I should learn. Every once in a while, AssaultGodzilla drops by our forum and announces a music video, and I think, oh, man, not another one… but I watch it… and every time, I come away surprised – because AssaultGodzilla has a notable talent for creating well-synched, moving Halo vids. I don’t like the song, and I feel that in general, music videos compiled from Halo cutscenes have been done so often that getting an audience excited is really difficult – but ‘How You Remind Me‘ does a fantastic job of synching Halo 2 (and a little Halo 3) footage to music. Go look – it’s worth it.(Louis Wu 12:03:08 UTC)

kabu stopped in with word of a new HBO Fan Fic Pick of the Week, written by eb4642. Apparently, there were some decent submissions last week!(Louis Wu 12:02:37 UTC)

It’s Wednesday, so it’s time to update Bungie Favorites – it’s the second week’s worth of content from Team BackFire. Go read about one of their maps… and then check out the rest!(Louis Wu 19:15:55 UTC)

Marty O’Donnell talked to GameZone about music, Bungie, and Halo – and maybe a few other little things. Go read!(Louis Wu 19:13:11 UTC)

In case you’ve forgotten – today is October 7, which means there’s a new 7 on the 7th playlist active right now. If you don’t have the 7 on the 7th Vidmaster Achievement… log on today! (As it was last month, the list is comprised of user-built maps, so there’s much fun to be had.)(Louis Wu 17:56:58 UTC)

Some new movies for you, courtesy of Bungie’s Comm Chatter:

• 3-D Halo is a stereoscopic Halo machinima – doesn’t really seem to have a plot, except to show you cool angles of Halo stuff flying at you and such. (Needs either 3-D glasses or the ability to unfocus your eyes.)
• Knights of the Goose is a Halo 3 montage mostly covering vehicles.
• Chronicles of Lyle Extra shows off montages from both Lyle and Kyle

Not as strong as some movie collections, but hey, it’s mid-week… folks are busy.(Louis Wu 17:54:15 UTC)

GrimBrother One noticed an article at Kotaku about Moonshot Games, a development company formed by ex-Bungie employees who all have extensive experience on Halo games. Good luck – we’ll be keeping an eye on the team, to see what comes out!(Louis Wu 17:41:46 UTC)

We’ve got a few comics for you today:

• gunluva noticed that this past Sunday’s VG Cats had a Halo mention
• vlad3163 pointed out two strips from Digital Unrest – one the day before ODST dropped (snarky), one the following week (not snarky)
• Hawty McBloggy let us know about ODS Steve 43 (The Fallen Prophet) – some surprising things come to light.

That’s it – go read! (Louis Wu 17:34:46 UTC)
