Nightstalker
You might remember a guy named Mike Hill - he's done a couple of sketches of Halo subjects. (Yeah, and Reinhold Meissner has climbed a couple of hills.) There was his MC with a Warthog, and Sniper Waiting... well, now there's a new pic called 'nightstalker' (900x1442, 544k); it was created for the Bungie art contest (which closes tomorrow, if you were still planning to enter), and I simply love it. If you enjoy Mike's work, be sure to check out his website, Freefall Graphics. (Be aware that some of it is NSFW.) Update: mnemesis found a pretty slick abstract sketch of a pelican on Mike's site... the Halo material grows! (Louis Wu 20:16:10 UTC) (permalink)
Halo with the Rock Stars
Well, it's been a little while since I've seen a Game With Fame on Xbox Live... but it looks like there's one coming up in a couple of weeks. According to TeamXbox, you can sign up for a chance to play against INXS on Tuesday, January 17. Nice! (Louis Wu 19:31:22 UTC) (permalink)

Today's One One Se7en reminds people that behind many successful ventures are older iterations of those ventures. (Louis Wu 18:16:25 UTC) (permalink)
DOA4 Halo footage at GT
Eep - forgot to post this yesterday - thanks to Capt 0bvious for reminding me. Geary noticed a new trailer at GameTrailers.com, showing off Nicole beating up on some of the other characters in DOA4. It's nice, hi-res footage; not nearly as artistic as Dan Chosich's vid, but high-quality, and fun to watch. (Love the plasma stick!) WMP9 and QuickTime. (Louis Wu 18:09:33 UTC) (permalink)
A new toy
The cutest little guy arrived in the mail yesterday (closeup | for scale)... Halo fans rock. To AngelicLionheart and crew... thanks. When I get sad or stressed, I'll put this guy on my shoulder, and let him suck out my brains. (Louis Wu 15:51:32 UTC) (permalink)

Something Rank In Here
Today's Halo Babies comic is a bitter look at the cheating scene on Xbox Live... methinks Gruntsbane's been hit once too many times. (Louis Wu 14:29:17 UTC) (permalink)
Mission: Impossible III Trailer
Last night, Sniper2477's Mission Impossible 3 Trailer passed the MPRRS - so you can grab it in WMP9 format (28.1 mb) or QuickTime format (20.6 mb) from us. It's an attempt to remake the Mission: Impossible trailer, down to camera angles and shots. (It actually helps if you watch the original trailer - it's available on the M:I website.) Ving Rhames as an Elite... perfect. (Louis Wu 14:24:24 UTC) (permalink)
SSPH Pre-Ep 0.3 now up
Silver Stars/Purple Hearts pre-Episode 0.3 is now up for download at 7Pandas.com. You can find a variety of versions on their Downloads page - and we're mirroring the hi-res WMP9 version, and offering a hi-res QuickTime as well. This particular pre-episode has no Halo content in it (it's all Sims2 this time around) - but it's pretty important to the storyline, and it's really, REALLY well-done. (For those who don't know, or don't remember, SS/PH is a Halo/Sims2 hybrid machinima, telling the story of a squad of female spartans.) There's one more of these story-building segments, and then the full episodes begin! Go watch. (Louis Wu 14:08:03 UTC) (permalink)
The WASP is out
w00t - Mothergoat has released the WASP, a very cool flying vehicle for use in HaloCE maps. (If you've never seen it, visit this forum post, and download the movie therein - you'll see it in action. For HaloCE Mapmakers, you can now include this vehicle in your own maps... for players, you just have to wait until someone DOES. (Louis Wu 13:40:01 UTC) (permalink)
Toys from the Master
Swing over to Wired.com - they've got a preview up of an article that'll come out in February's issue. It's about The Dream Factory, a Lego custom kit builder - and one of the kits on display was designed by Bungie's Rob't McLees - it's a Warthog! Now we just need the Feb issue...
