  • The Cure

    Marcelo Vega, of Brazil’s www.xboxtoday.com.br, sent us this picture, obtained by a friend of his, a doctor. Haloperidol is an antipsychotic, and is marketed as Haldol (among other names) here in the US – but in Brazil, it reminds gamers of something …

  • Only diehards need apply

  • Best of Both Worlds v2 Part 1

    Z dropped us a line about another dualtage – Gears of War and Halo 3, from inX 2Bit. Enormous file (172 mb for 6 minutes) – but the quality’s quite nice. Good footage, too. (Louis Wu 06:02:39 UTC)

  • Master Chief’s Face

    Halo3MC.wmv Well, it looks like you can see Master Chief’s face behind his visor in Halo 3! It’s dark, but you can easily make out the shape of his eyes (including a scar), and his nose. What does this mean for Halo 3? Will we be able to see Master C…

  • Goodbye Halo 3 Beta, We Barely Knew Thee

    And like Verbal Kint’s limp, with a poof, the Halo 3 Public Beta is gone. Now you have to wait until September 25th to play Halo 3 again. Start counting down.

  • RT: And then there was one…

    The second to last episode of the Blood Gulch Chronicles is now available. This video will probably provide more questions than answers, but that’s kind of our thing (in case you hadn’t noticed from the previous 98 videos). Sponsors can grab their down…

  • It’s all about the angry fanbois

    Simen, a regular at Subnova, has written up a fun timeline of the Halo 3 Beta (with some random Halo-related milestones thrown in). Swing by to give it a read!(Louis Wu 17:18:30 UTC)

  • Shield with Forerunner-inspired design on eBay

    Interesting. Someone’s selling a shield they’ve made – the artwork is a Forerunner symbol. (It doesn’t seem to be a symbol from Halo itself; the description says it’s ‘inspired by’ the game. But it’s close.) Thanks, Fragclone.(Louis Wu 17:09:13 UTC)

  • Unnatural Disaster.

    Stuntmutt’s paternity leave is in effect, and the One One Se7en guest artwork begins today. First up – a brand-new crossover strip from Gruntsbane, of Halo Babies. The white boards are brilliant!(Louis Wu 16:21:12 UTC)

  • Breakin’ Up

    Obienator made a funny little vid in honor of the end of the Halo 3 Beta – you can check it out on YouTube, or download it in high-res flavors from us. (All links are in his forum post.) I KNEW there was something funky about that game…(Louis Wu 16:…

  • EGTV Halo 3 Piece – for Europeans

    Dry Ice noticed a post on Major Nelson’s blog about an EGTV piece available for free download on Xbox Live Marketplace, with a preview of Halo 3. Caveat – it’s available only in Europe.(Louis Wu 16:11:26 UTC)

  • The Halo 3 Beta: A Noob’s Guide

    QuickTactical pointed out ‘The Halo 3 Beta: A Noob’s Guide’, a new movie made by Epic Films (directed by EAGLE EYE 318, filmed by QuickTactical). Voices are a bit quiet – but it does a pretty nice job of pointing out some of the intricacies of the Ha…
