Video Game Concert this Saturday in CA
j41m3z noticed that the Golden States Pops Orchestra is going to be playing a Video Game Soundtracks show on February 3 (that's this coming Saturday) at the Warner Grand Theatre in San Pedro, CA. Tickets are $20 for general admission ($10 for students). Halo is on the menu! Update: Nice discount in this post! (Louis Wu 23:28:50 UTC) (permalink)
New Shirts at the Bungie Store
Jonathan Rivas noticed three new shirts at the Bungie store - a long-sleeve I heart Cortana Tee, a short-sleeved I heart Master Chief Ringer Tee, and a Twofer long-sleeved Mongoose Tee. Get to buying! (Louis Wu 23:23:30 UTC) (permalink)
UFO?
Heh - Z, from Halo3Forum.com, pointed out a strange little vid on his forum - what's that flying thing on Sanctuary? Lots of discussion - toss in your own two cents! (Louis Wu 21:39:53 UTC) (permalink)
Gaucheness in Online Gaming
Another article about women playing Halo - and being abused for it. (Not for playing - but for being women and playing.) This is going to get better someday, right? (Louis Wu 19:46:39 UTC) (permalink)
THREEDOM!
Paul Maestri writes to point out Halo Heads 44 - to what lengths will you go to ensure a spot in the Halo 3 beta? (Louis Wu 18:47:41 UTC) (permalink)
Podtacular Halo 3 Beta Special
ImmortalThree wrote to point out Podtacular Episode 98 - with special guest Luke Smith from 1Up.com. All the Halo 3 beta info Luke can give out! Go listen; 1:15 long, 63 mb. (He also pointed out Episode 97 - but since that one focuses on Viva Piñata and not Halo, we'll pass on it.) (Louis Wu 18:46:13 UTC) (permalink)
Frenetic Alphabet.
Some of the recent articles out of Bungie have used terminology that might be hard for non-military personnel to follow. That's Stuntmutt's take, anyway, in today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 16:34:39 UTC) (permalink)
Rule of 3 Reminder
Bungie posted a new Top Story last night (thanks, S043), reminding everyone that the 'Rule of 3' Program starts tomorrow. This is your next opportunity to get into the Halo 3 beta. But if you don't make it... these words of hope were included:
And remember, after all the dust has settled, Bungie will have a few extra beta spots for a few lucky and loyal community members. So one way or another, you should be able to find a way to participate in the Halo 3 Beta, fingers crossed and good luck!
Don't panic. Do your best, have fun. And don't forget to eat your vegetables. (Louis Wu 13:39:57 UTC) (permalink)
Lost the Lead - Not Dead Yet
Pinkuh stopped by to let us know there's a new episode of 'Lost the Lead' - apparently, the joke makes more sense if you understand the current influx of Naga artwork at DeviantART, but it doesn't take a lot to appreciate the artwork! (Louis Wu 13:36:15 UTC) (permalink)
Longsword X-Plane Model
Mid7night has been working on a Longsword model for X-Plane - he's got some pics, and a flash vid showing the retract sequence for the landing gear. (We've grabbed copies of the images themselves, if he runs out of bandwidth, but the video we don't have - here's hoping tinypic holds up.) (Louis Wu 13:32:51 UTC) (permalink)
MontagePalooza
Halomega has a ton of new vids - Dymdez' 3rd Montage Trailer, plus Fyler's 5th, a Team Midway gamplay, BROHAN's 7th 1v1 preview, and Frozen's 5th 1v1. Should keep you busy for a while... (Louis Wu 12:42:28 UTC) (permalink)
Grunts on Jet-Skis
Rockslider has posted a new Spotlight with Suzie - this time, Suzie interviews a grunt about a possible water level in Halo 3. This all came out of Ducain's recent Halo 3 wishlist... poor guy! (Louis Wu 12:34:54 UTC) (permalink)
Spartan Project Oblivion mod released
Brandon stopped by to announce that his Oblivion mod is finished - you can now play through in Mjolnir Mark V armor, with energy sword and shield! screenshots and a link to the download are in his forum post. (Louis Wu 12:31:04 UTC) (permalink)
