Tray and Play
PsychoRaven noticed a new Hired Gun blog – it’s a look at the ‘Tray and Play’ feature of Halo 2 Vista; the ability to play during install. HBO’s take? It’s an interesting feature – and really cool for getting you RIGHT INTO THE GAME as soon as you take the disc out of the box…

GoO – now smaller on your shelf
If you’ve held off buying Ghosts of Onyx because of the form factor (and the $12.95 cover price), TOR has just released the (standard-sized) mass-market paperback. Price differential, at least at Amazon, is miniscule at this point (the original trade paperback is $9.71, while the new mass-market version is $7.99) – but it’ll fit better…

What Halo has Brought Together…
Oh, my goodness. ODSTAdrianFii stopped by our forum last night to announce that 1) she and LazarusCayde have gotten engaged, 2) the engagement is due in large part to their mutual love of Halo (she said we helped! I’m tearing up!), and 3) they’re going to try and make it a Halo wedding. I demand…

H3DA – Online and Functional
Lyca let us know that the Halo 3 Data Archive has finished a pretty monumental task; they’ve categorized and documented all released info about Halo 3 to date. Every tidbit is attributed to its source – if you ever need to figure out whether what your buddy is telling you is actually released info, or…

Legolas releases enormous montage
MLGPro.com has a story about a ridiculously long (and large) montage from one of its pro gamers – Legolas has released ‘My Side of the Story’, a 24 minutes, 373 mb vid. It’s not ALL gameplay – there are movie clips, commentary screens, and other tidbits interspersed – but it does seem a bit… excessive.…

Help me get down!
Jamie98s let us know about his latest music video – this one’s set to the Killers’ “Why do I keep counting?” Great filming, as usual; awesome shots, cool effects, and (something a lot of Halo music vids seem to forget to do) action that’s actually synched to both the music and the lyrics. Check it…
