Year: 2007

Halo Wars made TeamXbox’s Most Anticipated Games of 2008 feature – thanks, Planet Halo.(Louis Wu 13:09:49 UTC)

PFG stopped by to show off snapshots of his newest Halo acquisition – original sketches for the Halo Graphic Novel. Wonga.(Louis Wu 13:08:04 UTC)

This video popped up on Google News… you gotta wonder what drives people to make stuff like this. The women I play with… are nothing like this.(Louis Wu 13:03:16 UTC)

Wow. We got pointed to a bunch of pictures at PrintRoom, showing off the work of MLC – he’s been doing Star Wars stuff for a long time, and is now getting into Halo armor. Fiberglass, documented to within an inch of its life… check it out! Thanks to Xavier, from the 405th.com, for the…

JRod4549 was first to let us know that The Riot 78 is now online – this one focuses on community awards, and community news. 37 minutes, 15 mb. Go listen!(Louis Wu 20:41:48 UTC)

Interesting. I saw a bunch of articles on creating artwork in Halo 3 come through my Google News Alerts in the last couple of days, but said “oh, that’s just the story we mentioned a week or two ago,” and moved on. (Yes, I talk to myself in hyperlinks.) Turns out I was wrong; Wired…

ZZoMBiE13 has created (because of user demand) wallpaper versions of the last panel of yesterday’s Another Halo Comic Strip. You can find them in our Wallpaper section.(Louis Wu 19:33:08 UTC)

Elnea’s posted Episode 102 of her Halo Action Figure Theater – looks like Weapon L is going to need some first aid, stat.(Louis Wu 19:28:12 UTC)

Fox News has posted their ‘Best — and Worst — Video Games’ of the year. Halo 3 walks away with “Most Overrated Game”. (Louis Wu 19:26:55 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy has highlighted a pretty cool video showing off someone using the new soccer ball and Foundry to create a marble maze. When I was a kid, Creative Playthings sold wooden pieces for this, in a product known as Multiway Rollaway. I’ve seen hundreds of similar products through the years, but that one was…

newguy2445 has written up a FAQ for Halo Escape, the 2D Halo game he’s been working on (see this post for details). Give it a read!(Louis Wu 19:18:51 UTC)

G4TV has put up videos of gameplay on all three Heroic DLC maps, so you can see what you’re getting, if you haven’t bought them yet. (Also, these might help if you’re looking for weapons spawns or nice niches.) Check out Foundry, Rat’s Nest, and Standoff.(Louis Wu 19:17:15 UTC)

We’re still getting a bunch of requests to highlight Forge creations; as we mentioned a couple of days ago, Rampancy.net has created a great tool for keeping track of these. There are WAY more maps in our forums and our email boxes than in R.net’s database, so I can only assume that people missed the…

Narcogen, over at Rampancy.net, took umbrage with a reporter who claimed that a “game should be a self-contained and comprehensible artistic work.” Go read what he has to say about that.(Louis Wu 18:54:16 UTC)

Yesterday’s One One Se7en Advent offering never got front-paged, because i was out of town, so you get both Fifteen and Sixteen today. (It’s a shame, because yesterday’s was actually pretty clever.) As this holiday season continues, there’ll be more days when I’m not near a computer for an update at noon, Eastern time, when…

newguy2445 let us know that the Halo Wars Monthly Update is up over on the official forums. Status update, a reminder of an interview (we mentioned it last week), new concept art (very cool), and some Christmas wallpaper. Check it out! …and that’s it for the morning – I need to get to New Jersey.…

MLG’s having a Forge the Foundry Contest – build a cool map, win schwag. Go read all the rules, and get to forging! Thanks, trigger119.(Louis Wu 14:31:59 UTC)

Today’s Another Halo Comic Strip gives you insight into into the needs and wants of everyone’s favorite Master Chief. I love ZZoMBiE13’s art. (Louis Wu 14:27:43 UTC)
