Long-lost music
A couple of years ago, we were following a machinima series called 'Silver Stars/Purple Hearts' - it was being filmed in the HaloPC engine, and it told the story of a squad of female spartans. Elnea had written some music for it - but the series had died in production before her music saw the light of day. Last week, as a birthday present, Sevenar (one of the leads on the SSPH project) told Elnea she could release the music to the world - so she's done so.

Fan-made Halo Movie Trailer
Gryponosiris noticed a fan-made trailer for the Halo movie over at GameTrailers.com - it uses only officially released clips from Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo Wars, but it's pretty nicely done! Very consistent. (Louis Wu 15:20:20 UTC) (permalink)
