Fan Music - En Masse
We got email from Erik "P3PP3RM4N" Fikkert yesterday - he had a bunch of fan music he'd created, wanted to know how to get it out to our audience. Well, that's easy, right? We just post it, and tell you to go listen! Some of these pieces are really slick - I'd suggest starting up a forum thread if you're interested in working with Erik on a machinima project; Halo vids are always better with original music!

Writing the Halo Screenplay
Gamasutra has a podcast interview with DB Weiss, the most recent Halo screenplay writer. He talks quite a bit about the process, and about working with Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh. My copy seems to have gotten corrupted at about the 28 minute mark - but by then he was pretty much done with Halo anyway. Thanks, Michael Smith. (Louis Wu 13:29:50 UTC)

Halo 2: The Series Trailer (redone)
A couple of years ago, comradx started a pretty ambitious project - he was going to create a full-length feature film based on Halo 2. He released the first of seven episodes, covering Cairo Station... but then abandoned the project. Jamie98s has just picked it up; he's starting from scratch, and has plans to actually finish at some point. He's a significant way into the production - but what we have for you today is a trailer, to whet your appetite. 16.4 mb in WMP9 format, 16.3 mb in QuickTime format - and more on the way when we get it. Update: These have now been mirrored by GamingTV. (Louis Wu 17:18:26 UTC)

The Community Awards show
Sigafoos dropped us a note about The Riot's First Annual Community Awards podcast, now available at Second Foundation. Awards are presented by community luminaries (heh), with a musical guest and everything. Congrats to all the winners - and in fact to all nominees; this community is only as strong as the people who help build it. 24 minutes, 10 mb. (RVideo has started a thread on our forum, if you have comments.) (Louis Wu 13:36:39 UTC)

Machinima.com is putting together some tips and tricks for making machinima using Halo 2 - Part 1, now available at YouTube, shows how to get rid of the camerman's weapon, and how to get rid of the HUD. Great start! Thanks, Adam Kovic. (Louis Wu 21:50:37 UTC)

Sunday Art Deluge
The art submissions have been building up since late November; as always, I apologize for the tardiness. Swing by the Miscellaneous Art section for 72 new entries - 95 pictures in all. As always, there's a bunch of spectacular stuff in there (along with artwork which shows more love and enthusiasm than, say, raw talent - but remember, everyone starts somewhere). Fun stuff, serious stuff, tradional media or digital... it's all in there. There's at least one artist I'll probably be contacting soon about a new gallery page here... (Louis Wu 18:57:18 UTC)

Rule of 3 Reminder
Bungie posted a new Top Story last night (thanks, S043), reminding everyone that the 'Rule of 3' Program starts tomorrow. This is your next opportunity to get into the Halo 3 beta. But if you don't make it... these words of hope were included:

And remember, after all the dust has settled, Bungie will have a few extra beta spots for a few lucky and loyal community members. So one way or another, you should be able to find a way to participate in the Halo 3 Beta, fingers crossed and good luck!

Don't panic. Do your best, have fun. And don't forget to eat your vegetables. (Louis Wu 13:39:57 UTC)

What do you Want? And When do you Want it?
Ducain has put together his 'pie in the sky wishlist' for Halo 3 single player; things he wishes would show up in the upcoming campaign. Give it a read - and let him know what you think (either as a comment to that HIH newspost, or in the thread he started on our forum). (Louis Wu 22:07:46 UTC)

The Heretic Action Trailer
Sbear sent word that the Heretic Action Trailer has been released - this is the second of two trailers released for an upcoming series from Edgeworks Entertainment. This one should pump you up... and you don't have to wait long for start of the actual series - release date looks to be [censored]. Update: Wow. I was told that I was ruining the surprise release date by posting it here - because the page we linked to (see above) I guess was more subtle. I've removed the date. You'll have to go elsewhere for it. (Louis Wu 23:25:17 UTC)

Planet Xbox 360 takes shots at MLG
Planet Xbox 360 has an opinion piece about MLG, and whether or not they have what it takes to be 'taken seriously'. Read it for yourself - but I have to say, and I'm saying this as an MLG outsider, some of the arguments used in the piece are silly. The author argues that watching games is nowhere near as fun as playing them - but he ignores the huge number of people who enjoy montages (and, in fact, he ignores the millions of worldwide fans of OTHER gaming leagues, and THEIR spectator sports). For many of us, it's more fun to play football than to watch it - but that doesn't negate the success of the NFL. He gripes that focusing on a single game (Halo 2) will hurt MLG in the long run, because people want 'new and fresh' material - but NASCAR hasn't started showing tractor racing, and I doubt they will. He scoffs at the idea that gaming can be a 'sport' - in his words, "since when did sitting in a giant hotel ballroom playing games against others for hours, constitute you as an athlete or player of sports?" One might ask the same about the drivers who sit for hours in the front seat of stock cars, circling the same track over and over... but in general, one doesn't. I'm not sure why this piece rubbed me so strongly the wrong way... but it did. (I enjoy reading about MLG, but I'm not a real part of their community - it just felt like this attack was relatively unwarranted.) (Louis Wu 13:00:58 UTC)

