Blind Skull
There is a skull you can pick up (an easter egg from Bungie!) that creates the result.
This MUST have been designed for machinima...?

XBList is a Windows program written in C# that can display your Xbox Live Friends List in a buddy-list format. It is designed to be simple and unobtrusive. It also has some integration with Xbox.com to display Gamer Tiles and link to Gamer Card information, and Bungie.net to display Halo 2 information and player emblems. To use this program you must have an Xbox Live account, a Microsoft .NET Passport account, and an Xbox.com account. Your GamerTag must be linked to your Passport. No special setup is required - XBList should prompt you to log into Xbox.com using Internet Explorer once, then it should be on its way. Make sure to select "Save my e-mail address and password" at the Passport Login screen. If you don't it will never log in. There's a bit of fiddling about required, but I got it working and it really is great for seeing when people are on Xbox live. Buy it, buy it now!
No one likes to spend money in a crazy way.
But if you want to really kick it with the MDT productions version of Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, then you need the DVD. You need to buy your own. Really. http://www.madmaxmovies.com/films/compare/madmax2.html Do it, and do it now. Saturday, November 12, 2005Friday, November 11, 2005Friday night help...

Wednesday, November 09, 2005Character profiles
Here are some early character realisations. Colours are approximate in this context as the Halo 2 based screen shots have been auto levelled to make it easier to read. So, generally, they will be darker in colour.
Actor: Mel Gibson Character: 'Mad' Max Rockatansky/The Road Warrior In The Movie: ![]() ![]() ![]() Halo version: ![]() Movie weapon/s: Sawn Off Shotgun Halo weapon substitute: Standard Shotgun Notes: No black is available in Halo 2 - to stop you blending in too much. Steel is the closest colour. Non-Sawn off is good substitute. Vehicle is Warthog Tank going backwards with turret aimed low for tanker. Actor: Bruce Spence Character: Gyro Captain In The Movie: ![]() Halo version: ![]() Movie weapon/s: Crossbow Molotov cocktails Halo weapon substitute: Covenant Plasma rifle for crossbow Sticky grenades/rockets for molotov cocktails Notes: Banshee for Gyro copter.

Actor: Kjell Nilsson Character: Lord Humungous In The Movie: ![]() ![]() Halo version: ![]() Movie weapon/s: Scoped handgun Spear-ish thing Halo weapon substitute: Battle rifle. Thougha standard magnum may have to do- the scope in Halo 2 has disappeared from the handun, so the magnum may have to suffice. Spear... plasma pistol charged? Or perhaps brute shot?

Donny, Premium, Marky and I started work on the remake today. We messed about for over an hour for... Ohh 40 seconds of footage! This was all about getting started. Camera work is hard. I will have to change my controller sensitivity to stop last second "jiggle".
Execution on Turf Premium had to shoot Donny in the head as Donny ran past. Sounds easy? Well he had to 1/ Have his gun lowered (you lower your gun by pressing down on D Pad) and then 2/ raise it (zoom) and then 3/ hit the head shot at a running target. Did it and did it well. Kept reloading after each hit- as is his habit. Well done Premium. Here's where we shot it: ![]() Opening close up on relic This scene: ![]() Our version: ![]() Discoveries include:
