Siva (W'rk)'s Halo video, How I Learned To Stop Playing And Love The Halo video is now available here on the Rampancy website.
The way to my heart is through metal music and Halo. After seeing Siva (W'rk)'s How I Stopped Playing And Learned To Love The Halo, Khen Rigzin took his footage, modified it a bit, and put in a new music track of his own. He then posted a link here on Rampancy to inform the world. If you liked Siva's version, there's absolutely no reason to miss Khen Rigzin's.
We've got yet another masterpiece on our hands, folks. Siva (W'rk) has created an intense video displaying many moments of pure adrenaline during Halo's single player campaign as Napalm Death's Incendiary Incoming song flows seamlessly with the action. I have another name for this video, For Testosterone Apply Within.
The Banshee Flare movie has been added to our Halo Movies page and is now available for download from the website as well as the Hotline server.
I kid you not. Toalmaster made a tea pot modeled after a Hunter from Halo and has posted several pictures in the Marathon's Story forum. (Thanks HBO)
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.
Lophan pointed out a Bloomberg story over in the HBO forum in which a company called Immersion is claiming that Microsoft and Sony are both infringing on patents it owns on force feedback technology.
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.
