More Cardboard Models
A couple of days ago, we mentioned some cardboard Halo guns made by a fan; we soon received another batch of pictures from a different fan, who's been building his own cardboard weapons. Swing by this page to see the cardboard weapons of yayap_the_grunt. (Louis Wu 08:22:42 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Documentary - QT HD available
Okay, so here's the deal. A few days ago, a really cool movie was released by Bungie - 'Halo 3: Behind The Scenes'. It came out in lots of flavors, lots of sizes... but the highest-resolution QuickTime, a gorgeous HD 720p version weighing in at 400 mb, had a problem; the last 20 seconds of the video got corrupted every time they tried to upload the file to the servers. The word in the latest Weekly Update is that the problem still isn't solved. Now, 400 MB is WAY too big for us to handle as a direct download - especially if we're the only host, and the file is as popular as this one is. But this is EXACTLY the sort of thing that BitTorrent is good at. And we can certainly spare 20Mbit/sec of seed bandwidth, to help folks get started... so with Bungie's blessing, we're offering the HD QuickTime version of this film as a torrent. If you've been waiting for this version, wait no longer - grab a BitTorrent client and start sharing! (For those who've been waiting for this but cannot or will not use BitTorrent - I really do apologize, but a 400MB file might kill us. Really.) (Louis Wu 01:40:36 UTC) (permalink)
Tumbleweeds and Nonagenarians
Tonight's Weekly Update focuses on the XBL playlists (there are still 20 million games of Halo 2 played each month - WOW!), plus info on what's been going on in the office this week, and another great installment of the Waaahmbulance. Go read - at Bungie.net or in our Weekly Update Archive. Frankie, as usual (though not always) was first - though he's stuck true to his 'no more Firsts' pledge after the Halo 3 trailer came out, and has titled this post 'Free Food' or something.
