  • New Montage Offerings at H3F

    in

    Z pointed out a couple of fun montage vids over at Halo3Forum.com – Typo’s First Montage (123 mb, WMP9 format) has tons of nice gameplay strung together well, and GuN Sh0t’s Montage 2 Trailer is a short (90 second, 28 mb, WMP9 format) hi-intensity trailer leaving you wanting more. Apparently, there are many more to…

  • Jarhead Halo

    The second movie to clear yesterday was a trailer called ‘Jarhead Halo’ – Cydex took the Jarhead trailer, and set it to Halo footage. Resolution leaves something to be desired these days, but it’s a nice piece of work; well synched. WMP9 is 10.3 mb, QuickTime is 9.3 mb.(Louis Wu 16:22:55 UTC)

  • Elite vs Elite 4

    A couple of movies passed through the MPRRS yesterday – you KNOW I’m sick if I can’t keep up with THOSE guys! (I kid, I kid – they’ve been great recently.) The first was Elite vs Elite 4, another short Spy vs Spy parody. Great sound effects – keep an eye on EternalScrappy! Grab this…

    Wow, things are REALLY slipping through the cracks. Yesterday’s One One Se7en got 75% of the way through the news posting process – but no further. I guess I passed out there somewhere. Anyway, it’s up now. Apologies for the delay. I suppose, after reading it, some of you might choose to send me nasty…

  • RT: Beyond the Veil

    Boo! Everyone in the office has a holiday they go crazy for, like Matt with Thanksgiving, or Burnie with Tax Day. Mine however, is Halloween! I go absolutely crazy for it, and get completely immersed in the spirit. I go to pumpkin carving contests, haunted…

  • RT: Lifelong Fan

    Dear Sports Fans, Congratulations on surviving the most boring World Series of all time. If the 2007 series is this lame, I think we should take a hard look at adopting Cricket. I hear it’s all the rage in India. BTW, Episode 81 is out for sponsors. P.S….

    We’ve received multiple reports that local Barnes and Noble booksellers have gotten early shipments of Ghosts of Onyx – if you’re lucky, you might find one in your area, too!(Louis Wu 06:53:48 UTC)

    Red vs Blue Episode 81, Sibling Arrivalries, is now available for download by Sponsors – I’m lovin’ the new character. If you’re a freeloader, you can grab this (as usual) on Sunday evening or so – otherwise, grab a copy now. Thanks to LX925, who pointed it out on our forum.(Louis Wu 06:51:20 UTC)

    This puppy passed through my inbox today – I’m having trouble visualizing a situation where I didn’t think I’d thrown away $400 if I bought one, but one man’s trash…(Louis Wu 06:49:49 UTC)

    The Bungie Weekly Update discussed some Halo 3 matchmaking tests (cool to see that sort of thing happening at this stage), and commented on (sort of) a couple of the Halo news bits that came out this week. Light, but hey, they’re busy guys! You can read it at B.net, of course, or you can…

  • Bungie Weekly Update

    Oh noes! Damage control! Scans from a Euro mag leaked today, showing the first ever multiplayer shots of a Halo 3 alpha build. Chaos ensues. Anyway, we touch on that and discuss the state of multiplayer matchmaking in Halo 3. Hurrah for stress.

    For a long time, Miguel Chavez was known as ‘Bungie’s Number One Fan’ – self-titled, originally, I think, but easily justified. Mig was there on the forefront of every news wave – coming back with his own special spin about the newest development in the Bungie world. Of late, he hasn’t been around all that…

    PEZ was pretty proud to be featured twice over at Tied the Leader – the second time came in the form of a 22 Questions interview. Way to go, PEZ! (While you’re there, you should read the wrapup on Podcasting, too – been a good week!)(Louis Wu 20:15:42 UTC)
