Many times, what we do here is just for the fun of it, and nothing illustrates this better than this quick little video by slYnki. It's an old-school Halo 1 tower launch, decorated with some bells and whistles. I think you'll enjoy it.

There's a new trick video archive up for your enjoyment, in this case one that's been needed for some time. We still have to mirror a number of the videos, but no reason to keep you from it, so check out the new archive for grumpy and Kratos.

JTuck says, "Jump Theory has amazed everyone once again. They have gone into a whole new level with the jumps that are showcased in Look Before You Leap 3, which can be found in this thread. The creativity and quality of the jumps displayed in this video are like nothing ever seen before. In addition to the mind-blowing jumps, Look Before You Leap 3 also contains superb cinematography and wonderful editing."

Guys, JTuck wasn't late on this - I was - sorry. Nonetheless - enjoy.

AllShallPerish says, "Head over to this forum thread and check out the newest ODST launching video, called 'Gravity = Drag' by 'Terminal Velocity'! It includes some very unique and outstanding launches and combined with the crystal clear quality and editing, this video is definetly worth the watch. Oh and that last launch....you don't want to miss that!"

Well done!

Grumpy says, "POTS spoke of 'The Prestige' in tricking, meaning if you get up somewhere, you must get back down and HB sa' lamee did that here in Regret. There's more tricks in this variety vid so check it out.

In a separate thread he utilized one of dantheman87's mobile nade piles for an SP BAW and a great launch in the Nexus room on Quarantine Zone that even impressed KORHL.

Bring us back to life with your show of support, HB worked his tail off on these."

Excellent stuff.

Anyone hear of this new pokemon roaming around the net? Well We finally caught one with this weeks (cough* months) lottery winner. A wild Pillowchub has appeared to tell us all about life as a pokemon, or maybe a digimon I'm not quite sure to be honest.

If there are any more wild pokemon roaming around these parts of the internet head over the the user lottery and enter here if you haven't already done so.

If you haven't already done so, head over to Bungie.net to play/download the Halo Reach campaign trailer unveiled at E3. Stunning. You'll watch it many times, but the end is what made me do a double-take. Wow - can't wait.

Not sure if this has been posted all over creation, but I found this to be a cool concept. Muzza posted a video showing how armor lock was used to force objects through map boundaries (mostly the floor). Regardless of whether this is fixed in the final game, it's an interesting find.

HaLo2FrEeEk created another one of his interactive panoramas for the final Reach Beta map Overlook. Again, amazing stuff.

HaLo2FrEeEk has whipped up a couple of jaw-dropping interactive panoramas using the Halo Reach Beta maps. Absolutely beautiful stuff here. There are two versions currently available - one for Sword Base, and a second for Boneyard. he even created screensavers for you guys! This is definitely worth a few minutes of your time.