Mid-Air No-Scopes On Turret Jerks
There was a new Halo 3 Humpday this week, and it got posted last night. Once again, a coordinated team of Bungie employees went into Halo 3 matchmaking against 3 separate ragtag groups of whoever showed - and surprise, surprise, they won. (Good thing it's still early in the Alpha cycle, and they can keep that confidence level up...) The writeup contains screenshots of the tweaked Bungie.net stats pages; kills are now broken out by type, and separate track is kept of suicide/betrayal totals. Schedonnardus was the first to notice this publicly. (Louis Wu 11:38:27 UTC)

B.net Fan Art Update
Over at Bungie.net, the new Top Story is a Fan Art update - and man, is there some amazing stuff in this one. Some of it has already been seen (here, in our own Miscellaneous Art collection), but much is new - and ALL of it is worth looking at. You can chime in to the thread KP started on our forum about it.

The Assault
trigger119 sent word of a new machinima he's hosting over at GamingTV.org. It's called The Assault, and he found it because Laird (of SvF and Halo: Unyielding) did some 3D work for it. The voice acting could use some work... and so could the choreography. But the added touches (a communication screen, a Pelican, etc) are really nicely done. The downloadable versions at GTV are about 30 mb, depending on flavor, or you can watch it at YouTube. (Louis Wu 15:35:45 UTC)

New Map Pack Release from CMT
Over at Bungie.net, there's news of a new map pack release from the Halo:CE mod group CMT. Four new maps, with custom HUD, new weapons, and more. You can find screenshots and download links on the H2Vista.net forum. Thanks to newDeviLedeT1 for the heads-up. Update: In case the CMT website goes down (180 mb download + bungie.net mention = lots and lots and lots of bandwidth), Dennis Powers, of Halo Maps, has mirrored the maps themselves, and has the bandwidth to withstand the blast.

Go read to get a feel for where he started, how he got to where he is now, and what's he's doing in his new job. Thanks to 3Suns, who noticed this at Bungie.net. (Louis Wu 15:01:06 UTC)

300, Take 4
Frank Miller's 300 isn't even out yet, and it's already generated more Halo tributes than any other movie. Amazing! Latest in the field (bunch of links to other ones in this post) is a video from eternalscrappy; quality is startlingly sharp. It's leet. (Louis Wu 21:25:20 UTC)

New Panoramas from RVideo
RVideo continues his awesome panorama work in Halo 2; there are three new ones in this forum post. The original .png files (hosted on his server) range from 1 to 1.5 mb; I've also added much smaller (filesize, not screensize) jpegs, ranging from 120 to 160 kb. They're all pretty - but Judgement ROCKS. (Louis Wu 18:34:48 UTC)

Nostalgia
We got an email from DeAdLy SeNiX, about 'Nostalgia', a montage video he'd edited (using footage from ThePanzerGnome). It's got a large backstory, and the video itself is over 17 minutes long. It's currently being hosted by FileFront, with mirrors from impressed watchers. (You can read the backstory, and find the download links, in this forum post at Halo3Forum.com.) The file is enormous - almost 360 mb. I started the download and went to do other things yesterday... and when it got here, and I realized it was almost 20 minutes long, I figured I'd watch a few representative minutes so I could at least say something about it. I ended up watching the whole thing. Great music choices and superb timing mix nicely with some topclass gameplay. (The actual gameplay is less impressive than it used to be; multiple Killimanjaros are no longer a novelty. It's how they're put together that matters at this point.) Anyway, if you've got an enormous pipe, and room for a third of a gig on your hard drive, grab this puppy; it's fun to watch. And be sure to read the forum post, for a view into the mindset of the creator; it'll set you up nicely for the vid itself. (You've got plenty of time - it's a 350 mb download!)

An Army You Could Set Fire To
Nomi is a regular of the irc.bungie.org #hbo channel - and last fall, she was one of the attendees at a LANfest in Ohio, hosted by Tarny. What started as an insert for a Christmas card/thank you note to Tarny has grown into almost a cottage industry - check out her ultra-cool Paper Spartans! (Louis Wu 19:43:07 UTC)
