Beta Acceptances Begin to Arrive
Lots and lots and lots of people are hearing from Microsoft about the Halo 3 beta - here's one big thread on our forum about it. (We've also gotten lots of email from people who got in.) If you haven't received anything - don't fret yet, they've said word would be coming all this week. (And for folks who are angry to hear that others have gotten in... I think you might need to work on some envy issues.) For what it's worth - this is NOT the last chance you'll have for getting into the Beta... it's simply a big one.

B.net Fan Art Update
Over at Bungie.net, the new Top Story is a Fan Art update - and man, is there some amazing stuff in this one. Some of it has already been seen (here, in our own Miscellaneous Art collection), but much is new - and ALL of it is worth looking at. You can chime in to the thread KP started on our forum about it.

Tribute to Tricking, Part II
Over at High Impact Halo, Ducain pointed out a new Halo 1 tricking tribute vid, done by some of the pioneers... there's stuff in there I've seen before, and stuff I've NEVER seen. This game is more than 5 years old now - it's beautiful to see people still pulling new tricks. Available in a variety of sizes. (Louis Wu 16:09:35 UTC) (permalink)
The Riot #32
icu wrote to point out that The Riot #32 is up - Sigafoos and Brathnok are away, so Bitter Irony and i enjoy cheese do the hosting honors. Lots of community info - go listen. 26 minutes, 24 mb. (Louis Wu 15:53:49 UTC) (permalink)
The Assault
trigger119 sent word of a new machinima he's hosting over at GamingTV.org. It's called The Assault, and he found it because Laird (of SvF and Halo: Unyielding) did some 3D work for it. The voice acting could use some work... and so could the choreography. But the added touches (a communication screen, a Pelican, etc) are really nicely done. The downloadable versions at GTV are about 30 mb, depending on flavor, or you can watch it at YouTube. (Louis Wu 15:35:45 UTC) (permalink)
Making Fun Games
GamesIndustry.biz sat down with Max Hoberman, of Certain Affinity (and recently of Bungie), to discuss his new venture, and how he got to where he is. Bunch of Bungie trivia in there, and some good Halo stuff. Max has positive things to say about Halo 3's multiplayer - "It's years ahead of everything that's out there." Go read the rest of the article. I found this via Eurogamer, but it looks like GhaleonEB posted a link while I was still snug in my bed. (Louis Wu 15:17:08 UTC) (permalink)
MLG Content
3Suns noticed a couple of new features at MLGPro.com - there's a Pro Player feature on Walshy linked on the front page, and a wrap-up of the Division II Halo 2 Final for their Online tournament. Go read! (Louis Wu 15:00:33 UTC) (permalink)
Hammer of Aggravation
Mister Froggy sent word that Halo, Articulated #7 is now live - it's a Gears of War crossover joke (one I didn't get, but one that's supposedly funny if you play GoW). Check it out! (Louis Wu 14:49:12 UTC) (permalink)
GI talks to Bungie - mostly for subscribers
Game Informer talked to SketchFactor and Frankie about Halo 3 - they didn't get a lot of info, but they had fun trying. The full interview is available to those with GI Unlimited access (subscribers, in other words) - but there are a few questions in the teaser. Give it a read! (Louis Wu 14:47:45 UTC) (permalink)

We got a weekly Update from Halomega - There's a trailer for a montage, a whole lot of gameplay vids, and they're taking entries for the next Snipe of the Week. Thanks, CiphA. (Louis Wu 14:44:08 UTC) (permalink)
