Broken Iris Contest Winners Posted
In keeping with our 'Thursday at HBO: All Movies, All the Time' theme of the news this morning, we've got the contest winners from HaloGrid's Broken Iris contest. All three winning videos are available in streaming and download forms thanks to GTV. Two of the winners are straight-up music videos (they even use the same Broken Iris song), the third is a WWII machinima. Go watch! Thanks, Hellhawk. (Louis Wu 16:08:01 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Humpday Challenge Rebroadcast
Another one from trigger119 - the Halo Humpday Challenge against the ForgeHub
guys was filmed, as planned, last night... and you can watch it (albeit without audio commentary) at GamingTV. Some bizarre gametypes there - I'm not sure what was going on. The first game had everyone (4 Bungie-ites, and 5 ForgeHubbers) on the same team - only two people scored kills. The second game had everybody against Frankie. The third game looks like a straight-up Hill game, with Bungie losing badly. (I'd watch the footage, but the Justin.TV player crashes for me each time I try to fast-forward.) I guess we're going to have to wait for Bungie's writeup to understand what actually happened... Update: Looks like I was looking at the wrong games. The weird stuff was just warmup. Here's Game 1 (King, ForgeHub wins 451-49), Game 2 (Slayer, Bungie wins 50-31), and Game 3 (One Flag, ForgeHub wins, 2-1). Thanks, trigger, for the clarification. (Louis Wu 15:11:02 UTC) (permalink)
Contamination Trailer
trigger119 stumbled on a trailer for Contamination, an upcoming machinima vid from rtidwell. Nice cinematography! (Louis Wu 14:56:23 UTC) (permalink)
Rockin' it, old-school.
Ducain sent along this link to a video done by SneakyPete. It's been a while since I watched a Halo 1 (well, in this case, Halo PC) trick vid... but man, this guy is GOOD. Check it out - for nostalgia, for smiles, just for the heck of it. YouTube-hosted. (Louis Wu 14:54:00 UTC) (permalink)
