Evolution of Halo hits the net
At the Bungie Fanfest a couple of weeks ago, one of the highlights was a movie from Bungie called 'The Evolution of Halo'. It showed how Halo developed from its obvious Myth roots (the opening sequence of somersaulting marines is hilarious) to something resembling what finally got released. (The newest versions shown are actually close to 2 years old...) The commentary was provided by Bungie employees, and it was a fascinating view behind the scenes. Unfortunately, Bungie made it very clear that they would never release this movie - it was a perk for fans willing to make the trek to the fest. They didn't, however, stop anyone from taping it with a camcorder... and Deanero did exactly that. Video quality isn't great (hey, the camcorder was handheld, and not even set up in the center of the room), but hardcore Halo fans will still find the humongous download worth it. One important thing to keep in mind - Bungie made this film for the faithful - the folks who can tell the difference between a joke and an official statement. There are things said on the soundtrack that are NOT to be taken as official commentary by Bungie Studios - it's a bunch of guys who happen to work for Bungie, cracking jokes and reminiscing. With those caveats, go visit our Evolution mirrors page, and grab your copy! Major props go out to Brian Towne, of Mythica.org, Ryan 'sonicstorm' Foote, of Battleground: Halo, and Psyrixx, of The Psyjnir Complex, for their gracious providing of bandwidth for this massive file... and we'd like to put out a serious plea for more - a movie this big will strain ANY pipe, so the more we have, the better off we are!

Not your average crack-fueled speculation
The Halo Story site gets a much-awaited update today - grab a cup of coffee, cause this puppy is BIG. Lots to think about... will any of this discussion spark you to send in your own mad ravings? You'll have to visit and see! (Happy birthday, btw, mnemesis!) (Louis Wu 02:52:25 UTC) (permalink)
Halo's Star(s)...
Thanks to Phreak, who noted on our forum that he's started a compilation of the stars in the Halo (game) universe... there are some gaps in his chart, so if you can help out, drop him a line! (Louis Wu 02:30:18 UTC) (permalink)
Halo - in the Top 20 of all time?
Thanks to 3Suns, who sent in this link from the online version of the Sydney Morning Herald (in Sydney, Australia) - they compiled what they think are the top 50 games of all time... and Halo made number 20 on the list. (Even cooler, but less relevant here, is that Marathon was 44th...) (Louis Wu 02:27:01 UTC) (permalink)
