Year: 2008

Tony ‘ubald’ Marcotte sent word that he’s finished another render. This one is entitled ‘RRTU Scorpion Group’ – that’s not a team I’d mess with! Check it out – and look through his whole gallery if you haven’t seen the rest of his stuff! (Louis Wu 13:18:03 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy ran across a Cafe Press shirt inspired by a Newgrounds Halo Flash vid – and it tickled her fancy. I’m pretty sure I’d never actually WEAR it… but it’s funny.(Louis Wu 13:17:30 UTC)

Dennis Powers sent us the September Update for the Halo Custom Edition game Archive – there are 60 new maps and assets, bringing the total up to 3,555 items. Highlights this month include Painball beta, a mountaintop level by halorider, Insomnia, a nighttime map from GAIGHER, and Peril, a mountainside level from Higuy. Check ’em…

That woman… she’s gonna be the death of me. A risqué title for a new article over at Hawty McBloggy’s leads to a discussion about a fan-made grenade that started life as a Christmas ornament. This somehow got her to dreams of sticky blue balls – oh, man. Go read.(Louis Wu 20:31:17 UTC)

It’s Monday, so TTL Demag0gue let us know there’s a new Reclaimer up – Episode 93 shows that the Reclaimer doesn’t think a lot of the Cavalcade’s ability to help him. (It’s also a day for Chapter 1, Page 7 of The Biased, from OddGodHMK – lots of dead people.)(Louis Wu 17:49:24 UTC)

Rockslider has stopped into our forum with word of a redesign of Bad Cyborg (his website devoted to Halo campaign shenanigans), and a walkthrough of a solo attack on the third tower of The Covenant. Check ’em out! (Louis Wu 17:43:26 UTC)

A Halo fan has created a Halo mod for LittleBigPlanet – check out the video at GameXtract.(Louis Wu 17:42:48 UTC)

The newest Bryan Simon tune is now up on YouTube – it’s an ode to The Banhammer, and heeding its advice will keep you playing Halo 3 on Xbox LIVE. (There’s even a kind word for my current situation.) If you’d rather have an MP3 version of the tune, grab it from us here (3mb).(Louis…

SonofMacPhisto ran across a video entitled Halo 3 Campaign: Ep 1 – Tsavo Highway while exploring YouTube. Richardson Pictures, the creator, has used the Halo 3 saved films feature, voice acting, and some dramatic music to reproduce the Tsavo Highway level as a movie. Some nice camera angles! (The creator has followed up with Ep.…

Wow, it’s a little late to be announcing this… but we just got word from job syne of a contest for the Lego Halo Group at Flickr. It ends tomorrow, unfortunately. We were sent this link specifically – a very cool recreation of Rat’s Nest. (It’s unclear whether job syne is Vidgamer838, the creator, or…

My7hos reminded us that there are only a few hours left in his TTL Foundation charity auctions on eBay – Round 2 contains both boxed and unboxed action figures, and all profits go to the Tied the Leader Foundation!(Louis Wu 16:30:37 UTC)

A few weeks ago, we mentioned smick6’s Brute Spiker – if you really, really wanted one, now’s your chance. He’s selling one on eBay – starting bid is $250, and you’ve got almost a week to make up your mind. Go look! (There are lots more pictures of the project as it was being completed…

There’s a new PreGame Lobby episode up – LOL 5 answers a bunch of watcher questions. Thanks to The Handmade Hero for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 14:25:01 UTC)

Nomis78 posted a bunch of new panoramas – they’re all nice, but the last one is really pretty amazing. Go look!(Louis Wu 14:23:19 UTC)

Got an iTouch or an iPhone? Play pro Halo (or just want to keep track of spawn times)? Taylor Helsper has made a $0.99 iPhone App for timing Halo 3 respawns.(Louis Wu 13:48:16 UTC)
