Random Acts of Beta
Paul Maestri wrote to point out Halo Heads 43 – what happens when someone you think doesn’t deserve it (as much as you do) gets access to the Halo 3 beta, and you don’t? Well, there’s always something you can take heart from…(Louis Wu 16:48:50 UTC)

Halo Drumline Show
GetOverITEnor found a cool film showing Center Grove (Indiana) High School’s entry in an Indoor Percussion competition in 2005 – it’s a drumline show featuring Halo music. Fantastic show! (As a side note, FancyShmancy inspired me to do some hunting on the last high school band vid we posted, last week – turns out it…

Bungie’s Angels
Obienator, who released ‘Gameplay May Change During Online Play’ last year (and garnered high praise for it), has released a teaser for the sequel, ‘The Haxor that Loved Me’ – you can watch it at YouTube from that forum post, or you can download higher-res versions. (Louis Wu 16:22:21 UTC)

Everything You Wanted To Know, But Were Afraid To Ask… Again
Bungie has the Waaambulance, where people who have been banned from Halo 2 matchmaking write in nearly incomprehensible questions and complaints, and Bungie makes fun of them. I don’t have the power to ban players from Halo 2 matchmmaking, not that I would if I could. What I do have is some search logs that…

That ‘Thing’…
Frankie stopped by the NeoGAF forum yesterday to state pretty definitively that the ‘new thing’ (mentioned in this week’s Bungie Weekly Update) is NOT video-related… which pretty much rules out flycams, spectator cams, and all the other variants that have been the frontrunners in the speculation threads on OUR forum, at least. Thanks, Drakkari.(Louis Wu…

Halo: War Journal ‘Last Dance’

It tells the story of a heroic last stand by 300 Spartans against an overwhelming Covenant force. If you’ve got an extra 5 minutes this Saturday,…
