Month: December 2008

Max Capo told us that he’s created a Miley Cyrus parody – he’s redone the song ‘See You Again’ as a Halo 3 montage called ‘Pwn You Again’. (I had to do a YouTube search for the original to compare.) His singing could use a little work – but it’s not a bad effort! Take…

GameDaily’s put together a list of the Top 50 Hottest Game Babes – and yes, Cortana makes the list. (To GD’s credit, the picture they use is not exploitative in the least. Then again, she’s only at #36…) Thanks, Morpheus. (Louis Wu 14:15:25 UTC)

Patrick Wood decided to model some of the environment concepts Bungie posted from Halo 3: ODST last Friday. His first attempt is now up on our forum – check it out! (Louis Wu 14:14:11 UTC)

Oh, man… at first glance, Ollie looks like he’s related to Sebastian (from Disney’s Little Mermaid), but look closer and he’s something… else. Thanks, ZZoMBiE13. (Louis Wu 23:05:13 UTC)

sharpsniper99 noticed that Xbox360Achievements.org has posted the Halo Wars Achievements – some provide interesting insights into the campaign gameplay. Hold off if you don’t like spoilers.(Louis Wu 21:27:24 UTC)

Whoa. Hawty McBloggy highlighted a cake made by Saiyan-Silk for her husband’s birthday… that’s an awesome cake.(Louis Wu 20:58:14 UTC)

This was released on Thursday, but it’s pretty funny – DigitalPh33r posted the first half of a Holiday Special, riffing off his work (at least one of the jokes requires having watched the Machinima.com Holiday Video to get). It’s only 2 minutes long – go watch!(Louis Wu 16:09:20 UTC)

Shadowfox ran across some pretty cool video of a deap-sea siphonophore… it looks like a single large organism, but is actually “a colony of numerous individual jellyfish-like animals that behave and function together as a single entity.” Sounds (and looks!) an awful lot like Halo’s Hunters! (A tidbit that surprised me – the relatively common…

Hawty McBloggy told us about some more Halo/Nintendo mashup artwork from CrazedOne1988 – he’s followed up his screenshots (we mentioned them a couple of weeks ago) with cover art. Go see!(Louis Wu 15:32:26 UTC)

Looks like I missed a ‘Game with Fame’ announcement last week – but never fear, the actual day of gaming isn’t coming up for another week and a half. Innerpartysystem will be playing Halo 3 with folks on January 8 – if you’re into their electro-punk, here’s a great chance to get to know them…

Ben, the web guy over at Rooster Teeth, has been recreating the RvB Recovery One miniseries in the Halo 3 engine. I think he’s doing a pretty impressive job, especially considering he’s not using any of the extra post-production stuff that the Rooster Teeth crew used. You can watch Episode 1 here, and Episode 2…

A10M1C let us know that he’d created a few ODST wallpapers in response to Bungie’s concept art released a couple of days ago. You can find ‘We Stand Together’ in both Standard and Widescreen in his DeviantART gallery… along with ‘The Rookie’ (also in Standard and Widescreen). Nice work!(Louis Wu 15:28:04 UTC)

RandomSauce let us know that the latest iteration of Halo 3 Mythbusters is now up – some really cool stuff in there! (One of the quirkier myths – not particularly useful, but interesting – is that a splatter in a Hornet on Avalanche will register as a cone kill on B.net – I just found…

Free Weights dropped by our forum with a tale of woe and holiday cheer – and some fine words to say about Ross Mills. Go read, and be buoyed.(Louis Wu 16:58:17 UTC)

AvatarAang let us know that the latest Inside Halo is now online – Halo news, a Top 5 list, and top plays of the… however long it’s been. Go watch.(Louis Wu 16:56:32 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy let us know that although she missed Friday again this week, you can still go by and participate in the latest round of Friday Caption Fun – answers for the last round are up, along with a VERY odd screenshot for this round. Go see what you can come up with! (Louis Wu…

A10M1C let us know that the ‘Tis the Season’ Screenshot contest kicked off at the Mindless Distortion blog last week is now over – and the winner has been announced. Swing by to see the details!(Louis Wu 16:43:53 UTC)
