As promised (I BET YOU THOUGHT I FORGOT! HAH!), there’s another batch of Miscellaneous Art posted today – sketches, paintings, even a panorama. Go see! (No, the queue’s not empty yet.)(Louis Wu 18:22:02 UTC)

Moorhead let us know about Enigma, his new machinima series – Chapter 1 is up on YouTube now. It’s a mystery! (Nice cinematography.)(Louis Wu 18:08:37 UTC)

Dennis Powers stopped by our forum to point out Shipwrecked Episodes 26, 27, and 28 – looks like someone’s been watching some Newman/Redford movies!(Louis Wu 17:57:02 UTC)

Back in 2003, Ross Mills created a Halo music video set to Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, using footage from Halo. There’ve been versions since then… but today HeavenlyYeti pointed out a Halo 3 version posted on YouTube back in March, created by a group known as Frenchie Films Productions – pretty nice work! Check it out. (Louis Wu 17:29:07 UTC)

Mariachi found a great parody of the fantastic Discovery Channel “I love the whole world” commercial (original viewable here) – you can watch it at CollegeHumor.com, or at GamersProdigy, the site that made it. It’s not all Halo – but it’s all good.(Louis Wu 14:17:26 UTC)

Ascendant Justice continues with their Hindsight series, walking through each level of Halo 3. Yesterday, they released Floodgate, a short level which nevertheless signals a major turning point in the game. As always, the level of detail is very, very high – you’ll likely read a few points you never noticed while playing the game. The Addendum, as usual, provides a Legendary runthrough of the game. Thanks, mendicantbias00 (and DHalo).(Louis Wu 14:07:38 UTC)

Sam152, of Halo Wars Addict, let us know that his site has posted an interview with the owner of HaloCrusades.com – the home of an online Halo RPG. (There’s not much to see at the website itself, unless you set up an account… so if you’re interested in this sort of thing, you’ll have to explore on your own!)(Louis Wu 13:57:17 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy found a video about a rather strange affliction – not sure I see the humor in it that she does, but it definitely had its moments.(Louis Wu 13:44:30 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue mentioned that Reclaimer 54 is now available for viewing – it uses some nice screenshots gleaned from Haloscreenshots.net, and the news post suggests that if you’d like to participate in the NEXT episode, your own screens might be used.(Louis Wu 13:40:51 UTC)

ReleasetheMonk has added a new parody to his action movie series – Halo: Impossible uses cutscene footage and music we all know and love to give you the flavor of a popcorn-munching experience.(Louis Wu 13:39:08 UTC)

Rooster Teeth has posted a Director’s Commentary on Chapter 3 of RvB: Reconstruction for sponsors – it contains lots of information about how they expect this season to play out, and it shows off how they implemented one of the cooler effects in this episode. Definitely worth a watch! (Louis Wu 13:35:03 UTC)

Another note at Bungie.net – apparently, the tweaks applied to the Ranked Big Team Battle playlist (in terms of game variety, and the bonus of double experience points through June) has boosted population enough that Bungie is not currently worried about having to cancel the list. (That’s not to say if everyone leaves tomorrow, they won’t reconsider – but for now, it’s safe.)(Louis Wu 13:31:50 UTC)

MLGPro.com has posted a San Diego Preview article, giving you some ideas about who to watch in the upcoming gameplay this weekend. Go give it a read! (Thanks to Bungie’s blog for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 13:29:02 UTC)

We’ve always thought of the Master Chief as the Last Great Hope of Mankind – but Alexander Farr (a guest artist for ZZoMBiE13’s Another Halo Comic Strip) wonders what things would be like if he were a little less… altruistic.(Louis Wu 20:17:25 UTC)
