  • Coming Not To Praise Tartarus, But To Bury Him

    So the Brute documentary is out. I’m going to stop using Bungie’s VIDOC or Video Documentary term, because I really couldn’t think of any other kind of documentary except perhaps for film, and since George Lucas says film is dead and HD Video is the way to go, I suppose it’s redundant. Certain pockets of…

  • Halo 2 Main Theme For Piano

    I was taking another look at some of the sheet music earlier and I noticed that there was no Halo 2 theme. So I decided to transcribe it. The format is again only for Finale Notepad but will be available in PDF shortly. I also added “The Maw” transcription done by Poop Scoop to the…

    We got word from trigger119 that GamingTV is holding a video intro contest – make them a cool intro, win stuff. More details are in this post at GTV!(Louis Wu 22:33:42 UTC)

  • 720p downloadable Vidocs

    by

    in

    There’s a news post further down the page with links to web versions of the Brute Vidoc – but I thought a separate note was warranted for 720p versions (1280×720). You can find them at both TeamXbox (WMP9, 232 mb – thanks, MasterChief2829) and GameVideos.com (WMP9, 478 mb, QuickTime, 577 mb – thanks, giga). High-res…

  • In-Fusio and MS – mad at each other

    by

    in

    Mercury noticed an article at the Inquirer – looks like In-Fusio is suing Microsoft over Halo; the claim is that Microsoft is thwarting In-Fusio from developing the product, but demanding payment anyway. End result for us? No Halo on your cell phone, at least for now. Bummer!(Louis Wu 21:32:11 UTC)

  • This… is… MARTA!

    in

    Frankie has updated the news post from last night, which mentions the Brute Vidoc, to include a short question and answer session answering your most-asked questions. And he added in some great pics to try and distract you from the fact that he’s got no more screenshots for you. Go read!(Louis Wu 21:17:34 UTC)

    Paul Maestri hasn’t had a chance to see the Brutes ViDoc yet – I think it might be getting to him. Check today’s Halo Heads.(Louis Wu 17:03:49 UTC)

  • Brute Vid online, lots of places

    by

    in

    For folks who don’t have a 360, or Xbox Live… the Halo 3 ViDoc ‘Et Tu, Brute?’ is available at millions of places across the web. (Well, okay, not millions. But a lot.) There are 640×360 versions at GameVideos.com (thanks, z77) and Xboxyde (thanks, Urk). There’s a 428×240 version at JeuxFrance (thanks, Xavier De Coster).…

  • Art inspired by the Halo 3 Ad for sale

    in

    Pavel Dolgov (we’ve mentioned him before) has created an 8×10 painting inspired by the Halo 3 ad – you can view it on eBay. The auction ends on December 29. If you like his work, remember that he takes commissions.(Louis Wu 15:34:19 UTC)

  • Libertyville Halo – studio video

    by

    in

    We’ve mentioned the Libertyville Halo performance a few times now (it first came up in September, and we posted a higher-quality recording a couple of weeks ago) – now there’s a video to go with the studio audio. Eastbeast314 found a version on YouTube, and DarkHelmet found it on Break.com. Go watch!(Louis Wu 15:30:50 UTC)

  • MLG Pro Circuit, Online Tourney

    by

    in

    Over at MLGPro.com, you can watch Week 6 of the MLG Pro Circuit if you missed it on USA last weekend, and there’s an update for the MLG Online tourney. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 15:27:00 UTC)

  • Halo Outkastz Trailer

    by

    in

    Deekor sent word of a teaser for the upcoming Halo Outkatz series (stop by their website for more info). Mythica’s got a QuickTime link, and there’s a YouTube version. It’s very short – but it made me laugh. Give it a look!(Louis Wu 15:21:30 UTC)

  • Jungle Trigonometry: Food

    in

    The big news today is going to be the Brutes documentary released on Xbox Live Marketplace earlier this morning, and we’ll certainly get to that – but there’s a bunch of other Halo goodness that yearns to be free, as well. First up – trigger119 is hosting, over at GamingTV.org, a new vid from SodaGod,…

  • Heads Up

    MereCatfish provided us with this early capture from Bungie’s 7-minute-long Brute documentary. This one shows (along with an Elite and various lines of fire and information about local terrain) alterations made to the heads-up display, with the shield strength bar separated from the motion detector and placed dead center, straight up. What appear to be…
