Yes, I know I’m very late on this subject, but playing with the screenshot mode on Halo 3: ODST has made me remember that I’d like to talk about this. The entire Theatre mode of Halo 3 was an absolute genius masterstroke. Given the amount of people who use the internet as well as play games on their consoles, it was only a matter of time before the two crossed over. It automatically saves films of the matches you have, then you can go back and watch them at a later date to learn from your mistakes, save small clips of your best moments, and of course, take screenshots. Any screenshots you take, provided you are connected to Xbox Live are automatically uploaded to Bungie.net where you can access them, edit their meta data, save them for your own use, or just arrange them into a nice gallery. I probably spend as much time watching replays as I do actually playing the game to be honest, finding the right angle for a screenie or cutting a clip to put on my File Share. You can search Bungie.net for the latest, highest rated, or the most appropriate (using tags) screenshots, and it’s great fun just having a look and seeing what everyone else is up to. In a perfect world, every single game should have at least a screenshot mode, if not a full Theatre mode for watching replays. Now, here are some of my screenshots.  Take that, Mongoose man!  Rockets, baby!  Sometimes racing is more fun than killing You can find all of my screenshots here, and if you want to see what other moments our members have immortalised, the screenshot thread on Random Fury is here. More to come when I’ve played a bit of ODST. This little-known Prodigy track was released between The Fat of the Land and Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned and definitely has that unmistakable Prodigy vibe from the Firestarted/Breathe era, doesn’t it? Thing is though, Liam felt it was too like the previous stuff, publicly disowned it, and went off in a totally different direction. Well, it sounds nothing like anything on AONU, does it? I think it’s an absolutely awesome tune by The Prodigy, even if The Prodigy themselves don’t like it! Have a listen for yourself and see what you think.
*Yes, a Doctor Who reference. Sillysprout has decided to close Poopgang. The exact reasons are complex, but the basic jist is that some members weren’t happy at the level of administration being done by the man in green, so Aneurin demanded that Sprout handed control of the forum over to him or he’d take half the community elsewhere. Sprouty declined, citing that they were not the actions of someone he’d like to hand Poopgang over to, so half the community went, and Sprout really had no option other than to close Poopgang. The community does live on, here: http://www.grcade.com/index.php I think this is a massive, massive shame. I had a great time on Poopgang, and on the Funhouse forums before that. This is a sad day in internet history. Fun fact: Aneurin was banned from the Random Fury! forum in August 2007. |
