Boredom Begets... well, Stuff.
Heh - Psychophan7 created a nearly 3 mb animated gif by tweaking a small subset of the Halo 3 trailer footage - pointless, but fun. Warning - open this in a relatively robust browser; some can't handle 3 mb gifs. (Firefox works nicely.) (Louis Wu 23:13:40 UTC) (permalink)
Oy.
Heh - Bryce Sigourney found a pretty unusual instance of Halo-branded clothing... a Halo Suede Kippah (maybe more commonly known as a yarmulke, a thin skullcap worn by observant Jews). It's unclear how much this costs - but the non-logo versions run about $4.00, so if you're interested, you can email them for details. Love the store name, too! (Louis Wu 23:01:35 UTC) (permalink)
Ms Brute, Indeed.
Bluestone created 'Mr Chief Goes To Washington'... Flash 8, 7 mb, great music. (Louis Wu 22:25:36 UTC) (permalink)
Halo stuff for sale
Havoc737903 is selling off a bunch of Halo goodies on eBay - you can peruse them here. He called it 'Havoc's Crazy Bargain Basement' - but with a 'Buy it Now' price of $30 on an opened action figure... I'm not sure I'd agree with the 'bargain' part. Whatever, though - check it out, you might find stuff you like. (Louis Wu 22:19:54 UTC) (permalink)
XGR 3
Sunday must be podcast update day - Xbox Gaming Radio has released Episode 3, including a summary of updates on Halo sites across the web, and some Halo multiplayer tricks. (They'd also like you to check out their newly-overhauled website.) (Louis Wu 22:15:49 UTC) (permalink)
GTR at MLG Orlando
Gamertag Radio created Episode 68 at MLG Orlando - lots of big Halo names came by to say hi (a list is in the news post there). Go listen! (Louis Wu 22:11:29 UTC) (permalink)
New Art from Mike Hill
Mike Hill wrote with word of a new project - he's working on a Halo comic. He sent along one of 35 or 40 frames he plans on using - this will be 'a little adventure the Chief and a squad of Pelican-bound ODSTs will embark on'. Amazing detail - check it out on his gallery! He also mentioned that he's revamped his website (check out this work-in-progress bike... I want!), and that there's a pretty cool article that was recently published in Imagine Magazine that included some great text and (Halo) pics from him. And while I was poking around the site, I found two other Halo-related images (which have been added to his gallery here) - a spectacular Forerunner-dominated landscape, and a 3D Warthog render - or the beginnings of one. Keep an eye on this guy! (Louis Wu 03:26:19 UTC) (permalink)
QsK:THE COLLAB
QsKGlobal put together a collaboration montage - footage from four different players. It's 10 minutes long, and weighs in at 116 mb (WMP9 version) or 128 mb (QuickTime version) - the MPRRS said they liked it, so go watch! (Louis Wu 03:22:48 UTC) (permalink)
Digital Double - A Match Made in Space
Mintz found a Halo-related episode of the webcomic Digital Double from earlier this week - not the first time this particular joke has been done, but hey... (The episode after this one is part of the same arc.) (Louis Wu 01:22:27 UTC) (permalink)
Trinity
ZuP posted a note on our forum about Trinity, a massive (46 minutes, 380 mb in hi-res) tricking video, mostly showing vehicle launches in Halo 2 Campaign mode. There are a significant number of hosts, at this point, apparently... if you swing by this post by forevercha0s, you'll find a pair of load-balancing links - medium and hi-res - that will direct you to the next host in the queue (thanks, TheGarbageMan). Low-res links can be found in that first post by ZuP. A labor of love, for sure! (Louis Wu 01:17:55 UTC) (permalink)
