RoP - Best Musical Score
That Weasel stopped by to announce that there would be four more pre-release awards ceremony vids for the Rockets on Prisoner awards this week. The first one is up now - it's Best Musical Score, and the download is available, as usual, in 3 formats, two sizes each. Go check out the nominees - and the winner! (Louis Wu 12:11:14 UTC)

Two more vids from H2F
Z pointed out another pair of vids for download at Halo2forum.com - there's a Halo 1 campaign montage from Steve the Plank (WMP9, 21.9 mb), and the 4th montage from DaY (WMP9, 81.4 mb). I found the torqued aspect ratio of the campaign vid to be hard to watch, but others liked the effects. The montage is lots and lots and lots of snipes. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 12:08:06 UTC)

Peter Jackson at X05 - now at GT
Nice. The taped Peter Jackson speech about how excited he is to be a part of the Halo movie, shown at X05 last week, is now available at GameTrailers.com - it's the same clip as JeuxFrance was serving, except without the JF watermark. You can grab it in QuickTime or WMP9 formats. Thanks, Mr.Cynical. (Louis Wu 20:53:51 UTC)

Clan Hops Ep 3 - now in QT, too
Yesterday, we mentioned Clan Hops Episode 3, a 12-minute-long jumping vid that originally appeared at High Impact Halo, and was released in hi-res form at halo2forum.com. Today, it passed our Movie Peer Review Rating System, so we're putting up a copy, as well. (The mid-size version passed, but there's no reason not to give you the high-res version, so I've snagged the copy that H2F was hosting as a base.) It's available in WMP9 format (61.2 mb), or QuickTime format (58.9 mb). It's long - but there are LOTS of cool jumps in there! (Louis Wu 19:39:48 UTC)

Death by Misadventure
Quikthnkr has put together a rather sizeable machinima - it's called Death by Misadventure, and it's just over 25 minutes long. It has a number of things going for it - kickass original music (John Gold's opening song 'Randy' is GREAT, and Katy Mae's 'Safe and Sound' was a snug fit for the end of the film), a solid plot, good filming and some fun humor. We're hosting BitTorrent downloads of the original WMP9 version of this film (95.2 mb) and a re-encoded QuickTime version (92.2 mb) - if you can play it, the quality on the WMP9 is better, though the QuickTime is certainly watchable. Please - remember to leave your BT windows open, to share the love! Update: If you want (or need) a direct download link for this (rather than a BitTorrent link), Roland has generously provided one (WMP9 version only). Update 2: Breakpoint has made a copy of the WMP9 available, as well. (Louis Wu 05:11:31 UTC)

New Vids at H2F
A couple of new vids over at Halo2Forums - ReMoRs3 created a vid using Dest's Halo 2 Custom Edition mod - it shows Halo-style weapons on Halo 2's Lockout. It's just ReMoRs3 running around - there's nobody to shoot - so you can't get a great sense for damage adjustments... but you can see the battle rifle turned into an assault rifle, and grenade triggers shifted back towards how they were in Halo. 29.4 mb, WMP9 format. There's also a high-res version of Clan Hops Episode 3 (lower-res versions were posted over at HIH a couple of days ago) - some great jumps. 61.2 mb, WMP9 format. Check 'em out!

Sponsors vs Freeloaders Ep 8: Fiat Justitia
Today's the day for Sponsors vs Freeloaders, I think. Last night, the trailer for Silver Stars/Purple Hearts was released - if you haven't grabbed it yet, hang tight. They've also just released Episode 8 of Sponsors vs Freeloaders - and WOW. GREAT cinematography, great effects (the coolest one is something you might not even notice as an effect - that's one of the things that makes it cool). The storyline continues to twist and turn, the acting is great. This series is turning into one of my favorites. The WMP9 version is up now on their website; it's pretty big (90 mb), partly because the episode is ten and a half minutes long, partly because they've tacked the SSPH trailer on to the end of it. Their site is being hit pretty hard, so I'm going to make the QT version available from our server until they get it under control - it's 88 mb. If what you really wanted was the SSPH trailer alone, in QT format - I'll put THAT up, temporarily, too (though you really should grab SvF 8, because it rocks). Both of these will eventually be available from the SvF/SSPH sites, and when they are, I'll pull the temp links. (And likely update this news post.) Go watch! (Louis Wu 17:57:21 UTC)

