Halo 2 Soundtrack - from a High School Marching Band
Cybrfrk spent the day at the Arizona State High School marching band competition yesterday (congrats to his son's band, rated as Excellent at the event!). He was taking pictures with his digital camera when Sandra Day O'Connor High School, from Deer Valley, Arizona, took the field - they performed a program called 'Halo 2'. He recorded it using the camera's video mode - so the video is small, but the audio is fine; check out the songs they did! Eight and a half minutes, QuickTime (14.3 mb) or WMP9 (13.7 mb).

ItWasLuck - montage
There's a pretty impressive montage over at Halo2Forum.com - ItWasLuck has released a bunch of full game vids (not montages, but start-to-finish games) with halo pros in them, now you can see some of the highlights of these and other matches. The guy is pretty impressive with a sniper rifle. 83 mb, WMP9 format. (Louis Wu 17:06:58 UTC) (permalink)

Free game for Canadian DSL users
Juxtapose points out that if you're a Bell Sympatico High Speed DSL subscriber (yeah, you have to live in Canada), you can get a free Xbox or Xbox360 game when you sign up for certain Xbox Live subscriptions. Details can be found on his Arbiter's Judgement blog. (Louis Wu 16:13:43 UTC) (permalink)
Back from the Mackies.
Wow. Spent yesterday at the Machinima Festival, where Rooster Teeth went home with 3 Mackies (Excellence in Machinima Writing for P.A.N.I.C.S., Best Editing (for Strangerhood), and Best Independent Machinima (for Red vs Blue Season 3), and Chris Burke went home with Best Machinima Series for This Spartan Life. (Since we provide Chris with his movie bandwidth, I suppose you can say that HBO has award-winning bandwidth!) There were lots of other awards; these were the only Halo-related ones. Saw lots of friends, old and new, saw lots of good machinima, got inspired by panel discussions that suggested where machinima might be going in the future. All in all, a fantastic day. Put me a little behind, though, in terms of HBO... I'll do my best to catch up. In the meantime, enjoy your weekend! (Louis Wu 16:07:05 UTC) (permalink)
