Broken Iris Contest Winners Posted
In keeping with our 'Thursday at HBO: All Movies, All the Time' theme of the news this morning, we've got the contest winners from HaloGrid's Broken Iris contest. All three winning videos are available in streaming and download forms thanks to GTV. Two of the winners are straight-up music videos (they even use the same Broken Iris song), the third is a WWII machinima. Go watch! Thanks, Hellhawk. (Louis Wu 16:08:01 UTC)

Halo 2 HD Cutscenes - now through Oracle
I've been meaning to post this all day - but things keep getting in the way. We've posted six more HD cutscenes in the Halo 2 Cutscene Library - starting with Juggernaut, and running all the way through Edification, these cover all of the Arbiter and Oracle levels. Thanks, as always, to Infectionist Machinima (and HaLo2FrEeEk), and to Wraith7n, for the mirror help. Go download now! (Louis Wu 19:49:35 UTC)

Inside Halo Episode 9
Dan the Stick was the first to point out Inside Halo, Episode 9 - Sodagod pays tribute to Mythica.org, hosts an interview with DigitalPh33r (pretty funny), and shows off the five top plays of the week. And, oh, yeah, includes a Val Kilmer montage. If you don't want to stream it from YouTube, it's downloadable on Machinima.com, as well. (Louis Wu 10:59:18 UTC)

Punch it. Get us close.
I posted this last night, but forgot to mention it; we'll probably be posting another one later today, so I wanted to get this announced: Field Expedient is now available in HD in the Halo 2 Cutscene Library. Mirrors, as always, include Infectionist Machinima and Wraith-Ops. (Louis Wu 12:15:58 UTC)

JustAnotherFan stopped by to announce a teaser trailer for Grind Rider, a new machinima coming this summer. Camera work looks pretty cool - keep your eyes open! (Louis Wu 21:09:02 UTC)

Leprechauns
Bzerker01 pointed out 'Leprechauns', a machinima short created by Treeskunk Productions for the GamingTV 'Laughs for Cash' contest. He said that it "goes further than anything we have released before into the land of weird." After watching it, I can't disagree. Available in a lot of formats, from a lot of places.

Gotta love those multisticks!
Hawty McBloggy ran across a fun series on machinima.com - check out 'Confirmed Kills' for some great Xbox LIVE plays. (Louis Wu 13:32:05 UTC)

Return to Sender - in 720p
Apologies for the delay - we've fallen behind on the release of the Halo 2 Hi-Def cutscenes, but the next one (Return to Sender) is now available. Once again, the link will give you a random selection from the mirror lists - hosts include Infectionist Machinima, bungie.org, and Wraith-Ops. Thanks, all! (Louis Wu 20:45:32 UTC)

The Return of the Sniper
Ultimate Dragon let us know that Sniper vs Noob Documentary #3 has been released - it's more a vehicle for showing off fun Forge ideas than a serious machinima, but it's nicely presented. Take a look! (Louis Wu 10:59:02 UTC)

The Halo CE Chronicles Comic
Getting into the screenshot-based comic game is Dennis Powers, who's creating a graphic novella about a couple of characters you'll see more of in the Season 5 machinima of The Halo CE Chronicles, currently in production. New episodes will be up once per week. (Details about the comic are here - the comic itself is here.) (Louis Wu 14:05:57 UTC)

I don't think that's what Louie was singing about.
DigitalPh33r has kicked off a new machinima series - 'It's a Wonderful LIVE, Episode 1' chronicles his experiences with other gamers, as affected by his Recon armor. Thanks, SPARTAN 294. (Louis Wu 02:26:00 UTC)

