Custom Map Team Update
Okay, so I've talked to DJ of HaloImpulse, and it's true, the Custom Map Team did, indeed, go over its bandwidth allotment, and it will cost DJ roughly $400 to pay it down. (The CMT crew is NOT on the hook for this - HaloImpulse, who was hosting their website, is. This is probably a good thing, because the Paypal link on CMT's front page is busted. If you want to donate, hit the Paypal link on HaloImpulse's front page.) The HaloImpulse and CMT links for downloads are currently offline - though they may be back tomorrow. However, the files are still available at HaloMaps.org - demand is high, so if you want to see roughly how long downloads will take, visit their bandwidth info page; it'll tell you which files are being downloaded, and what the average download speed is at the moment. We've also put up a mirror of the files; I make no promises about how long I'll leave it up (if demand begins to be painful, down it will come), but it's there for now. With patience and some net etiquette (be gentle, basically), everyone who wants these files should have access to them, even though the original hosts are down. (Louis Wu 20:18:36 UTC) (permalink)
Pink Foxes
Pinkuh put together a really nice intro image for her newly revamped personal website; she posted it to our forum, and we added it to her Gallery page here. Check it out! (Louis Wu 17:18:29 UTC) (permalink)
Sea. Turtle. Kill.
Turtle Mann submitted his fourth montage to the MPRRS - and they passed it, though a few reviewers thought it went a bit overboard on effects. (I'd agree with that, though for the most part it's not too hard to figure out what's going on.) We're hosting a WMP9 version (67.7 mb) and a QuickTime version (63.7 mb) - grab the one that is easiest to watch for you! (Louis Wu 16:39:18 UTC) (permalink)
Oppression Trailer
A few days ago, a trailer for an upcoming machinima called 'Oppression' passed through the MPRRS; it came really, really close to passing. There was a single typo in some of the text, and this typo was mentioned by a large number of reviewers - we got uppity squirrel, the creator, to fix that typo, and we're hosting the vid after all. Looks to be a dramatic film! The trailer is 14.6 mb in WMP9 format, or 14.1 mb in QuickTime format (it's only 2 minutes long). Check it out! (Louis Wu 16:00:34 UTC) (permalink)
Pro Choice?
Stuntmutt has posted a new blog entry, containing a whole bunch of user-submitted strips (I think my favorite is Tragic Nocturne's take on the Vampire Earth controversy), along with some other random One One Se7en-related tidbits. If you feel as though you haven't had enough One One Se7en stuff this week, swing by! (Louis Wu 14:47:35 UTC) (permalink)
sHyRe's Montage Trailer
Over at Halo2Forum.com, Z points out sHyRe's Montage Trailer for download - 41.6 mb, WMP9 format. It's short... but it looks pretty good! Full montage vid coming later this summer. Go download. (No more registration needs to download from H2F.) (Louis Wu 14:42:06 UTC) (permalink)
