Cole Protocol Cover
Awesome - TTL Demag0gue noticed that Tobias Buckell, the author of the upcoming Halo novel, "The Cole Protocol", has posted cover art for the book. Interestingly enough, he got it from Amazon! Update: Bungie's Lorraine 'mehve' McLees dropped by to pass along some details about this cover - it's the work of Isaac Hannaford, and the final version (according to Lorraine, who knows this kind of stuff) is GAWJUSS. This one's just the initial sketch! (Louis Wu 21:05:27 UTC) (permalink)
Grifball Summer League - now in Matchmaking
The latest Double XP weekend playlist went up 45 minutes ago - this week, it's Grifball Summer League rules! Go get hammered. (Yes, someday, I'll come up with a different tagline for grifball playlist newsposts.) (Louis Wu 18:43:35 UTC) (permalink)
GameVeeGrab back up
GameVee has put their beta 'Grab' feature back online; sign in, give the site a Bungie.net saved film URL, and they'll record a clip for you, watchable on the web! This was up for a while, and then went down for a long time - nice to see it back! (Louis Wu 18:41:04 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Wars Demo in 1UP vid
Halo Wars has been demoed a few times this week - so far, all of the demos seem pretty similar to me. The 1UP Show E3 Day 2 Special has another version, if you've missed the streaming versions that have shown up so far. (Thanks, Regicide.) Gamespot showed a live stream an hour ago - it should be in the archives by tomorrow. (Louis Wu 18:38:23 UTC) (permalink)
Five is right out.
Heh - John Campbell stopped by with a short video showing a pretty amazingly lucky grenade toss... go watch. (Louis Wu 18:22:03 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Cutscenes - now in HD
It's been a long time coming, but we've finally got the Halo 1 cutscenes for you in HD format, thanks to HaLo2FrEeEk of Infectionist Machinima. These were recorded from the PC version, and are available in both WMP9 format and H.264-encoded QuickTime format. We're starting with the first Pillar of Autumn scenes - depending on demand, we might speed up the release rate. (As an added bonus, all the smaller versions have been re-encoded, as well - though the QuickTime versions there are still use the Sorenson3 codec.) Go browse! (Louis Wu 16:36:10 UTC) (permalink)
The Halo Corpse Alphabet - still needs a few (dead) bodies
The last time we checked in with the Halo Corpse Alphabet, it was just getting started - there was exactly one letter. Now it's four weeks later... and it's nearly complete. There are three letters remaining - and some additional characters and symbols have been added. Check it out! (Louis Wu 15:56:58 UTC) (permalink)
403 Ep 1
Halo0001 X stopped in last night to announce "403" Episode 1, the first installment of a machinima series about a bunch of guys playing Big Team Battle in matchmaking. Personally, I found it to be too long for its content - but it seems to have been generally well-received on our forum. Go judge for yourself! (Louis Wu 15:53:46 UTC) (permalink)
