Need a 360? Are you rich?
KP noticed an article at Kotaku which discusses a gorgeous paint job on an Xbox 360 - it's for sale on eBay (already painted on a 360). It ain't cheap - Buy it Now price is $925, plus almost $30 in shipping - but wow, it's pretty. (Louis Wu 23:13:44 UTC) (permalink)
The Riot 41
JRod4549 was the first to let us know that Episode 41 of the Riot is now up - 31 minutes, 12.5 mb. Community news, personal opinions, info about a LAN. Go listen! (Louis Wu 23:07:29 UTC) (permalink)
New Mullins
Craig Mullins dropped off a new image today - not really NEW, I guess, but the inclusion of a piece of it in the new Bungie.net design has generated quite a bit of new interest in it. (It was originally published in the Halo Graphic Novel, last year.) It's an awe-inspiring image of carnage on a beach - check it out! (Louis Wu 20:12:05 UTC) (permalink)
Fantasy Halo, Part One
RVideo found a fantastic video posted on the HaloGrid forums (yep, they're back) - it was done by the the guys over at Chaos Films, and it emulates a standard turn-based RPG using the Halo engine. These guys did an amazing job compressing the vid - the original is in WMP9 format, but I couldn't get the same quality/filesize ratio in QuickTime, so if you can watch WMP9, that's the version you should see. (We're mirroring the WMP9 version - 28.4 mb, as well as hosting our own QuickTime version - 29.8 mb.) This movie is hilarious - really well done. If you've ever played RPGs, you'll immediately connect. If you haven't, it's STILL pretty darned funny - just be glad XBL isn't like this! Can't wait for parts 2 and 3 (I'm hoping we can get higher-quality versions of all of them, from here on in). Check it out! (Louis Wu 20:01:01 UTC) (permalink)
H2 into SL
This is... weird. (Louis Wu 19:53:09 UTC) (permalink)
Hunter Buddies
Nomi found some really cool paper recently, and to celebrate, she decided to make a Hunter (it doesn't use any of this new, rare paper). Right after she finished it, ManKitten showed her a new piece of artwork he'd created (it'll be in the next Misc Art update), so she decided she needed to make another Hunter, based on this artwork. They're Hunter Buddies! (If you haven't looked through Nomi's Paper Spartans page recently - do it. She's done some amazing work.) (Louis Wu 18:27:49 UTC) (permalink)
Early Mourn
Veegie and HawaiianPig have teamed up again - their latest piece of artwork is a scene that could be out of the level Halo. A poignant look at the human side of the Master Chief. It was announced by HP in a forum post, and you can also find it on Veegie's gallery page here. Great work! (Louis Wu 17:43:20 UTC) (permalink)
UNSC Rapier class fighter
Laird stopped by with some shots of a custom fighter for his upcoming Halo Unyielding Part 2 - a single seater that can operate in space or in an atmosphere. Check it out! (Louis Wu 17:15:24 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Snake v2
Spartan Erik pointed out a Flash game at Newgrounds - Halo Snake v2. Nice update on a 30 year old game! (Louis Wu 17:01:57 UTC) (permalink)
Hydrolysis
DocOctavius announced a new map he's finished for Halo CE - Hydrolysis. Water-based (as you might guess from the name) - looks pretty! Check it out. (Louis Wu 16:10:09 UTC) (permalink)
Episode 106: Halo 3 Show
Kiaffex stopped by to point out that Podtacular 106 has been released; they focus on Halo 3 this time around. 1:19 long, 74 mb. Go listen! (Louis Wu 15:27:42 UTC) (permalink)
