Piano Frenzy – A Halo Montage
You cannot watch this video.
Please Enter your Date of Birth
From Alex:This is a laid back Halo 3/Halo: Reach montage from Piano Frenzy, edited by himself, entitled “Lazarus.” This montage doesn’t show your traditional sniper/BR Multikills, instead focusing on more creative, unique plays that primarily revolve around trick jumping. The editing is very simple, consisting of cuts, angles, and clever clip storyboarding, but it gets the job done, placing a heavy emphasis on syncing. Lastly, the guy playing the piano is Piano Frenzy himself. Enjoy!

Halo: Faith – Sidelined?
thebruce0 stopped in with a link to a (currently live) podcast from Rex Sikes, on blogtalkradio, containing an interview with Jared Pelletier, the driver behind the Halo: Faith movie. I can’t figure out how to hear the relevant portion at the moment (will probably be easier once the live part is over), but according to thebruce0, Pelletier has said that the project no longer has a potential release, apparently because of an IP conflict. Bummer!(Louis Wu 17:18:30 UTC)

Halo: Agent of Anti-American Terrorism!
ChristWire has an article explaining how Halo is ruining our society. I laughed. (Hint: ChristWire is satire. Apparently, some folks who read this article don’t get that.) Hypertrooper was the first to post it where I could see it, but there’s also a thread on our own forum. This one must have been fun to write… (Louis Wu 15:10:10 UTC)
