  • legohaulic, indeed

    Wow. Cool Lego Hog/Spectre (more Spectre shots if you follow the ‘more’ link in this set). Thanks, cowfrommars.(Louis Wu 19:55:04 UTC)

  • Treasure Trove

    Jobyn pointed out a new website for ThePanicAttacks; it’s worth looking through, there’s a TON of content in there. Tutorials, strategy guides, movies… go look.(Louis Wu 19:48:51 UTC)

  • The Level That Just Keeps Giving

    Rockslider is STILL coming up with new stuff to do on Silent Cartographer. Go read about it.(Louis Wu 19:42:29 UTC)

  • Bungie Weekly Update

    This week we talk about AI and graphics in the Campaign, and talk about the thing on everyone’s minds today – the announcement and revelation of the Halo Legendary Edition. Lots of froth and panic inside. Enjoy!

  • Crying Out For Change.

    Stuntmutt STILL hasn’t recovered from Friday’s Legendary Edition price bump – go check today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 13:03:05 UTC)

  • Karma Has Fun

    More Player Match Commentary at MLGPro.com – this time it’s Karma, discussing Carbon’s performance against Final Boss in New York last year. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 12:18:04 UTC)

  • Halopen Needs YOU!

    xbryboyremix wrote to say that Halopen Films needs new machinimators – badly. If you’re interested in making good machinima with a clan with a solid pedigree, check these guys out! (They’ve made not one, not two, but FOUR advertising vids – watch ’em and become inspired: ADVideo | Halopen Ad | Halopen Cameraman Ad |…

  • NightWinder 2

    MasterChief2829 pointed out a new Halo 2 mod from MrMurder – I must say, it’s pretty! Description and link in the first post, more pics in this one.(Louis Wu 12:09:15 UTC)

  • Halo Toy Box, Doubled

    Sane Intolerant stopped by to point out two new Halo Toy Box strips – one makes fun of Stuntmutt and Mister Froggy, the other riffs on 300. (Louis Wu 12:07:31 UTC)

  • Reading Between The Xbox Livelines

    UPDATE: Since I wrote this entry last week, it was announced that the new Halo 2 multiplayer maps will make some XBL playlists 360-only, since the maps are only being released for the 360. In defense, we’ve been told that most Halo 2 players are using 360s. However, Microsoft does not release breakdowns between the…

  • Puntastic.

    Stuntmutt got burned by my mistake regarding Halo, Articulated this weekend; he ended up creating a similar gag for tomorrow’s strip – work he wouldn’t have had to do if I’d posted this on time. (Again, sorry.) His loss is your gain, though. (Well… sort of.) He’s put up that orphaned strip, along with some…

  • The Riot 40

    Sigafoos wrote to point out The Riot 40, a 28 minute, 11 mb package of Halo news, Halo community news, Brathnok job news, Shadowrun news, and Captain America news. And other stuff. Go listen!(Louis Wu 18:21:44 UTC)

  • It’ll Cost You

    Mister Froggy let us know Friday afternoon about Halo, Articulated 22 – I’d written up a news post then, making some sort of wry comment about the packaging announcement earlier that day. Somehow, it never actually got posted. Froggy rectified my mistake this morning – but I’d like to apologize for the delay. Go read!(Louis…

  • UMV

    UEG Gen Flugins and UEG LT Smash put together a montage inspired by HMV Hell – lots of little music clips, setting popular songs to Halo action. Some of them are very funny. (There are many of them – the video is almost 9 minutes long.) I was pessimistic when I started to watch it…

  • Where there are weapons…

    A couple of months ago, Omega found a pretty cool piece of driftwood – it looked a lot like a Brute Shot. He was pessimistic about filling out his Brute armory, however… until yesterday. I’m not sure I’d want to swim in the streams where he lives…(Louis Wu 13:18:00 UTC)

  • The Pillar of Autumn – in X-Plane

    Wow, cool. Mid7night took Infinityloop’s 3D model of the Pillar of Autumn, and put it into X-Plane! Pics and vids available in his forum post.(Louis Wu 18:38:25 UTC)

  • Podtacular 105

    Podtacular Episode 105 compares Graw 2 to Halo – thanks, Kiaffex.(Louis Wu 18:31:59 UTC)

  • The Top 25 Xbox Games of All Time

    IGN posted a list of ‘The Top 25 Xbox Games of All Time’ (well, or the last 5.5 years, I guess) – Halo and Halo 2 took first and second, respectively. Nice! Thanks, Morpheus.(Louis Wu 18:30:34 UTC)

  • Matchmaking, New Halo 2 Maps, and You

    Wow, this is a little worrying… FyreWulff pointed out a thread on Bungie.net discussing the new Halo 2 maps coming out soon – Jeremiah mentioned that these maps would likely be incorporated in a significant number of playlists – and (at least at this point in the developments) those playlists would no longer be available…

  • Where Credit is Due

    Red vs Blue Episode 92 was released for sponsors last night (thanks, hezekiah) – Sheila gets a new home, Simmons gets a drug habit, and Griff gets overlooked – again. Donut has some of the funniest lines of the episode. If you’re not a sponsor, this will be available early next week from their front…
