Month: March 2008

Juxtapose was the first to let us know that Halo 3 (and Halo 2) made cameo appearances in the Season Finale of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Files (a TV show on Fox). He sent this along Sunday night; apparently, he’d been able to see it on CTV on Sunday, even though it broadcast here in…

Back in November (well, starting in late October, I guess), Rooster Teeth posted a machinima series on Xbox Live Marketplace and on their website, for sponsors – Recovery One is a four-part series that follows up on Out of Mind, and expands the RvB universe. (It’s considerably darker than the standard RvB fare.) It’s now…

Congratulations to Team Cannonball, who won the Winter Grifball League Championships last night, beating Grunts of Fury by a score of 8 goals to 1. They finish the season undefeated, having a total of only 14 goals scored against them in all 14 games they played (while scoring 94 against their opponents). Well-played, guys! (Thanks…

So… remember that auction we held recently, for a piece of Mister Chief artwork, with proceeds going to charity? Well, the price for that puppy took off after someone asked “if I buy it, can I have Recon armor?” and Frankie said “of course.” The guy who bought it, though, bandicat… he’s just a nice…

Stuntmutt might make you cry today. Go read One One Se7en to see why.(Louis Wu 14:11:07 UTC)

kilaMOMjaro let us know that Gaming4Others has kicked off registration for a tournament that will help one of their members get a new kidney. (No, I’m not joking.) The Help RJB Finish the Fight Charity Tourney takes place on March 22, and entrants can compete in the FFA or 4v4 contests. Registration is $10/person, and…

Tyler Tschida let us know that he’s opened up a new site called Installation 05, specifically to sell products like McFarlane’s Toys and ActionClix sets. They’re running a promotion right now where they’re giving away a 5-figure ActionClix set to a lucky winner – and if you mention HBO, your entry is doubled. Check ’em…

2phast wrote to point out that the next Larry the Marine is now up – Larry has come up with yet another plan to defeat the Covenant. This one’s definitely better than the last one… but I think it still might have some holes.(Louis Wu 13:56:01 UTC)

Vincent let us know that the latest Inside Halo (the Halo news machinima from Soda God) is now available at machinima.com (and YouTube). Swing by and watch!(Louis Wu 13:42:06 UTC)

j.miggz recreated Hamlet’s most famous soliloquy in Halo-speak. I don’t know whether to applaud or bang my head on the wall. Go read.(Louis Wu 20:16:34 UTC)

Darkspire Films has put a bunch of their clips together in one montage they call ‘HayLol 2’ – check it out, there are some funny skits in there! Thanks, Raulboy.(Louis Wu 19:39:43 UTC)

Sigafoos reminded us that The Riot 89 is now up – 32 minutes, 13 MB, lots of stuff like challenges, tourneys, the Frag a Friend event(s), what kind of idiots they are, and more. Go listen!(Louis Wu 19:30:28 UTC)

Paula Rodriguez sent along some pictures of her cardboard Guilty Spark to Tim Dadabo, the voice of Spark. He was so tickled he sent them to us. We’re sharing them with you. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 18:53:13 UTC)

To all the folks who’ve noticed that the latest issue of EGM contains a story about an upcoming Halo LEGO game… we’d like to remind you that that issue of EGM happens to be the April issue. (Louis Wu 16:44:10 UTC)

I neglected to note its passing with an update… but Mythica.org officially went offline on Friday. (Thursday, for file downloads… but the site was still up on Friday.) Again, I’d like to thank Brian for his years of Halo community support – I don’t think his influence on the success of Halo machinima can be…
