Halo 2 HD - in progress
Jean-Luc (who's been rendering Halo images for quite some time) stopped by last night to announce an ambitious project; he plans to recreate the Halo cutscenes (all three games) in HD, with completely redone graphics and animation. His post contains some stills to show you 'an approximation of quality' - and I must say, if he pulls this off, it will be very, very cool indeed. Go see! (Louis Wu 10:00:54 UTC)

Forerunner Terminal Network Archives - Now Online
It's been a long time coming... but HBO is proud to announce that the Forerunner Terminal Network Archives are now online. You can read a history of this project on our forum - thanks go out to the recording crew (OboeCrazy, nico, bebop gastulum, and Venom Kitetsu), for collecting the info needed to create the downloadable movies, and Capt Spanish, for his amazing interface and painstaking transcriptions.

Prelude: An Aural Prologue
Dream053 announced an upcoming machinima project - that's being preceded by a 'prologue', focusing on a story of bonds and brotherhood amongst the Elites. He's released an audio clip that sounds promising! Go listen. (Louis Wu 14:37:02 UTC)

Double XP SWAT Weekend Live Now
Bungie has announced that this weekend's Double XP playlist will be SWAT - and that it's live, now. (XerxdeeJ... LIVE is calling you!) This is the last SWAT weekend - and your last chance to play SWAT unranked; when it comes back in May, it'll be a full-time playlist, and it will be ranked. Go shoot! (Louis Wu 21:32:38 UTC)

Legendary and More
DigitalPh33r has posted Arby 'n' the Chief Episode 8, over at Machinima.com - it's a look at the Legendary Map Pack, and it's got some funny moments. (Thanks, SPARTAN 294.) If you swing by his blog, you'll see other news - he's done with It's a Wonderful Live, and the series finale for Deus Ex Machina is getting delayed until it's as good as he can make it. (Currently, he's shooting for 'late May'.) There's other news, as well - check it out if you like his work! (Louis Wu 17:40:19 UTC)

X-Play's Sarkathlon 2: Recon Challenge
Mr Sark dropped us a note with details about X-Play's Sarkathlon 2: Recon Challenge (it was on last night's show). It takes place on Avalanche, and the object is to get through the course as quickly as possible and be holding eight grenades when you cross the finish line. The winning time will earn its submitter a set of Recon armor. The full instructions are in the video linked above, but to make things a little bit easier, here's a link to Mr Sark's Fileshare. Grab Sarkathlon2-VIP (the gametype), Sarkathlon2-Map (the map - duh), and Sarkathlon2-Tut (a tutorial showing you what you need to do). You've got two weeks - submissions must be in by Friday, May 2. Next week's show will have a leaderboard, showing off the best times submitted to that point, and the winner will be announced on air on Friday, May 2. Get practicing! (Louis Wu 14:40:50 UTC)

Floaty Silence 4 - Climax of Boredom
Hellhawk announced Floaty Silence 4 - Climax of Boredom a couple of days ago, I decided to wait until I could watch it to announce it. I'm glad I did; it's a pretty funny reenactment of the Crow's Nest opening cutscene. Go watch it! (Louis Wu 12:24:41 UTC)

Superheroes
AytonHunter stopped by to announce that Halopen has released 'Superheroes', a 30-minute machinima project. (There's no way I can watch a 30 minute film on this connection while out of town - so watch it yourself, and add your review to AytonHunter's thread!) (Louis Wu 20:17:22 UTC)

Game with Fame: Avenged Sevenfold
Wow, bizarre. On this day when the Legendary Map Pack is released, Xbox.com has scheduled a DIFFERENT Halo 3-multiplayer activity - there's a Game With Fame set up with the band Avenged Sevenfold. If you want to play, you need to send a Friend Request (assuming there's still space) to one of two gamertags listed on the announcement page before 8 pm ET tonight. (Louis Wu 18:32:54 UTC)

