Hey – where’s the shoulder emblem?
Hawty McBloggy was faced with some unexpected snow this past week, so she did what any true Halo fan would do – she built a Spartan Snowman. It comes complete with plasma grenade, spike grenade, and even a katana. (Yes, that snowman got all the achievements.) (Louis Wu 15:44:03 UTC)

That’s not a job I’d take in a million years.
Wow. Here are some guys with ambitious goals. Grant Harrison is the vice president for the integrated consumer experience at Humana, and it’s his job to bring health information media to the masses. He knows it’s boring, and complicated. His goal? He wants health care providers to make health information and activities “entertaining.”“It should be as fun as playing Halo 3, or watching Flight of the Conchords.”
Um… you’ve got a long road ahead of you, Mr. Harrison.(Louis Wu 15:39:24 UTC)

Fathom: The Director’s Cut
Mythica was hiccuping yesterday (a taste of things to come? Remember, you’ve only got until the end of this month to download what you want from there), so I wasn’t able to announce a Director’s Edition (basically, commentary by blackouTT) of Fathom, which had a trailer released last July. If you swing by the HaloGrid forum now, you can find mirrors (WMP9 and QuickTime) being hosted by GamingTV. You might find it interesting to see how these guys worked with each other and put this film together. (blackouTT also invites you to swing by the website of Eden Visuals, his recently-renamed media production vehicle.)(Louis Wu 15:34:32 UTC)

Episode 147: Floodgate Campaign Show
Download | Shownotes
This week we’re joined by Lancelot59, Halo PC fanatic and Halo 3 campaign aficionado. We read off the Halo Nation’s tips on how to hold the flood at bay in Halo 3’s campaign level floodgate. There’s also some stimulating discussion about important topics such as Tom Selleck’s mustache. Pod Art is by me this week as I wanted to explain just where those two pesky flood are that apparently have the coveted skull in this level. Show’s about 1:03.
Also quick note, I’ll be out of town for the next two weeks but JVB and Dialpex will keep the show going in my absence. Keep on fraggin’ trucks!

RT: Mile High Club
I guess I should point out that this little series of comics is in fact true (aren’t they all), and that Gus and I can no longer be in the same room together. (too much sexual tension)

So today’s comic is either true or not true. I’m not telling. Gus and I swore that we’d never speak of that night…that beautiful, romantic night. In other news, today’s sponsor comic is hanging out waiting for you to read it. It’s here. Don’t make it wait…

You’re not the boss of me
Over at Rampancy.net, OldNick takes a look at boss battles in Halo 2, and Halo 3, and discusses what makes sense and what doesn’t. The followup comments from Narcogen and others are also very insightful. Great discussion!(Louis Wu 14:11:11 UTC)

G4’s Speedrun Coverage
When Halo 3 launched, a couple of High Speed Halo regulars hooked up with G4TV and agreed to run Halo 1, live, on legendary, in LA, during the kickoff ceremonies. Cody Miller stopped by last night to post G4’s coverage of the event. I wish they’d called them ‘speedrunners’ instead of ‘speed gamers’… but that’s just a nitpick, I guess.(Louis Wu 13:51:08 UTC)

The Halo Shoe – from Adidas this time
Ross Mills pointed out a blog post at Complex.com that looks at a new, ultra-limited run of Halo-themed shoes, created by Adidas for Gil Arenas. (“Ultra-limited” means 100 pairs, total. No, you’re not getting one.) Narcogen mentioned this as well, though he found it at Kotaku (who, in turn, got it from Complex). This means different things to different people – read each site’s spin (and toss your own comments into the thread Ross started).(Louis Wu 13:45:43 UTC)

Halo Wars – new concept art, new rumors
If you swing by the Halo Wars website, you’ll find another concept art offering – this time, it’s a Forerunner mining machine that’s since been cut from the game. Gorgeous piece, and it looks like it was a pretty cool concept! Thanks, Mike Smith. (Mike also points out a random blog post that suggests that there’ll be an exclusive sneak peek at Peter Jackson’s “Halo: Chronicles” (first time I’ve heard that name) bundled with Halo Wars, when it ships. More on that if something comes of it.)(Louis Wu 13:39:16 UTC)
