Ducain has put together his ‘pie in the sky wishlist’ for Halo 3 single player; things he wishes would show up in the upcoming campaign. Give it a read – and let him know what you think (either as a comment to that HIH newspost, or in the thread he started on our forum).(Louis Wu…

Sigafoos writes to say that The Riot 33 has been posted – community news, Mandy Patinkin, and Equilibrium (the 2002 Sci-Fi movie). And stuff. 23 minutes, 10 mb.(Louis Wu 19:25:09 UTC)

RVideo has been panoraming again (yeah, I know it’s not a word) – this time, he jumped into a modded skin for Zanzibar, and got some spectacular sunset shots. Check ’em out!(Louis Wu 17:07:25 UTC)

Frankie stopped by the NeoGAF forum yesterday to state pretty definitively that the ‘new thing’ (mentioned in this week’s Bungie Weekly Update) is NOT video-related… which pretty much rules out flycams, spectator cams, and all the other variants that have been the frontrunners in the speculation threads on OUR forum, at least. Thanks, Drakkari.(Louis Wu…

QsKGlobal has overhauled their website, and they’re kicking off a new Montage contest – you’ve got about 6 months, and there’s currently $250 in the prize pool (though they’re hoping that will go up). Check it out!(Louis Wu 17:01:16 UTC)

Rockslider continues to document new and fun ways of fighting battles you’ve been through a thousand times. Check out his rejoined landing battle on Silent Cartographer.(Louis Wu 16:59:29 UTC)

Dojorkan grabbed a really nice image, and turned it into an icon. (You can see it textless, as well.) Perfect!(Louis Wu 16:56:50 UTC)

highwaters, who let us know last week about a suit of Mjolnir armor he’s been building, posted a movie yesterday showing that armor in use around town. If you have trouble with the MySpace vid in that first post, you can find a YouTube link in this post. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 16:46:55 UTC)

Sbear sent word that the Heretic Action Trailer has been released – this is the second of two trailers released for an upcoming series from Edgeworks Entertainment. This one should pump you up… and you don’t have to wait long for start of the actual series – release date looks to be [censored]. Update: Wow.…

MLGPro.com has put up an interview with FBI GamerGraffix – thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 22:20:55 UTC)

zech ray found a decent piece of machinima linked from the Codex Series forums – it’s a trailer for Halo: War Journal ‘Last Dance’, and it’s hosted at YouTube. It tells the story of a heroic last stand by 300 Spartans against an overwhelming Covenant force. If you’ve got an extra 5 minutes this Saturday,…

Over at the Red vs Blue Sponsors forum, there’s a new sponsors extra – How Babies are Made. It’s in Flash format, and it basically gives away the secret to how Tucker’s baby is filmed. (Hint – it’s WAY more low-tech than most people thought it was.) Pretty cool! Thanks to MffnMn for the heads-up.(Louis…

Mister Froggy let us know that Halo, Articulated #8 has been posted. Poor Barbie!(Louis Wu 13:49:29 UTC)

Planet Xbox 360 has an opinion piece about MLG, and whether or not they have what it takes to be ‘taken seriously’. Read it for yourself – but I have to say, and I’m saying this as an MLG outsider, some of the arguments used in the piece are silly. The author argues that watching…

We got a note from Tim Dadabo, the voice of 343 Guilty Spark; he recently bought a new utility for his wife, and it gave him an idea for a product Microsoft could market. Imagine getting your house cleaned by 343 Guilty Suck… with Tim’s voice saying things like “MMMMMmmm Hmmmmmm Oh Hello! Please… let…

As is usual on Fridays, the Bungie Weekly Update got posted last night – it’s a short one, with a little bit of info about XBL playlists (Team SWAT is making a comeback next month, unranked), a cool little bit of Halo 3 Alpha trivia, and a teaser for a new… SOMETHING. Hard to tell…

A couple of weeks ago, Edge put their January 2007 article on Bungie online for all to read – and an enormous number of gaming news outlets jumped on a single quote from the piece – the one where Chris Butcher, expressing his disappointment with the gap between what he felt Halo 2 COULD have…

Over at MLGPro.com, Ogre 2 has written up his thoughts about being voted Best Overall Player by his peers. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 18:28:40 UTC)

Stuntmutt looks at the problem with ringers in today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 16:21:59 UTC)

Eric Trautmann was asked recently to review Lost Planet – and in doing so, he took a look at storytelling in general in videogames. In specific, he looked at Halo, and pointed out that there’s a clear difference between ‘story’ and ‘plot’ – and Halo has more of the latter than the former. There’s no…
