The Brian Morden foundation has been featured in the Altoona Mirror. For those of you that weren’t around, here is a summary of Brian’s association with Bungie and Bungie fans. It’s good to see the Angels continue the good fight. Many thanks to Dawn, Brian’s mom, for the update.(Ding 16:52:37 UTC)

Halo 300
bikeman704 remade the trailer for ‘300’ (the film about Sparta based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel) using Halo footage – it’s all stock, but it’s really well put together. (This is a great counterexample for all those people who say that stock footage is yesterday’s news.) The 13.6 mb WMP9 version is being hosted by Mythica.org – I’m making a QuickTime version (14.2 mb) available, as well, because I like it a lot. Check it out!(Louis Wu 14:34:51 UTC)

Energy Sword for Sale
DHalo noticed an Energy Sword available for purchase on eBay – starting bid is $230, and the auction has 5 days to run. This is the same guy who makes needlers with real crystal (we’ve mentioned him before) – he’s also the guy who won a thousand dollars for his Spartan costume last week. Check it out! The sword looks pretty nice in the dark…(Louis Wu 14:22:17 UTC)

While you were sleeping, they were writing
XerxdeeJ stopped by to point out the last week’s content at Tied the Leader – and there’s quite a bit. You’ll find clan profiles of PraetoriaGuard and 2old2play, a 22 Questions interview with Brannon Boren, a rant about Hollywood’s inability to see past the beancounting, an admission of weakness, and a rant about quitters. Man, they’ve been busy! And they have time to play Halo, too?(Louis Wu 14:14:43 UTC)

JVB has been nominated for Xbox Community Member of the Year!
That’s right, Our buds at Gamertag Radio have nominated JVB as one of the top 6 community members of the year! You might not know how much JVB has done for the Xbox community. He’s written articles on gaming sites, has appeared quite a bit on seatag’s gametalk podcast, maintains one of the most active blogs on seatag, started the naked truth feature at seatag, maintains his 1up blog, become an Xbox Live Ambassador, plays lots of games, and still finds time to spend with his wife and son. Not to mention he’s been through a lot of tough times this year and managed to pull through stronger than ever.
I got nominated too, but with all JVB’s done, I think it’s time we show our support for the greatest Ahnuld impersonator of all time. So get on over to Gamertag Radio and vote! Voting’s only open for a limited time. And while you’re there, be sure to check out their cool site redesign!

EGM Article Info Summarized
Yesterday, Velez got REALLY lucky and found a copy of the December EGM at a local store (way ahead of when it’s supposed to be sold); he’s being good and not posting scans, but he did a nice job of summarizing some of the new information available. You’re still gonna want to read this on your own (and look at all the pretty pictures)… but the info is really nice. (I didn’t post this earlier because it hit Digg.com last night, and I wanted to wait until the bandwidth crunch was over before adding to the load.)(Louis Wu 03:06:34 UTC)

Easter Eggs EVERYWHERE
Heh – the new EU commercial for the Xbox 360, Cops and Robbers, shows some cars with nicely customized license plates. Gears of War, 1106 (wait, that’s NOW!), and Halo 3, 07 (sounds about right) – fun homage! Nice catch by Wolverine Monkey. (Screengrabs in this post.)(Louis Wu 02:41:50 UTC)

Weekly Porridge #42: Sating the Peoples’ Hunger
Quality Jeverage is back to address the big question once and for all: “When do I get to be on Weekly Porridge?” Looks like you might have your wish! I think. More jabber in the forums.

Halo 3 Content at 1up.com
The 1up and EGM editors who got to visit Bungie Studios about a month ago are finally starting to talk, beginning the onslaught of information you’ll be seeing from them over the coming three weeks. They’ve all posted blog updates about their trips to Bungie and limited first impressions of the game. Check out Halo3.1up.com for the updates.

It’s A Phallusy.
Ever since the term ‘Man Cannon’ was mentioned (as a new feature on the maps played by the journalists who visited Bungie last month), folks have been making snide comments about it. Stuntmutt decided to get ALL of this out of the way by simply hammering the sexual innuendo into the ground. Go read today’s One One Se7en, and then let’s move on to more mature ridicule, okay?(Louis Wu 19:28:35 UTC)

Play it again, Sam
Lots of new features will make their first appearance in the Halo series in Halo 3. One of the most anticipated is films – the ability to replay the action from the last game, with camera control. To get a sense for where this particular feature stands, swing by KP’s Red vs Blue Journal – registration is required, but it’s free – and check out his description of a replay from a hotly contested game. I’m getting shivers just thinking about it!(Louis Wu 19:16:30 UTC)

1Up Halo Torrent Starts
The flood of Halo info from EGM has started – you can find blog entries from Dan Hsu, Mark MacDonald, and Luke Smith, chock full of personal observations (and in Dan’s case, pictures), now live on the 1Up website. There’s plenty more coming – we’ll keep you informed! Update: Crispin Boyer’s blog is now updated, as well. Thanks, DHalo.(Louis Wu 19:00:57 UTC)

The Best Of GamingVidz
QsK King submitted a montage compiling the best gameplay from GamingVidz.com to the MPRRS (before the shutdown) – it’s a pretty nice montage! Lots of fun kills, nice coordination with the songs. It’s nearly 8 minutes long, but it covers work from a large number of people. You can grab it in WMP9 format (103 mb) or QuickTime format (104 mb).(Louis Wu 18:44:49 UTC)

All dressed up…
Interesting – we got mail from Evelynn, at The Cartoon Doll Emporium – they’ve created a dress up doll of Master Chief. Mjolnir armor… and a ballerina tutu? Go see what you can put on this poor guy!(Louis Wu 16:22:38 UTC)

Halo-Ween Travelogue from TSL
This Spartan Life put together a fun little ‘Halo-Ween’ Travelogue; it’s a celebration of the holiday, more than a serious commentary on things. TSL regular Sgt. Hartsock uploaded a copy of it to YouTube, so you can watch it without using the TSL bandwidth – take a look!(Louis Wu 16:14:34 UTC)
