A bit of Friday Artwork
Two very cool pieces of artwork showed up in the last couple of days - rather than wait for the next Misc Art update, I thought I'd publicize these now. The first is a gorgeous render (1300x975, 85K) of the Master Chief, helmetless, created by benman08. The second is a pretty amazing piece of collage work (2248x1330, 260K) ; DMDyet pasted together a bunch of pieces of cardboard for a spectacular final product. (His description of the process is here.) Update: my misunderstanding - it seems this was built with paper TEXTURES, not actual paper. Still pretty cool to look at!

YouTube Confusion
A couple of days ago, we posted a Lego recreation of the original Halo 2 trailer, made by Marshall Brekka, of InfalliBull Productions. We recently got mail from Marshall - apparently, a lot of people are uploading this file to YouTube, and not crediting him. The YouTube username of the original creator is infallibull - if you see this file posted under another name, they should be giving credit where credit is due. (Louis Wu 18:08:22 UTC) (permalink)
Studio360 interviews This Spartan Life
More This Spartan Life goodness... Damian Lacedamian was interviewed for the public radio show Studio 360 - the interview airs tomorrow, and is available today for listening on the Studio360 website. A video that went along with the radio interview is available on the TSL website. (Louis Wu 17:39:37 UTC) (permalink)

Immure 2 Released
Earlier this week, we mentioned an imminent release of a Halo CE map; this morning, NeuroKoNeza stopped by our forum to point out that Immure 2 was now available for download. Check out the forum post for links, including a screenshot and a dev-cam flythrough video! (Louis Wu 17:00:03 UTC) (permalink)
Hannaford's Ark Storm
darthbob noticed a new mylar print in the Bungie Store - this one is an image created by Bungie's Isaac Hannaford, and it's called 'Ark Storm'. Gorgeous piece of work - if you've got $40 lying around, grab one of the 500 copies of this print! (Louis Wu 16:53:28 UTC) (permalink)
That Screenshot Text
I didn't think this was news, but it's spawned so many threads on our forum (and others) that if I DON'T front-page it, it's going to overrun us. In one of the screenshots released recently, there's some faded text behind the blue Spartan on the left - clearly, whoever photoshopped the text out only did half the job. The text reads 'Out of Ammo' on the first line, and 'Press [X or Y - only half of the letter shows]' on the second. RVideo makes a solid case for 'X' in this post on the Halo3Forum, actually. Folks first noticed the words when the scans from LEVEL magazine started circulating in late October - I didn't mention it then because of our policy about magazine scans. Now that high-resolution versions of these screens are posted legally, though, more and more people are noticing this, and many of you it's some sort of an egg, or something. If it really reads 'X' in the second line, it might have been removed because Bungie doesn't want us to know what the X button does in the new UI, yet - but it might have simply been removed to make the screenshot cleaner. Either way, there's not really enough info to figure out what it WOULD have said after the pressable letter... but now that it's been front-paged, I hope folks don't feel the need to start new threads in our forum, pointing it out. (There are dozens already.) And to whoever cleaned up that screenshot for release to the web in the first place... hey, next time could you do a more complete job? Thanks.

Frag Dolls on This Spartan Life
First off, apologies for scaring anyone yesterday - I'm fine. On to the news... let's start with Chromium's post about an interview with the Frag Dolls, done by This Spartan Life's Damian Lacedamian, created for Spike TV's 2006 Video Game Awards. (You'll need to click on the 'This Spartan Life' link on the left to see the vid.) As usual, the interview takes place within Halo - but this one will give you a little bit of insight about the Dolls - where they come from, how they got involved in this stuff. Go listen!
