    Onebitrocket noticed an article on the WETA website which looks at Peter Osborne, the man responsible for the creation of the functioning Halo Warthog WETA built for Neill Blomkamp. I gotta buy that guy a beer!(Louis Wu 15:06:04 UTC)

    This was posted yesterday, but yesterday was a very, very bad day: c0ld vengeance has followed up with a second Puzzleball map. (We mentioned the first one here.) Early feedback suggests this one might be a little frustrating… give it a try! (Louis Wu 15:03:17 UTC)

    Hawty McBloggy points out a series of gaming prints available from Pavel Dolgov – all are pretty impressive, two are specifically Halo-related (and therefore newsworthy). You can buy ’em in a bunch of sizes, with or without frames – go see what there is! (Louis Wu 14:58:47 UTC)

    Grunts R Us has done some work on Construct, and turned it into a ‘Boarding Action’-like map. They use the external pieces to great advantage; it works pretty nicely! (You can download it here.) Thanks, Fires7orm.(Louis Wu 14:55:46 UTC)

    A week or two ago, CROSSFIRE released a teaser for his next machinima project. Yesterday, trigger119 stopped by to let us know that a second teaser is now up at Gaming TV – again, it’s very difficult to tell what the film’s about, but at least we know what it’ll be called now. Cinematography looks…

    Melfina accompanied kornman00 on his tour of Bungie last week (she’d won the tour auction he held a couple of months ago), and she’s written up her own summary of the event. Go read it, with pics, in her forum post! (Louis Wu 14:37:33 UTC)

    We’re still working on our local Terminal Guide, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the web is waiting for us. Anthony stopped by yesterday to announce a nicely formatted skull/terminal guide he’s put up at The Final Fight (it’s in two parts, links are both in his forum post), and altfan113 let us know…

    We have a pretty strict rule on our forum – there’s no discussion of politics. This is because we are, at heart, a gaming community – and political discussions tend to be fractious. Barring discussion is simply an easy way to keep the peace. Sometimes, though, gaming and politics mix in our news – and…

    We’ve finished off the remainder of the single-player cutscenes from Halo 3 – you can find them in our Halo 3 Cutscene Library. We’re still planning on adding those variants that appear when you play coop – but for now, you can see the ending scenes and the credits! Thanks for all the recording is…

    foomojive

    It’s time to give credit where credit’s due. Many of you have asked about the new theme music for Podtacular. It turns out it was made by Prototype Raptor as a remix for Overclocked Remix but somehow didn’t make their cut and is not featured in the Halo section of their site. It’s called Halo:…

    Took longer than I’d hoped, but the voting for this year’s Guilt O’ Lantern pumpkin-carving contest is now online. There were a few entries we had to disqualify (pictures were too small, etc), but there are 54 pumpkins for you to peruse – pick your top 5. Please – don’t stop after page 1; there…

    We’ve got a one-two punch for you today from ZZoMBiE13 and Stuntmutt – a joint joke (well, sort of) that starts in Another Halo Comic Strip and ends in a Sunday One One Se7en. I take no responsibility for the stomach upset.(Louis Wu 16:31:00 UTC)

    Delta was the first to let us know about a spoof of Halo 3 in last night’s Mad TV. If you missed it, apparently it’ll be available on iTunes soon (thanks, bad pogo).(Louis Wu 16:18:20 UTC)