Halo 2 Cutscenes... now in Hi-Def
Sometimes things only get done here when people do them, and then tell us about it. Not long ago, HaLo2FrEeEk, of Infectionist Machinima, contacted us about some hi-def (720p) versions of the Halo 2 cutscenes he'd created, using Halo 2 PC. They were beautiful... and big. So we're sharing the load. If you visit the Halo 2 page of our Cutscene Library, you'll find a new option - HD (WMP9 or QuickTime). If the link says 'ci mirror list', clicking it will visit a load-balancing script on the Infectionist Machinima server, and point you to the best download option, spreading the bandwidth hit. (If the Infectionist Machinima website is offline, our local mirrors will still be available.) Because the files are so large, we're going to be releasing them slowly - right now, only the very first cutscene is up, but there'll be more as we see how big the demand is. Go see how good 'One Size Fits All' looks in high definition! Update: Thanks to Wraith7n, who's mirroring the two new HD files; his bandwidth will be added to the pool! (Louis Wu 17:33:47 UTC)

I'm hosting a 'take out my garbage' contest.
Blinding stopped by to announce a 'Forging Contest' - he's looking for a Forged map he can use to make machinima, and (for now, at least), the winner will get to have their map used in a Halo 3 machinima. (Eventually, if he makes enough money from Google's AdSense, he'll offer other goodies - but for now, it's the pride of winning.) Read all the details, including what he needs, in his forum post.

Recovery One, Part 1 - For Everyone
Back in November (well, starting in late October, I guess), Rooster Teeth posted a machinima series on Xbox Live Marketplace and on their website, for sponsors - Recovery One is a four-part series that follows up on Out of Mind, and expands the RvB universe. (It's considerably darker than the standard RvB fare.) It's now available for free for all on their website - if you haven't seen it, go watch Part 1! (Sponsors should visit, too - Director's Commentary for Part 1 has been posted, as well.) (Louis Wu 13:32:08 UTC)

A 21 Gun Salute... without the guns
I neglected to note its passing with an update... but Mythica.org officially went offline on Friday. (Thursday, for file downloads... but the site was still up on Friday.) Again, I'd like to thank Brian for his years of Halo community support - I don't think his influence on the success of Halo machinima can be overstated. (It's hard to appreciate that today, with resources like YouTube and GeeVee and Halo 3's theater mode... but when Mythica opened its doors to fans looking to share their work, bandwidth was EXPENSIVE, and there were very few options for people with just a movie or two.) Thanks, Brian! Mythica will be missed. (Louis Wu 16:30:05 UTC)

Symbiosis
Major Silva was the first to point out that Deus Ex Machina Episode 7 is now available on Machinima.com. DigitalPh33r's series continues in its odd progression... the numbers on the machinima.com page aren't right (they list a size of about 120mb, and a length of 27:31, when the episode is actually about 30 mb, and just over 16 minutes long), but you can download it there, or view it on YouTube (thanks, Vincent).

Martyrdom
discopete019 pointed out that Arby 'n' the Chief #5 is up on machinima.com - it's not terribly Halo-related (besides the characters, I suppose), but it's funny nonetheless. about 10 minutes long - go watch!

The Bag Boy
Eddy, from Smooth Few Films, let us know that The Bag Boy, a new Halo 3 machinima from the guys who brought you 'The Over-Achiever', is now up - you can download it from their website, or stream it from YouTube. An entertaining look at teabagging, from a father-son duo. (Louis Wu 20:55:52 UTC)

The Riot 87
Okay, internet connectivity isn't what I'd hoped it would be here. Sigafoos let us know yesterday that The Riot 87 was online - clan news, GTV's machinima contest, and info about playlists fill up 26 minutes and 10.5 mb. Go listen! (Louis Wu 20:52:28 UTC)

Arby 'n' Chief Episode 4
Spartan Jag was the first to notice that DigitalPh33r's Arby 'n' Chief Episode 4 was up at Machinima.com (you can also find it on YouTube - thanks, Vincent). Topical - it focuses on melee attacks, and how they work (or don't). Arby'll probably take less verbal abuse by the end of the month... (Louis Wu 13:38:07 UTC)

We are warriors.
Dream053 has worked on machinima before, as a voice actor; he wanted to try his hand as a producer. Check out his first stab. (Louis Wu 18:19:08 UTC)
