A Hopeless Case?
The Brute Video Documentary made some new AI behavior public. I think Stuntmutt may have misunderstood... decide for yourself in today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 20:05:57 UTC) (permalink)
Jungle Trigonometry 3
sodaGod has added another video to his Jungle Trigonometry series - Jungle Trigonometry 3. Couple his fantastic camera work with funny skits, and you get a vid absolutely worth downloading. This one has a number of 'Master Chief is Kind of a Jerk' segments... and a fantastic longer parody of zombie movies. There's plenty of other stuff, too. All in all, it's almost 13 minutes long, and weighs in at over 100 mb. You can grab it at GamingTV.org, or snag one of our mirrors (WMP9 is 108 mb, QuickTime is 114 mb). Swinging by the Machine Enema website points out another pair of links for the WMP9 version. (I'm pretty sure that right now, ours is the only QuickTime version available, though GTV should have a copy up soon.) For those who say that Halo machinima is dying - sodaGod should be a clear example that you're totally and utterly wrong. The man makes fantastic vids. (Thanks to trigger119 for the heads-up on this one.)

Young Gamer makes it big - now in the UK
Usul found a nice article about Lil Poison in the Sunday Times, a London (UK) newspaper. The word is spreading! (Louis Wu 19:03:48 UTC) (permalink)
New Panoramas from RVideo
RVideo continues his awesome panorama work in Halo 2; there are three new ones in this forum post. The original .png files (hosted on his server) range from 1 to 1.5 mb; I've also added much smaller (filesize, not screensize) jpegs, ranging from 120 to 160 kb. They're all pretty - but Judgement ROCKS. (Louis Wu 18:34:48 UTC) (permalink)
Friday's Fanfic
Seven new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section today - go read. (Remember, submitters - there's a new 'max 3 submissions per week' rule... don't flood the inbox. Thanks!) (Louis Wu 17:51:14 UTC) (permalink)
Nostalgia
We got an email from DeAdLy SeNiX, about 'Nostalgia', a montage video he'd edited (using footage from ThePanzerGnome). It's got a large backstory, and the video itself is over 17 minutes long. It's currently being hosted by FileFront, with mirrors from impressed watchers. (You can read the backstory, and find the download links, in this forum post at Halo3Forum.com.) The file is enormous - almost 360 mb. I started the download and went to do other things yesterday... and when it got here, and I realized it was almost 20 minutes long, I figured I'd watch a few representative minutes so I could at least say something about it. I ended up watching the whole thing. Great music choices and superb timing mix nicely with some topclass gameplay. (The actual gameplay is less impressive than it used to be; multiple Killimanjaros are no longer a novelty. It's how they're put together that matters at this point.) Anyway, if you've got an enormous pipe, and room for a third of a gig on your hard drive, grab this puppy; it's fun to watch. And be sure to read the forum post, for a view into the mindset of the creator; it'll set you up nicely for the vid itself. (You've got plenty of time - it's a 350 mb download!)

Ridonkulous is not a word.
Over at Bungie.net last night, KP posted a Halo 3 Humpday Challenge writeup; it was the Community Team vs the Multiplayer team. The Community team lost - though KP suggests it might have happened on purpose. (Of course, KP also suggests that he gets coffee for Marty every morning not because he has to, but out of the kindness of his heart... so you take what you want to from his rationalization.)
