Input needed
We've had a number of people complain about the use of third-party artwork (artwork created by other fans, NOT the submitter) in some of the entries to the Killer Grunts contest. The most heated thread (but not, by far, the only one) on this subject is here. I'm tired of the argument, and tired of being reprimanded, so I'm going to let the public decide. If you think that it's wrong that some of the entries used artwork created by other fans without attribution (well, some of it HAD attribution, in the readmes submitted to us, but since we never made those public, there's no attribution), speak up in that thread; if enough of you are unhappy with the situation, I'll cancel the contest. I thought it was a good idea - but now I'm not so sure. (Louis Wu 22:17:24 UTC) (permalink)
Is that Kate Jackson under that helmet?
Heh - Samantha sent us this picture a little while ago - maybe this should be the default vehicle of IBO? (Louis Wu 20:32:51 UTC) (permalink)

Helljumper in Trouble
Yet another spectacular pic from Bryn Casey - check out Lost ODST! That guy needs a story... (Louis Wu 18:12:09 UTC) (permalink)
Driving Keyes
Wow. This guy doesn't stop. Last week, we mentioned that scurty had finished the level Keyes in under 3 minutes on Easy, and under 4 on Legendary; he's pared that Legendary time down to 3:09... with no shots fired. Video quality isn't so good (looks like he's been using the same VHS tape for the last 300 runs or so - heh), but the shortcuts are incredible. Check 'em out! (We've put up mirrors - WMP9 | QT - to save on mythica's UserUploads bandwidth.) And thanks to insidi0us for keeping track. (Louis Wu 17:28:09 UTC) (permalink)
The Amoury - for sale
Heh, cool. Out of Reach Constructions (we've mentioned them a couple of times, they make pretty spiffy display cases for Halo action figures) is selling The Armoury, display setup for the extra weapons you get with your action figures, on eBay. What a gift this would make for the Halo fanatic in your life! Thanks, Flamechu. (Louis Wu 17:24:52 UTC) (permalink)
And That Is How You Hit Like A Girl.
Speaking of comics, today's One One Se7en looks at love from a different angle. Mostly up, from the ground, I guess. (Louis Wu 16:29:24 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Love
Over at HaloPlanet, there's a new action-figure-based comic called Halo Love. Gloves says he might make more... but it seems like the relationship might be off to a rocky start. (Louis Wu 16:27:26 UTC) (permalink)
Contest Reminder
For those of you who haven't voted yet - you should really swing by the Killer Grunts voting section and pick your favorites. I'll likely close the polls a bit after midnight UTC tomorrow - make your opinion count! (Louis Wu 16:24:09 UTC) (permalink)
Local Hunters
On Friday, a pair of new Craig Mullins images were discovered on goodbrush.com. Some people had trouble following the links (apparently, his server rejects some connections based on parameters I don't understand) - but never fear, Craig has given us permission to host local copies of these images. Check out the Dark Hunter... and the Light. And marvel at this guy's ability to produce such feeling with so few brushstrokes. (Louis Wu 02:39:28 UTC) (permalink)
It was a dark and stormy night...
Cool beans. Dojorkan modded Outskirts to get a feel for how New Mombassa might look at dusk, with fog rolling in... the potential for machinima is staggering. Check out the pics, read the thread. Toss in your own two cents. (Louis Wu 02:36:08 UTC) (permalink)
Hall of Murals - now in 3D
You might remember the Hall of Murals, shown only in a cutscene that never got finished (but could be seen on the Limited Edition DVD) - Se7en One extracted them and cleaned them up, and Walshicus colored them. Now Se7en One is back - this time, he's made 3D versions, and filmed them to give you a look! The first tablet is complete - he says more are coming. Go check out the video!
