    3Suns points out a feature at Kotaku – an interview with Keiji Inafune, a longtime Capcom bigwig who’s currently working on Lost Planet. “I really wanted to do something as cool as Halo. I’m a big Halo fan, but not well know in Japan. It’s very interesting, but very American. But we wanted to do…

    After reading about it’s release, I decided to check out the new Halo Portal service, now available to US Verizon Wireless customers with Get it Now-enabled cellphones. Details: There are three available packages, priced at $2.49, $5.99 and $9.49 (1, 3 or 5 uses, respectively). You can access wallpapers, ringtones, check your game stats and…

    ImmortalThree writes to let us know that Podtacular Episode 83 is up – with guest hosts Damian and Fyb3roptik, from This Spartan Life. They’ve also got a new Myspace page up… check ’em out!(Louis Wu 17:41:44 UTC)

    Next Generation has posted an article about how important trailers have become to the marketing of videogames – as they are for the marketing of movies. Halo 3 is held up as a prime example of how to do it right. Thanks, LegendaryMark.(Louis Wu 17:37:15 UTC)

    Trevor Chesler sent us another batch of pics of his Mjolnir armor construction – you’ll find them here. Work progresses!(Louis Wu 14:56:16 UTC)

    Pinkuh posted an… interesting rendition of Cortana (probably not fully safe for work) on our forum – it’s “the first officialy unofficial artwork for the Zune” (whatever that means). We’ve added it to her Gallery, as well.(Louis Wu 14:29:30 UTC)

    Wow, neat. Rooster Teeth sponsored a shuttle bus at the Gamestop Manager’s Conference… and tricked it out something fierce. I wanna ride on that! Thanks, Tex.(Louis Wu 14:24:50 UTC)

  • Wingnut – Building… Something.

    Over at Rampancy.net, Narcogen found a couple of articles relating to Wingnut Interactive and its upcoming work (Stuff, mentioned here, and The Record, mentioned here) – I must say that after having read both, I STILL have no idea what Jackson’s planning… but it’s becoming clearer to me that he’s not entirely sure, either. We’ll…

  • Do it this way.

    GamePro posted a design doc for Halo 3, detailing the things THEY’D like to see in the upcoming shooter. Check back next year to see how Bungie did at satisfying them. (You can also read this at GameTrailers.com (sort of – each page is a separate news entry) – thanks, Oscar.(Louis Wu 14:17:51 UTC)

    Another in the Pros Picks series – Vash looks at playoff possibilities. Slightly different top 8 than earlier pros… we’ll see. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 14:04:43 UTC)

    HBO

    I found it sort of strange that there’d be a full writeup of the Halo Graphic Novel at this stage, several months after its release… but you never can tell with journalists. The Marine Corps Times has put up a piece that describes the work pretty solidly; if you need an article that references most…

  • Tied the Leader – lots more stuff

    HBO
    in

    Yesterday, I mentioned a writeup of a fun gaming evening over at Tied the Leader – but I forgot to check for OTHER new content. There’s plenty. Not all of it is Halo-related; they cover gaming in general, though they do FOCUS on Halo. Recent Halo goodies include a profile of the Panic Attacks clan,…

    Dissatisfied with the crazy-AI, talking-plant route that Bungie seems to be taking with Halo 2 and Halo 3, GamePro decided to come up with their own design doc for Halo 3, featuring the Master Chief as a power-mad dictator who leveraged his defeat of the Covenant into hegemony on Earth.

    Happy Tuesday Everybody! Damnit. I’m a liar. I didn’t mean that exclamation point. I’m not really that excited that it’s Tuesday. I couldn’t sleep last night, I haven’t had coffee yet, and Jason already stank up the toilet. Life sucks. I guess I am kind…

    For this year’s Gamestop Manager’s Conference, we were asked to sponsor one of the shuttle buses that took attendees from the hotel to the conference hall. Not wanting to make just another lame ride, we came up with the Red-side/Blue-side bus pictured below….

    Although Bungie is working on its own mobile portal, currently it’s only available for Verizon, and probably only available in certain countries. For the rest of us jonesing to have Halo wallpapers on our cellamaphones, there are other solutions, even for those without any Photoshop skills. Mid7night created four phone-sized wallpapers out of images captured…
