Tucker Knows Best
Red vs Blue episode 94 is out now for sponsors, in two flavors - 250k and 400k bitrates. As they come down the home stretch, they're back to their roots - and the result is glorious. I just watched this in a room full of people, with headphones plugged into the laptop; the laugh-out-loud moments freaked several folks out. (In retrospect, I suppose letting them HEAR the jokes would have been nice...) If you're not a sponsor, this should be available by Monday or so. Thanks, darthbob. (Louis Wu 13:04:14 UTC)

Consorting with the Enemy
I posted this last night (Funkmon noticed it) - but somehow, the news post vanished. Thanks to J23 for getting me to look again. Once again - Edgeworks has posted Episode 5 of the Heretic; the Praetor draws suspicion upon himself during the search for the Heretic. Voice acting continues to be superlative, cinematography is fantastic. Grab a copy in either WMP9 or QuickTime formats; this story continues to impress. (Louis Wu 03:53:33 UTC)

Body Count
This Spartan Life has posted Module 5 of Episode 4 - Body Count. This time around, it's a debate between Ann Coulter, queen of neocons, and Tom Anderson, founder of MySpace, over the validity (and usefulness) of the Patriot Act. (The actual topic description is 'Homeland Security Vs. Civil Liberties'.) We try to stay out of politics here at HBO (there's a strict ban on political discussion on our forum), but when rocket launchers are involved... well, it can be pretty entertaining. Available (as always) in QuickTime and WMP9 formats. (Louis Wu 06:08:45 UTC)

Legolas releases enormous montage
MLGPro.com has a story about a ridiculously long (and large) montage from one of its pro gamers - Legolas has released 'My Side of the Story', a 24 minutes, 373 mb vid. It's not ALL gameplay - there are movie clips, commentary screens, and other tidbits interspersed - but it does seem a bit... excessive. If you've got the time, there are a few download links in the forum post MLG directs you to (you have to be a member there to read it). Tyger and 3Suns both let us know about this. Update: Apparently, the use of the word 'pro' with respect to Legolas (who is a very active MLG forum member, and a participant on the Pro Circuit, but not a 'pro', since he doesn't have a contract with MLG) has bothered some people. My sincere apologies - and if you have any other concerns, please see KP. (Louis Wu 09:28:50 UTC)

Shadows of the Ancients Ep 1
Laird sent this along yesterday, but I forgot to post it; he found an interesting piece of Halo machinima on YouTube. It's called 'Shadows of the Ancients: Episode 1- Two Arrivals', and it was created by SpartanJedi360. Nice effects, decent storyline - give it a watch! (Louis Wu 19:21:59 UTC)

Help me get down!
Jamie98s let us know about his latest music video - this one's set to the Killers' "Why do I keep counting?" Great filming, as usual; awesome shots, cool effects, and (something a lot of Halo music vids seem to forget to do) action that's actually synched to both the music and the lyrics. Check it out! Available in WMP9 format (35.3 mb) or QuickTime format (33.3 mb). (Louis Wu 15:09:10 UTC)

Chase Scene
Nabsuh is learning Lightwave; what better way to check his skillz than by rendering a Halo space scene? Check out this animation short - A Covenant Assault Carrier chases a Halcyon-class Cruiser. Vids are about 2.2 mb each. (Louis Wu 15:01:31 UTC)

Pod TV Ep 9
Kiaffex dropped in to point out Podtacular's 'Pod TV Episode 9: Superjumps and Glitching'; I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense to actually DEMONSTRATE how to do something that Bungie's identified as cheating... but as long as you're not doing it in MatchMaking, I guess we're fine. Available in iPod-compatible .mp4 and YouTube versions. (Louis Wu 15:52:42 UTC)

How to set up a LANfest
Zerowind117 put together a short documentary about setting up a LANfest - specifically a Halo 2 LANfest. Video is hosted at Google. Take a look. (Louis Wu 18:00:08 UTC)

VGL - in Connecticut
Last night, I was lucky enough to find myself at the Video Games Live concert that was performed at Yale University's Woolsey Hall. Great music, for a couple of hours... and then the piece de resistance - the standard Halo theme, followed immediately by the Halo 3 'Finish The Fight' piece. Miguel Chavez was able to get these two pieces on film - well, on his digital camera. Quality is limited, of course (what can you expect from a digital camera?) but it still is worth watching. Almost 8 minutes, 22 mb in QuickTime or WMP9 formats. (He also put up a copy at YouTube.) (DHalo, from our forum, was there too - he wrote up his account, as well.) Check it out! Update: And now Miguel's writeup. (Louis Wu 22:21:38 UTC)

Energy Episode 4: The Aeros
Simply Greg stopped by to point out Energy Episode 4: The Aeros - we're getting a glimpse at the bigger picture. This is available in quite a few formats - check his forum post for details. (Louis Wu 14:47:55 UTC)

Cops and Robbers: Robbers Unite
We got word from bndud that a trailer for 'Cops and Robbers: Robbers Unite' has been released - swing by their website to grab a copy (2:19, 22 mb, WMP9 format). THe ywant to make clear they're not an RvB ripoff, even though their color scheme is Red and Blue. Cinematography looks good - release is on April 5, here's hoping for a good run!

