Year: 2008

ZZoMBiE13 continues with his Legendary theme this week, as Another Halo Comic Strip shows once again how to elicit a major emotional response from the Arbiter.(Louis Wu 17:35:55 UTC)

As mentioned earlier, we had another batch of fun content from GhettoMole – not only did he send us a link to a custom-built Jackal, but he’s working on a wearable Scout helmet. Swing by this page for progress pictures! (Louis Wu 15:18:12 UTC)

Maximum Fear is hosting a contest – complete the campaign level Cortana on Legendary faster than anyone else, win a $25 Bungie Store gift certificate. (There’s also a $10 certificate for the highest score, regardless of time.) For reference, the best time currently listed for a Legendary runthrough of Cortana over at High Speed Halo…

Rock Opera Jr stopped in to let everyone know that Angry Robot has a lot of Halo content this week – they’ve put up a review of the Legendary Map Pack, a Halo-themed podcast, and a comic that features a pet flood spore. Go check it out!(Louis Wu 14:54:55 UTC)

GhettoMole put together a Halo Jackal from bits and pieces of Warhammer models – great job! (Check back in a bit for more from him.)(Louis Wu 12:59:22 UTC)

Haloplayer stopped by to point out Lost Shorts 1, “New Armor” – an extended gay joke set in their Lost Cause universe.(Louis Wu 12:50:10 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy found what might be the most expensive Halo 3 Hot Wheels customs ever. $700 for a pair of vehicles, with a total of four hand-painted figures. I guess if you’re really, really rich and having trouble figuring out what to do with all that cash…(Louis Wu 12:42:57 UTC)

bigazn13 let us know there’s going to be a 3v3 Halo tourney in Bonney Lake, WA this coming Saturday, April 19 – $35/team to enter, $30 of each entry will go into the payment pool, split 70/30 between first and second place. More info (including timing) can be found on the Gamebreakerz website (about halfway…

Delta’s making a Halo machinima as a physics project (“A study of Dynamic Physics in Action Movies”) – the trailer’s up now. Go watch, and give him some feedback!(Louis Wu 12:35:48 UTC)

A fun little Forge experiment on Avalanche showed up in my Google Alerts box this morning – a few gravity lifts + Avalanche’s mancannons + lots and lots of plasma grenades = pretty patterns!(Louis Wu 12:30:28 UTC)

blackouTT let us know that he’s posted his entry for GamingTV’s Laughs for Cash competition – you can download it and decide what you think about it. Par Avion is a spoof of many other machinima projects, and follows the travels of a player in Matchmaking after he picks up a mysterious object. Very nicely…

Darknesshasfallen noticed that Target has put the Limited Edition Halo controllers on clearance – you might want to check a local store to see if this is true for you, as well. (He found them for under $10 there.)(Louis Wu 12:26:19 UTC)

Hellhawk announced Floaty Silence 4 – Climax of Boredom a couple of days ago, I decided to wait until I could watch it to announce it. I’m glad I did; it’s a pretty funny reenactment of the Crow’s Nest opening cutscene. Go watch it!(Louis Wu 12:24:41 UTC)

The panorama craze continues – Crab has sent us another 6, including two from the new Legendary maps and 4 from older multiplayer locations (I LOVE the Avalanche cloud system!), and nomis78 stopped by with a pair from Avalanche and one from Construct. (Crab says he’s done for the time being, but there are still…

RVideo’s already put some time into Legendary panoramas – this post, and this one, both have gorgeous shots from outside Avalanche and Blackout. (The first one also has a bunch of wallpaper options of the first Blackout shot.) The Avalanche piece is simply amazing. And… that’s it for today. Away from the keyboard until tonight!(Louis…

Raulboy found a song that’s clearly Halo-inspired… but listening to it makes my ears bleed. What a tradeoff!(Louis Wu 12:18:56 UTC)
