Halo Cutscene Library in HD - All In
Well, demand looks controllable, so we talked it over - and decided what the heck, we'd just turn on ALL the Halo 1 cutscene HD downloads. Swing by the Halo Cutscene Library and grab the ones you love! (And with that, the entire trilogy's cutscenes are available in HD.) Thanks once again to HaLo2FrEeEk, of Infectionist Machinima, for the rendering of these scenes! (If you run across a download that's mismarked, please send mail; there's been some confusion about the ordering, and I'm not 100% sure I've gotten it completely right.) And... that's it, for the day. Gonna be spending the next 8-10 hours in a car. Whee! (Louis Wu 11:38:38 UTC) (permalink)
Master Chief
TTL Demag0gue stopped by with word of Reclaimer 66 - and things get weird. (Louis Wu 11:37:29 UTC) (permalink)
GeeVeeGrab: Win.
Looks like the rebirth of GeeVeeGrab has inspired people to render clips sitting in their fileshares for months; our forum contains a number of examples. (Thread 1 | thread 2 | thread 3) I don't think there's any way, after this, to post a full roundup of submitted clips without overwhelming the front page - but I'll keep an eye open for the really cool ones.

Stage Five - sooner than expected
Heh - fans have spoken up in the missed announcement situation, with respect to the game that Bungie didn't tell us about at E3 this year. Mega64 takes Bungie to task for their failed promises (hilarious, thanks, StormyTheRabbit), and Impervium uses net resources to tell a happier (for Bungie, at least) story. (There are variants further down in that thread, as well.) I'm glad people are laughing about it all! (Not everyone is laughing - Narcogen, over at Rampancy.net, has taken a pretty hard look at the LA Times article that came out a couple of days ago, and the pettiness he found made him angry. Worth a read - some things that make you go 'hmmmmm'...) (Louis Wu 11:30:51 UTC) (permalink)
Spartans
Tony 'ubald' Marcotte sent along another render - this one is a badass version of your favorite augmented soldier. Great work! (Louis Wu 11:30:26 UTC) (permalink)
The Song of the Super
A couple of days ago, we mentioned a pretty cool fan-created poem - Jordan117 found a video version of it. Replayability is low, but it's pretty fun the first time through. (Louis Wu 11:30:04 UTC) (permalink)
That looks like it hurts.
It's Friday, so it's time for another round of Friday Caption Fun (the 16th!) from Hawty McBloggy. The cream from last round's submissions, plus a new pic - go participate! (Louis Wu 11:29:42 UTC) (permalink)

MS EDD in the Black
As predicted, Microsoft's Xbox division (well, Xbox/PC Games/Zune) posted a $426 million profit for Fiscal Year 2008, on total revenue of $1.7 billion. The press release attributed the success to (among other things) "video game sales led by Halo 3". Does it make you feel warm inside? (Louis Wu 11:26:36 UTC) (permalink)