Biting the Hand
Red vs Episode 93 has now been posted for sponsors. (As always, it'll be up for the general public in a few days.) This won't make a lot of sense if you've never watched the Out of Mind series they posted on Marketplace last year; all 5 episodes are available in their video archive, if you haven't seen them yet. Also, the Reds find some stuff. And accidentally make fun of Bungie's storytelling techniques. (Louis Wu 12:07:45 UTC)

The Voices Trailer
QuickTactical pointed out a trailer for 'The Voices', a machinima series coming out in a few months. It's... odd. (Louis Wu 11:18:44 UTC)

The Five O'Clock Guru Episode 1
trigger119, over at GamingTV, pointed out a new video from the Machine Enema crew - it's called 'The Five O'Clock Guru Episode 1', and it's... out there. REALLY out there. It's hilarious - but it's not what you expect. Pesto might turn out to be the best Halo machinima character since RvB's Tex. The episode is nearly 12 minutes long; our mirrors (WMP9 | QuickTime) weigh in at 56.1 mb and 53.2 mb, respectively. I wish there were versions with a larger screensize! The effects are those you've come to expect from Machine Enema productions, the voice acting is fantastic, the humor is bizarre and rip-roaring. Go download!

Custom Halo Theme in Guitar Hero II
In early April, Guitar Hero II will be released for the Xbox 360, and speculation has it that the Halo theme will be available for play (possibly as an unlockable). Someone didn't want to wait - over at GameTrailers, you can see a custom version of the song done on the PS2 version of the game. Pretty cool! Thanks, MasterChief2829. (Louis Wu 15:29:03 UTC)

In the hole
Sluty bk stopped by to point out a video he'd posted on YouTube; forum reaction was quite positive. (I'm not sure I 'got' it.) See for yourself! (Louis Wu 13:04:02 UTC)

What Not To Do In Halo 2
Black Aye pointed out a new film by a new machinima clan, Mystik Films. Go see what they're up to. (Louis Wu 15:26:32 UTC)

The Ultimate Halo Showdown
Glasser stopped by to mention a vid he'd made - he set 'The Ultimate Showdown' (a song created for a popular Newgrounds Flash) to Halo action. Interesting cuts; all footage comes from cutscenes, but the sync with the song is quite good. The vid is available at YouTube. (Louis Wu 12:23:58 UTC)

Promiscuous Girl
Turtle Mann dropped into our forum to point out a music video he'd made, setting Nelly Furtado's 'Promiscuous Girl' to Halo action. Nice editing, heavy use of filters and effects - take a look! 66 mb in QuickTime format, 60 mb in WMP9 format. (Louis Wu 10:22:01 UTC)

Fantasy Halo Part Two
Wow. We just a few hours ago learned of Fantasy Halo - and Part Two has now been released. (Granted, Part One was released 3 days before anyone told us about it, but still...) Part Two (Original Chaos Films link | HaloGrid link) is for the most part a story-telling episode, so the RPG style doesn't work quite as well (there's a lot of standing around, a lot of reading) - but it's still well-done, and makes me want to see part 3. Again, we're mirroring the WMP9 version (12:17 long, 53.8 mb), and are providing a QuickTime version (53.4 mb) - and again, you're better off with the WMP9 if you can watch it. Thanks to FinalCutHalo for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 01:41:53 UTC)

RvB Episode 92 Director's Commentary
Rooster Teeth has posted Episode 92 with Director's Commentary for sponsors - swing by to see how they did some of the trickier shots in that episode! Good stuff. (Heh - how long until some of this pops up in a dozen Halo machinima pieces?) (Louis Wu 02:00:52 UTC)

Rendezvous
Edgeworks Entertainment has released Episode 4 of The Heretic - we're back to the Spartan side of the story, and things are heating up. An orbital MAC platform is invaded, and the Spartans are needed to save the day. Available, as usual, in hi-res QuickTime and WMP9 from their site, this one will remind you why Edgeworks is one of the most respected names in Halo machinima. Fantastic angles, ingenious use of props and locations... this one's a must-see. Thanks, Funkmon. (Louis Wu 12:49:10 UTC)

SiR Tyner's First Montage
Z pointed out a new montage from SiR Tyner over at Halo3Forum.com - lots of great gameplay, but I gotta say, I hated the logo stamped over the top left corner, it really distracted me. If you can be more flexible than me, it's a fun watch - 7:47 long, 107 mb, WMP9 format. (Louis Wu 11:58:53 UTC)

Triforce - Trailer
Yesterday, Dojorkan mentioned 'Triforce', a new video series coming from the Promethian Guard. They might have been a little loose with their attributions, but their enthusiasm can't be denied. Go grab the trailer - it weighs in at about 20 mb. (Louis Wu 11:07:01 UTC)
