A.I. – Artificial Ignorance
Many people have complained about some of the silly behavior that your marines engage in when battling alongside you in the Halo 3 campaign. But has anyone actually thought about what this means for the Master Chief? I mean not YOU… but MC? Well, ZZoMBiE13 has. Check out today’s ep of Another Halo Comic Strip.(Louis…

Nah, dude.
Ever wonder where the term ‘Bulltrue’ comes from? (It’s the medal you get when you kill a sword (or hammer) wielder in the act of lunging.) Dave ‘Evil Otto’ Candland stopped by our forum today with a little Bungie history lesson. (Louis Wu 18:48:47 UTC)

Potato Warrior Part 1
Sodagod has created a pilot for a new series called ‘Big Food’ – Potato Warrior Part 1 is the story of a time-honored battle between warriors… plus it’s got baby robots. And stupid girlfriends. And scary monsters. And invisible spaceships. And… geez. It’s awesome, go watch it. Now-standard Sodagod surrealism included. Six minutes long. We’ve…

Jonathan Quail
Trigger119 sent word that CROSSFIRE’s ‘Jonathan Quail’ has been released at GamingTV. This is a ‘reinvention’ (CROSSFIRE’s term) of Hell Quarters: Jonathan Quail, a video released a couple of years ago. That film was Halo 2-based, and 7 minutes long; this one is Halo 3-based, and 30 minutes long. On the plus side, the filming…

Assassin’s Creed
Opening Don’t worry, he won’t see me. I am but a knife in the crowd. Ubisoft’s claim to fame has always been their stealth and special ops games. So I was a bit surprised when Assassin’s Creed was announced. I thought to myself “a medieval game? What are they thinking?†So I followed this game…

RT: Return of the crap
Rooster Teeth Productions celebrates its fifth anniversary in just a few months and we’ve been compiling some of the old work from the early RvB and Drunkgamers days. We thought it might be fun to bring back some of the old classics. Ones like DrunkTank,…

All you need to do is save the universe?
Wow. Master Chief made Maxim’s ‘2007’s Dudeliest Dudes of the Year’ list. Sometimes you have to wonder. (Ads are probably NSFW.)(Louis Wu 21:08:37 UTC)

The Studio – Experience by Microsoft
Interesting – a luxury hotel in Chicago has just opened up an entertainment lounge that’s loaded with Microsoft goodies, and they’re touting the ability to play (among other games) Halo 3 in HD on LIVE as one of the perks of staying at the hotel. (It’s free for guests.) Thanks, Anton P. Nym. (Louis Wu…

TTL Tednesday – wait, what?
It’s not a T day, but there’s still a Tied the Leader update, thanks to XerxdeeJ. There’s a fun photoblog of a TTL Overlord get-together, and a reminder that you’ve got about a day left for your guesses in their 117 Day contest (they’re closing the voting at noon, Central Time – that’s 1pm EST,…

Journey, Frank? REALLY?
Wired Magazine has a ‘One and One’ mini-interview with Frank O’Connor; one question about gaming, one question about something totally different. It reminded me of the Roaming Gnome commercials for Travelocity, though. If you have a Red vs Blue account, you can read this old journal I wrote about this phenomenon; if you don’t, lemme…

Now, Flip the Elephant
Elnea’s posted Episode 114 of her Halo Action Figure Theater – poor O’Hara! (I’m reminded of the rescue scene in Princess Bride, actually.) Great action shots. Check it out! (Louis Wu 15:24:01 UTC)

Black is the new Grey
Heh – Bungie hasn’t had a ‘Black’ option in your armor customization choices since Halo – but there IS a ‘black’ option in the ‘Force Colors’ team options for multiplayer games. So Gravemind took advantage of it to create a Halo 3 Spec Ops Elite. Nice!(Louis Wu 15:18:21 UTC)
