Robbie Bach, Microsoft’s President of Entertainment and Devices, was recently interviewed by Dean Takahashi – and he suggested that if Microsoft doesn’t find an outside backer for the Halo movie, they won’t make it at all. (He doesn’t think it makes sense for Microsoft to be in the movie business, so if they can’t…

    Sigafoos writes to point out The Riot #26, posted yesterday. Lots of community news, lots of word discussions, and the dark side of fanboyism – go listen! (21 minutes, 8.5 mb)(Louis Wu 18:22:27 UTC)

    Yesterday’s Pixellated Pupils contained a Halo nod – I gotta say, it might be fun to PREPARE, but I wouldn’t be interested in EATING the meal those guys are making. Thanks, AngelicLionheart.(Louis Wu 17:23:36 UTC)

    Laird stopped by our forum last night to announce the release of the trailer for Halo: Unyielding Part 2. It’s 47 mb in WMP9 format, 20 mb in QuickTime format – certainly made ME want to see the final product! Update: This movie is mirrored at GamingTV.org, as well.(Louis Wu 17:17:21 UTC)

    XBWFeenix went to the Video Games Live show in London this weekend, and shakey-cammed the Halo 3 theme performance. (He had a press pass, but the attendant didn’t understand – hence the subterfuge.) Link is in his forum post.(Louis Wu 19:31:55 UTC)

    Something Awful posted major plot points from Halo 3, just to spoil you. Funny, but not particularly polite. (Careful who’s reading over your shoulder.) Thanks to Narcogen at Rampancy.net for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 17:08:02 UTC)
