.3 mb). As Pushbak says, "Halo = Fun". (Louis Wu 16:12:11 UTC) (permalink)
Zombie Talk
Narcogen put together some great questions, and got some solid answers, in an interview with Matt Soell, lead writer at Wideload Games. Everything from Halo engine choices for Stubbs to business model comparisons to details about the game itself got covered. Go read it! (Louis Wu 06:20:45 UTC) (permalink)
MLG PwnCast Episode II
The second episode of MLG PwnCast has been released, and can be downloaded via iTunes. It's 70 minutes long, 79.4 mb, and is co-hosted by Overswarm (of the Not So Common Sense strategy guide), reviews CarnageStats and a few montages, and generally gives you tips on MLG-style play. Go listen! (Louis Wu 06:09:02 UTC) (permalink)
