This year the "Rockets on Prisoner" award will be accorded to the winner in each of the following categories: Best Movie, Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, Best Editing Sound and Visual Effects, Best Musical Score, and Best Documentary."They've already got quite a few well-known (and not so well-known) films up on the lists of potential nominees.

haloevents needs your help
Derek Brown is starting up a new site called haloevents - he's hoping to create a database of upcoming Halo events around the nation. Visitors will be able to search this database for events near them. This requires input from you; the more events submitted to this site, the more people who will come to search it for information relevant to them, which will make the pool of event-submitters larger, which will help the database grow, and so on, and so on. In addition to events, there will be reviews of multiplayer gear, suggestions for LAN party hosting, and multiplayer setups. Go visit, and submit content! (Louis Wu 09:47:57 UTC)

NoFF tourney trailer
Never got a movie up at Mythica yesterday, and dang, if the bandwidth usage didn't drop below 7 Mbit/sec. The inside of the pipe's gonna start feeling lonely - not enough bits passing through! Next up is a movie we should have posted a while ago; it seems to have gotten slightly lost. This film is a trailer for the Ninjas on Fire Forum Exclusive XBC Tournament. Nothing in the documentation sent with the movie (or at the NoFF Tournament website) gives an actual date (or dates) for this gathering... but the vid is nicely put together. It's only 6.4 mb, in WMP7 format. I'm a little surprised at some of the misses... but hey, everybody's got off days, right? This was submitted by zhakahunterDARK, and more information can be found at the Ninja Tournament website. (Louis Wu 03:58:02 UTC)

Looks like we're not the only ones here...
Halogamers has put up Episode one of its Sidewinder Saga. 2:39 long, in QuickTime format, it's available in two resolutions: 640x480 (23.5 mb) and 320x240 (7.2 mb). Nice filming! The story's off to a rollicking start. (Louis Wu 19:07:38 UTC)

Requiem for Halo: new movie
Athol Productions has put together an artistic look at Halo 2; snippets of existing movies, interspersed with stills, all nicely composited. Nice soundtrack, too. 'Requiem for Halo' is available in both QuickTime 5 (19.6 mb) and WMP 9 (21.4 mb) formats. It's 4:55 long, and has a screensize of 320x240. Take a look! (Louis Wu 12:33:46 UTC)

Halo PC preview at Gamespot - with new screenies
Gamespot has put up a Halo PC preview, with 11 new screens (heavy on the Banshees in multiplayer) - this game is looking mighty impressive! Go read the details. Thanks to KP on our forum, and an anonymous emailer for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 23:28:36 UTC)

New screenies at IGN
IGN has posted 11 new Halo PC screens (mostly multiplayer) - they're only 800x600, but they're still beautiful. (Nobody over there has Dave Candland's setup skills, though...) They're available to everyone - check 'em out! Thanks to strato99l for the first heads-up. Update: There's an article that goes with these, available to all. Thanks to Infininja for noticing.

This is like the gun I used in 'nam.
Six months ago, Mike Miller put together a film called 'In Too Deep'. It rocked. Well, he's back - the new one's called 'Winning isn't Everything', and it rocks, too. 19.2 mb of QuickTime goodness - it's just over 4 and a half minutes long, and it's filled with a combination of tricks (most of which have been documented right here on this site), cool sequences, and fantastic audio choices. Timing (probably the most critical feature of a Halo vid) is spot-on... and there are some sequences that simply have to be seen to be believed. (Check out the Elite Wraith driver kill that starts around 1:07.) If you're looking to make a Halo video, and you want to figure out what works... watch this. 20 mb is big... so any mirror offers will be greatly appreciated. Update: Blade, who's in the process of building Team Ice, a Halo/Starcraft gaming website (with updates coming soon), has agreed to mirror BOTH of Mike Miller's movies - you can grab In Too Deep and Winning isn't Everything off his site. Thanks, Blade! (Louis Wu 16:49:33 UTC)

Home again - it was definitely big enough
Just got home from Brian Josselyn's Are You Big enough lanfest - here's a shot (68K) of some of the folks present, set against the backdrop of the largest screen we used. (No, we didn't play on this surface - there was a real screen that had been stored by the time this picture was taken.) Twelve hours of hi-def Halo goodness - and even though a bunch of the players won't actually be home for a few more hours, it was absolutely, positively worth the drive. More soon, I hope. For now, bed. (Louis Wu 05:07:43 UTC)

Gamespot says Look! Us too!
Continuing the trend of posting 3-month-old screenshots, Gamespot put up 12 new pics yesterday, as well. They've all been seen before - but some of the Prophet variants they put up are larger than any alternatives posted to date. Worth a look, if you're an avid collector. Ross Mills was the first to notice on our forum. (Louis Wu 09:51:43 UTC)

And Still more new screens at ToTheGame
ToTheGame has ALSO put up 'new' screenshots; again, these are pre-E3, and most have been seen before. However, the first shot (a Brute model) and the last (a nice shot of the new Warthog) are really new. Check it out! Thanks to Eclarap, of Halo-Game, for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:43:19 UTC)

More Halo 2 screens at TXB
Team Xbox has put up 7 'new' screens from Halo 2 - actually, they're digital versions of some images posted in the June issue of the Official Xbox Magazine. (Three have appeared online, in a slightly smaller form, already - check our Screenshots section for details.) Thanks to CuBaNo for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 09:27:03 UTC)

