Neurons Episode 2 – Mirrors Teaser
BlitzSnake sent word that a NEW trailer for Neurons 2 is now up on YouTube. (The last one was posted in February. And if I hadn’t been told this was a Halo machinima, I sure wouldn’t learn that from the new trailer…) (Louis Wu 17:21:11 UTC)

And coming up at the end of August, look for Halo 3 Ultimate Deathmatch – a 1v1 tourney, pistols only! Rules and prizes are listed in the PG announcement. Get fraggin’! (Louis Wu 17:20:25 UTC)

Stride Championship Series, Episode 4
MLGPro.com has posted Episode 4 of its Stride Championship Series – this time it’s Fatal Images vs Ambush on Guardian, and it’s a nailbiter. Thanks to the Bungie Blog for the heads-up (though it’s incorrectly labeled as Part 5 there).(Louis Wu 17:15:49 UTC)

The Lord of the Halo
Wow – ReleasetheMonk continues with his Halo-footage-and-movie-soundtracks mashups – this time, it’s Lord of the Rings, and I have to say, I’m impressed with the timing. Great clip choices, great synching! Go watch. (Louis Wu 21:10:31 UTC)

Wartogs in Mirror are Closer than they Appear
elessar787 noticed a photoshop contest on cracked.com where people added video game items to real-life photos. Halo gets its share of love.(Louis Wu 21:09:31 UTC)

Misc Art Deluge – restoppering dam
Okay, it’s not COMPLETELY clear – there’ve been submissions in the past couple of weeks that haven’t made it in, I think – but the last batch of processed Miscellaneous Art is now up for viewing. Some pretty cool stuff in there today! (I’d have to say my favorites were from Trevor Corbin and Nelson Polanco, though the Halo Transformer’s pretty rad, and Levi Hoffmeier’s stuff continues to rock.) Next up, hopefully – wallpaper.

Free Games for South Africans
You may have noticed – it’s a pretty slow news day, Halo-wise. If you live in South Africa, you’ve got a chance to win a ‘games hamper’ (a collection of 360 games, including Halo 3) just for filling out the form on this page at iafrica.com. Not a bad deal!(Louis Wu 17:57:39 UTC)

Foundry Designer (Forgers Look!)
—
by
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share a new application I found called the Foundry Designer. It is a flash-based application created by the guys over at Forgehub.com which allows you to build a 2D floor plan of your next foundry map!
You can find the Foundry Designer at FH’s website here.
For bandwidth reasons, they have also hosted the application on a Freewebs page, found here.
Very useful for any forger! Happy forging!
(P.S. If you’re really into Forge, check out the Podtacular Forge Team, found here.)
