Nah, it was a Covenant ship. Sorry, fixed. Crazy tired when I wrote that.

Still am, actually. :lol

Nice write-up, Ghaleon.

Man, I should've gone. the things I do for these crazy Canadians.

I'll be home late Thursday, at which time I will be able to soak up all of the new info, and all that. I will also share disturbing Canada stories, including the tale of a man dumping bottles of urine next to our car, as our welcome to Vancouver.

Oh man - awesome impressions Ghaleon - and if I didn't have such a headache from lack of sleep, I'd read that gigantic impressions story that Cuckoo posted as well - guess it'll have to wait till I get back!

The epic impressions above are from this thread, and only half were posted.

Looks like Drew was at the second session, as they played further than in our demo. They showed different stuff in Forge as well; we didn't see the Flamethrower in action, for example. Pretty cool that they mixed it up for the two groups.

How do I post thumbnails?

So I'm assuming that the video is the next in line of Weta created shorts (live action & CG elements.) Looks hot.

Kubricks, front and back. Sorry for the crummy pics. Each guy comes with two SMGs and a Battle Rifle. Cute little buggers. :D

Thanks again, Luke.

Hey thanks Ghaleon for the great writeup earlier, better than any of the stuff written by the media thus far.

Also, that video is really fucking cool, if they get greenlit by a major studio that allows the director to maintain creative control the Halo movie could end up being as epic as the game.

Is that vid from the movie or a cutscene in the game??

Don't mind me, I'm semi-retarded right now. Didn't sleep much last night.

It's from a series of shorts being produced set in the Halo universe. Not in game.

Well, not nothing. Impressions and a promise of official footage to come. But yeah, no shitty offscreen crap.

Of course. Did you think the well was dry? The marketing machine is just warmed up. Metaphor mixology.

How can this be? Maybe Bungie ninjas cracked down? Everyone was in awe that they completely forgot to hit record?

Probably, because they're showing something at PAX, the same time as the BWU. :O

And then there's this exchange. Also, Frank made a point to mention that they took a Saved Film of the Tsavo Highway demo after it was over. I think official video is coming, sooner or later. My guess is sooner.

Edit: goddammit, Urk. :lol

Thanks for the pics of your Kubricks, btw, they're so cool.

I didn't bother bringing a camera. I am bringing it to PAX on Friday, though. (Along with several thousand others, of course.) Who knows what's going on there.

The guy next to me kept taking lots of shots with his iPhone and trying to talk to me. I'm like, look. I don't mean to be rude, but whatever you have to say is secondary to Frank's commentary and Marty's audio, k? (He was a nice guy, I just wasn't feeling chatty right then, ya know?) I saw at least a half dozen cell phone cameras held to chests with buttons clicking during the demo, so I'm assuming lots of shots are out there. Maybe everyone's just savoring them at home and not sharing them over the interwebz.

He went easy and kept the bold in his holster. It could have ended much, much worse for this hombre.
