Punk'd - Halo Edition
CJC pointed out a video he found on the MLG forums - it's a takeoff of the MTV show 'Punk'd', where Ashton Kutcher plays practical jokes on celebrity friends. The Halo version has tricks played on unsuspecting XBL players. I watched the first couple - it's probably funnier if you're there. The vid is huge - 148 mb, WMP9 format (it's 13 minutes long)... hosted at FileFront, so bandwidth shouldn't be a huge problem. (Louis Wu 21:25:54 UTC)

Smaller version of Oddball at GGZ
Dennis Powers has posted a 320x240 WMP9 version of Bootstrap Boon's 'Oddball' - this one weighs in at 57.5 mb. If you haven't downloaded this yet, you can save 20 mb or so grabbing this one! (Louis Wu 21:11:50 UTC)

Gladiator Evolved
The second video offering we'd like to draw your attention to is something that passed the MPRRS yesterday. It was created by Andras Ostrom, It's called 'Gladiator Evolved', and it might be the best recreation of a movie scene in the Halo engine I've ever seen. The melding of audio from Gladiator and content from Halo 2 is astoundingly good; this movie covers the entire opening battle of the movie (all 12+ minutes of it), and it makes me want to go back and watch the real movie. Camera angles are awesome, timing is impeccable, appropriate choices for substitution are as perfect as I can imagine. This one's big (because it's 12:20 long)... but it's absolutely, positively worth the download. Grab it in its original QuickTime format (80.9 mb), or in WMP9 format (81.5 mb) - you won't regret it.

Securing the Perimeter
It seems that my news catch-up is going to need to wait until this afternoon; there's too much family stuff to handle this morning. Before starting the carpentry and gardening, though, there are a couple of video bits you should watch. If you're a Red vs Blue Sponsor (signups are available again - $10/6 months will get you all the goodness), you can grab Episode 60, 'Fight or Fright', is available for download. (That link will work for the public soon - probably tonight or tomorrow - but we won't be posting another link for it, just keep an eye on it.) The writing just continues to get better - I'm loving this season. Go watch - you know you want to. (Louis Wu 14:03:43 UTC)

Oddball
Bootstrap Boon is an HBO Helljumper who put together a long (21:39 long) story called 'Oddball' - it uses footage from a couple of multiplayer maps coupled with dialogue from the Dialogue Databank, all wrapped up with nice background music, to tell the story of a Spartan/Covenant conflict. It passed the MPRRS recently, so you can grab copies from our server. Warning: the original WMP9s are a bit off, aspect-wise. I asked BootStrap's brother about fixing this, and got no response - so you'll have to live with the problem. Also, the low-res WMP9 has screwed-up audio at the start - again, this is unfixable by me. The QuickTime versions (both low and medium res) do not have either of these problems. Grab the one that makes the most sense to you (please be gentle, these are huge, and we don't want to be poor next month):
- WMP9 Medium (856x480, 166.9 mb)
- WMP9 Small (428x240, 79.1 mb)
- QuickTime Medium (856x384, 138 mb)
- QuickTime Small (428x192, 66.6 mb)
Pretty ambitious work! (Louis Wu 07:56:33 UTC)

Legendary, no deaths - watch it
I hesitate to mention this, because the files are enormous... but hey, what the heck. A couple of weeks ago, we mentioned that Cody Miller had completed the Twin Galaxies Halo 2 Bounty - complete Halo 2 on Legendary difficulty, with no deaths... today, he posted a note that the finished run had been uploaded to archive.org. There are two versions - a low-res, 800 mb copy... and a higher-res, 2 gb copy. (Yes, you read that right, 2 gigabytes. It is, after all, three and a half hours long.) QuickTime format. Amazing. Simply amazing. He makes it look almost easy... Update: For those having trouble with a direct download of the larger file, we've made it available via BitTorrent as well (with a chunk of seed bandwidth to boot). Remember - this puppy's 2GB large.

