Puns around the world.
Stuntmutt has rounded up the last couple of months of One One Se7en sightings around the net, and posted them to his blog - see what you missed! (Louis Wu 18:27:35 UTC) (permalink)
Libertyville Halo Theme Professionally Recorded
Mateo sent word that the Libertyville High School Band (Corporeal), some folks who recorded a kickass version of the Halo theme a few months ago, have professionally recorded the Halo portion of their performance. You can hear it at their MySpace link above, or, if you're allergic to MySpace (as I am), you can hear the mp3 on our servers (3.7 mb). (Louis Wu 18:21:26 UTC) (permalink)
Master Idiot Returns
Mintz, in what might be in the running for the most annoying email EVAR, which even included some insults to the perfectly innocent Frag Qu33n, sends word of a Halo-themed strip of Game Boyz, which ran last Wednesday. An honest mistake, no? (Louis Wu 18:14:32 UTC) (permalink)
The Riot 27
Sigafoos writes to tell us about The Riot 27 - they discuss Halo Everywhere, the Halo 3 beta, some clan stuff, and more. And there's a 'Sigafoos Everywhere' contest, which is just like Halo Everywhere except there aren't any prizes and you have to use Sigafoos instead of Halo stuff. (I dunno, that sounds like he's asking for trouble...) 27 minutes, 11 mb. (Louis Wu 18:11:03 UTC) (permalink)
Feenix talks to Bungie about stuff
XBWFeenix stopped by with word of a video interview he conducted with SketchFactor and Frankie at X06 this year (he couldn't make it public until the issue of Xbox World that it was filmed for was actually on the shelves) - the link is in his forum post. Not a LOT of new info, but it's a good interview! (Louis Wu 18:06:19 UTC) (permalink)
Some of these need frames.
Bryn Casey let us know about another huge batch of new artwork - and man, I'm LOVING it. You can find it all on his gallery page here (scroll down to the bottom of the Paint Shop Pro section - but for folks who want things handed to them, there are 7 new images: Spartan 117, Tracks, Patrol, Raining Fire, Wounded, Spartan III, and Detonator. I think my two favorites are Raining Fire and Wounded, but it's a tough choice... (Louis Wu 01:27:24 UTC) (permalink)
You want to hold still.
New art from Luke McKay - a re-imagined Brute. I wouldn't mess with it, unless I had that gun... (Louis Wu 01:03:35 UTC) (permalink)
TalenT's montage
Z, from Halo3Forums, wrote to point out TalenT's montage, edited by Halzred. Heavy on the effects. Will almost certainly place in the top 10 in the upcoming montage contest there. 151 mb in WMP9 format. Grab a copy. (Louis Wu 00:59:06 UTC) (permalink)
xXx talks to MLG
Carbon's coach, xXx, has been interviewed over at MLGPro.com - go see why he made such a difference for them. Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 00:55:01 UTC) (permalink)
Space Dementia, and Movies in General
Okay, first off - we've got a new movie for you. It's from Jamie98s, and it's called Space Dementia, and it's really quite good. Jack Walters thinks he's ready for active duty again - but all may not be as it seems. Great effects, astoundingly high compression (so that a 15 minute 640x480 movie weighs in at only 70 mb, and STILL looks pretty good), great story. Download it in WMP9 format (70.6 mb) or QuickTime format (71.5 mb) - I have to say, I'm pretty happy with the overall quality of new machinima these days. Which brings me to my second point - the MPRRS is NOT dead, it's still under reconstruction. Cybrfrk got called up for jury duty, so he's got less time for coding than we'd originally thought - but we'll get there, and the final product will be better (and more useful) than the original was. Thanks to all who've offered to help (we don't need coding help, but we WILL need reviewing help, once we reopen), and if you've written to us, worried that it's gone - don't worry, it really is coming back. Meanwhile, go watch Space Dementia. It's really well-done. (Louis Wu 00:51:29 UTC) (permalink)
