Year: 2010

Back in August, in time for PAX, RvB’s MissZahrah painted a set of Russian nesting dolls as characters from the Red vs Blue videos. She presented them to Burnie at the expo (here’s a final picture of the full group) – what a fan! Well, last week, she unveiled a new collection – this one…

We mentioned Laird’s upcoming Child’s Play charity auction in passing yesterday; we got mail last night from Sean Bradley, who submitted a tricked-out ODST helmet to the mix. He made a commercial for it, plus he’s posted a collection of ‘in-progress’ shots and finished shots for the helmet itself. Finally, there’s a thread detailing all…

RvB Revelation Chapter 8: Perusing The Archive went online last night, and things are getting tenser for everyone. Church and Caboose get into secret places, the Red team practices being deceptive, and Washington and the Meta find… something. Suspense ramps up! Go watch. (Louis Wu 15:12:16 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy highlighted a really nice machined Reach-themed Xbox 360 case – go see! (Louis Wu 15:10:10 UTC)

ElzarTheBam noticed that Empire has posted a list of their 50 Greatest Video Game Characters… and Master Chief shows up at #8. Not bad!(Louis Wu 15:05:59 UTC)

rolandk73 noticed a custom Halo 3 EVA Spartan figure with a Booster Sled (sort of) available on eBay – there’s still a day and a half left on the auction. Starting bid is $62.50. (Louis Wu 15:05:19 UTC)

Justinian stopped in to mention that a picture he’d started a little while ago had been finished, sent off to Bungie to be signed, and is soon going to be available for purchase in an auction being organized by Laird to benefit Child’s Play. Nice! We’ll let you know when the auction’s up.(Louis Wu 14:37:09…

Ciarán noticed that UNSC Trooper updated the Halo Story Page again, last Friday – go see what he’s finding in the mailbag! (Louis Wu 14:36:42 UTC)

Tyler, from Young Street Productions, let us know that Forecast the Series is debuting Season 2 sometime this summer (probably June), and that a new trailer for this upcoming work is now up. Go watch! (Louis Wu 14:35:54 UTC)

Laird sent word that a new trailer for ‘Paid in Blood’, an upcoming fan-made ODST 3D animated, is now online – go check it out!(Louis Wu 14:28:09 UTC)

Chairleg Productions started a series called ‘Console Wars’ back in mid-2008. The first episode was very good. (Higher-res download links are available in this post.) Then there was silence, for 2 years. Today, they’re back, with Episode 2… and the result is fantastic. Funny story, great video effects, nice cultural references… definitely worth a watch.…

TDSpiral whipped up a piece of art he calls ‘The Fallen’ – powerful tribute! Take a look.(Louis Wu 15:16:20 UTC)

Looks like Marvel’s coming out with a Reach comic this fall… thanks, GrimBrother One. (Louis Wu 15:15:56 UTC)

Over at Halo3Forum.com, MrTwiggy101 posted a greenscreening demo from Halo 3 that looks better than any attempt I’ve seen before. He says he’s going to be posting a tutorial at some point.(Louis Wu 15:15:03 UTC)

Ready Up Live posted an official List of Fake Halo: Reach achievements, and Hawty McBloggy’s highlighting them. (This is probably a good thing – the last two or three times RUL was featured anywhere big, their site went down.) Lot of teabagging-related items there… (Louis Wu 15:14:38 UTC)

Today’s Grin + Bear It is live at Hawty McBloggy’s – sort of. This week, Luke was too busy to draw up a full strip, so he’s asking for suggestions from the audience; he’ll finish it next week with the best of your submissions. Go submit! (Louis Wu 15:12:43 UTC)
