I don't remember that commercial, but I do remember a nVidia commercial about Halo..."When me and my crew crash-landed on Halo, we had to fight off the Covenant, but we were always confident because we had the power of nVidia" or something. lol!

That was before I really knew what Halo was, and I thought it was impossible that those graphics weren't pre-rendered.

Boy how things change; now the poor GTS can barely put up a decent framerate on Halo. It was a cool commercial though.:p

haha, the graphics sure got better, but I really wish the Warthog had been that fast in the real game.

Uhh..the graphics really didn't get THAT much better. Not considering the time between the first expected release and its final release by MS. If bungie hadn't been bought out, the game wouldve been out earlier, ran better, etc..

For some reason I can't get the movies to play. I go to the links and it loads the page but then nothing happens. Am I just being stupid or what?

Right-click, save as.

PS Damn Microsoft; they just had to steal what would have been the premiere Mac game of all time

It's making a comeback for Halo 2 :) Multiplayer at least, but it would be cool to pwn with it in the real game.

Thanks for the links.

No I am not :). I remember watching the very first video from a macworld live internet stream, and being amazed. I knew where to go to find the videos again, so I decided to link them up for you guys.

They are being hosted by...

Welcome to Mythica.org ,This is the front page of Mythica.org. Mythica primarily hosts a lot of files, most of which are not very interesting outside of the context of the sites they're being linked from, and so there's not a whole lot to see here. If you continue, you are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Yeah, everything was gonna be glorious...

Can't say I wouldn't do what Bungie did though. I know they got a lot of money.
