Year: 2006

Hellhawk turned in a comedy that uses stock (well, almost stock) cutscene footage, and some REALLY well-done voice acting, to create a pretty funny comedy vid he calls ‘Floaty Silence’. The MPRRS gave it a thumbs-up, and it had me laughing – grab it in WMP9 (39.4 mb) or QuickTime (42.4 mb) formats, and check…

On Monday, we posted a link for Talent’s Final Montage trailer, being hosted at Halo3Forum.com. Although there’s plenty of bandwidth for it there, Halzred submitted it to the MPRRS for feedback anyway – and they liked it, quite a lot. if you want the WMP9 version, you’re still welcome to grab it from H3F -…

Lot of movie stuff today; I went through the MPRRS database, looking for strays. I found a few, too. Most are either taken care of or in the PROCESS of being taken care of – but two are in limbo; I’ve sent the creators multiple emails each, with no response. All I can think of…

I missed this on Monday – but halomaps.org has instituted a rating system for maps; you can now vote for your favorite HaloCE creations, to help other people decide which maps are worth downloading. Take a look!(Louis Wu 04:24:09 UTC)

c0ld vengeance is back, with a new 3D screenshot (available, as usual, in both standard QuickTime format and QTVR format) – this time it’s the Master Chief, laying the smack down on the Prophet of Regret. Awesome pic! Go grab a copy.(Louis Wu 03:36:08 UTC)

Out of Mind is a Red vs Blue miniseries that launched on Xbox Live Marketplace in mid-June; it was suposed to be weekly (or nearly weekly), but it’s not until tonight that Episode 2 was released (thanks, HaloMarine117). If you don’t HAVE Xbox Live Marketplace – never fear. Rooster Teeth finally got permission (you might…

Something Awful has a Comedy Goldmine article up – forum regulars over there created posters for movies that starred videogame characters. The Master Chief turns up in two – Monster House and Reservoir Dogs. Thanks to DemanusFlint, who pointed these out – and I agree with him that the first one doesn’t make a lot…

Mintz waited patiently for us to let you know about some updates on Halo: Portable – a new podcast, a bunch of PSP-ready Bungie articles… we forgot, so he reminded us. So we’re telling you. Go read/listen.(Louis Wu 22:06:32 UTC)

The Video Games Live performance in Chicago is coming up soon – and a press release went out today; you can read it here. This is a great chance to meet Marty O’Donnell and Mike Salvatori – if you’re in Chicago this weekend, you should get yourself to the Rosemont Theatre on Saturday!(Louis Wu 21:56:14…

Cybrfrk found an older (10 months ago) EXTRALIFE comic that’s Halo-related… and pretty funny. Or it would be, if we didn’t see it played out on forums around the net…(Louis Wu 21:30:11 UTC)

One of the newest hires at Bungie is Cam Pinard, better known to the longtime Bungie fan community as Cunbelin. (In fact, you gotta be a REAL old-timer to recognize the name; he’s been mostly absent for a while.) KP sat down with him and got a few choice morsels out of his labyrinthine brain…

SEspider showed up with a new episode of Miniature Halo – you can read it in our forum (along with a movie poster for a movie that probably won’t be made), or in the Miniature Halo section.(Louis Wu 18:27:24 UTC)
