The Long Night just got shorter.

Suck it!

Let’s learn how to show players the future.

We have comic, people.

Morpheus stopped in with word of a Halo 3 communitage that’s been years in the making – production values on the trailer are quite high, but as he mentions in his forum post, if you’re not a screamo fan, you’re gonna hate the music. (Louis Wu 19:41:20 UTC)

Just yesterday, we pointed out a trailer for Siliconmaster482’s Precipice, his Halo CE map with custom lightmaps. Surprise – it’s already ready for download! You can find links in his forum post.(Louis Wu 14:38:45 UTC)

b0anerges is back with ANOTHER cool minigame – this time, you can play Skeeball in Reach! The scoring mechanism is really cool. Check it out!(Louis Wu 14:37:47 UTC)

Davis Beutler created an experimental film inspired by Halo – it uses audio from the Halo 2 and 3 Official Soundtracks, and leans heavily on T.S. Eliot’s ‘The Hollow Men’ (which has been used several times over the course of the Halo series). Interesting! (Louis Wu 14:36:53 UTC)

CaptainTony noticed that Marvel will be releasing a new comic miniseries starting in February – it focuses on the Covenant, apparently. (There’s no word about this on Marvel’s website, so it’s POSSIBLE that this is just a reprint of an earlier series.)(Louis Wu 14:36:02 UTC)

AlphaGamma stopped in with the news that noprips, a DeviantART denizen, has whipped up a new Reach image – it celebrates Emile and Noble Six. Fantastic work!(Louis Wu 14:35:15 UTC)

CruelLEGACEY sent word that there’s a new page called ‘Funny Clips’ – they’re individual clips for folks who don’t have time to watch his full Fail videos. (If you watch his montages, you’ve already seen these.) Check ’em out for small doses of teh funni!(Louis Wu 14:34:44 UTC)

GodlyPerfection is back from a holiday break with a new Forge lesson for you – this one is called ‘Foreshadowing’. Give it a read, and you’ll find tips on making maps more navigable to first-time users! (Louis Wu 14:34:15 UTC)

Sorry the comic is late. Luke apparently had way too much fun last night. Don’t worry, I’m going to make him draw this tomorrow. Multiple times.

bs angel kindly sent along a number of interesting tidbits on the Halo Waypoint site right now; check these out!

• The Master Chiefs Top 10 New Years Resolutions is fan-created – data was collected on Twitter (via a Waypoint-generated question).
• Johan got a Master Chief leg tattoo – nice work!
• A road in Illinois has a pretty interesting name! (angel even passed along a history lesson, if you’re up for it.)
• Novella is a Halo 3 Campaign trick jumping montage from WtK – pretty amazing stunts!

Go enjoy this first roundup of the new year!(Louis Wu 23:59:54 UTC)
