Pod TV Campaign Runthrough – The Ark
After heading through the portal, you are met my a fleet of brute ships. While the elites take on the brutes, you and several marines head down to some Forerunner installation trying to find a landing zone for the Dawn. After keys has landed, you make your way to the Cartographer blasting through heavy Covenant defenses. Once at the Cartographer, you discover that this installation is the Ark. Guilty Spark has also identified an important part of the installation where Truth is looking to activate the Ark. You then head down for extraction. This is also the first level with the Terminals, which give a little history behind the first Halo event with the Forerunners. There is also the Famine and Cowbell Skulls.

Adam Podcast 4 – Making a Marine Helmet
Adam Grumbo let us know that his Podcast #4 is now up on YouTube. (The first three, which we didn’t know about, are in his YouTube channel if you’d like to watch them.) This focuses on making a Marine helmet (using the ODST helmet we mentioned yesterday)… and also contains a pretty cool contest that has a custom-made AR as a prize. (You’ll have to watch the podcast for contest details.) Great to watch, even if you’re not a helmet builder!(Louis Wu 14:46:36 UTC)

Running the last level of Halo 3 (literally)
Matthew Rivera stopped by last night with some links to videos showing a team of four friends running the final level of Halo 3… on foot. Yes, on foot. (No, they couldn’t COMPLETELY finish; you can’t make the final jump without a vehicle. But other than that one… wow.) Go watch!(Louis Wu 14:42:24 UTC)

Thursday’s Comic Roundup
Once again, by early morning there are multiple Halo comics updated around the web:- Elnea has posted Episode 155 of Halo Action Figure Theater (Baby Doctor (plus some french stuff)) – I can sympathize with the problem in this one, since I have kids too.
- The Catfish told us about 2501 Episode 20 (Counter-Attack), wherein a strange scenario unfolds.
- TTL Demag0gue informed our forum that Part Five of Reclaimer: Mythic Edition (Episode 156, Force Recruitment) is now live, revealing yet another tidbit about Viper.
We really should get back to the dedicated comic site we’d planned to open years ago…(Louis Wu 14:40:18 UTC)

HBO gaming… it’s what’s for dinner
pete_the_duck put together a montage of ‘random little moments’ – there’s nothing spectacular, per se, but watching it brought a smile to my face multiple times. No music, just gameplay. Enjoy! In the same vein, Avateur put up a summary of some HBO-regular-attended gaming nights during the month of February, complete with pics and a montage. The community that plays together, stays together!(Louis Wu 14:39:46 UTC)

Halo Wars Movie Poster – Updated
FireDragon04 has updated his ‘Halo Wars Movie Poster’ (the first draft was mentioned last week), and has produced a collection of variants – you can see them all in his forum post. (We’ve put up local mirrors down at the bottom of the post, in case the originals stop working someday.) I think this one looks great!(Louis Wu 14:39:23 UTC)

Applied to Life – King of the Hill – Halo 3
The ‘Applied to Life’ guy is back with another vid – this one adds some actual Halo footage ‘so it would be easier to relate to Halo’. Personally, I think it would have been better with just the live footage… but hey, he’s the guy making the cool vids! Thanks once again to urk for pointing it out.(Louis Wu 21:37:54 UTC)
