• Halo Legends – Anime Shorts

  The Los Angeles Times has a story this morning about the blending of the roles of Hollywood and the game industry – and it reveals some of the material to be announced at the San Diego Comic-Con later today:

  Microsoft is producing seven short films titled “Halo Legends” in the anime style. Five production houses in Japan are handling the physical animation, but Microsoft’s creative staff is approving major visual and storytelling decisions, O’Connor said.

  You can swing by this LA Times blog post for more details on the project, and a couple of examples of the artwork involved. (The post also confirms that the rumored internal name of the studio, ‘343 Industries’, is indeed accurate.) There’s no word yet on when these videos will be shown… or where. Look for much more information to be released later today! (Looks like resplendentvole found this at Kotaku earlier this morning. Our forum seems to be cautiously optimistic, though there is definitely some hatred for anime.)(Louis Wu 12:07:27 UTC)

• Dimension X, Season 3, Episode 1

  CROSSFIRE stopped in with word of a new season of Dimension X, the machinima series from Blood Signature Films. (I’d never seen these before – but apparently the first season was almost 5 years ago.) The cinematography on this new material is quite good, and the story is intriguing. The three parts of Episode 1 are hefty downloads (700 mb for the lot), but you can stream them if the downloads are too much. (Louis Wu 12:06:23 UTC)

  Lots of videos for you to watch, courtesy of the BungLog™:

• ChrisOfTheDead is back with Shenanigans 5 – it’s like previous Shenanigans, but different. (Well, different clips, anyway.) Music by Electric Six this time out.
• The VLU put together a LoLtage. The music they used was from the A-Team… I’m thinking they’d have been better off with the soundtrack from F-Troop.
• Shadierliam shows off a different way to the top of the Crow’s Nest lift. (Doesn’t seem to gain you much, but it IS some nice jumping.)
• JonCJG has released a teaser for the next Arby ‘n’ the Chief – short, a little scary.

Should keep you busy for a bit…(Louis Wu 18:19:08 UTC)