Vidtacular
I'm out of town, so news might be slow for a couple of days - but it's amazing how many movies were announced today. I can't even watch most of them, so you're on your own in terms of quality (you might be able to get some idea from the respective forum posts):
- Vash10 pointed out a video called 'Diamondback', showing highlights of an epic game of CTF on a Forged version of Avalanche. This one I watched - fantastic.
- AoD Deadite announced the Dispatch Custom Game Night #2 video - games played last week.
- Howlingwolf came by with news of a trailer for 82nd Airborne.
- Phatcorns told us about a montage put together from a single Neutral Assault game on Standoff - lots of kills, no win. (Nice timing with the music, though.)
- Z sent along a link to Im'ma Shine, a hard-to-classify montage-like video. (I haven't been able to watch this yet.)
That should be enough to keep you watching for a bit... (Louis Wu 04:28:14 UTC)

Marathon Man - A New Beginning
Sniper2477 stopped by to announce Marathon Man - "A New Beginning", the latest episode of his ongoing machinima. I had a little trouble with the story, and one gratuitously silly scene, but otherwise a fine effort. (Louis Wu 15:37:36 UTC)

Red vs Blue: Reconstruction
The Rooster Teeth crew have announced a new machinima series - Reconstruction. These guys will show you why they're the best-known Halo machinimators out there - the trailer looks fantastic, and should leave you drooling for the first episode. This one definitely looks more serious than the original RvB series (though Burnie says "don't let appearances fool you") - it's more along the lines (so far) of the Recovery One miniseries. Go watch it on their site, or download it in QT or WMV formats - and get ready! Thanks to Alloran, who was first to let us know. (Louis Wu 18:02:33 UTC)

be Human in Hull
zukan stopped by to announce that his 'be Human' machinima (it won a special award in our Zune contest last year) will be featured in the upcoming Hull Short Film Festival in mid-April. If you live nearby, go watch! (Random Hull quote: "There's music on every corner, even if it's just coming out of the local record shops." If you can place that, you get a cookie.)

Halo: Divide of the Covenant
Casters Realm has news of 'Halo: Divide of the Covenant', a Halo MMO. (Here's a hint, for folks creating April Fools posts in the future - don't use artwork from existing Halo projects if you want to be taken even a LITTLE bit seriously.) Thanks, gunluva. (Louis Wu 20:26:06 UTC)

Halo 3, Legendary, No Deaths
A couple of years ago, Cody Miller announced that he'd finished Halo 2 on Legendary difficulty, with no deaths - if you wanted to watch it in a reasonably viewable form, you had to download a two-gigabyte file. A couple of days ago, we were contacted by SPDN p0iz3n0us, who's now done the same thing for Halo 3 - but thanks to Bungie's built-in assets, the downloads are much smaller, and you don't have to take his word for it. Swing by his fileshare for 9 downloads, one of each level of Halo 3. All are done on Legendary, all are done with the Iron Skull on. (For those who don't pay close attention to Skulls, the Iron Skull resets you back to the beginning of the level each time you die - so if you finish the level with it on, you've successfully completed it with no deaths.) Theater mode rocks! Update: Cody Miller pointed out (rightly) that this accomplishment is not really analogous to his Halo 2 run, since the levels were not done in one sitting. Apologies to anyone who feels betrayed by my neglect in including this info from the start. (SPDN p0iz3n0us never claimed it was a single runthrough - just that he'd completed all 9 levels on Legendary without dying. Any confusion was my fault. For what it's worth, I'm STILL impressed; this is the first such set of runs I've seen.) (Louis Wu 13:16:35 UTC)

Grifball Hijinx
QuikThnkr let us know that there are two grifball-related goodies for you to listen to or watch: Week 1 Episode of the Grifball Explosion podcast is up and ready for download - guests included trigger119, who announced that GamingTV would be broadcasting some matches live, with commentary, in the upcoming season... and American Dream has put together a second training video celebrating the start of the Spring Season. (They did this in advance of a big match last season, but we didn't highlight it.) (Louis Wu 13:45:30 UTC)

Consequences - Pilot
FireDragon04 stopped by to announce that Episode One - Pilot of his new machinima, 'Consequences: Hyperions Vengeance', is now available for download. Swing by his website for links. Characters are great, voice acting is (mostly) great, story is a little hard to follow. (Mostly because the hologram is completely unintelligible, I think.) Quality is a little shakey, but not so much that the film's unwatchable. Cinematography's quite nice. Go see! (Louis Wu 18:34:56 UTC)
