You’d think, after ALMOST missing the posting of Another Halo Comic Strip on Thursday, I’d be more careful for a little while… nope. I missed Saturday’s posting, because… ah, I have no excuse. It’s too bad, though, because ZZoMBiE13 is tackling the tough subjects these days – this one has science, and everything. Go read.(Louis…

New Luke McKay artwork, in honor of Reconstruction, was posted today in his RvB image library. We’ve added it to his gallery here at HBO.(Louis Wu 22:20:27 UTC)

The Rooster Teeth crew have announced a new machinima series – Reconstruction. These guys will show you why they’re the best-known Halo machinimators out there – the trailer looks fantastic, and should leave you drooling for the first episode. This one definitely looks more serious than the original RvB series (though Burnie says “don’t let…

nomis78 put together a giant panorama of the Control Room on the Ark (from near where you fight the double-scarab battle). There’s some distortion due to the sheer size of this puppy – but it’s a pretty cool image. Check it out!(Louis Wu 17:57:40 UTC)

The Grifball Spring League Week One Highlights are available for watching at grifball.com. (The Ajax stuff that controls which movie you watch seems to remember which one you LAST watched – so if you find yourself watching the Social Highlights, make sure you select the proper movie from the list.) The highlights are awesome, but…

Adam Grumbo is selling a life-sized, plastic resin assault rifle on eBay; you’ve only got another day to bid. (It was a three-day listing, but we didn’t hear about it until last night, and I’m just now getting to posting it.) Current bid is $75, and this puppy looks SHARP. (He’s included photos of a…

The Bungie Weekly Update is now live over at Bungie.net (thanks, Vandle Valsher) – there’s some awesome info about Forge, as it’ll work with the Legendary maps, along with an interview with David Aldridge, a new Bungie Network Engineer hire, and a picture of Shishka that NOBODY should be subjected to. (Thanks, Frankie. You jerk.)…

DigitalPh33r’s Arby ‘n’ the Chief Episode 7 is now up on Machinima.com and YouTube – Chief goes after girls. (You might think the whole Tag thing is over the top… but I’ve got 14-year-olds in the house, and I can say that’s totally real.) The rest of it… man. Thanks, discopete019.(Louis Wu 19:18:50 UTC)

Heh – SarcasticGamer.com has its own take on the whole concept of DoubleXP Weekends. (Bungie spells better than they do, though.)(Louis Wu 19:03:11 UTC)

Over at Teen Ink, there’s a story written by someone who went to their first MLG tournament last summer, in Chicago. Check out how it goes for the non-pros!(Louis Wu 18:03:10 UTC)

Dennis Powers let us know that Shipwrecked Episode 7 is up – I gotta say, if I were Corporal Johnston, I’d think about ways to go solo.(Louis Wu 18:01:56 UTC)

Smurfa noticed that Inside Halo: Episode 10 has been posted to Machinima.com. (It’s also available on YouTube.) SodaGod covers Halo Wars, HaloTube, the top 5 Halo clips of the week, and a summary of the week’s Halo Machinima offerings… with a healthy dose of his bizarre humor. Go watch!(Louis Wu 16:46:55 UTC)

Australian PC World has posted their ’47 Most Diabolical Video-Game Villains of All Time’ (where on EARTH did they get that number from?) – and an old favorite from the Halo series comes in at number 31. Go read! Thanks, Black Six.(Louis Wu 14:40:30 UTC)

UNSC Trooper has jumped into the updating game with a vengeance – the Halo Story Page has seen more activity in the past 4 days than it saw in the prior 6 months. (Jillybean, not to be outdone, has popped her own post up on top – but I’d have to say the driving force…

TTL Demag0gue has posted Reclaimer #40 over at the Reclaimer website. Looks like there’s a bit of bad blood between Ferial and the AI…(Louis Wu 14:32:28 UTC)

Z pointed out a Halo 2 montage from Phurion called ‘Progression’. Encoded in Perian, it seems to need the VLC player to display properly. (The windows version is actually included with the download – but Mac/*nix users can grab it from the VLC homepage.) It’s a monster (almost 300 mb), but it’s fun to see…

FireDragon04 has released a Halo 3 short, set in his ‘Consequences’ universe – there’s a short FAQ on the download page if you are confused after watching. (I was.) Two minutes long, available in divx, wmv, or streaming from YouTube.(Louis Wu 14:26:55 UTC)

zukan stopped by to announce that his ‘be Human’ machinima (it won a special award in our Zune contest last year) will be featured in the upcoming Hull Short Film Festival in mid-April. If you live nearby, go watch! (Random Hull quote: “There’s music on every corner, even if it’s just coming out of the…

Gunluva created ‘Guardian Beat’ – it’s another of his sound effect vids (the first was mentioned a few days ago), this time on Sandtrap. This time around, he’s added an external drum track.(Louis Wu 13:54:22 UTC)
