Month: April 2009

TheDuoGroup has put out some of the most professional-looking Halo machinima… and they’re back with an ad for the Halo Warthog. The challenge? How good could they make it… in one day? Go see. (I give ’em 3 thumbs-up.) Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 18:03:48 UTC)

Back in February, we mentioned that the next short-run Halo-based comic series, Halo: Helljumpers, would be coming ‘this summer’ – according to 1UP.com, that’s now been narrowed down to ‘July’. Good deal!(Louis Wu 18:00:50 UTC)

Halo3Infinity.net interviewed Tobias Buckell about his Halo novel, ‘The Cole Protocol’. You can read it in English… or French! It’s a great read – contains lots of insight into what Buckell liked about the Halo universe (and what he thought was missing). Thanks to CaLL Me ZeNy for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 17:48:57 UTC)

urk highlighted a cool racetrack on Avalanche – swing by for a video and a downloadable map for Halo 3!(Louis Wu 17:24:02 UTC)

CMNeir created a video that celebrates Earth Day 2009 with some great footage from the Halo 3 Earth-based maps. Reminiscent of the ‘Oh So Beautiful’ series from Jamie98s – except it’s Earth-only. Great stuff! Thanks to the Bungie Blog for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 17:23:43 UTC)

thebest233 stopped in with word of Erwins Great Adventure… a very strange machinima. (Nice cinematography, though.)(Louis Wu 17:12:18 UTC)

Gilver was watching the WCG Ultimate Gamer last night on SciFi – and noticed that Halo 3 was part of their ‘Gauntlet’ episode. Slayer, BR starts, all night long… standing on pedestals. Ouch! (I have no idea how it ended; there’s no mention in the post.) (Louis Wu 16:51:02 UTC)

Bunch of comic links for you today: Hawty McBloggy noticed that a recent episode of Copper (A Bolt City comic) follows some rules she laid down last year… Dennis Powers let us know that Shipwrecked Episode 64 – Admiration is live – and the Search and Rescue team is learning to admire our lost marines.…

Kooberz (the guy who built a huge model of Zanzibar out of LEGO pieces) stopped in to our forum today to tease us with a link to a trailer for an upcoming 30-minute stop-motion film made with that model. It looks to be amazing! Check out his website for more details.(Louis Wu 18:07:02 UTC)
