Final Boss, Karma on top at MLG Chicago
It’s all over but the writeups – MLG Chicago finished up yesterday, with Final Boss beating out Storm Ventures (twice) for the 4v4 win, and Karma holding on to his 1v1 winning streak. Full brackets are here. The full writeup of the 4v4 finals should be interesting – we’ll let you know when it’s up! Thanks to 3Suns for the multiple notices.(Louis Wu 11:03:36 UTC)

Story Page Gadfly Bites Two, Leaves Dog Alone
Those who’ve complained that Rampancy hasn’t updated in quite some time are quite correct. While I’ve no excuse, I do have a reason, and the reason is that the most recent bit of information about Halo 3 has slowed to a trickle, and that trickle has now been over-analyzed, much as two boys with twigs might poke and prod at a rivulet of sudsy water running through a patch of sand without ever deducing the existence of a car wash.
While the various fan forums contain far too much rampant speculation to digest, let alone refute, the Halo Story Page provides a convenient place to separate the wheat from the chaff before setting it, too, aflame.
To wit, today’s contributions regarding the Prophet of Mercy, Master Chief and the Flood, and Cortana.

Comedy Skit Series Ep 2
MaritalBlaze54 submitted another comedy vid to the MPRRS; shorts from Mitch Hedburg and Dane Cook, set to Halo action. The reviewers gave it a thumbs-up, so grab a copy in either WMP9 format (28.3 mb) or QuickTime format (30.8 mb). Don’t forget your cranium accessories!(Louis Wu 18:52:40 UTC)

The Crumpet Speaks
Jillybean, poked by our very own Stuntmutt, posted an update to the Halo Story page – she gave Stuntmutt his moment in the sun (yeah, he needs more of those), but also gathered up a few choice morsels from the banquet table that is the Halo Story mailbag (including, of course, a random shot at Cortana – what Jillybean update would be complete without a shot at Cortana?); go read. (Wow, that was all one sentence. Must be Sunday.)(Louis Wu 17:07:55 UTC)

H3DA looks at the HGN
Ivan Jiron sent us word of the Halo 3 Data Archive, a Halo blog that normally looks at the Bungie Weekly Update, but this week chose to cover the Halo Graphic Novel instead (including speculation about tie-ins to Halo 3). Give it a read! (Again – this one contains HGN spoilers.)(Louis Wu 14:34:31 UTC)

HGN Goodies
If you’ve read the Halo Graphic Novel, there are a bunch of fun tidbits in this forum post, courtesy of Mr. Paul; he spent some time grilling Robt McLees. (If you haven’t read it yet… wait.)(Louis Wu 14:29:37 UTC)

QuickTactical’s WMM Tutorial
QuickTactical wrote up a pretty comprehensive guide for using Windows Movie Maker – if you’re just getting started in Halo machinima, and you have a PC, you DEFINITELY should read this piece. He originally posted it on the HaloGrid forums – but gave us permission to host it here, as well. Awesome stuff – a top-notch resource!(Louis Wu 01:20:40 UTC)

The End Has No End
Heh – Mintz found a Hooked on Polygon comic that takes sharp aim at the internet rumor mill, and specifically the ridiculousness that occurs when people are dying for Halo movie info. Spot on.(Louis Wu 01:08:13 UTC)

Monthly Halo Comic – Summer 2007
Whoa, funky. Apparently, a monthly Halo comic, a joint venture from Bungie and Marvel and debuting next summer, was announced during a panel about the Halo Graphic Novel given yesterday at Comic-Con. More info when we know it – but you can read a short article about it at IGN. Thanks, Starbuck.(Louis Wu 12:51:09 UTC)

Tetris Forever
Chairleg Productions released Episode 2 of their new series, MPs, this week. This one is shaping up to be amazing – really high production values, including fantastic audio, beautifully-integrated effects, and really smooth cinematography. Humor continues to be high, and character development is really strong. We’re helping out with a mirror of the WMP9 version (40.2 mb), and providing a QuickTime version as well (40.6 mb). Check it out!(Louis Wu 12:46:58 UTC)

The Kings of Midship meet the Lords of Lockout

Johnson Speaks.
As we mentioned a few hours ago, Rockslider uncovered a new speech by Sarge, normally not audible in-game because Johnson is (usually) encountered dead on a pelican… in that time, Captain Spark reproduced the situation and recorded the snippet. You can find it in our Dialogue Databank. (The discussion is still going on in Rockslider’s thread.)(Louis Wu 02:51:32 UTC)
