HW Remix
Geoff Chang edited the Halo Wars trailer and set it to music from the movie 'The Island'. Works pretty well! (Louis Wu 20:02:54 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 tourney in UK
Hexus Gaming has a press release about XL, an Xbox/Xbox 360 tourney that will take place at the Birmingham National Exhibition Center in Birmingham, England, on November 25-26. Lots of cash and prizes on the line! (Louis Wu 19:09:05 UTC) (permalink)
Spartan Group OMG.
Since last week's announcement about Halo Wars, our forum has been rife with discussion about what this might mean for fans down the road - the usual cries of 'sellout!' and 'doom, despair' have been flying for days. Folks are even annoyed by the cheesiness of the final line of the Halo Wars trailer, and basing predictions about the game itself on this annoyance. Stuntmutt, as usual, cuts through the words and delivers a pithy summary - check out today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 16:24:25 UTC) (permalink)
Dropshock Episode 24
Dropshock Episode 24 has been released - as usual, it's lewd and crude. Minimal Halo content these days - but they've got a brand-new website, so there you go. 1:14 long, 34 mb. Thanks, Adam Russell. (Louis Wu 16:02:37 UTC) (permalink)
HW Marketplace Goodies
Last week, after Halo Wars was announced, Xbox Live Marketplace made available both new gamertag icons and a 360 Halo Wars Theme - we didn't get around to pointing them out, though other sites have. Thanks to c0ld vengeance for the reminder. (Louis Wu 15:15:59 UTC) (permalink)
Mute Radio Ep 4
Bluestrike2 let us know that Mute Radio Episode 4 has been posted - there's an interview with Sundance DiGiovanni, of Major League Gaming. 35 minutes, 32 mb... go listen! (Louis Wu 14:32:13 UTC) (permalink)
Bottom of AotCR - Again (but worth it)
The first visit to the bottom of Assault on the Control Room (that I know about) was Frogblast's, back in August 2002. (Others had gotten to the banshee boundary earlier - but nobody had gotten through it.) Now, more than 4 years later, 3rd Person revisits the idea - and does it in s7yle. He uses a checkpoint-delay system I've never seen before; it adds a bit of extra work at the start, but MAN does it save time later. Beautifully filmed, perfectly explained. I can remember the days when I would have been horrified that a single Halo trick required a 65 mb movie to display... but this was beautiful. Thanks, Ducain. (Louis Wu 14:21:19 UTC) (permalink)
HaloMods Movie Contest
Excal, over at HaloMods, kicked off a movie contest yesterday - check that page for rules, deadlines, and prizes. Sounds like fun! (If you have questions not answered by that contest page, post 'em in this forum topic at HaloMods.) (Louis Wu 14:13:32 UTC) (permalink)
