Clash of the Titans
IGN has posted a comparison of Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3, but leaves the decision about which is a better game up to you. (God forbid you should decide you like both…)(Louis Wu 16:40:56 UTC)

Achievement Generators
Fires7orm pointed out an Achievement generator created by GruntsRUs – but you need to sign in to use it. (If you’d rather not, he listed a few other ones on the web that require no login.)(Louis Wu 16:31:43 UTC)

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!

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)

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)
