GTV Intro Contest
We got word from trigger119 that GamingTV is holding a video intro contest - make them a cool intro, win stuff. More details are in this post at GTV! (Louis Wu 22:33:42 UTC) (permalink)
720p downloadable Vidocs
There's a news post further down the page with links to web versions of the Brute Vidoc - but I thought a separate note was warranted for 720p versions (1280x720). You can find them at both TeamXbox (WMP9, 232 mb - thanks, MasterChief2829) and GameVideos.com (WMP9, 478 mb, QuickTime, 577 mb - thanks, giga). High-res goodness... mmm!

In-Fusio and MS - mad at each other
Mercury noticed an article at the Inquirer - looks like In-Fusio is suing Microsoft over Halo; the claim is that Microsoft is thwarting In-Fusio from developing the product, but demanding payment anyway. End result for us? No Halo on your cell phone, at least for now. Bummer! (Louis Wu 21:32:11 UTC) (permalink)
This... is... MARTA!
Frankie has updated the news post from last night, which mentions the Brute Vidoc, to include a short question and answer session answering your most-asked questions. And he added in some great pics to try and distract you from the fact that he's got no more screenshots for you. Go read! (Louis Wu 21:17:34 UTC) (permalink)
Basket Case.
Stuntmutt looks at a new form of Covenant attack in today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 17:20:06 UTC) (permalink)
Love/Hate Relationship
Paul Maestri hasn't had a chance to see the Brutes ViDoc yet - I think it might be getting to him. Check today's Halo Heads. (Louis Wu 17:03:49 UTC) (permalink)
Brute Vid online, lots of places
For folks who don't have a 360, or Xbox Live... the Halo 3 ViDoc 'Et Tu, Brute?' is available at millions of places across the web. (Well, okay, not millions. But a lot.) There are 640x360 versions at GameVideos.com (thanks, z77) and Xboxyde (thanks, Urk), and Wraith-ops.com (thanks, Wraith7n). There's a 428x240 version at JeuxFrance (thanks, Xavier De Coster). There are lots and lots of YouTube links (here's one, here's another, there are plenty more). I'm sure there are others - but this is a reasonable collection of links. YouNewb has 89 screenshots. (There are a bunch at that Xboxyde link above, too.) If/when higher-res versions become available on the web, we'll be sure to let you know. (Louis Wu 16:25:22 UTC) (permalink)
Art inspired by the Halo 3 Ad for sale
Pavel Dolgov (we've mentioned him before) has created an 8x10 painting inspired by the Halo 3 ad - you can view it on eBay. The auction ends on December 29. If you like his work, remember that he takes commissions. (Louis Wu 15:34:19 UTC) (permalink)
Libertyville Halo - studio video
We've mentioned the Libertyville Halo performance a few times now (it first came up in September, and we posted a higher-quality recording a couple of weeks ago) - now there's a video to go with the studio audio. Eastbeast314 found a version on YouTube, and DarkHelmet found it on Break.com. Go watch! (Louis Wu 15:30:50 UTC) (permalink)
MLG Pro Circuit, Online Tourney
Over at MLGPro.com, you can watch Week 6 of the MLG Pro Circuit if you missed it on USA last weekend, and there's an update for the MLG Online tourney. Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 15:27:00 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Outkastz Trailer
Deekor sent word of a teaser for the upcoming Halo Outkatz series (stop by their website for more info). Mythica's got a QuickTime link, and there's a YouTube version. It's very short - but it made me laugh. Give it a look! (Louis Wu 15:21:30 UTC) (permalink)
Jungle Trigonometry: Food
The big news today is going to be the Brutes documentary released on Xbox Live Marketplace earlier this morning, and we'll certainly get to that - but there's a bunch of other Halo goodness that yearns to be free, as well. First up - trigger119 is hosting, over at GamingTV.org, a new vid from SodaGod, called 'Jungle Trigonometry: Food'. It's bright, it's funny, it's well filmed. Have I said SodaGod is one of my favorite machinimators? He is. Grab this - it's worth the download. (We've got mirrors, but as of now they don't seem to be needed.)
