Warmongers
The HSE Project Team sent along Warmongers, a short musical piece based off Halo, which will be used on the soundtrack of an upcoming RTS game (release is scheduled for mid-2007). Give it a listen! (Louis Wu 20:39:33 UTC) (permalink)
Turtle Mann's Fourth Montage Trailer
Turtle Mann submitted the trailer for his fourth Montage to the MPRRS - and their biggest complaint was that it was too short. Go watch - WMP9 format is 23.4 mb, QuickTime format is 25 mb. Nice synchronization! (Louis Wu 19:33:10 UTC) (permalink)
Mike Hill - our newest Featured Artist
Our collection of Artist Galleries just expanded - Mike Hill now has a page here. Mike's work has made the news page a few times - but the news moves quickly around these parts, and it's great to finally have a resting place for this gorgeous stuff. There's a new piece for your perusal - Hybrid is what happens when someone with a lot of talent combines a 3D render with a video screencap and a lot of home lovin'...

LiLPoison's back in the news
Grey Wolf noticed an interview with LiLPoison, the 8-year-old Halo wonder, on New York 1; the clip is watchable online, if you're not in the NY area. Amazing kid! (Louis Wu 18:27:08 UTC) (permalink)
Damian Lacedamian Saves The Net
Congratulations to This Spartan Life, whose 'Can't Buy Me Net' video blog just won the Pulver.com 'Save the Net' viral ad contest (and a cool $1000). Round II is coming up - and the prize has been upped to $5000! Good luck, Chris! (Louis Wu 18:02:45 UTC) (permalink)
Team MoBDeep
Over at MLGPro.com, there's an interview with Team MoBDeep, a relative unknown that came out of nowhere to finish in the top 8 in Dallas. Go read about who they are. Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 13:15:14 UTC) (permalink)
The Five-Minute Spartan
Elnea recently started a drawing class, and one of the assignments was to create 6 sketches in 30 minutes, every day. One of hers recently was a Spartan - I love it. (Louis Wu 11:50:26 UTC) (permalink)
Who planned this?
CAFLORES, of the PromethianGuard, wrote to point out a new comic they've started, called 'Tactic and Cevr... and Caf'. The first episode is up in their forum. Update: Oops, looks like the bandwidth ran out on that comic - and nobody had a local copy. They've posted a beta version, here. Update 2: Caflores DID have another copy - the original is now a couple of posts down. Moral of the story: Try not to host your images on a server that will yank them when the bandwidth runs out.

Google says we rock.
Heh - over at Google Video, there was an episode of Google Current that aired about a month ago that looked at the subject of 'net neutrality' - it talked about how this concept (which is concerned with a possible 'tiered' internet, in which higher-paying customers get faster bandwidth) has really only exploded in the last couple of months. During the piece, a recent 'This Spartan Life' video blog was discussed (because its focus, too, was net neutrality - we mentioned it here)... the part that amused me was the end of the Google Current clip. "You can watch the whole thing at thisspartanlife.com, and (for now, at least) that video blog loads very quickly." A throwaway tagline, maybe... but since we're providing the video hosting for This Spartan Life, it's still nice to hear. Thanks, Joshua Ary. (Louis Wu 11:19:58 UTC) (permalink)
Long Form Content
A new Community Spotlight has gone live over at Bungie.net; KP asked a question and a half of Narcogen, and let the guy behind Rampancy.net handle the other 8000 words of the interview. Check it out to see some of the motivation behind one of the longest-running Halo fansites on the web, along with some little-known Bungie history and trivia. As usual when Narc's writing, a great read. (Louis Wu 00:19:41 UTC) (permalink)
