Ask Sage Questions – without a NeoGAF acct

March 13th, 2010
The Q&A with Sage Merrill we mentioned yesterday wasn't a NeoGAF exclusive opportunity; Sketch just hadn't had time to post it elsewhere. He's posted on our forum as well, and if you have questions, add 'em to the thread! (Louis Wu 15:09:11 UTC)

Balls and Wet Stuff

March 13th, 2010
The Bungie Weekly Update went live a few hours ago - mostly, it's urk telling you about stuff you can't see yet. If you're interested in Reach's development, though, it's absolutely worth a read. And there are some very cool water assets included. You can, as always, read it in our Weekly Update Archive, if you choose.(Louis Wu 03:29:13 UTC)

Good Life

March 12th, 2010
urk has word of Good Life - a Halo 3 montage from Axilo and Stealthy. Very light touch on the editing effects; this one focuses on the carnage. Go watch. (Louis Wu 18:25:42 UTC)

March 12th, 2010
We last mentioned Cody Brigan's Halo tattoo back in December - he posted a new shot, and now it's got some color! It's not done yet, but it's looking pretty amazing.(Louis Wu 17:23:37 UTC)

Wait… isn’t that the guy…?

March 12th, 2010
Devin Olsen found a Hardcore Gamer's IQ Test - almost 500 video game characters, illustrated. A bunch of them are Halo-related. Can you name them all? (Not just the Halo ones - those are easy.)(Louis Wu 17:18:06 UTC)

Halo 2 Tribute

CrazedOne1988 put together a tribute to Halo 2, to say goodbye. I think we've seen this sort of thing a few times already... but it's good to be able to say goodbye.(Louis Wu 14:04:01 UTC)

Bungie… Aerospace?

March 12th, 2010
Not sure what this is all about - but Attack of the Fanboy noticed a new trademark by Bungie, for 'Bungie Aerospace' (no, they're not getting into the ship-building field; the registration itself mentions computer game software and hardware). Nice logo! What does it mean? Your guess is as good as ours! I found this at Rampancy.net, where Narc also included a link to a Blast story (which, in turn, has a link to an IGN story - the news is all the same, but the comments might be interesting.) There's also a thread on our own forum, if you want to join the conversation. And just to REALLY get the noodles revving, DeathBringer669, over at Bungie.net, also noticed that the MARATHON LOGO is the subject of a brand-new trademark, as well. (Thanks, Hedgemony.) Things that make you go hmm...(Louis Wu 14:02:03 UTC)

March 12th, 2010
Pepsi sent us a note about a new project undertaken by his HaloPC modding community, Halo Modding - they've overhauled Gephyrophobia with a space battle, water-filled pit, and lots of pretty eye-candy. There's a movie showing off the changes, as well as a download link for the new map, in this thread. If you like what you see, look around - the site's fully outfitted with all essential modding tools and lots of tutorials!(Louis Wu 14:01:12 UTC)
