This Spartan Life - blog 04
This Spartan Life has updated with a new video blog entry - blog 04 continues to chronicle the Bodyguard Competition. Some nice camera angles (I'm impressed with how careful the competitors are to not kill the camera people); I'm guessing he's getting closer to picking a winner. QuickTime (13.8 mb) or WMP9 (10.5 mb) formats. Go check it out! (Louis Wu 13:17:55 UTC) (permalink)
Destroying Rome in a Day
There's a nice interview with Matt Soell over at Gaming Nexus - he talks about Stubbs the Zombie, and though much of the info is already out there, there are a few new and interesting questions. Go read! Thanks, Rampancy.net. (Louis Wu 13:10:35 UTC) (permalink)
Cairo Station speedrun - now higher-res
The movie trifecta is completed with a high-res version of one of the high-speed runs we mentioned a couple of days ago. I wished for higher quality, Cody Miller answered me. You can grab a 640x480 QuickTime (82.5 mb) of Jeff's Cairo Station run from our server; the original source was VHS tape, so it's still not crystal-clear, but it's much better than the 320x240 version released Thursday. (We're not going to get in the habit of hosting speedruns; that's what highspeedhalo is for... I just wanted to see it better, and Cody obliged.) (Louis Wu 10:57:16 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2: Mombasa Trailer
Another recent submission to the MPRRS that the reviewers gave their thumbs-up to was the HALO 2: Mombasa trailer. This is a trailer for the second installment of Clan Dyslexia's re-enactment of the Halo 2 story (the first installment was mentioned here, here, and here), and aside from being too dark in places, is a gorgeous filming of the Earth sections of Halo 2. You can grab the WMP9 version of the trailer (20.6 mb), or a slightly less dark (but still hard-to-see in places) QuickTime version (20.9 mb) - and then settle in to wait for the final product, because this one looks to be amazing.

Halzred's Montage 4
Halzred submitted his latest montage to the MPRRS; he didn't want hosting (it's already being hosted over at Halo2forum.com - WMP9, 64.9 mb), but it passed with a pretty high score, and we always try to make hosted movies available to as many people as possible... so I'm putting up a QuickTime version (65.9 mb) just for those who need it. Great editing, great gameplay, fantastic timing. Go watch! (Louis Wu 04:54:03 UTC) (permalink)
Really bad coffee and wireless heaven
Bungie's Weekly Update is up - and while there's nothing ground-breaking in there, it's a nice read. Small details about the DoA pics (they're real, in case you doubted), teasers about the Xbox360 and its capabilities with respect to Halo and Halo 2, cool numbers about the Fight the Flood campaign, and a funky Mister Chief. Go read! Frankie, of course, was first, but I found it on my own anyway. (Louis Wu 03:28:53 UTC) (permalink)
