I didn’t want to front-page this without permission from MMaster – but a few days ago, when we posted his remake of the All-American Rejects music vid, I took a few minutes and composited MMaster’s version with the original, just to give folks a sense for how closely he tried to match his source material. As my forum post says, some of the synch issues are my fault (there aren’t a lot, in any case; it’s a pretty nice fit!), and you have to put up with QuickTime format if you want to watch it… but I thought it did a nice job of showing the lengths MMaster went to to match the original vid. I finally heard back from him that it was okay to post this – so I’m posting this.(Louis Wu 12:21:01 UTC)

WSVG Preliminary Rounds Over
GotFrag has scores up from the first few rounds of the WSVG Intel Summer Championships, as well as seeding for the final round. As they mention, Final Boss didn’t show here, so no matter WHO wins, there’s no way to claim total superiority. More gaming this weekend!(Louis Wu 12:15:14 UTC)

I miss Jim Henson.
It’s not the first time this song has been used in a Halo video (I think our own Cybrfrk gets that credit), but it’s a pretty funny movie in its own right – swing by Halo3Forum.com and grab a copy of Muhna Muhna (77 mb, WMP9 format) – it should make you smile.(Louis Wu 12:00:11 UTC)

They have weekend Slip N’ Slide Tourneys?
Late, but hey… it’s Friday. A few hours ago, Frankie posted the Bungie Weekly Update – not a lot to say, except that the Halo Graphic Novel is actually done (w00t!), and a really cool pic from it has been posted. Well, there’s a little more. Go read. (Or read it here, in our Weekly Update Archive.)(Louis Wu 04:21:29 UTC)

Miller Pack, installment 1: Halo Legend
8:32 Minutes
Mike Miller is a great Halo player. Over the years, he’s put out five of the most memorable Halo videos I’ve ever seen, and we, at Halo: Portable, have decided to release the whole set.
First up is Halo Legend. This movie is much, MUCH better if you don’t know what’s going to happen. The movie starts slow, but quickly speeds up, and includes, as Louis Wu says, “The Best Gold Elite Kill Ever.” This is a must watch, especially the credits at the end.
Next time: In Too Deep.
PSP – 38MB 
Pocket PC – 21MB 
iPod – 25MB

Ramping Up The Playability.
Bungie took note of things that didn’t work in Halo, and came up with alternatives in Halo 2. Stuntmutt comments on one such alternative in today’s One One Se7en. Groan protectors – ON!(Louis Wu 13:00:59 UTC)

Friday’s Fanfic
16 new pieces (stories and poems) up in the Fan Fiction section today; two would have been deleted, but I thought they might help submitters remember that the formatting pseudocode is case-sensitive. Enjoy!(Louis Wu 12:24:59 UTC)

7 Rings to rule them all
c0ld vengeance has ANOTHER 3d screenshot for you today; this one shows the 7 Halos from the hologram at the end of Great Journey. The standard QT movie lets you spin around them, while the QTVR version gives you a great view from any angle. QuickTime required, and be patient – this one’s a bit larger than most (5-6 mb, depending on the version you pick). If you choose to see the QTVR version in-browser, the controls will remain greyed-out until the whole file is downloaded, so just hang on.(Louis Wu 11:50:40 UTC)

RvB in the Daily News
Just Passing By noticed a small writeup of RvB in the New York Daily News – pretty mainstream stuff!(Louis Wu 04:09:02 UTC)

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaambunctious
This week’s Halo Humpday Challenge was against the Cayote Cavegirls – if you don’t know who they are, the writeup starts off with an interview of their lader [sic]. The overall result – a tie, no matter how KP tries to spin it; this brings Bungie’s not-losing streak to 3. (Of course, their winning streak – of one – ended two matches ago, but who’s really counting?) Go read the whole writeup – I missed this when it was posted, but Pazicles picked it up.(Louis Wu 03:51:39 UTC)

Fan-sponsored Wallpaper Contest
Over at Bungie.net, there’s href=”http://www.bungie.net/News/Story.aspx?cid=8539″>a news story about a Wallpaper contest; it’s not specifically geared to Halo, but I’m guessing the majority of the entries will be Halo-related. (Small) cash prizes available for the winners – read the post (and the linked forum thread) for more details.(Louis Wu 03:41:16 UTC)
