Over at GameSetWatch a few days ago, there was an interview with Dispraiser, the leader of the Halogen crew, discussing the shutdown of their project by Bungie and Microsoft. It’s a pretty positive read, overall; they don’t sound too bitter about the situation, and it’s almost certain that SOMETHING will come out of the work they’ve done – just not something Halo-related. Keep your eyes open!(Louis Wu 15:14:56 UTC)

Spartans in San Francisco
Saturday Night must be movie night. We’ve got one more for you… then it’s off to bed. This Spartan Life whipped up a new Video Blog (Blog 6), showing off their trip to San Francisco this summer. Awesome cameo by Marty O’Donnell. (This went up yesterday, but I thought we were waiting for a WMP9 version before announcing it. Apparently not – so it’s QuickTime only. 11.6 mb.)(Louis Wu 02:59:10 UTC)

Hell Sounds
Incogneto45 submitted ‘Hell Sounds’ to the MPRRS – it’s a clip from the Art Bell radio show ‘Coast to Coast’, filmed in Halo. A little odd, yeah… but nicely done! Available in WMP9 format (16.2 mb) or QuickTime format (15 mb).(Louis Wu 02:56:03 UTC)

Lost: Halostyle Ep 8 – Stale Mate
Lost: Halostyle Episode 8, ‘Stale Mate’, passed the MPRRS today – they’ve kept the humor, increased the polish of the production, added some pretty neat effects. Great work – funny episode! Go watch. 43.9 mb in WMP9 format, 44.9 mb in QuickTime format.(Louis Wu 02:40:23 UTC)

Private 724
Evan Ryan, of Krad Productions, sent us a link to a movie he’d made – It’s called ‘Private 724’, and you can find it at FileFront. (There’s a version at Machinima.com, as well – but it’s just a draft render; the FileFront version is the final. If the Machinima page says “36 mb”, it hasn’t been swapped yet.) An uneasy truce explodes from a single misunderstanding… there is no dialogue in this video, but it doesn’t suffer a bit from the absence. Powerful cinematography… give it a look! 43 mb, in WMP9 format.(Louis Wu 02:14:27 UTC)

Marathon Logo in Qatar
Schedonnardus noticed a banner that shows up on the main page of the Texas A&M University Campus in Qatar which shows a building which shows a building that contains a design that looks a lot like the Marathon logo. (This really belongs on the Marathon’s Story page… but Hamish isn’t really updating that any more, so I’m posting this. It doesn’t mean I’m gonna post the next 50, though.)(Louis Wu 21:44:17 UTC)

H2Vista.net, and the Yoyorast Island Race Contest
TheGhost wrote to remind people about the Yoyorast Island Race Contest – we mentioned it a couple of weeks ago, but it’s since moved to a more permanent home, at H2Vista.net. TheGhost would also like to encourage anyone who is interested in Halo 2 Vista modding or map making to sign up at the forums.(Louis Wu 21:32:32 UTC)

Halo-Battle
CupiD-082 pointed out Halo-Battle, a Halo-themed MMO-RTS based on the online game Ogame. It’s being developed by French fans, so the website is currently in French – but they’re planning on making the final version bilingual. Check ’em out! (In light of the recent events surrounding Halogen, we should make clear that we’re not publicizing this without the permission of the crew.)(Louis Wu 13:55:46 UTC)
