VGL - in Connecticut
Last night, I was lucky enough to find myself at the Video Games Live concert that was performed at Yale University's Woolsey Hall. Great music, for a couple of hours... and then the piece de resistance - the standard Halo theme, followed immediately by the Halo 3 'Finish The Fight' piece. Miguel Chavez was able to get these two pieces on film - well, on his digital camera. Quality is limited, of course (what can you expect from a digital camera?) but it still is worth watching. Almost 8 minutes, 22 mb in QuickTime or WMP9 formats. (He also put up a copy at YouTube.) (DHalo, from our forum, was there too - he wrote up his account, as well.) Check it out! Update: And now Miguel's writeup. (Louis Wu 22:21:38 UTC) (permalink)
The Riot 42
Sigafoos points out The Riot 42, with coverage of the community, the new maps, and some silly soap opera stuff. And more, of course. 31 minutes, 12.5 mb. (Louis Wu 20:59:36 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Movie Details Emerge
Filmspot has info about the resurrection of the Halo movie - new details include Lions Gate as the new studio, Steve Downes confirmed as the Master Chief. More in the article. Thanks, BlueNinja. (Louis Wu 19:21:07 UTC) (permalink)
Number One with a Hook
Bungie.net has posted an apology for an industry leak of the upcoming Pimps at Sea movie - apparently, a distributor leaked a poster that was NOT supposed to be public. I guess this has the potential of hurting the upcoming 'Pirates of the Caribbean' finale... it's not Halo-related, but it IS Bungie-related, and if anybody sues, it COULD affect future Bungie projects. Here's hoping we stay in calm waters. Frankie was first with the news, trying to get out in front of the tidal wave of bad press. (Louis Wu 19:03:02 UTC) (permalink)
Xbox 360 Brute Edition
Hardly Halo-related, except for the names... but TeamXbox has a story about the new Xbox 360 Brute Edition (a step up from the Elite Edition). 1TB drive, Super Multi Blue drive (reads both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD), motion-sensitive controller. List price of $599. Thanks, MasterChief2829. (Louis Wu 16:49:53 UTC) (permalink)
Hey Look, A Mark Two.

Energy Episode 4: The Aeros
Simply Greg stopped by to point out Energy Episode 4: The Aeros - we're getting a glimpse at the bigger picture. This is available in quite a few formats - check his forum post for details. (Louis Wu 14:47:55 UTC) (permalink)
FS2H Weekly Update 2.5
Mini-update from Devrous about FS2H, his Freespace 2 Halo project. Dangerous day for mini-updates... (Louis Wu 14:15:13 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 P.I.M.P. Edition
Team Xbox has a story about the 'Power In My Platform' edition of Halo 3, estimated retail price of $999.99 - instead of just a helmet, you get the whole Spartan. Comes with pretty special content - read the story. Thanks, Spec_Ops_Assault (and Wayward Spleen™). (Louis Wu 14:12:06 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Zero: Even the name is taken
Game Stooge has an article about Halo Zero, an upcoming prequel to the Halo series starring the I Love Bees cast. Joystiq cries foul. Thanks, Spec_Ops_Assault. (Louis Wu 14:07:21 UTC) (permalink)
Cops and Robbers: Robbers Unite
We got word from bndud that a trailer for 'Cops and Robbers: Robbers Unite' has been released - swing by their website to grab a copy (2:19, 22 mb, WMP9 format). THe ywant to make clear they're not an RvB ripoff, even though their color scheme is Red and Blue. Cinematography looks good - release is on April 5, here's hoping for a good run!
