Year: 2008

John_117 let us know that he’s put together a gift for the Halo community – some of our forumgoers had trouble finding the overall message, but you can just enjoy the scenery, it’s a pretty vid!(Louis Wu 15:06:44 UTC)

hubristes stopped in with word of some images he put together for a 2old2play clan calendar – he’s not selling it, but you can easily upoad the images to a photo printing site and make your own using these pics. Check it out!(Louis Wu 14:42:20 UTC)

Bryan Simon let us know about a new song he’s just posted – ‘I Wanna Be An MLG Pro’ discusses the pros of being… well, a pro. You can also grab an MP3 version from us, if you like (3.6 mb).(Louis Wu 14:23:55 UTC)

411Mania.com has another round of ‘What If?’ questions, asked by readers and answered by staff – this week’s episode includes the question “What if Sony had acquired Bungie Studios instead of Microsoft?” Go see if you agree with their answers. (Louis Wu 14:23:31 UTC)

MonsterVine is hosting a third week of a ‘Caption This’ contest – prizes include 1000 Microsoft Points and three months of Xbox Live. (Full rules are here.) It’s a winter-themed pic this time around… go throw in your thoughts!(Louis Wu 14:23:12 UTC)

Over at the Bungie Blog, Yoozel pointed out a holiday-themed mosaic made up of Halo 3 screenshots, created by PFK_647. Happy Halodays! (Louis Wu 14:22:55 UTC)

The Kansas City Star has an article that suggests that full-length, full-price games might be on the wane – and points to Bungie’s Halo 3: ODST as a prime example of a potentially more successful model – shorter gameplay, less cash. (Louis Wu 14:21:55 UTC)

Adam Susskind stopped in to point out his ‘Halo Graphic Series’, Chaos Theory – a different take on the Halo screenshot comic. It comes out once a week, in PDF format, and is about 20 pages long. Episode 4 is up now – but back issues are available from the navbar on the left. Check…

Heh – Stephen Loftus shows that, as mentioned in the Art of Halo 3 book, a UNSC Pelican is large enough to fit an Abrams M1A1 Main Battle Tank in its troop bay (though Bry would argue the semantics of ‘fit’). Fun discussion!(Louis Wu 23:49:08 UTC)

ZZoMbiE13 was inspired to add a new installment of Another Halo Comic Strip after playing Mirror’s Edge… I think he’s got a point.(Louis Wu 23:48:13 UTC)

I ran across Dimensions Halo 3, a Halo 3-themed template for Joomla-based websites. If you’re using Joomla as a content management system and you’d like your site to have a pretty clean Halo 3 look… check this out!(Louis Wu 14:24:36 UTC)

kr-1426 pointed out that the HBO Fan Fic Pick of the Week for this Friday’s stories is now online on the HBOFF forum – give it a read!(Louis Wu 14:24:12 UTC)

Tommy92L dropped in to announce Tommy 92L’s Christmas Special, a machinima made with HaloCE with a heartwarming message for the Holidays. Give it a look!(Louis Wu 14:23:38 UTC)

Pete Cooper stopped in to say that the Warthog Diary for his Operation Chastity movie is now online – go see how the progress is going!(Louis Wu 22:25:33 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy pointed out a newer version of the Halo Light Show (we mentioned the first one back in October) – seemed a bit too heavy on the After Effects filters, but was entertaining, to some degree. Go watch!(Louis Wu 22:23:17 UTC)
