Massive Dialogue Infusion
Hellhawk dumped several hundred dialogue snippets in our inbox yesterday; an amazing feat, given how much has already been documented at this point. We're going to put them up in batches; the first batch is 131 snippets, from Johnson, Jones, the Spec-Ops Commander, Stacker, and Tartarus. Whew! More coming tomorrow (Brutes, Elites, and Grunts are still outstanding). (Louis Wu 23:37:34 UTC) (permalink)
2005 MLG Championship Results
The full results for the 2005 MLG Championship are posted over at MLGPro.com - Congrats to Team3D (winners of the 4v4) and True_Karma (winner of the FFA), as well as everyone else involved! Thanks to Derek, on our forum, and 3Suns, via email. (Louis Wu 23:32:16 UTC) (permalink)
Lots and lots and lots of pics
Barbaric_rage sent along a link to a photogallery run by a Battlestar Galactica fan, containing every image he could find of fan-made Halo suits. (Many are from here.) Unfortunately, none of them contain info about the creators, so if you see something you like, there's no way to contact the person who made it... but it's got to be the largest single collection on the web of this sort of stuff. Take a look. (Louis Wu 18:24:21 UTC) (permalink)
Killing from a distance
Rockslider has put together a new page detailing some long-distance fun you can have on the level Halo of the first game. Check out his description on our forum. (Louis Wu 18:17:11 UTC) (permalink)
When you're bored, in a freezer
Okay, this is... weird. kinggun sent along a photo of a couple of ox tails (he's a butcher), and wondered if you can see the resemblance to anything Halo related. (Like Flood tentacles, for example.) I told you it was weird. (Louis Wu 18:13:16 UTC) (permalink)
Origami - and the Halo link
Interesting. Microsoft launched a new website recently, called 'The Origami Project' - tech blogs across the net have speculated on what's behind it. A new cell phone, a new handheld device... well, maybe it's both. Eastbeast314 pointed out a blog entry at Kevin 2.0 (which in turn got its info from an Engadget comment) which will lead you to an ad for the device, from Digital Kitchen. The entire DK site is Flash-based, and the ad shows you a lot of the different things you can do with the Origami device... but the one that's relevant here is a short clip in the middle. A guy, sitting in a subway... playing his way through Silent Cartographer. Nice! (If you don't want to go through the trouble of hunting down the full movie, or you're not interested in the device per se... you can grab just the Halo clip from us - QuickTime or WMP9. They're both under a meg.) A handheld Xbox? Coolness. (Louis Wu 17:58:50 UTC) (permalink)
Operation: Flaring Nostril
Heretics & Heroes Episode 2 has been released - I don't know how many of you are following this one, but if you're not, you're missing what is potentially one of the best series out there. Cinematography is top-notch, voice-acting is some of the best I've heard, there's an actual plot, and it's funny. What more do you want? In this episode, Lt. Feldman does his best to prepare the rest for actual fighting - and not with each other. Available (as always) in your choice of codecs, and your choice of resolutions. Go watch!
