Hungry Hungry Hippos
Broken Console has returned to their ongoing series, The Squadron - Episode 17, "I'm Not With Him", is available for download from their website in WMP9 format (32.5 mb). The humans are once again outnumbered - but not outmatched. Go watch! (You can grab a QuickTime version - 26.9 mb - from us if you need it.) (Louis Wu 19:14:18 UTC)

Conquest, Part 1
More news that has nothing to do with Halo 3: Broken Console, the team behind 'The Squadron', has released Conquest, Part 1. It's a pretty massive piece of work; 21 minutes long, more than 120 mb in hi-res format - it tells the story of an attack on a pair of UESC ships, the Conquest and the Endeavor, and the subsequent aftermath; voice acting is great, cinematography is great, mods are used in pretty clever ways. Overall, a fantastic first half of a pretty cool miniseries. We're offering BC mirroring, because this puppy is big - you can grab the full-size versions (640x480) if you've got a larger pipe, or a half-size version (320x240) if 125 mb is too much for you.
WMP9: High Res (127 MB) | Low Res (67.1 mb)
QuickTime: High Res (124 MB) | Low Res (69.5 mb)
Most of these versions are available on the Broken Console site as well (links there are probably faster for EU residents). (Louis Wu 13:49:13 UTC)

April Fools - the Wrapup
So, yeah. It's April 2... which means the silliness that is April 1 is over again, for another year. For those who might be more optimistic than discerning, the following stories were (for better or worse) not real: Halo on the PSP, Halo - the MMO, One One Se7en: the Book (I think), The Squadron Ep 17, Halo for the DS, the Helljumpers' pink makeover, the silly Xboxic story, and Halo 2 on OSX. Everything else was legit. If you wondered why HBO didn't seem to do anything this year (even the MMO press release wasn't ours - Ross Mills wrote that), it's pretty silly - we DID do something, but it got spoiled at the last minute by someone posting it on our forum. I didn't have any time left to paper over the damage - so it was easier to just pass on it. Seems silly to totally waste the work, though - c0ld, KP and I spent a goodly chunk of time on it (some of us more than others)... so you can view it here, for posterity. It ain't perfect... but it was sort of fun. Maybe next year we'll have better luck. (Louis Wu 03:59:10 UTC)

Frenchy
Broken Console has made The Squadron Episode 16 ('Frenchy') available to the public; go grab a copy in WMP9 format from their downloads page, or the QuickTime from our server. Lots of preparation... lots of setbacks. Sometimes I weep for humans. (Louis Wu 05:35:40 UTC)

The Squadron, Episode 15 released
Broken Console has released episode 15 of the Squadron - 'My Bum Hurts'; the human soldiers once again prove themselves insanely stupid, but decent shots. You can grab it in WMP9 format from the BC website (link above) or in QuickTime from us. Your mom's a sheep. (Louis Wu 23:34:36 UTC)

The Squadron 14 - Poxy41
The Squadron Ep 14 has been released - you can grab the WMP9 version (20 mb) on Broken Console's site, or the QuickTime (22 mb) from us. I can't tell you much about it - I'm on my way out the door - but based on past episodes, it's likely worth the download! (Louis Wu 19:31:54 UTC)

Going for a Jump
Broken Console Productions' The Squadron, Episode 12, is now up for the public; you can find the WMP9 version on their website, and I guess we've become the default host for the QuickTime version. (Both weigh in at a bit over 12 mb.) This ep has the humans fighting for their lives on Terminal - one wonders when we'll run out of soldiers! Good cinematography, as usual. (Beautiful train splatter near the start.) Go watch! (Louis Wu 19:04:43 UTC)

They Won Again
AnubisUK sends word that The Squadron, Episode 11 has been posted on their website. Because of bandwidth issues, they're looking for a new home - and for that reason aren't interested in hosting QuickTime versions until after the move, it seems, so you can grab the QT from us (27.8 mb). (WMP9 is available from their site.) Humans are still on the run, though Durge is called on the carpet for how long it's taking to exterminate them. Go watch; this series continues to evolve, and filmmaking qualities are quite good. (Louis Wu 15:33:37 UTC)

Squadron Ep 4 Posted
Broken Console Productions has posted Episode 4 of The Squadron - 'Your Mom's An Episode'. It was fun - go watch it. Because of bandwidth issues, they've begun accepting sponsors - toss 'em £10 and you're a sponsor for a year. (That link contains details about what you get, as well as how to go about it.) The vid is currently available in WMP9 format, but a QuickTime link should be up soon. (Louis Wu 21:21:20 UTC)

The Squadron, Ep 3 posted
Broken Console has posted Episode 3 of The Squadron - it's called 'Dinosaurs and Clones'. Pretty nice work, overall! You can grab a WMP9 version (22.6 mb) at their site... and we're hosting a QuickTime version (21.6 mb) for them (because AnubisUK disappeared before he could get it linked on his own site). Comments can go in AnubisUK's thread on our forum. Update: The QuickTime is now at their site, as well. (Louis Wu 14:00:11 UTC)

Interview with a Star: AnubisUK
Nirvana pointed out a new feature running on his website - he calls it 'Interview with a Star'. The first installment is an interview with AnubisUK, one of the team behind Broken Console Productions, whose ongoing project is The Squadron. Give it a read to see where Anubis gets his inspiration, and what he feels is good - and bad - about Halo movie making! (Louis Wu 20:53:39 UTC)

GearboxGameZone movie info
Dennis Powers writes to point out that GearboxGameZone has mirrored The Squadron videos, and has added over 20 new Halo vids in the past two days, including most of the videos available on the "This Spartan Life" website (and a bunch that aren't - there are now WMP9-encoded versions of the first 5 episodes). Go see what you can find! (Louis Wu 22:48:38 UTC)
