Play!
Wow, bizarre. Remember Video Games Live? They're claiming to be happening again (there are two dates on their Tour page)... but they're no longer the only game in town. Play! bills itself as 'A Video Game Symphony', and features music from 'a catalogue of blockbuster video game titles'... including Halo. They kick off in Chicago, on May 27... with dates in Stockholm and Philadelphia already scheduled. Tommy Tallarico... watch your back! Thanks, Hanchen Lu. (Louis Wu 23:46:40 UTC) (permalink)
Love Song
More movies. Well, movie. This one ALMOST passed the MPRRS. (Missed by 0.4%.) It's a music video from Belligerent, set to 311's 'Love Song', and it's pretty nicely done. Not too huge, and the suggestions made by the reviewers aren't dealbreakers, in my opinion. Grab it in WMP9 format (28.3 mb) or QuickTime format (26.3 mb). (Louis Wu 21:46:39 UTC) (permalink)
Halo for the PSP
Funkiness. Looks like someone's trying to create a version of Halo that runs on the PSP. Should be fun to keep an eye on... thanks, Hexudus. (Louis Wu 21:38:58 UTC) (permalink)
Lament for Pvt. Jenkins
BootStrap Boon put together a vid called 'Lament for Pvt. Jenkins' recently, and the MPRRS said 'yeah!' It's an alternate look at what might have happened to the poor dead Private from Halo, and aside from some odd aspect issues, and the occasional interlacing, it's quite well done. He does a really nice job of integrating Dialogue Databank snippets into his footage, so all dialogue is done by the original Halo marines. It's rather large; both long (11:40) and big (856x480), so it weighs in at 115 mb, in either WMP9 or QuickTime formats. Give it a whirl! (Louis Wu 21:09:57 UTC) (permalink)
Action Replay FAQ
Spartan Jag wrote up a FAQ for Action Replay, the device that lets you trade saved games with other Halo players (well, lots of games, but this is a Halo site, right?). Check it out on our forum. (Louis Wu 17:00:01 UTC) (permalink)
Managing XPectations.
So, not too long ago, Bungie announced that Halo 2 would be coming out on Windows Vista - and a lot of people griped that they didn't want to upgrade their operating system just to play Halo 2. Stuntmutt takes the 'if you can't beat 'em, laugh at 'em' tack in today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 14:18:38 UTC) (permalink)
HCEC Season 3, Ep 1
Season 3 of the Halo CE Chronicles kicked off yesterday, with 'The Valley of the Forerunners, Part 1' - swing by the HCEC website to grab your copy. This one picks up where season 2 left off, and is the first in 11 parts. Nice scenery, and a great kickoff into the new season's plotline. Hmm... no download links in that news post, so after reading about the release, be sure to stop by the Videos page. Thanks to Dennis Powers and PsycoJoe for letting us know.

Why does the cake smell like baby oil?
RedvsBlue Episode 74, 'Right To Remain Silenced', has been released for sponsors, a bit later than expected... but man, it was worth it. My favorite character is back... and as fun as ever. If you're a sponsor, go grab it now. If you're not... it should be out by Thursday or so. Thanks to spartaneric for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 03:24:20 UTC) (permalink)