Silver Stars/Purple Hearts Trailer
Sevenar Productions and Panda Productions (groups that make up a large chunk of the Sponsors vs Freeloaders crew) have teamed up to create a new, fusion machinima; Silver Stars/Purple Hearts is a blend of Halo CE and EA's The Sims 2, and tells the story of Project ATHENA, a nearly all-woman team of enhanced SPARTANS. (If you've watched any of the last few episodes of Sponsors vs Freeloaders, you've met four of these women already.) Cinematic quality is very, very high, as Halo machinima goes; the trailer is 1:45 long, and does an awesome job of drawing you in. Available in WMP9 format (12.3 mb) from the SSPH server, a QuickTime format version should be up by tomorrow ... check this one out. You won't regret it. Update: A mirror of the WMP9 version, as well as a streaming QT version, can be found at machinima.com. (Louis Wu 07:03:50 UTC)

The Hard Stop
Red vs Blue episode 63 is up now for sponsors - it'll be up for everyone late Wednesday night. (As Burnie says, it's either a few days late, or a week and a half early, depending on how you view RvB's 'time warp' database accident of last week.) Tucker gets in a bit of trouble for playing with the wrong toys, Simmons learns to hate value-added communications services, and Tex makes a deal with Andy. Fun stuff all around! Just over 5 minutes long - go grab a copy! (Louis Wu 09:28:51 UTC)

Halo fans like their movies
Dennis Powers wrote to point out a milestone over at the Halo CE Chronicles - over 50,000 downloads of the series (and counting). Nice! If you haven't seen it, and don't feel like downloading each episode of Season 1 individually, he's re-released the season in two chunks; episodes 1-5 in one file, and episodes 6-9 in a second. Go look! (Louis Wu 12:39:33 UTC)

Direct Download Mirrors for MGS
There are a number of direct download mirrors popping up for the Metal Gear Solid movie we released yesterday (though with reported download speeds in excess of 1 mbps, you might be better off with the BitTorrent links for now) - That Weasel has put up mirrors of both versions, and Roland dropped off a mirror for the WMP9 version. Given that these are out there, we'll add our own - here's one for the WMP9, another for the QuickTime. (For those who wonder, yes, we really do like the BitTorrent bandwidth savings; in the 18 hours since this video was released, something over 50 GB of it has been served to the public; HBO accounted for only 30 GB of that. If we reduced our output by 20GB every 18 hours, we'd save almost a terabyte every month. Not too
shabby!) (Louis Wu 13:11:39 UTC)

Comes in four flavors, two sizes each for WMP9 and QuickTime. Download it, and see who won the Award for Best Trailer! (Louis Wu 12:58:22 UTC)

UnReal and Halzred, together
The next step in montages - now we have trailers for upcoming montages at the beginning. I'm just waiting for the animated popcorn and candy clip... over at Halo2Forum.com, you can download UnReal's first montage (lots of sniping, lots of sticking), and it comes with a trailer for Halzred's Montage 3 tacked onto the front. The whole thing weighs in at 94 mb, WMP9 format. While you're there, you can grab a copy of MADDOG's Montage Trailer, a mix of Halo and Halo 2 footage, weighing in at just under 38 mb (WMP9 format). Thanks, Z. (Louis Wu 12:56:58 UTC)

