Ho Ho Ho
A holiday card... from poena.dare. Love it! (Louis Wu 21:21:06 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Movie Trailer Update
In the hours since we mentioned it, there's been quite a bit of activity surrounding the Halo Movie trailer put up by Blackstar Productions. Nick has created a smaller, modem-friendly version (8.3 mb) which we've mirrored at mythica.org... and Brian himself has posted a smaller (21 mb) version at the home site. This one (as well as the original, 35 mb version) are now mirrored as well at Mythica.org - and we're gladly accepting any other mirror offers. It's a pretty impressive trailer - leaves you wanting the whole thing! (The small version was encoded with the MsMPEG4v2 codec, and requires WMP 9 to view. Jacke points out that there are downloadable codecs to allow this to be seen on Macs, but as far as I can tell, they're OS9-exclusive; I couldn't find a way to watch this in OSX.)

Sarge Goes Loony
gd managed to grab a pretty funny sound clip of the Sarge, on Silent Cartographer - read about it in this post, listen to the relevant piece here. I've never heard this in the regular game (gd got this off the one-level demo) - I wonder if it's unique to the demo, or if it's actually there to be found in the full version?

That ain't no angel...
Michael DiBiccari knocked down a Banshee on AotCR, and its landing spot was rather timely, given the season. We've added the pic to our Miscellaneous Art section. (Louis Wu 05:27:54 UTC) (permalink)
That Poor MC...
Bonk comes back from a pretty long absence with a new cutscene blooper vid; 10.5 mb, 2 and a half minutes, in QuickTime 5 format. Messin' with the Master Chief in the Shafted cutscene... to see what you can do with Bungie's prescripted stuff, go check it out at iBonk.com! (Louis Wu 05:09:00 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: The Movie... trailer
The site's being slammed pretty hard at the moment, so I can't even get in to grab a copy we can put up at mirror sites, but it seems Brian Josselyn, of Blackstar Productions, has put up a trailer for his (in production) Halo movie. According to some forumgoers, it's pretty impressive! (Louis Wu 04:59:16 UTC) (permalink)
Of Men and Machines
Whoa, interesting. Mark Levin has whipped up a Circular Room Grand Tour with pictures and commentary about the indoor portions of Assault on the Control Room. This is the first really intense look at the possible meanings behind the structures on Halo... and there are some interesting speculations. Check it out! (Louis Wu 04:34:17 UTC) (permalink)