Brownies
Eep - I didn't notice a Halo 1 montage by Llamaking over at Halo Planet - go watch for a lot of 3-shot pistol kills. (Louis Wu 17:27:19 UTC)

MLG Info Overload
As MLG gears up for Seattle this weekend, you can go read Dyslexia's review of MLG Nashville, held a couple of weeks ago. It's nearly a blow-by-blow of IGS Monglers fight to the top of the heap - check it out! And while we're on the subject of MLG, synide sent us a small (5.3 mb, WMP9 format), heavily-compressed clip of Sundance DiGiovanni on G4's Attack of the Show a couple of days ago - he talks about why MLG is different than its competition, and a bit about how Halo 2 is 'a step back' in competitive gaming. You can grab it from our server. (Louis Wu 13:04:15 UTC)

Lego Halo Movie Trailer available
Dillo pointed out that the teaser for Lego Halo film we mentioned a few days ago is now available for download - 2.3 mb, Real format. It doesn't show much - but it made me want to see the whole thing! The teaser mentioned that the film itself will be out in mid-October; here's hoping they stick to schedule! (Louis Wu 10:49:34 UTC)

Goose's Story
Bunker 27 Episode III, 'Goose's Story', passed the MPRRS last night - you can grab a copy in either WMP9 format (15.5 mb) or QuickTime format (15.3 mb). How many machinima pieces contain a hand-drawn storybook? Go watch. (Louis Wu 14:20:34 UTC)

Sharing
Dennis Powers writes to point out that Episode 18 of the Halo CE Chronicles, 'Sharing', is now available for download. It's available in WMP9 (30.7 mb), QuickTime (27.7 mb), or streaming Flash (11.2 mb) from the Season 2 Downloads page. A plot summary can be found here - and Dennis wanted to make sure that everyone watching realized this episode contains more individual violence than previous episodes; something to keep in mind if you've been watching the series with small children. A bit more of the relationship between the Spartan and the station AI becomes clear... while the search and rescue team continues its fight against the Covenant. Go watch! (Louis Wu 13:20:12 UTC)

Halo2Forum Montage Madness
Two new montages on Halo2Forum.com - both contain some pretty impressive gameplay. Both are WMP9 format. You can grab DaY's Montage from this thread (a hefty 148 mb), and OlManMakowski's Montage 2 from this one (48 mb). Lots and lots of double/triple kills, some Killtaculars, and a couple of longer strings. Go watch! (Louis Wu 13:10:20 UTC)

Buzzer Beater!
Red vs Blue Episode 59, 'Hunting Time', is now up for sponsors - 33-39 mb, depending on format. I gotta say... I'm LOVIN' Andy. Reds and Blues are separated again - and stuff is going on for both groups. Isn't this better than just fighting each other in a dead-end canyon? While you're over there, check the front page - Nico has posted three new downloadable songs, and asks that if you like them, you donate a little bit to the Katrina Relief effort. (They're great - do it.) (Louis Wu 01:40:32 UTC)

YouKnowItUh's Montage 2
Over at Halo2Forum.com, there's a new montage posted by YouKonwItUh - WMP9 format, 103 mb. Very heavy on the video effects. (Louis Wu 13:51:12 UTC)

How to make cutscenes in HaloCE
DHalo made a tutorial to help with basic cutscene making with scripts, using Halo Custom Edition - you can find a download link in this Gearbox forum thread. (The video is encoded using a Mac-incompatible codec; you'll need a PC to watch this. On the other hand, you'll need a PC to use HaloCE, so it's not such a big deal.) (Louis Wu 13:21:53 UTC)

Big Boys and Wicker Baskets
ChairLeg Productions continues with their Nephrons series; 'Nephrons - Minus Four' passed the MPRRS last night. Hugh is still insane, Mike is still in prison, the Blues are still better at insulting than the Reds. The reviewers liked the quality, the jokes (except for one reviewer, who found it 'quite boring' but passed it anyway), and the plot (except for those who didn't get it). British humor, you know. Or humour. Or something. Available in WMP9 (38.3 mb) or QuickTime (36.7 mb). (Louis Wu 12:37:37 UTC)

