  • Pretend it’s still yesterday

    Do you ever feel like you missed something? ZZoMBiE13 does – check out Another Halo Comic Strip.(Louis Wu 19:28:12 UTC)

  • Vengeance Trailer

    Deekor stopped by with word of a trailer for his new machinima series, Vengeance. Swing by HollywoodNHouse for multiple download links. Artsy!(Louis Wu 19:05:18 UTC)

  • MC in Manitoba

    Quikthnkr noticed that over at Geek Tragedy, there’s a montage of photos taken from the Manitoba Comic Con – and one of them shows a pretty nice Master Chief outfit! (Local copy of the corner in question, if the original disappears.) (Louis Wu 19:02:25 UTC)

  • More eggs in High Ground trash

    Jordan117 found ANOTHER couple of eggs in the trash on High Ground – check out his forum post for details. I like these! (Louis Wu 18:48:43 UTC)

  • Inside the Shadow of Intent

    Owlicious got into the Shadow of Intent, a Covenant ship high above you when you play the Ark. Nice pics! Thanks, Dojorkan. (Louis Wu 18:47:17 UTC)

  • The Bungie Store increases inventory

    ViralSyris found a whole BUNCH of new stuff at the Bungie store – trading cards, Wall Graffix(s), belt buckles, a passcase (is that just a fancy name for a wallet?), and a messenger bag. Check his forum post for all the links. (Louis Wu 18:45:23 UTC)

  • Halo 3 – the Comic

    BlueNinja decided to turn the Halo 3 story into a comic. He posted some pics, got some feedback, redid his work. The second go-round was pretty well-received… check out the first couple of panels! (Louis Wu 18:43:12 UTC)

  • A Portal novel, as the Companion Cube… win.

    LackOfKnowledge pointed out yet another Joe Staten interview, this time over at G4. More questions, more answers. That guy can TALK.(Louis Wu 18:41:30 UTC)

  • A ratings issue

    It’s been a crazy day – no updates so far. Let’s see if I can catch up. We’ll start with an article over at Gamer Dad, bemoaning a rating system that classes Halo in with games like Manhunt and GTA. (As Achronos pointed out in the thread started by GryphonOsiris, this is most likely due…

  • Halo 3 Cutscene Library: The Covenant

    For those of you not too busy playing the new Infection playlist on Xbox Live, the cutscenes for The Covenant (all six of them) are now live in the HBO Halo 3 Cutscene Library. For what it’s worth – this is going to continue to grow after the final level is posted; some of the…

  • Gametap’s Interview with Joe Staten, Part 2

    The second half of GameTap’s interview with Joe Staten (the first half was here) is now online – this one ranges from Ghosts of Onyx to Halo 2 to Halo 3 (it contains major ending spoilers for Halo 3, so if you haven’t played it, beware), and has a really sizeable amount of information. Joe…

  • A Kiss On The Hand…

    Stuntmutt has a holiday-themed One One Se7en for you today – for those keeping track, it has a Halo spoiler in it. (If you’re reading One One Se7en, and you’ve never played ANY of the Halo games, but you PLAN to… well, I’m not sure we should be protecting you from spoilers, but…)(Louis Wu 18:17:53…

  • I hope that’s modded.

    This is just… wrong.(Louis Wu 16:58:59 UTC)

  • The Wicked Ending

    Z let us know about The Wicked Ending, a huge (270 mb, 14 minutes long) Halo 3 montage from Hysteria and Eli; it’s full of multikills (Killtrocities and up), lots of FFA against MLG pros, and pretty nice editing to boot. If you’ve been missing some Halo 2 montage action, check this out.(Louis Wu 16:57:31…

  • Last Year’s Transport

    Elnea, shameless in her misuse of a numbering system that wasn’t designed for her ramblings, gives us Halo Action Figure Theater 98.74: Last Year’s Transport. Fantastic use of props… (Louis Wu 14:33:22 UTC)

  • Inside Halo – Episode 1

    Wow, nice. SodaGod has started a Halo news show over at Machinima.com; yes, these have been done before, but not with audio this good, or with SG’s whacky brand of humor. The video information listed is pretty much entirely wrong; the downloaded video is 48 mb, not 37, and the running time is 5 minutes,…

  • Cover Art Recreations

    Wow, nice work – KidWitPotential, over at Bungie.net, recreated the original Halo Combat Evolved box art using Halo 3, with a friend – and then they did the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack art. If the screenshots disappear, we have local copies (Halo CE | Multiplayer Map Pack). Thanks, gijake.(Louis Wu 10:02:02 UTC)

  • Date-specific coolness

    Awesome – Walshicus noticed some tombstones on Valhalla, apparently tied to the date today (it is Halloween, after all) – in case the FileShare links he posted disappear, we’ve downloaded local copies (one | two). RVideo also took a pic.(Louis Wu 09:48:08 UTC)

  • Halo 3 Cutscenes: The Ark (and a fix)

    Today’s update for the Halo 3 Cutscene Library contains the cutscenes from the level ‘The Ark’ – but it also contains a cleaned-up version of the closing cutscene for ‘The Storm’. A number of people noticed that there was overlapping music in the first version we uploaded, so Cody kindly went back and re-recorded the…

  • Leaderboards for the meta-game

    ninjakilpirate let us know about HaloUnofficial.com, which has leaderboards for the Campaign meta-game scores. Submit your scores, and see where you stand! (Louis Wu 22:38:55 UTC)
