Tristan and I have been getting in some multiplayer Halo 3 action of late, and here’s one of the more amusing outtakes :)

This was mostly an excuse to play with Bungie’s Pro account. Bungie run an excellent game tracking site for the Halo games, but with the Pro account you get the ability to take saved games and extract clips of them as movies via the website. On the XBox you can watch your most recent games and take screen shots (like the one below), and also save video clips, taken either from first person or using a controllable camera. With the pro account you can then upload the clips to Bungie’s website where they’ll be rendered to WMV files ready for you to download. It all works quite well, and the service must be amazing for wannabe machinima directors.
