    Sorry guys but a situation came up where I can’t be at this week’s podcast. And since JVB is at PAX, we can’t record this week’s show quite yet. We hope to be able to do a makeup session for Bioshock shortly. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

    We got email from Tucker Barrie, who let us know about one of the coolest stop-motion Halo films to pass through our doors in quite some time. It’s called ‘Spartanarena’, and probably not for the reason you’re thinking. You can download it in QuickTime…

    Astounding number of singleplayer clips appearing today – Nucflash found another one at IGTV, and Bootsman found a pair (one | two) at GameVideos.com. I’m sure there’ll be more – but I’ve got to call it quits at this point. (Louis Wu 21:53:36 UTC)

    Awesome. If things go as planned, standbyers in Halo 3 will find themselves playing only other standbyers. (Well… and people with really crappy connections.) Bungie.net forum post found by Nucflash.(Louis Wu 21:43:23 UTC)

    Halo Universe has some photos of the Halo 3 Ferris Wheel we mentioned a couple of days ago, set up at the Leipzig Games Convention – as the pics show, there are 360s set up in each car, so you can play Halo 3 as you rotate over Leipzig. Thanks, Marc. …

    360RantRave.com was at the IMAX showing last night; they grabbed some audio from the show. (Bungie’s restrictions barred “Photography, video cameras and cell phone camera use” – no mention of audio recorders, so I guess this is okay.) Thanks, SIRBOE.(…

    There’s an article in the New Zealand Herald that purports to be about Peter Jackson’s Halo game – but really, it’s just about how it’s not really related to the Trilogy, story-wise. Thanks to Blackstar for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 18:53:18 UTC)

    There’s a small clip of actual gameplay from Halo 3’s campaign, shakeycam’d off a monitor and recorded during hte Leipzig Games Convention, at IGN (first movie on the page). (Sort of has that start-of-Delta-Halo feel to it… but prettier.) It’s actua…

    Andras Ostrom has sent along a new, and MASSIVE, piece of Halo machinima; it’s 30 minutes long, and weighs in at about 200 mb, depending on format. It’s called ‘Opus Machinima’, and it pokes fun at… well, the entire genre. It’s really nicely filmed, …

    Over at Rampancy.net, Narcogen noticed a note from Marty on the Marty Army group page that suggests that Halo 3 Audio might be nearly done. I guess that’s good, because the game has to get to replicators soon…(Louis Wu 13:29:38 UTC)