This Spartan Life Ep 2 kicks off
This Spartan Life has kicked off Episode 2 - module 1 (Opening and extended monologue) is up now. 28 mb in QuickTime format, 22 mb in WMP9 format. (The WMP9 link is actually not active on their site yet - but you can grab it from the GearboxGameZone website for now.) Hey - who couldn't love a talking shotgun? Guests in Episode 2 will be The Ill Clan (a machinima crew that has been making cool vids for years with the Quake engine(s)) and Marty O'Donnell from Bungie. Lance returns! (These folks aren't in this module - as with Episode 1, this episode will be broken up in to several modules, for ease of downloading.) Go watch. (Louis Wu 17:28:16 UTC)

It's ALL gone!
Okay, this one takes some explanation. A couple of weeks ago, vshields ash started exploring what happens when you overload the Halo engine during the fight with the Prophet of Regret. The first thing he discovered was he'd spawn new prophet chairs after the overload kicked in - he got up over 100 chairs before things broke down. (This thread documents his progress.) Then he went outside - and things were a little... empty. He described it - and then Duelies made a vid of the final cutscene. However, Duelies hadn't gone quite as far in the object overload field as Vern did - the Covenant cruiser, for example, was still around. Vern wanted everyone to see a TOTALLY empty scene - so he sent me a tape to digitize. You can grab it in QuickTime or WMP9 formats - roughly 10 mb each. Stuntmutt must get the credit (or the blame) for the music. (Louis Wu 16:57:36 UTC)

Taking one for the team
Another vid passed the MPRRS yesterday - it's called 'Taking one for the team', and it's Obie Brown's take on a sad, underappreciated job in Halo 2 multiplayer. It's pretty funny, with great musical integration. Obie is part of 'Lost Youth', a clan of 22 and up "geezers" that have seen one too many montages and wanted to do something different. You can grab a copy in WMP9 format (31 mb) or QuickTime format (31.9 mb). (Louis Wu 15:27:08 UTC)

Speedrunning SC, revisited
Last year, we hosted the Going Nowhere Fast competition - taking speedrunning to a new level. It inspired the creation of highspeedhalo.org, a website devoted to Halo speedruns. A couple of days ago, over on the MLG forums (you'll have to be registered to see that thread), insidi0us posted a new run for Silent Cartographer - and though he does it on Normal (rather than the GNF-required Legendary), he beat goatrope's GNF-winning time by 25 seconds - an astounding feat when the total time was just over 4 minutes to begin with. I was impressed enough with the run that I wrote up a short analysis of the places where he gains time over goatrope's run - and now that it's not the end of the month any more, we've got the bandwidth to host this puppy, so you can watch it, too. WMP9 version is 44.2 mb, QuickTime version is 46.6 mb. Thanks to l3Dl SHREK 2 for bringing this to my attention in the first place. (Louis Wu 17:10:32 UTC)

When The Truth Hurts, Violence Ensues.
Another vid for you that passed the MPRRS recently - it's called 'Boot Camp Short: Episode I.V - Attack of the Critics', and it's a nice shot at the MPRRS itself. (Well, sort of.) These guys submitted their first vid to the system - and it failed. Rather than rework it, however, or give up altogether, they decided to make a film showing what happens when a vid fails... it's a nice satire. The reviewers thought so, too - they passed it with flying colors. WMP9 version is 43.3 mb, QuickTime version is 39.8 mb. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 14:57:19 UTC)

Noobs Gone Wild 3
A couple of days ago, BoneKin's 'Noobs Gone Wild 3', a testament to the dumb stuff you can do in Halo 2 multiplay, passed our Movie Peer Review Rating System - but we were out of bandwidth, and couldn't really afford to put up mirrors yet. It's September, now, though, and we've gotten a fresh shipment of nice ripe bandwidth - so go grab a copy. It's available in both WMP9 format (47.8 mb) or QuickTime format (40.2 mb). The funniest parts are all the things that can go wrong with a plasma grenade... (Louis Wu 12:38:23 UTC)

Bow chicka bowwow...
Red vs Blue Episode 58 has officially kicked off Season 4 - it's now online for both sponsors (in Hi-res) and the general public (in low-res). Caboose is smarter than he looks. (Not much, but...) And Tucker... Tucker shows his true colors. 4:22, a great start to the season. 10 - 43.5 mb, depending on flavor. (Louis Wu 12:24:07 UTC)
