  • Out of this world – er, map

    Didn’t take long for folks to find some cool glitches in the Legendary maps. (I probably should cruise through the High Impact Halo forums to see more – but this showed up in my mailbox, which is always easier.) Over at GlitchBlog.com, there are a couple of videos from the ProjectModGaming crew in which they’ve…

  • Halo 3, single segment, 77 minutes.

    Wow. XBmaster has become the first person to complete Halo 3 in a single run, without dying. It’s on easy, and it took him 77 minutes (well, and 3 seconds, but we’ll forgive him those three). You can watch it over at High Speed Halo. (It’s also available as Fileshare-hosted film clips, so you can…

  • Zombie Death Squad

    ZDSvideos let us know that Zombie Death Squad is a new thriller/action machinima; they’ve already posted a teaser. Go watch! (They’re always looking for help, so if you like what you see, join ’em.) (Louis Wu 15:10:11 UTC)

    Rockslider’s back, this time showing how you can get 10 marines together on the beach on The Covenant… and then do nasty things to them. Bad Cyborg!(Louis Wu 15:03:52 UTC)

  • Wind Chill Factor

    ZZoMBiE13 was very nice about it – but I screwed up, and forgot to post yesterday’s Another Halo Comic Strip. Which is too bad, because it’s pretty darned insightful. Well, I guess it’s okay, because you can read it now! So go read it now, and become aware of one of the lesser-known dangers of…

  • For Great Justice (and multiple kills)

    bigroot posted a short clip of a fun triple-kill he had with a trip mine – if he hadn’t thrown the grenade that put the fully-loaded hog on top of that mine, it would have just been a randomly lucky set of kills… but his own grenade made it justice. Swing by YouTube to watch.(Louis…

  • Legendary and More

    DigitalPh33r has posted Arby ‘n’ the Chief Episode 8, over at Machinima.com – it’s a look at the Legendary Map Pack, and it’s got some funny moments. (Thanks, SPARTAN 294.)
