  • Legendary Map Gameplay – Full Game

    So, we sort of wanted to give people a taste for how the new maps played – there are already a few films around the net showing them off, but gameplay on the ones I’ve seen leaves something to be desired. I figured, we had fun during the Humpday challenge – I could just convert…

  • Flag Cap as a story

    naveeda found a video created by puddin, over at the 2old2play forums, showing off a very nicely composed flag capture – great music, great angles. The footage was captured off a TV, which makes it less crisp than some would like – but it’s absolutely watchable. Nice job! Go watch.(Louis Wu 13:23:10 UTC)

  • Legendary Press – final entries

    The last couple of attendees to Bungie’s Legendary map press event posted their stories late Friday – I never got around to recognizing them. Check out Mr Sark’s interview with Brian Jarrard at G4TV, and IGN’s Hands-On. If you missed the first two batches, they’re here and here. (Louis Wu 13:17:07 UTC)

  • Don’t Stop the Music

    Hellhawk created a small vid for entertainment during intermission at a movie contest – it should make you smile. Go watch! (Louis Wu 13:06:29 UTC)

  • Jump

    RVideo dropped off a single panorama yesterday – it’s pretty cool. Check out the Artifact… moments before the jump.(Louis Wu 13:05:03 UTC)

  • Unforgotten Piano Tutorial

    Renovatio Music has a video tutorial to help you play Unforgotten on a piano. (The link goes to Part 2 – I couldn’t find a direct link anywhere to Part 1, but if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, it’s the last video on the right.) Looks pretty useful, if you’re trying…

  • Bait MasterPaper

    ZZoMBiE13, upon request, has sent us a panel from yesterday’s installment of Another Halo Comic Strip sized for widescreen wallpaper. Go spruce up! (Louis Wu 12:59:00 UTC)

  • In a Flash

    Dennis Powers let us know that Shipwrecked Episode 9 is up – things just got quite a bit more serious. (Louis Wu 12:58:23 UTC)

  • Bait Master

    Today’s episode of Another Halo Comic Strip shows why the Covenant have an edge when it’s time to go fishing.(Louis Wu 20:29:10 UTC)

  • A missing piece of Contact Harvest (for Audio Book buyers)

    Jordan117 bought the Audio Book version of Contact Harvest – and realized after the fact that he’d missed the post-epilogue section of the book – which was sad, because it’s a powerful ending to the story itself. He decided to transcribe the ending, for others in his situation. (If you haven’t read the book yet,…

  • Free Gamerpics and a Theme from McFarlane

    Hawty McBloggy noticed that McFarlane Toys will be providing a cool gamer picture pack, and a dashboard theme, for your LIVE decor – and both are free. Nice-looking stuff!(Louis Wu 20:16:29 UTC)

  • Pistol Render

    A few days ago, Flinet posted some renders of a Halo pistol he’s been working on – we managed to miss the forum post. He followed up today with an email – so go look!(Louis Wu 20:12:45 UTC)

  • A Fleshy Pulse

    Over at Ascendant Justice, vociferous takes a look at multiplayer. Typically in-depth and thorough. Thanks, Jironimo.(Louis Wu 15:37:56 UTC)

  • Marathon Man – A New Beginning

    Sniper2477 stopped by to announce Marathon Man – “A New Beginning”, the latest episode of his ongoing machinima. I had a little trouble with the story, and one gratuitously silly scene, but otherwise a fine effort.(Louis Wu 15:37:36 UTC)

  • It’s a Wonderful Live Episode 3

    J23 noticed that It’s a Wonderful Live Episode 3 has been posted – slower and more rambling than earlier episodes, but still with its standard rants at LIVE silliness. (Louis Wu 15:37:15 UTC)

  • CovieCast Episode 3

    Dream053 reports that The CovieCast Episode 3 is up. Go listen!(Louis Wu 15:36:56 UTC)

  • Where are they now?

    oddgodhmk worked on a comic featuring Cortana. Not really polite, but the artwork’s cool.(Louis Wu 15:36:37 UTC)

  • Grifball Mania Grips the Nation!

    Quikthnkr has been really busy with Grifball stuff – there’s a video showing you how NOT to play Grifball, a promotional video explaining how Someday-Night Grifball will work, and the recording of the first run-through of an actual GAME of Someday-Night Grifball. (This is a spectator version of the sport.) Go check it all out!(Louis…
