Homeless Movies Find Homes
Even when we say no, someone says yes. Kevin Chambers' movie 'The Drunk Master Chief' was turned down here for hosting because it didn't meet our (rather stringent) posting guidelines... but it's already found 2 homes: Haloid is hosting it on the web (last item on the list), and the Psyjnir Complex is hosting it via Hotline (go to Files, then Halo -> Movies). 14 megs, .wmv format... go for it! (We've got a pair of homes lined up for the larger movie mentioned this morning, as well - just ironing out some details.) (Louis Wu 21:19:33 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Trailer: Coming in September
Ouch! Xbox.com has put up a 'Halo 2 Trailer Countdown' - and it's set at 21 days. Ugh. (Unfortunately, even though the link it goes to is broken, Bungie has confirmed that the date is correct.) Think of the interim as a reflective period... (Matt Gray gets the nod for the first heads-up.) (Louis Wu 20:37:13 UTC) (permalink)
Movie? Sort of.
Vinny Mac has submitted 'Marines', a pretty cool Flash file - it's just over a meg, and it's really nicely done. You can call it a music video, I guess... low-tech, but some laugh-out-loud moments. Check it out! (Louis Wu 16:48:19 UTC) (permalink)
Movie Bandwidth needs...
It's happening again. :( Recently we had two movies submitted to us (different submitters) containing interesting gameplay clips put to music. They're very different - one focuses on a Master Chief who can't drive, is in .wmv format, is almost 9 minutes long, and weighs in at 14 megs, the other focuses on what happens when plasma grenades and warthogs get together, is in .mpeg format, is almost 5 minutes long, and weighs in at almost 50 megs - but they have the same problem - they need a home, and neither one meets our Movie Posting Guidelines. The Halo 2 trailer is on the horizon, some other very promising pieces are coming soon, and some of our biggest bandwidth donors are facing troubles of their own... bandwidth is really, really tight. :( If anyone wants to help out with either of the files mentioned above, let us know - we'll send 'em off to you, and post a link (and our grateful thanks). If anyone has a large, unused bandwidth pipe that they are just aching to fill-drop us a line, we'll set up a movie mirror, and thousands of Halo fans will love you.

Tourney Thoughts
Team Overkill has written up a description (with pictures) of their experience at the first round of the Halo National Tournament. There's some interesting stuff in this thread on our forum, as well. (Louis Wu 14:37:47 UTC) (permalink)
More Trailer Info
For those of you who just can't wait to actually SEE the Halo 2 trailer, Gamers.com has put up a transcript of it. Thanks to andrew katz for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:34:31 UTC) (permalink)
