Hired Gun chats about LIVE
Brand-new Hired Gun blog post over at IGN - interesting discussion about bringing Halo 2 to Windows Live. Give it a read! Thanks, PsychoRaven. (Louis Wu 23:51:50 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie.net - now with more accessibility
Bungie.net has fixed the Windows Live ID login problem - read about it here (and yes, you probably can - w00t!). Thanks, JeBr0nie. (Louis Wu 23:47:44 UTC) (permalink)
Spartan Dew? That sounds... rank.
Wow. The marketing blitz has begun. Kotaku has a story about Master Chief-branded Mountain Dew. (They're calling it 'Halo 3 Game Fuel'. I suppose that's better than 'Cyborg Sweat', which is the vibe I get from 'Spartan Dew'...) Thanks, Neo-genesis. (Louis Wu 23:45:22 UTC) (permalink)
MLGPro - talking Str8
New content up over at MLGPro.com - player commentary from Tsquared, and an interview with Str8 Rippin (and their new hot Tsquared/Foulacy/Legit/Naded lineup). Thanks, Tyger. (Louis Wu 23:42:37 UTC) (permalink)
Minimarshmallow
Jason Borne has created a couple of fantastic pieces of Halo artwork - you can see them in our Miscellaneous Art section. Yesterday, he sent along a piece (513x792, 92kb) he did for his brother-in-law's birthday - the title comes from his gamertag. Great stuff! (This will be in the next Misc Art update, whenever that happens - but I loved it and wanted to get it out now.) (Louis Wu 20:23:51 UTC) (permalink)
I bet people ask what it is.
LazarusCayde stopped by to show off a new Master Chief tattoo - check it out! (Louis Wu 17:13:46 UTC) (permalink)
Ur In For An Update.
In preparation for tonight's Weekly Update, Stuntmutt takes a shot at Frankie in today's One One Se7en. (Or maybe it's just at one of the environment artists... I can't tell.) Whatta title! (Louis Wu 13:20:20 UTC) (permalink)
Queen of Paper
Nomi has continued her Paper Spartan-making madness (This... is... PAPER!) - she's got new Spartans for mejp44, Blackstar, and TheDonWan... along with a paper Jackal, a dual-wielding Elite, and some cool mini-weapons. Check 'em all out! Update: She's done a Heretic Banshee, too! (Louis Wu 12:54:39 UTC) (permalink)
Rendezvous
Edgeworks Entertainment has released Episode 4 of The Heretic - we're back to the Spartan side of the story, and things are heating up. An orbital MAC platform is invaded, and the Spartans are needed to save the day. Available, as usual, in hi-res QuickTime and WMP9 from their site, this one will remind you why Edgeworks is one of the most respected names in Halo machinima. Fantastic angles, ingenious use of props and locations... this one's a must-see. Thanks, Funkmon. (Louis Wu 12:49:10 UTC) (permalink)
Ramping up to one every two seconds
Over at Bungie.net, there's a new Top Story - a look at the making of the Halo 3 Legendary Edition packaging. I know what you're thinking - 'wtf, a story about PACKAGING?' Go read it - it's pretty interesting. According to Jeff Sanborn, one of the Microsoft guys responsible for the production, they'll be making more than 450,000 helmets before Halo 3 rolls out. That's MUCH more 'limited' than the Halo 2 Limited Edition (which shipped 2.5 million copies, and sold the vast majority of them) - if you want one of these bad boys, you better pre-order it. Go check out the rest of the details at B.net! Thanks to Tyger, who was first getting us this news yesterday. (Louis Wu 12:22:04 UTC) (permalink)
A cheap way to get Halo 3 in Canada
Not bad - if you live in Canada, you might wanna check this out - trade in 4 games, get Halo 3 for free when it's released! (And for an extra $10, you get the Limited Edition.) Remember that in Canada, the ERP of the Standard and Limited Editions are $70 and $80, respectively - given the normal trade-in value for pre-owned games, this is an awesome deal. Check the Arbiter's Judgement blog for all the details - thanks, Juxtapose. (Louis Wu 12:08:05 UTC) (permalink)
SiR Tyner's First Montage
Z pointed out a new montage from SiR Tyner over at Halo3Forum.com - lots of great gameplay, but I gotta say, I hated the logo stamped over the top left corner, it really distracted me. If you can be more flexible than me, it's a fun watch - 7:47 long, 107 mb, WMP9 format. (Louis Wu 11:58:53 UTC) (permalink)
Friday's Fanfic
Seven new pieces are up for you in the Fan Fiction section for you this week... go read! (Louis Wu 11:40:31 UTC) (permalink)
Triforce - Trailer
Yesterday, Dojorkan mentioned 'Triforce', a new video series coming from the Promethian Guard. They might have been a little loose with their attributions, but their enthusiasm can't be denied. Go grab the trailer - it weighs in at about 20 mb. (Louis Wu 11:07:01 UTC) (permalink)
