Arg.
Sigh... I thought I was going to get through today without having to mention that it's International Talk Like a Pirate Day. (Is there also an international Dress Like a Transvestite Day? How about a Snuffle Like an Aardvark Day?) Halo Heads 8 references the 'holiday' specifically, so... thanks, Paul Maestri. (Thanks a LOT.) (Louis Wu 17:56:12 UTC) (permalink)
Romeo, Where's the Art For?
Well, it's not EMPTY, but the Miscellaneous Art queue has just dropped in size by 30 images. Swing by to see a fun collection of sketches, renders, paintings, collages, and more. There's some awesome stuff in there this time! (I'm only 2 weeks behind! w00t!) (Louis Wu 17:15:55 UTC) (permalink)
Pie: Chapter 1
Mike Rouse, of Machine-Enema, submitted 'Pie, Chapter 1' to the MPRRS yesterday. It passed, handily; it's different from a lot of machinima out there. It has a powerful storyline, and a clever use of mods. The video has a distinctive (and intentional) look to it; it adds nicely to the atmosphere of the film. It's rather large - almost 11 minutes, weighing in at a bit over 120 mb in either WMP9 or QuickTime formats - but absolutely worth the download. Grab a copy. (Louis Wu 14:30:14 UTC) (permalink)
VGL Hollywood Bowl Details
The Video Games Live website has a new press release that contains a list of all the 'industry luminaries' that will be present at the VGL Hollywood Bowl show on Thursday night. If you were on the fence about going... check this out. (Louis Wu 14:18:41 UTC) (permalink)
Building something with an impact
Dean Takahashi spent some time with Hamilton Chu, who was the producer for both Halo and Halo 2, before leaving to help found a new studio called Giant Bite. (We mentioned them in March.) He talks about the future of the new studio, and a bit about what made Halo and Halo 2 special. Give it a read! (Louis Wu 14:10:06 UTC) (permalink)
Better than Sock Puppets
A couple of weeks ago, CVG interviewed Matt Hullum of Rooster Teeth about Red vs Blue - 3Suns just found it today. Go read! (Louis Wu 04:14:38 UTC) (permalink)
StickyDooms FTW
Jack Gamber stopped by to let us know that he'd interviewed Kevin Paul, Bungie's newest Content Munkie, over at Game-Spectrum.com. Learn a little more about the man who would as soon stab you in the face as tell you about Halo 3! (Louis Wu 01:05:47 UTC) (permalink)
Hard to Beat
MLGPro.com has a closeup on Karma, and his mastery of Warlock in a 1v1 situation. Fun read! Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 01:02:19 UTC) (permalink)
Christopher Walken Would Approve.
Over on Bungie.net, there's an interview with Tommy Tallarico, in preparation for Thursday night's Video Games Live concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Sounds like it's gonna rock! (Louis Wu 00:58:38 UTC) (permalink)
How NOT to write an article
Heh - Games.net has a 'Winners & Losers' column in which they praise (or take to task) gaming articles around the net; they hammer GameDaily for an article entitled 'Five Reasons Why Halo 3 Might Suck'. I gotta say - I'm behind 'em on this one. (Louis Wu 00:55:55 UTC) (permalink)
