Month: April 2009

I don’t highlight a lot of Sandbox creations here – but Decadence Night stopped in with a remake of of Hang it High that looks fantastic. I haven’t had a chance to play it yet… but High Noon brings back great memories, just in the screenshots. Check it out!(Louis Wu 16:37:06 UTC)

The latest Arby ‘n’ the Chief (“Party”) uses the new-ish ‘annotations make movies interactive’ technique to present multiple flashbacks in a way that becomes a little tiresome before it’s all over… but it’s intriguing nonetheless. Thanks, sharpsniper99.(Louis Wu 16:36:31 UTC)

Daniel ‘Tyrant’ Morris sent word that a new challenge has been beaten – earlier this month, he announced an attempt to beat Halo 3 in co-op Mythic difficulty, no deaths by any player. (Standard Halo 3 co-op, even with the Iron Skull on, will not make you start the level over again if someone dies…

jdars sent us a link he’d found to a website that looks like it was built to display images of a rendered warthog (which is pretty cool, all by itself)… but it’s more than that now, and the site is really, really nicely done. It’s still a work in progress; a couple of sections haven’t…

Curtis Blakely let us know that the latest podcast from Nerdballoon, ‘Lunchpail Platoon’, contains an interview with Mad Max of Team End Result, a Canadian pro gamer team. It’s an interesting discussion that goes from pro gaming, to the Halo series in general. Go listen!(Louis Wu 11:59:03 UTC)

Last night, as is usual on Friday nights, Bungie posted their Weekly Update – it contains a summary of what happened around the Halo world this week. There’s not a HUGE amount of content for folks who pay really close attention – but a few tidbits that might have passed you by are definitely inside.…

hyokin stopped in with word of a new Halo 1-based machinima – Slayer. The first chapter is up now. The characters are from his Operation Respawn series, but this seems to be a self-enclosed story.(Louis Wu 18:45:10 UTC)

It’s Friday, so it’s time for another Aesthetic Artist Interview – this week jdars sits down with Dusty Boy T, and discusses the fine art of Campaign screens. There are 30 examples to mull over when you’re done reading!(Louis Wu 17:35:29 UTC)

New movies, courtesy of the Bungie Blog:CARmakazie put up another GooseTage – splatter central.Scarecrew has a montage that’s just bloopers. I think he’s been piggybacking on my Xbox LIVE matchmaking. (I gotta say, though, it’s pretty impressive to stick yourself without bouncing the grenade off something, or throwing it straight up…)ALPHA PHEONIX put together a…

Z pointed out a new DualTage at Halo3Forum.com – gameplay by Kimo and Krunchy, editing by Domino. About 10 minutes long. Nice gameplay and editing (though I had to turn it down a bit…). Take a look!(Louis Wu 17:20:22 UTC)

Heh – VERY cool. a website called ‘I Make Projects’ contains information about a working, real-life Halo oddball skull, for use in Airsoft/laser tag games (or whatever). The skull contains electronics that read the RFID tag that each player wears – so you gain time by holding the skull close to your chest, with both…
