I’m on a ‘ship!
A tad later than expected – but Bungie has posted an in-depth look at the third and final new Mythic map coming out with Halo 3: ODST next month. recruited Designer Dan Miller, environment artist Jason Keith, and art director Justin Hayward chewed the fat with urk about Heretic, née Midship, and how it came to be part of this package. Have you been wondering about the rocking platform under the sword, and why it’s no longer rocking? Wonder no more – they’ve explained the reasoning. Want to know if anything else is different? Go read. (Don’t worry. They worked really hard to make sure your beloved map plays the way it did in Halo 2.) Some new high-res screenies, too. Go look!(Louis Wu 23:09:49 UTC)

Monday Movie Madness
Lots of Halo vids up for your watching pleasure today, courtesy of the BungLog™:- Halo 3 in the Work Place held another Fustoms Friday last week – and they’ve released the recap vid. Seems like they went heavy on the teabagging… but maybe they just spilled the jar or something. (I did that with the vanilla the last time I made a smoothie.)
- Frozen Sprite and Splatter Mac (with almost 22,000 splatters between them) put together ‘Splatter Gods’ – it’s aptly named. Go watch a lot of people get mashed.
- Crazy Fish Productions put together another ninjatage – smack dat back!
- Stewie2552 whipped up his second Slatter Montage, set to some uplifting Beethoven. My favorite moment came at 2:22.
Hours (well, a couple of tens of minutes) of watching enjoyment! (Louis Wu 17:12:31 UTC)

Foreboding Dream- The Way Their World Ended
This is my transcription of ‘Foreboding Dream’, which can be heard on the playbar at http://thewaytheirworldended.com/.
Short intro: The Way Their World Ended (also known as ‘Intimation’ at http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/index.php?f=252) is a fan-made Alternate Reality Game (ARG), based heavily off the I Love Bees ARG which was used to promote Halo 2. It has been running for almost a year now, and is most likely drawing to a close (I think) as of time of writing.
This song is used in the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf6q8EgmVEA&feature=related (Foreboding Dream), hence the title.
This is a transcription of the song, it’s pretty nice to listen to, and not that hard. Pedaling, dynamics, etc. are left to the pianist’s discretion, there are some guidelines in the sheet music, but I would recommend listening to the original (which sounds better than the midi at any rate).
Have fun!
