Month: April 2008

Jaded Target noticed a new piece of artwork over at the Halo Wars site – it’s another Forerunner building concept. Go take a look! (There’s also confirmation that the news that the Forerunner would be playable in Halo Wars was, indeed, an April Fools joke.)(Louis Wu 04:02:04 UTC)

retinence stopped by with links to a Brute Bionicle he built, complete with Hammer of Rukt. Nice work!(Louis Wu 03:58:55 UTC)

And while we’re forgetting comics, Elnea posted Halo Action Figure 142 yesterday – complete with a link that will make you cry. (Don’t say I didn’t warn you, after you sit through it.) Tip o’ the hat for the reminder to CougRon, who pointed it out tonight.(Louis Wu 03:54:49 UTC)

You’d think, after ALMOST missing the posting of Another Halo Comic Strip on Thursday, I’d be more careful for a little while… nope. I missed Saturday’s posting, because… ah, I have no excuse. It’s too bad, though, because ZZoMBiE13 is tackling the tough subjects these days – this one has science, and everything. Go read.(Louis…

New Luke McKay artwork, in honor of Reconstruction, was posted today in his RvB image library. We’ve added it to his gallery here at HBO.(Louis Wu 22:20:27 UTC)

The Rooster Teeth crew have announced a new machinima series – Reconstruction. These guys will show you why they’re the best-known Halo machinimators out there – the trailer looks fantastic, and should leave you drooling for the first episode. This one definitely looks more serious than the original RvB series (though Burnie says “don’t let…

nomis78 put together a giant panorama of the Control Room on the Ark (from near where you fight the double-scarab battle). There’s some distortion due to the sheer size of this puppy – but it’s a pretty cool image. Check it out!(Louis Wu 17:57:40 UTC)

Ryan Hemhauser let us know that Charity Gamers will be running a Halo 2 FFA in Reading, PA at the Too Many Games convention on May 4. $5 to sign up, with prizes for 1st and 2nd. Proceeds will benefit the National MS Society. Go read about it!(Louis Wu 16:34:56 UTC)

The Grifball Spring League Week One Highlights are available for watching at grifball.com. (The Ajax stuff that controls which movie you watch seems to remember which one you LAST watched – so if you find yourself watching the Social Highlights, make sure you select the proper movie from the list.) The highlights are awesome, but…

Adam Grumbo is selling a life-sized, plastic resin assault rifle on eBay; you’ve only got another day to bid. (It was a three-day listing, but we didn’t hear about it until last night, and I’m just now getting to posting it.) Current bid is $75, and this puppy looks SHARP. (He’s included photos of a…

The Bungie Weekly Update is now live over at Bungie.net (thanks, Vandle Valsher) – there’s some awesome info about Forge, as it’ll work with the Legendary maps, along with an interview with David Aldridge, a new Bungie Network Engineer hire, and a picture of Shishka that NOBODY should be subjected to. (Thanks, Frankie. You jerk.)…

DigitalPh33r’s Arby ‘n’ the Chief Episode 7 is now up on Machinima.com and YouTube – Chief goes after girls. (You might think the whole Tag thing is over the top… but I’ve got 14-year-olds in the house, and I can say that’s totally real.) The rest of it… man. Thanks, discopete019.(Louis Wu 19:18:50 UTC)

Heh – SarcasticGamer.com has its own take on the whole concept of DoubleXP Weekends. (Bungie spells better than they do, though.)(Louis Wu 19:03:11 UTC)

Over at Teen Ink, there’s a story written by someone who went to their first MLG tournament last summer, in Chicago. Check out how it goes for the non-pros!(Louis Wu 18:03:10 UTC)
