Month: April 2008

Merc noticed a page selling a custom-made sculpted figure from Starship Troopers (well, maybe not any more – the page dates back 7 years) – it looks a lot like a Halo marine with Hayabusa shoulders. Interesting! (If you’re interested in ordering, you might want to contact the creator first on this page.)(Louis Wu 15:08:31…

Cody Miller announced that the winner of his crossword puzzle was goatrope. Go see how you did.(Louis Wu 22:34:58 UTC)

Nabsuh stopped by to point out a trailer for Fatum, an upcoming Halo 3 machinima he’s doing CGI for. Go watch it on YouTube.(Louis Wu 22:21:36 UTC)

Over at Halo Wars Heaven, there’s a new interview with Halo Wars lead designer Graeme Devine, in which a playable Forerunner race is announced. J23 noticed this mentioned on the official Halo Wars website.(Louis Wu 21:32:56 UTC)

Aaron Fish let us know that Larry the Marine 15 was released yesterday. It’s the beginning of a look back at how Larry got himself into this mess in the first place…(Louis Wu 20:49:33 UTC)

Marc Swint let us know that Mindless Distortion has posted a trailer for Gray Team Transmission Two: Relegation. You can stream or download it from a variety of sources – they’ve taken the feedback they got from Transmission One (released last week), and are promising an improved machinima project. Take a look!(Louis Wu 20:40:44 UTC)

Casters Realm has news of ‘Halo: Divide of the Covenant’, a Halo MMO. (Here’s a hint, for folks creating April Fools posts in the future – don’t use artwork from existing Halo projects if you want to be taken even a LITTLE bit seriously.) Thanks, gunluva.(Louis Wu 20:26:06 UTC)

Today’s episode of Another Halo Comic Strip answers a question a lot of people have asked for a long time. You might not be happy with the result, though.(Louis Wu 19:01:57 UTC)

If you’re a Red vs Blue fan, you can celebrate their 5th birthday with them – by buying the RvB Box Set. It includes all five seasons, plus a bonus disc that contains lots and lots of good stuff that never made it out before. (You can read about it on the RvB website.) If…

Halo CE Chronicles’ Shipwrecked, Episode 6 is now up – this puppy’s degenerating.(Louis Wu 18:27:31 UTC)

Wow, I hate it when news posts are eaten by the site gremlins. GameSpot is running a Halo 3 CTF tournament – registration begins tomorrow, runs for 5 days. Winning team gets a $200 Best Buy card. Swing by for more details.(Louis Wu 18:23:52 UTC)

Check out the Bungie.net Jobs page – there are three new jobs (Port/Emulation Specialist, 3D UI Designer, and Animator/Dance Choreographer) you might be qualified for. Sort of makes you wonder what they’re working on, doesn’t it?(Louis Wu 17:15:36 UTC)

Z pointed out a new Halo 3 montage from ipwnt, Sargoth, and Zanster – you can download it (all 180 mb of it) from Halo3Forum.com. I found the editing to be pretty distracting – but if you like funky cuts, this one’s for you.(Louis Wu 17:11:23 UTC)

Wow – chargeorge pointed out a friend who recorded Halo 2’s Rememberance on an accordion. You can hear it on his Facebook page. Will it spark interest in this?(Louis Wu 16:21:10 UTC)

Over at the 405th Forums (nice makeover, btw), there’s a sad tale of Microsoft heavy-handedness – the Legendary Armor crew has been served with a Cease and Desist notice. Sorry, guys!(Louis Wu 15:41:01 UTC)

You may remember the name ‘El Mayimbe’ – he works over at LatinoReview.com, and breaks a lot of movie stories. He showed up here in 2005, when he reviewed the original Halo movie script. I’m not sure April 1 is the best choice of ‘days to break interesting news’… but if you swing by LR.com,…

The timing is unfortunate, since a lot of people will assume it’s false – but we’ve added a team member to our Halo Story Page crew. Welcome to UNSC Trooper, who hopes to help bring the section out of hibernation – he’s already posted his first news bit!(Louis Wu 15:15:43 UTC)
