Make your own targets.
sorahn found a site that allows high-quality vectorization of bitmap images (man, I remember when you had to PAY for programs that did that!), and immediately put it to use vectorizing the popup targets from The Pit. Pretty! (EPS files available, for folks who want to populate their OWN shooting galleries.)(Louis Wu 10:56:56 UTC)

The Waiting Game
After a very long hiatus, Mister Froggy is back with a new episode of Halo, Articulated, skewering Marvel Comics for the delays over the Halo comic book. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 10:47:37 UTC)

Podtacular 134: Callins and Tales from the Foxhole
Download | Shownotes
Unfortunately JVB got held up at work this week, but we’ve got a pretty cool show with Rodsmack from XBL 10K Club, MaesterGXL, leader of the Podtacular All-Stars, and of course CapnKrunk with this week’s voice mails. We cover tons of cool tales from the foxhole sent in by listeners this week. There were some really great screenshots to choose from in the gallery but I had to take one from the recent humpday challenge. Show’s about 1:22. Enjoy!

Podtacular Rec E vs. GCN Forums Clan Match
After being delayed twice and then changing the time enough times to give a calendar a headache, Rec E finally took on the boys over at the GCN forums in a five game series. Podtacular Recreation E started off with a strong showing with a full roster of eight players in the lobby while Gamercast Network had only four. Eventually they got six in but couldn’t get the eight they promised so two latecomers had to leave our party. Duff 3c, the GCN team leader talked a big game bu couldn’t make it since he had to attend the Kane and Lynch community event. He handed over team leader to herroan09, a level 41who talked an even bigger (but friendly) game on the boards and got the hype up.
Was their play as big as their words? Read on in the forums.

Reverse yourself on Narrows
Phoenix42 sent us a note yesterday, pointed out a glitch he’d discovered on Narrows. I’d been meaning to test this out myself – but he’s posted it on our forum now, so someone else can confirm it.(Louis Wu 17:49:59 UTC)

You did NOT just call me the N-word.
Yesterday, the latest episode of Pure Pwnage was released – and Jeremy gets all into Halo 3 (until, of course, he hits a snag). If you’ve never watched this series before, you should start at the beginning – we haven’t mentioned it here because (up to now) it’s focused on PC gaming, but it’s a must-see show. Thanks to RVideo for the heads-up (I’d checked yesterday afternoon, but it wasn’t released until late in the evening).(Louis Wu 17:20:53 UTC)

Sexy Cortana
Mitsur was fastest to tell us about a new piece of artwork from popular Deviant reiq, over at DeviantART – Cortana’s looking a little sexier than usual. (Warning – if you poke around the rest of his gallery, be aware ahead of time that much of it is NSFW.)(Louis Wu 14:21:22 UTC)

Game1 Expo – Gaming Down Under
PALGN has an article on the Game1 2007 Expo in Australia (which just wrapped up) – the very first picture in the piece shows a structure I’d LOVE to have in my backyard. Halo was on display at the show, and Halo 3 tourneys were held all day long. Sounds like a fun time!(Louis Wu 14:18:29 UTC)

A reception like never before
Canada.com has an article on Video Games Live, and how it’s actually received by the orchestras they play with. Halo gets only a tiny mention, but it’s an interesting article nonetheless.(Louis Wu 14:13:57 UTC)

Shellshock
Z pointed out a new Halo 2 montage called Shellshock – good gameplay, nice editing. Lots of extras. The download package is over 130 mb (though the actual movie, in .mp4 format, is under 90 mb). Go watch.(Louis Wu 14:11:01 UTC)

Official Halo 3 Soundtrack Website Opens
Greg, at Music4Games, was the first to let us know about the Official Halo 3 Soundtrack website – it’s full of goodies. You can listen to snippets of songs, watch a short (but well-done) remix of the audio portion of the Making Of documentary found on the Essentials Disc One of the Limited and Legendary Editions, read about the discs and the people involved, and (eventually) play in a mini-sandbox of Marty’s devising. Good stuff! (There’s also a thread on our forum, if you want to discuss this.)(Louis Wu 14:01:17 UTC)

That Trigger-Pulling Sound
Elnea is getting closer and closer to Halo Action Figure Theater Episode 100. She SAYS there won’t be any more non-integer versions between here and there, so 99 (posted last night) should be a decent setup… it’s getting scary.(Louis Wu 18:09:10 UTC)
