  • Some mods are FUN.

    Hawty McBloggy ran across a video showing off a Halo 3 mod that would be a BLAST to play with; a couple of guys created a functional 1950’s style UFO, and removed the killzone between the Sandbox Sky Bubble and the main level. Check it out!(Louis Wu 13:02:02 UTC)

  • Grin + Bear It – I am.

    Today’s Grin + Bear It, at HMB, moves away from tasteless jokes and into the realm of tasteless disability jokes. At least it’s consistent…(Louis Wu 18:58:53 UTC)

  • Wait, wait… killikatari?

    Morpheus put together a quiz that asks you about the names of Halo series medals. How good is your multiplayer memory?(Louis Wu 18:56:59 UTC)

  • Brokeback Time

    Yesterday’s Top Ten Halo 3 Screenshots collection is called ‘Brokeback Time’, and there are some AMAZING screenshots in there. I think ‘Fractured’ and ‘Demoralized’ are my two favorites – but there’s really not a bad shot in the group. Go look.(Louis Wu 21:48:16 UTC)

  • MadAtoms: Video Game Speed Dating

    There aren’t a lot of comics being updated regularly any more, so fixed-day updates make less sense. GandhiArnold stopped in with a link to MadAtoms, a humor blog. Video Game Speed Dating takes a funny look at various video game characters, and the trials they might have to endure. Master Chief is present.(Louis Wu 21:33:07…

  • The Port that Wouldn’t Die

    Man, oh man… you write something down and put it on the internet, SOMEONE’s gonna find it. Matt Waggle is a 3D and Concept Artist that’s been working in the game industry for about 5 years. For the first half of 2007, he was working as a contractor on Halo 3. If you check his…

  • A followup on the BWU…

    What does it mean when you feel the need to update your dev blog with a line like “steve cotton is working on one of the craziest things ever in a halo game.” (and absolutely nothing else)? I guess it means Steve’s doing something droolworthy!(Louis Wu 17:09:51 UTC)

  • For the record, she LOVES his air viola move.

    Bungie’s Weekly Update is live – lots of little Reach tidbits (most of which don’t actually SAY anything, but all of them will get you titillated), details about the Emblem contest, podcast woes, and voicework of the stars. And a sad farewell to BeserkerBarage. Go read! (It is, as always, also available in our Weekly…

  • ODST ZBrush Character Model

    Brighton rendered a turntable of his ODST model created with ZBrush; pretty cool! (It’s still a work in progress; he’s got more slickness to add.) Tell him what you think on our forum.(Louis Wu 20:43:40 UTC)

This will take place on March 10, in San Francisco, during the Games Development Conference. Sounds intriguing!(Louis Wu 18:05:36 UTC)
