A couple of years ago, Elnea created a beautiful song for inclusion in a machinima series being created by some friends. Things changed, and the machinima got shelved… so she now has permission to release this song to the public. It’s powerful movi…

Anton P. Nym found a 360Prophecy comic strip on Xbox.ca that might resonate with our audience. Jman pointed out that the most recent episode is also Halo-related (and if you follow the Archives link, you’ll find even more).(Louis Wu 16:12:29 UTC)

Gamespy has a Halo 3 Wishlist (thanks, The Lamontser). Our forum isn’t very impressed with it.(Louis Wu 16:08:03 UTC)

Simply Greg stopped by to point out a trailer for ‘Emerald’, a new machimina project from SnowGlobe and FantasyCubed. I read the responses on our forum before watching the video – and I have to say, they all got it right. This one’s definitely a ‘What…

Neloms posted links to a set of YouTube vids that represent a school project in which Othello is reproduced (well, sort of) in the Halo engine. Interesting…(Louis Wu 14:30:11 UTC)

2P START! had a comic this week that looked back at the music of Halo; I think their predictions might be a bit off. Thanks, Walshicus.(Louis Wu 22:29:47 UTC)

Red vs Blue Episode 98, Same old, same old, went up for sponsors this morning. (It’ll be up for the general public sometime Monday, probably.) The storyline gets even more complicated (on its way to a conclusion in the next two episodes) – and there w…

The surfing comic Blue and Blond has a Halo 3-related strip today – thanks, Mathijs Buster.(Louis Wu 22:19:07 UTC)

Great article at Austin360.com, focusing on the 100-episode run of Red vs Blue, coming to an end in the next few weeks. It includes a look back on the influence RvB has had on the machinima genre, as well as some of the best moments in the series. Giv…
