Month: February 2009

naveeda stopped in to talk about IamDank’s latest creation – it’s a wonderfully-edited montage… with a 3 and a half minute intro. The intro isn’t just credits, though – it’s a cool collection of machinima shorts that work nicely to introduce the montage itself. A great way to spend a Sunday morning! (If you’ve got…

MasterCheifn was the first to let us know about Halo 3 Fails Episode 9 – mostly because he’s in it (as the first FAIL). Of course, he blames someone else. (In this case, he blames CYBRFRK – and since we blame him a lot too, maybe MasterCheifn isn’t exaggerating.) (Louis Wu 11:54:18 UTC)

The most-recently-announced Halo-related Game With Fame will be coming up on March 1, when you’ll get a chance to play with Southern/Christian Rock band Disciple. Swing by Xbox.com for full details.(Louis Wu 11:53:50 UTC)

Wow, this is just… silly. Back in mid-2006, Marvel announced that they’d be publishing a monthly Halo comic, starting a few months before the release of Halo 3. The delivery of these issues has become a joke – the fourth (and last) comic is STILL not out, having had its release date pushed back AGAIN,…

Psychophan7 put together a ridiculously detailed analysis of the management of resources in the Halo Wars demo. Read it if you’ve got a while.(Louis Wu 20:58:06 UTC)

A couple of movies for you this afternoon, brought to your attention by Master Ph0bia: Darkspire’s Matchmaking Episode 19 has been released, either streaming or downloadable in 720p, and stars a guy I met in Matchmaking last night. And Arby n the Chief Season 3 Episode 07 (“Panic”) is up – folks try and come…

Last night, ElusiveEagle519 did some searching and turned up some interesting information about Pete Cooper’s Operation Chastity. Pete had been hoping to dole out content a little more slowly, but since it’s been found, he was kind enough to summarize the useful stuff that was put up in several different posts across a couple of…

2900d4u used Halo Wars cinematic footage and audio from the GI Joe trailer to make a new video about Spartan Group Omega. He also figured out how to use the Elephant as a cannon. Check out both vids in his forum post.(Louis Wu 15:55:27 UTC)

The Catfish dropped in to announce 2501 Episode 12 – things are getting weird.(Louis Wu 15:54:02 UTC)

InnerRayg found a link on Action-Figure.com with a mini-review and some photos of the upcoming Halo Wars MEGA Bloks. Our forum denizens aren’t terribly impressed, it seems (except for maybe the Hornet and the Sparrowhawk)… but see for yourself! (Louis Wu 15:53:28 UTC)

Juesoni continues his live broadcasts of David segments – the fourth and final part of the machinima will be premiering at 12 noon PST (3 pm EST, 8 pm GMT/UTC). Check his forum post for links.(Louis Wu 15:52:39 UTC)

MTV’s Multiplayer blog has a summary of their 5 Most Notorious Multiplayer Gaming Glitches. Halo 2’s BXR glitch came in at Number 1. Thanks, Decommissioner. (Louis Wu 15:51:12 UTC)

DHalo recorded the three songs found inside the Halo Wars demo – if you’d like them, he’s packaged them up and put them on FileFront. (Louis Wu 15:50:47 UTC)

Kral sent word that he’d edited a new montage for his friend TheAvenger645 – swing by YouTube to watch it in HD. (Louis Wu 15:50:13 UTC)

Bungie posted its weekly update, as usual, last night (and we made it available in our Weekly Update Archive, as usual, last night) – but it didn’t manage to make the front page until now. Just because we’re tardy about letting you know, don’t think you shouldn’t read it – it’s full of useful tidbits.…

There are new Halo Wars Demo impressions today – from Expansion Pack (very short) and Tumeroks (a little longer). Check ’em out.(Louis Wu 15:44:27 UTC)
