YAHV (Yet Another Halo Video) has hit the web and calls for your attention. FrogBlast has posted the Banshee Flare video in the HBO forum. It's not nearly as long as the two other popular Halo videos; this one's short and sweet.

There is now a local copy of What Goes Up here on the Rampancy.net website as well as the hotline server.

There's no dispute that the original Warthog Jump video was a success, but now Aikidoka and Halorigin are looking to upstage it with their new clip titled What Goes Up. In the original Warthog Jump, R. Glass used a few grenades and a rocket launcher to give the Warthog its lift. This definitely did the job, but Aikidoka and Halorigin figured that 53 grenades would work a little better.

They were right.

This is just to note that downloads of the now infamous Warthog Jump movie from Rampancy.net have just passed 17,000. And not to worry, we won't be pulling this mirror for any reason as long as there is demand.

Truth & Reconciliation has had a couple updates today, beginning with an interview with Rob McLees. Some may be unfamiliar with his name, but McLees is a veteran Bungie employee who has contributed many art and story elements to the company's fantastic game library.

Matt posted an item in HBO's forum about the impending reopening of the Bungie Store, as well as the Halo Soundtrack:

TeamXbox is reporting that the IGDA (International Game Developers Association) has announced the nominees for their 2001 Game Developers Choice Awards, which will be awarded March 19 - 23 in San Jose, CA.

Halo was nominated for Game of the Year as well as for excellence in Audio and Programming categories. Halo was conspicuously absent from the visual arts category.

Another gaming site I had no idea existed before now, Four Fat Chicks, has posted a Halo review by Dan Benge. Here's what Benge has to say in conclusion:

By now you've certainly seen Randy Glass' Warthog launch video and may have even attempted to emulate his performance yourself. Without instruction, this may be more difficult than you would expect.

Bungie has posted No7orius's walkthrough of Pillar Of Autumn on Legendary difficulty at Truth & Reconciliation.

HBO has finally finished setting up its press scans section, which features scans of forty magazines from all over the world. The press scans basically serve as an archive of older Halo material, such as previews and reviews, so they don't get lost in the void of time.

It's Cortana Day over at www.bungie.net. The first item of interest is an interview with Jen Taylor, voice of Cortana. Head over to the Truth & Reconciliation site and you will find that the storyboards for the X60 cutscene (which feature Cortana) have been added.

Randy Glass has put together various clips of him messing around with Halo's physics in the hands-down funniest video on the Internet. I'm at a loss of words, so I'll just provide you with links to the video:

Skeletor noticed over inthe HBO forum that the Truth and Reconciliation site has been updated; specifically, voice outtakes for the Grunt characters by Joseph Staten as well as a new Bungie Soapbox Rant by the same, entitled,

There has been an awful lot of talk about playing Xbox (and other console) titles on a VGA monitor. So, to save you the trouble I've rounded up at least three solutions which may please you... even if little Timmy may not be able to get his braces this month. Funny how these things have a way of adding up, idn't it? ;-)

Or.... some would say that you could just wait for the Mac/PC version to get VGA play. Maybe, but can they avoid being spoiled to death before that time? ;-)
