  • I Can Haz Help?

    A10M1C sent word that Mindless Distortion Productions has just finished up ‘I Can Haz Help?’ – a Halo 3 machinima that follows the travels and travails of a Halo 3 player looking to add Recon to his armor portfolio. Check it out. (Louis Wu 13:53:33 UTC)

  • Watch the claws

    Missed this a couple of days ago, but better late than never… Hawty McBloggy pointed out a pic she found on Flickr, showing off a couple of killer costumes. SOMEBODY’s got cool parents…(Louis Wu 13:52:55 UTC)

  • Bungie Favorites: The Upper Echelon, Week 2

    Yesterday was Wednesday – so the Bungie Favorites section on B.net was updated with a second batch of files from the Upper Echelon folks. Go look!(Louis Wu 13:49:57 UTC)

  • Phenomenon

    AssaultGodzilla is back with another Halo Music Video – this one is set to Thousand Foot Krutch’s ‘Phenomenon’. Timing is quite good.(Louis Wu 13:49:41 UTC)

  • Forge Fun

    Enjoyable things you can do with Forge today (thanks to urk for noticing): Forge Hub is offering a puzzle to challenge the soft squishy parts inside your skull, and Forge Cafe has got a Halloween Forge contest running (I have no clue what the prizes are, because you have to be a group member to…

  • Wednesday Comic Roundup – Geriatric Edition

    Old Friends Week continues in the Halo Comic world. Current staples Reclaimer and ODS Steve have the day off, while old-timers One One Se7en, Calvin and Halo, and Halo Action Figure Theater all have new strips for you. Stuntmutt adds game spoilers to the latest One One Se7en in an attempt to give you excuses…

  • I gotta try that running around thing…

    Hawty McBloggy has posted an article entitled “Top Ten Signs You May Be a Camper” – don’t feel bad if you are, it’s a legitimate strategy. Whoops!(Louis Wu 14:33:01 UTC)

  • Oh when the Chief… goes dancing in…

    Remember that short video (covered with ads and text) of the Master Chief dancing at a Saints game, taken from a CBS broadcast? Someone recorded a minute’s worth of the dance on their iPhone – much better look. Thanks, Dirtbag. (Louis Wu 14:32:15 UTC)

  • Telecoastin’

    Willy stopped in with word of ‘Telecoasting’ – the art of jumping between carefully-arranged teleporters on Forge maps. (This technique has shown up in some obstacle courses, but here it’s just for fun.) Check the videos if you’re confused. (We last reported on this when it was called ‘Telerunning’, back in 2007.)(Louis Wu 14:31:34 UTC)

  • Big Art

    FassinTaak sent us two pieces of art that you might be interested in – the first is a vector PDF (177k) of the ‘Regret’ poster he released a couple of days ago – this can be scaled to any size for printing. The second is a very large, high-quality JPEG (3508×4961, 7.3 mb) of the…

  • ‘Young Frankenstein’ is so appropriate…

    chris101b inserted that dramatic picture of Dare he found yesterday into the video that seems to have inspired it in the first place. Metahumor!(Louis Wu 14:28:02 UTC)

  • Halo 3 High Resolution Emblem Pack

    SK CRISIS created high-resolution images and vectors of every emblem in the Halo 3 collection – you can recreate your character’s emblem in high-res for whatever use you choose. The uncompressed folder of images has 344 items, and weighs in at 18 mb; the compressed .rar file is only 5.3 mb. SK CRISIS made this…

  • The Church of Church

    Luke McKay doodled another scene from an RvB episode yesterday – this one comes from the most recent episode of Recreation, and we’ve added it to his gallery here. Learning you’re a god can only end badly… (Louis Wu 14:25:52 UTC)

  • See Waypoint Early

    According to Major Nelson, the next Xbox LIVE Preview will have access to a preview of Halo Waypoint – so if you’re interested in getting an early peek, swing by Xbox.com and sign up for the preview! (No guarantees; they’re not taking EVERYONE.) Thanks, KP.(Louis Wu 20:58:20 UTC)

  • Know Your Ninja: Sir Fragula

    There’s a new ‘Know Your Ninja’ up on Bungie.net – Sir Fragula holds forth on arms control, old age, and curry. There’s at least one Halo reference in there.(Louis Wu 18:44:14 UTC)

  • WCG USA Halo 3: ODST Locked and Loaded

    World Cyber Games is hosting the ODST: Locked and Loaded Tournament this weekend (October 24 and 25) in New York City. 24 top teams will duke it out for $5k in prizes. You can find more details on this page at TeamXbox.(Louis Wu 17:02:52 UTC)

  • ArmedDragon77 – Vehicular Montage 3

    ArmedDragon77 has a lot of vehicle kills – and now he’s got a new vehicular montage. 8 and a half minutes of boom, splat, boom. Go watch.(Louis Wu 16:58:25 UTC)

  • Cheap Halo Schwag

    dCon V pointed out a pretty decent deal on Halo-themed belt buckles and wallets at ThingFling; $9.99 (plus $6 s/h, though that doesn’t go up if you buy more than one batch) gets you 10 assorted wallets and buckles. Pretty cheap, given what they USED to sell for! You’ve got about 14 hours from the…

  • Dun dun dun….

    chris101b ran across some bizarre behavior near the end of ODST’s campaign – looks like Bungie’s artists were having some internet meme fun during development. If you haven’t finished the campaign, some of the wording in his post might be considered spoiler material – but the picture he presents is not. Funny stuff! (I wish…

  • Smiting is fun

    Red vs Blue Recreation Chapter 18 (‘Hang Time’) went live last night – things are definitely getting messy. Do we know what’s going on? No… not really. Church learns he’s a god… but one with limited powers. Simmons learns he can’t see invisible stuff. And the greatest car chase evar takes place on Sandtrap. Go…
