The Riot #34
icu noticed that Episode 34 of The Riot was posted a couple of days ago - community news, and more. This is the first ep that's available in streaming Flash format right from the site. If you choose to download, it's 15 minutes, 6.2 mb. (Louis Wu 18:36:56 UTC) (permalink)
HP becomes PH
Looks like one of the oldest Halo websites out there, Halo Planet (née Battleground: Halo), has been reborn as Planet Halo. Details about what that means to you, the visitor, can be found in this news post. (Louis Wu 15:55:47 UTC) (permalink)
Tied The Leader Tuesday
XerxdeeJ stopped by with the Tuesday update of Tied the Leader - you'll find a clan profile of SBG Omega (you'll learn what 'SBG' stands for), a great writeup of a Turkey Shoot, and a 22 Questions (well, 10, actually) interview with Calyber, of the Frag Dolls. First Class! (Louis Wu 15:44:28 UTC) (permalink)
PezCorner Launches
Pezcore kicked off a new gaming blog - the most recent article discusses girl gamers, and what it means to 'fit in' to the gaming community. (Halo is mentioned, because the most famous girl clans play it.) He's looking for feedback - go tell him what you think! (Louis Wu 15:32:52 UTC) (permalink)
When Game Journalists Get Silly
Wow. I'm not sure what to say about this editorial at IGN - it basically says "Bungie better make sure the beta is PERFECT, or it will derail the Halo 3 Hype Machine (™®©) and kill the entire game." Yeah, whatever. Thanks, I guess, to AfroRyan, who noticed it. (Louis Wu 14:53:04 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie Pentathlon: Winter '07
Over at Bungie.net, there's a writeup of the 2007 Winter Pentathlon - a venerable Bungie tradition involving lots of hand-eye dexterity and beer. (Normally, those don't go together very well. As far as I can tell, the Pentathlon was normal.) KP's team, the Mancannons, were bumped out the Halo 3 4v4 tourney early on - KP says it's because he got lost and didn't make it to the event in time, but I have it on decent authority that Marty challenged him to a 1v1 match, and the resulting shutout by an ancient musician embarrassed him so badly he couldn't join his team for the 4v4. Regardless, the writeup is entertaining - give it a read. (And don't forget to congratulate Bungie on their 15 year anniversary!) Looks like CougRon was first on our forum with a notice.

MereCatfish let us know about LifePod #7 - this episode of the HaloCE Community podcast has a Map of the Month feature. 24 minutes, 22 mb. Go listen. (Louis Wu 13:51:59 UTC) (permalink)
Limited Training
Mister Froggy pointed out Halo, Articulated #11 - I gotta say, I've had this exact feeling when replaying old favorites! Good stuff.

Player Spotlight: Karma
Over at MLGPro.com, you'll find a Player Pro Feature on Karma linked off the front page. Flush, in shape, on top - he's living his dream. Go watch. Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 13:41:05 UTC) (permalink)
Crackdown - Lovin' the help from Halo 3
MTV.com has an interesting article about Crackdown, and the things its developers have done to make sure it gets into the hands of gamers. The Halo 3 beta invite that will come with each launch copy is not by far the only thing added to be sure that players 'get it' - I don't have a 360 yet, but after reading the article, I want to go out and try Crackdown. The Halo spin, of course, is the relation between Crackdown and the Halo 3 Beta - but what's interesting is that the developer didn't feel like the inclusion of the invite was a slight. Go read. Thanks to 3Suns for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:32:15 UTC) (permalink)
The 'Halo Killer' - finally?
Interesting - word from Luke Smith is that there will probably be a Killzone 2 playable demo released before the Halo 3 beta kicks off. Why is this Halo news? Because Sony is playing the same game Microsoft played before Christmas - hype people up about the next must-have product (in that case, Halo 3) to pull eyeballs from the competition's high roller (in that case, the Playstation 3). It'll be interesting to see how it plays out... (For those who don't remember, Killzone 2 made a splash at E3 2005, when it was touted as a Halo killer. We haven't heard a peep from the development team since.) (Louis Wu 13:20:11 UTC) (permalink)