Mythica's back!
Woohoo! Mythica.org, which has been down since June 19 (that's just short of three weeks ago, for you movie-starved folks), is back up and running! We're going to be attempting to clear the rather substantial movie backlog over the next week or so... we'll start with the longest-waiting movies. First up: Too Many Vehicles, a film put together by Darksage and released on June 25 on a friend's server. You can read about it here. If you've already grabbed it, be patient - we'll release another one in the next few hours. Whoa, I feel the chest loosening! (Louis Wu 11:27:30 UTC)

Dialogue Databank Opened
Captain Spark recently submitted over 125 dialogue samples, in mp3 format. We've decided to use these to start a dialogue databank. Check out what's already there... and if you've got the equipment (and the interest), follow the instructions on the page for sending in NEW snippets! Suggestions are always welcome. Update: Wraith has submitted three new Grunt snippets - the collection grows! (Louis Wu 14:57:24 UTC)

Apocalypse: Halo, part 1
Dark Helmet has started a new Halo movie series. It's called Apocalypse: Halo, and the first installment can be downloaded from FilePlanet. It's in WMP9 format (which means we don't know anything more about it than what DH has said in this forum post - we can't watch it here), and weighs in at 18.8 mb. Take a look!

Screenshots DB updated
Thanks to Ross Mills and oddworld18, for reminding us that the Underground Online exclusive Halo PC screenshots we mentioned a couple of weeks ago had not been added to the Screenshots database yet. Oversight rectified. (Louis Wu 01:31:47 UTC)

Halo PC Update - from Bungie
For those frustrated by the quietness of the Halo PC teams (multiple Randy Pitchford interviews notwithstanding), swing on by Bungie's Tru7h and Reconciliation site for a major update. (It can also be found here, in a more permanent location, in case you're reading this down the road.) Michel Bastien talks about where their time has been spent, and what's coming... and offers a custom screenshot (you'll have to post your request on Bungie's Underground forum). Go read it - now!

18 points of articulation
mehve has updated the Bungie community on the Halo Action Figures - they're on their way out of the factory right now! They should be hitting the Bungie Store (and other outlets) by early August. Go read about the details! Update: mehve points out that the key points of this news bit have been added to the Halo Action Figures FAQ. (Louis Wu 20:44:22 UTC)

PC mod starting up
Dispraiser puts in a call for modders - he's starting work on a PC mod. He's got the beginnings of a Halo battle rifle already built - needs skinning, though. Check it out! (Louis Wu 21:21:50 UTC)

The WHAT team?
Wow. Either someone's smoking too much crack... or something got leaked. A representative of ArtSource (a digital media staffing agency with an office in Seattle) posted to the CG Talk Hiring forum, with a request that reads in part:
Are you a SENIOR 3D Max modeler (3+ years of work experience) with multiplayer map experience, texturing and game experience? Are you available for CONTRACT work in Seattle for 3+ months?
If you have an amazing reel of strong environment modeling, we need you to work with the HALO and MARATHON team. These positions start out contract but may convert to direct hire.
Longtime Bungie fans might be going a bit berserk right now, given that 'Marathon team' reference... but remember one thing: right near the top of Bungie's very own Jobs page, there's a disclaimer:
Note to Recruitment Agencies: In accordance with Microsoft's recruitment policies, Bungie does not accept applicants from recruitment agencies and will not pay a recruitment fee for any candidates.
So: Is ArtSource working in a sanctioned way with Bungie (or Microsoft) - or have they flipped? And how real is the 'Marathon team'? Speculation is welcome on our forum, and if we get any harder information than this, we'll be sure to post it right here. (Thanks to Ian Mankowski for finding this gem.) Update: Evil Otto clears up the situation with a flat "there is no Marathon sequel in our plans at this time." Read his post for more details on how this might have come about. Thanks, EO!

Tribes screenies with MC
There are a significant number of shots of a Halo-related skin in use in Tribes over at the Tribes Battle Room Screenshots Collection; there's no easy way to point them all out, you'll need to go through his collection for yourself. As far as I can tell, these were taken using existing skins (there are at least two sets chronicled in our news database) - but it's fun to see the MC in other games. Thanks to Renzo for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 11:42:28 UTC)

What - like a spider?
If you could part with a measly $5, you'd be watching Red vs Blue Episode 11 right now. And jumping out of your chair with fright. Or at least laughter. (Starts slow, but finishes with a bang.) If you can't part with $5, you'll have to wait until Sunday to get this. (Louis Wu 17:09:10 UTC)

Look at the paintings and then blow crap up!
The Pillar of Art Gallery showing will take place in next Saturday, July 5th, in lovely New York City. It'll be open from 12PM onwards. At some point, we'll then switch over to Halo LAN mode... put away the entries and then start to blow ourselves up. I'm trying to get 4 projectors and all the rest of the equipment lined up so we'll have a really good time.
The Chelsea Studio Gallery is located at 515 W. 19th st, right off 10th Avenue. Come see all the entries, including the top 3 prizewinners, of the Pillar of Art contest. Bring a camera and get a pic of yourself holding the cool Battle Rifle or the MC's Pistol.
As it stands, this will be the only public showing of all these pieces in one room! Stand in awe of all the mighty talent displayed!
The Gallery is open to one and all, but the LAN party is going to be handled differently, I'm sorry to say. Since we can't accomodate 75 players, I have to limit it to a much smaller crowd. So if you're interested in attending, send me an email with all your info and I'll let you know if there's space available.
We'll do our best to take pics and videos of the event. :)
