Year: 2009

Drift0r put together ‘How Not To Disarm The Bomb’ – a Halo machinima that should make you happy that Bungie made bomb disarmings as simple as being close. Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 18:55:38 UTC)

Back in April, 2008, HBO took on Bungie in a Humpday Challenge on the then-not-quite-released Legendary maps. It was an even Humpday (1 win, 1 loss, 1 tie for both teams)… but unbeknownst to us, a couple of weeks after the event a fan known as Rast07 whipped up a very cool action video of…

A couple of weeks ago, we mentioned ‘Master Chief vs Mortal Kombat: The Hidden Skull’, a machinima mashup of Halo and (duh) Mortal Kombat. It was hilarious. The second episode is up now (thanks again to the Bungie Blog for the heads-up) – and it’s as good as the first. Check it out!(Louis Wu 16:56:08…

ChrisOfTheDead has put together Shenanigans 2, a community funtage – not all meetings in Halo 3 are about killing the other guy. (Just most of ’em.) Some funny stuff in here… thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 16:42:12 UTC)

The Hushed Casket has been around for a LONG time – and they’re still kickin’ it, oldschool. They recently got together for a Halo PC LAN… and rapture stopped by to point out a writeup, including pics and a great overview video. Swing by for a solid dose of nostalgia! (Sadder news that came out…

Leviathan continues his graphic novelette, “A Sangheili’s War Is Never Over” – the latest episode is bigger, bolder, and more colorful than its predecessors. Take a look! (Louis Wu 15:31:21 UTC)

Tom Reynolds, an Australian journalist, gave his son controller and filmed him playing a little Halo. Not really unusual, I guess… until you realize his son is 10 months old! (Sadly for Tom, he says his son’s K/D spread wasn’t that much worse than his own…)(Louis Wu 15:29:55 UTC)

LoneRanger 2.5 pointed out that Oddee.com recently posted an article entitled “12 Alphabets Made of Objects” – and the Halo Corpse Alphabet is on the list. (Personally, I loved the Sky alphabet – but they’re all pretty cool.)(Louis Wu 15:29:01 UTC)
