Heh - Caboose in Halo 3?
According to Kotaku, the winner of the Child's Play auction for the chance to have a line in Halo 3 was someone from the Red vs Blue crew - nice! Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 14:55:52 UTC) (permalink)
Beginnings of a Spartan III Costume
John Cannon posted a link to some pictures showing off the beginnings of his Spartan III costume helmet. Just a few pics so far - but if he continues updating, we'll let you know. (Louis Wu 14:52:20 UTC) (permalink)
More Halo Panoramas
RVideo whipped up some new Panoramas - you can find the two we mentioned yesterday, as well as 3 new ones, here in this post. The first Cortana one is wonderful! (Louis Wu 14:46:12 UTC) (permalink)
Interview with Bungie at CVG
ComputerAndVideoGames was one of the press groups that showed up at Bungie's offices a couple of months ago to play some Alpha Halo. Their interview with Bungie employees that day went live this morning. A lot of the info has already found its way to the public via one of the other press groups there that day, but it's still got some nice nuggets - for example, I don't remember reading about the Veto system before this. Go read! (I heard this via Google News Alerts, but Justinian managed to post it to our forum before I got a chance to write the news note.) Update: According to XBWFeenix, this interview first appeared in the Official Xbox 360 Magazine (UK). (Louis Wu 14:31:34 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 300 - a different take
When the first trailer for Frank Miller's upcoming '300' movie was released, there were a couple of different Halo tributes - both tried to stay true to the action in the official trailer. A second trailer has been released - and AgentMonkey117 posted a YouTube link last night to his Halo version - this one uses Halo footage, but rather than matching the visual action of the cinematic trailer, he finds footage that allows him to stay true to the audio - but which is uniquely Halo. I liked it - great choices! (Louis Wu 14:17:34 UTC) (permalink)
RvB Info Flood
Swinging by the Red vs Blue site last night, I noticed a link to Forbes Magazine, where they were recently written up - and where they created a new vid about making money. Sarge scares me. Then, a bit later, back on their own site, they posted a new PSA for sponsors - it's called 'Let's All Go to the Movies', and it gives you lots of suggestions on how not to suck so much in movie theaters. The news article about it also contains screenshots of the new RvB theme available on Xbox Live Marketplace (I gotta say, it doesn't look like any theme I've seen so far - and that's generally a good thing). Whew! That's a lot of news for a site that sometimes goes weeks between releases! (Louis Wu 13:57:19 UTC) (permalink)
3 new This Spartan Life eps at SpikeTV
First off - I noticed a frew folks saw the headline of last night's Weekly Update post ('Pistol De-Nerfed') and wondered if I were being sarcastic, or if there really was going to be something done with the pistol to return it to Halo 1 status - for the record, it was a joke. Sorry. Okay, on to Halo news. The rest of the episodes that This Spartan Life did for Spike TV are now online - we mentioned the Frag Dolls piece back in November, and the Augustana piece earlier this week - if you swing by now, you'll find three new episodes. Damian talked to Tristan Pope and Terran Gregory, of Blizzard, about World of Warcraft (and Machinima), as well as Geoff Keighley, of Spike TV's Game Head, and Julian Gerighty, producer of Splinter Cell. Again, there's no way to get to the videos directly via Spike's Flash interface, so follow the URL to the VGA 2006 page, and then click on the 'This Spartan Life' link in the left navbar to get an interface to all 5 'webisodes'. Thanks to Nicholas Brown for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:45:13 UTC) (permalink)