Metal Gear Solid (Halo Style)
Wow. Jamie98s has put up a bunch of movies over the last four months - but this one might be my favorite. It's called Metal Gear Solid, and it's (as might be expected) a story starring Solid Snake, from the MGS series. Jamie's plot description: "Solid Snake is deployed to a secret miltary base to disarm a nuclear warhead and destroy a top secret project known as Metal Gear." Audio is from MGS, video is all Halo (with a few special effects thrown in). Fantastic job - simply fantastic. It's rather large (107 mb in WMP9 format, 100 mb in QuickTime format), because it's rather long (32 and a half minutes), so we're starting it off as a BitTorrent download. You can grab the WMP9 torrent or the QT one - your choice. We're also providing quite a bit of seed bandwidth (2000 kB/sec per torrent), so downloads should be speedy, and should STAY speedy if early downloaders leave BitTorrent open after they've gotten a copy. In a day or two, we'll provide direct download links, as well, for folks who can't handle BT. Enjoy it - I sure did. (Louis Wu 22:17:16 UTC)

Kickin' it, old-school.
So last night, Ducain pointed out a post he'd made over at High Impact Halo, giving props to WLT, a trickster who managed to put not one, but TWO hogs on top of one of the Blue Beam towers in the level Halo... along with himself. It's one of those totally useless, totally amazing tricks that just makes you want to giggle. We're hosting copies of the film, to save on WLT's bandwidth - you can grab the vid in its original WMP9 format (18.9 mb) or a re-encoded QuickTime (19.3 mb). Halo is nearly 4 years old. Halo 2 is almost a year old. And there are STILL people spending inordinate amounts of time setting up, and executing, new demonstrations of Halo physics fun. (Louis Wu 15:30:39 UTC)

I'm a GOOD guy!
This Spartan Life has added another video blog entry - it's a dispatch from the Bodyguard Competition (part 1, actually). During the competition to see who'll make the best bodyguard, the cameraman has a really hard time staying alive - you gotta wonder about a bunch of applicants for a bodyguard position have trouble telling the difference between friendlies and hostiles... Pretty funny - go watch. (WMP9 coming later today, the next couple of parts of the competition coming in the next two weeks.) (Louis Wu 12:22:09 UTC)

SCLegendary, Less than Four
A month ago, we posted a sub-4-minute Silent Cartographer speedrun from insidi0us - the only thing that SLIGHTLY drew away from its awesomeness was the fact that it was run on Normal, instead of Legendary. He's fixed that. He uses roughly the same tricks to shave time off on this run as he did on the last one, with one exception - there's a grenade jump just after picking up the invisibility that's simply beautiful in its time-savingness. He panics a bit near the end, I think... but the last overshield holds until the checkpoint, and he comes in at 3:54 - amazing. We're hosting copies of both his original WMP9 version (33.2 mb) and a re-encoded QuickTime version (34.8 mb) - if you like speedruns, grab this one! (Louis Wu 15:45:36 UTC)

The Stalker
StealthSniper22 created a 'new kind of montage' - it's called 'The Stalker', and it's composed entirely from real XBL Matchmaking Head-to-Head games. It's AMAZING how often his opponents don't notice him following them. (Or, in some cases, standing on their head...) It's hilarious. A lower-res (320x240, 22.3 mb) version can be found in this post, and a higher-res (640x480, 52 mb) version is linked in this post. Both are WMP9 format. (I'm willing to work on a QuickTime version if there's interest.) Go watch - and giggle. Update: Now available as a QuickTime, as well (480x360, 53.1 mb, smoothed a little bit). (Louis Wu 12:54:53 UTC)

Ode to the Zed Word
TychoVII sent word of a video he and some friends finished up over the summer. In his words, it's "a blend of the infamous Halo 2 gametype 'Zombies' and the movie 'Shaun of the Dead' using songs from the SOTD soundtrack." It's funny, well-filmed, and showed me a number of cool jumping tricks to use in my next game of Zombies. Quality is quite good. It's available from their server (QuickTime format, 63.7 mb, over 10 minutes long), though I'd host it in a heartbeat - it's definitely worth watching. Grab a copy, and enjoy! (Louis Wu 15:35:04 UTC)
