Detach predicts Top 8 in Chicago
MLG has posted a summary of the predictions of one of the pros for the upcoming MLG Chicago tourney - interesting to see how well he does. Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 17:42:26 UTC) (permalink)
A Fine Use of a Fun Product
Heh - spartanerik noticed a Halo-related construction over at HowStuffWorks, in an article entitled 'How Play-Doh® Modeling Compound Works'; on the off chance that the pic disappears, we've archived it here. Good stuff! (Louis Wu 15:32:44 UTC) (permalink)
HMV Hell
For the most part, movies we host run through the Movie Peer Review Rating System; it gives useful feedback to the movie maker, and it cuts down on the films the staff actually needs to weed through to find the gems. It works really well - though since it's totally volunteer-run, occasionally, movies are in the queue for longer than we'd like. Now is one of those times - my guess is a lot of it is that it's summer, and folks are less inclined to 'work' during their free time. Whatever the reason, occasionally a movie will come along that is good enough that I'd rather it didn't wait through the queue. One of those came in yesterday; imSuck, a moviemaker with a LOT of great movies under his belt, sent along 'HMV Hell', a Halo vid based on the concept of AMV Hell - it's a mashup of a lot of different songs, in different styles, all illustrated nicely in Halo, and wonderfully interspersed with humor. Film quality, as usual with imSuck's work, is top-notch; great visuals, great cinematography, great timing. It's long - just over 9 minutes - but well worth the download. Grab a WMP9 version (125 mb) or a QuickTime version (120 mb) - and enjoy it! (Louis Wu 12:03:55 UTC) (permalink)
Read 'Em And Weep.
Fans in our forum are pointing out that the Halo Graphic Novel is showing up in stores - so today's One One Se7en riffs on Brian Jarrard's Newsarama interview from last week to take another shot at... well, One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 11:48:43 UTC) (permalink)
Mute Radio - the evolution of PwnCasting
Mute Radio, a new venture that has evolved out of MLG PwnCast, opens its doors - it sounds like their focus is shifting from Halo to everything that gamers are interested in (which means that while they'll be appealing to a larger audience overall, we'll be covering them less) - but for now, their first podcast is still pretty solidly Halo-based. An interview with Storm Ventures (a top pro team) and discussions about MLG Chicago fill this puppy. Go listen! And if you like the idea of a podcast that covers movies, music, and other subjects that appeal to gamers, while still covering the Pro Halo scene... bookmark that site! Thanks, Bluestrike2.

Enter XiT Woundz
MLG's got an interview with XiT Woundz, one of the top-rated pro teams preparing to compete at MLG Chicago this weekend. Sounds like these guys are ready for the fight! Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 11:28:47 UTC) (permalink)
