No Res For The Wicked.
Last week, KP taunted us with pixellated views of some new Halo 3 map in his Humpday writeup. In today’s One One Se7en, Stuntmutt finds the silver lining in that mean nasty KP-sized cloud.(Louis Wu 16:12:37 UTC)

Them Joyride Guys… They’re Serious.
Wow. Stephen Loftus has been known for a while as someone who goes to great lengths to measure the Bungie Haloverse. Recently, he sent two images to be attached to his Scale Comparison article (a UNSC Weaponry Scale Chart and a Covenant Weaponry Scale Chart – these are both recreations of existing images, but with a twist; he’s photographed all the accessories that come with the Halo Action Figures. I’m telling you… for toys, it’s amazing how much effort went into making sure they were to the proper scale! Check these out.(Louis Wu 15:30:52 UTC)

After 4 years, Halo’s still in the lineup
Three years ago, IGN started a Top 100 Games of all time list (updated annually, of course) – Halo came in 39th. The following year, IGN let the readers decide – Halo and Halo 2 placed 18th and 19th, respectively, on the list. In 2005, it was back to the editors – Halo placed 30th, Halo 2 wasn’t even on the list. (Ouch!) A week or so ago, they started listing this year’s winners (thanks, Brian O’Sullivan) – it wasn’t until Thursday that the full standings of the Halo franchise were known. (This year, Halo placed 14th, and Halo 2 placed 25th.) You really gotta wonder how much of this is darts on a dartboard… and how much is careful analysis. Thanks to HaloPlanet for reminding me to revisit the top 100 site.(Louis Wu 20:22:12 UTC)

Terminal Dogs – Redux
A couple of weeks ago, we mentioned the machinima project ‘Terminal Dogs’ – it was being hosted on machinima.com and YouTube. I guess Krad Productions wanted to widen the viewership, because they submitted the film to the MPRRS – and the reviewers liked it. We’re hosting a WMP9 version (24.7 mb) and a QuickTime version (23.3 mb). Once again – this is a couple of scenes from the fantastic movie ‘Reservoir Dogs’, recreated in Halo.(Louis Wu 16:54:09 UTC)
