Halo Base interviews Cody Miller
Legend, from Halo Base, sent word about an interview with Cody Miller, the Halo world speedrunning champion (heh). It's primarily a discussion of his 3 and a half hour Legendary No-Deaths run that won this year's Twin Galaxies challenge - it's a fascinating read! (The Halo Base staff confused Cody with Mike Miller at one point, and Cody didn't correct them directly, but otherwise, they got it right on.) It's available in both English and German - read the one that's easier for you! (Louis Wu 21:00:15 UTC)

Local Boy Makes Good
Looks like Cody Miller's Legendary No-Deaths Halo 2 run (which won the Twin Galaxies Halo 2 Bounty earlier this year) has made the 2007 Guinness Book of World Records! Very cool. Thanks, Grande Carne. (Louis Wu 22:44:27 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.

Now THAT is amazing.
We've mentioned the Twin Galaxies Legendary Run competition a couple of times before - yesterday, Cody Miller posted on our forum that he'd completed the challenge: Halo 2 on Legendary, with no deaths. All I can say is... wow. Read his post for details. (Louis Wu 19:50:25 UTC)

Update on Twin Galaxies contest
Back in January, we mentioned a cash prize given out by Twin Galaxies (a game-ranking site) for a Legendary speedrun of Halo 2. HALOChat wrote to point out that the prize has increased (from $150 to $250), and a new 'Special Rule' has been instated - the Envy skull (which gives permanent invisibility) cannot be used. (This would suggest, however, that OTHER skulls CAN be used... hmm. Sputnik, anyone?) You'll find the bounty on their Rules page - it's Bounty (105), and I found it on page 10.

Cash prize for Legendary Speedrun
Twin Galaxies (a site devoted to game rankings) has issued a new collection of 'bounties' - cash prizes for gaming feats. One is Halo 2-related: complete Halo 2 on Legendary (faster than anyone else), win $150. Payout date is January 31, 2006, so there's plenty of time to hone your skills. Full details can be found on their contest page. (The Halo 2 challenge is Bounty (105).) Several people noted this - Jonah was first. (Louis Wu 11:36:59 UTC)
