Abnormality 2
DigitalPh33r has put together a machinima called 'Abnormality 2', which tells the story of some unofficial Spartan augmentations, and what can happen when things go wrong. It's really well-filmed, has a solid storyline, and decent acting - the only downside is that the video quality isn't fantastic. Unfortunately, the raw video files have been lost, so we have what we have. This video passed the MPRRS last night, so we're hosting both the original WMP9 version (720x480, 49.6 mb), and a smaller (500x333, 56.4 mb) QuickTime version (screensize was shrunk a bit because I just couldn't get decent quality for a conversion at the larger size). Regardless of image quality, this one is DEFINITELY worth watching. Go grab it! (Louis Wu 20:10:11 UTC) (permalink)
The Virtual Couch
Compton wrote up a 6v6 CTF match in a way that puts you in the game - you can read it here. (And yes, it seems that Compton will soon be acting like a giddy school girl. Scary thought.) (Louis Wu 20:02:50 UTC) (permalink)
Waging War for a Vision
Over at his Tied the Leader blog, XerxdeeJ has written a piece looking at the job Guillermo del Toro might do as director for the Halo movie, if he does, indeed, become the director. A nice upbeat outlook - we all need to read these at times! Check it out. (Louis Wu 18:19:05 UTC) (permalink)
Press Start To Play.
Ross Mills found a couple of Halo-related strips at the Press Start to Play webcomic - you can find links in his forum thread. (Louis Wu 15:43:38 UTC) (permalink)
It's a Nicole Morning.
Dead or Alive 4's unlockable Spartan has been the subject of quite a bit of scrutiny recently... Major Nelson posted 22 new screenshots (thanks, Capt 0bvious), though they look better if you stretch them back to 4:3 aspect ratio, instead of the 16:9 he posted them at, and Jeux France has a 75 mb MPEG-encoded video of gameplay (thanks, Tempus Fugit)... but for me, the highlight was Dan Chosich's romp through Nicole-land. Once again, he shows some pretty amazing talent as he puts Nicole through her paces, in a truly stylish way. You gotta watch this one. He created a couple of H.264-encoded QuickTimes, and one Sorenson 3-encoded QuickTime - I added a mirror for the larger QT7, as well as a decent Sorenson-3 version, and a watchable WMP9. Grab the version that works best on your computer - and check out Nicole's moves against a variety of opponents. (Louis Wu 15:38:44 UTC) (permalink)
MC Armor - Going Fast
Whoa. You don't have much time - but if you're interested in Master Chief armor, Briar's Armor (search our news if you've never heard of them) has a red set up on eBay - with just under a day left in the auction. What a great after-Christmas present for that special Halo fan in your life! (Or me...) (Louis Wu 03:37:22 UTC) (permalink)
