Showing Some Love… Again

May 17th, 2013 by halo@bungie.org
Back in July 2009, Carnage A51 (then known as OMFGCarnage) released a Halo 3-based Rube Goldberg machine which broke new ground. I liked it then - and I still like it now. He stopped by our forum to announce that he's remastered it (new soundtrack, higher-quality visuals), and re-released it; if you missed it the first time around, give it a look! Update: pete_the_duck recently reuploaded his, as well. It's a veritable Goldberg Cornucopia!(Louis Wu 17:32:41 UTC)
