Shadows of the Ancients Ep 1
Laird sent this along yesterday, but I forgot to post it; he found an interesting piece of Halo machinima on YouTube. It's called 'Shadows of the Ancients: Episode 1- Two Arrivals', and it was created by SpartanJedi360. Nice effects, decent storyline - give it a watch! (Louis Wu 19:21:59 UTC) (permalink)
GiA Dialogue Contest
Nathan Gibson, of Games in Action, let us know about a new contest they're running - come up with a fun NPC one-liner for Halo 3, win stuff. (This contest is just for fun; the lines will NOT actually be used in Halo 3. But you can still win stuff.) More details in the contest post. (Louis Wu 16:55:14 UTC) (permalink)
A Hunter Costume, In Progress
Monstermaker13 has been hard at work on a Hunter costume, built from wood and cardboard; so far, he's got the legs, a shield, and a Fuel Rod Cannon. The torso comes next - but in the meantime, check out the work he's done so far! (Louis Wu 15:39:19 UTC) (permalink)
TLA.
Stuntmutt is a man of few words. Sometimes not even words... just letters. LOL at today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 15:12:49 UTC) (permalink)
Help me get down!
Jamie98s let us know about his latest music video - this one's set to the Killers' "Why do I keep counting?" Great filming, as usual; awesome shots, cool effects, and (something a lot of Halo music vids seem to forget to do) action that's actually synched to both the music and the lyrics. Check it out! Available in WMP9 format (35.3 mb) or QuickTime format (33.3 mb). (Louis Wu 15:09:10 UTC) (permalink)
Chase Scene
Nabsuh is learning Lightwave; what better way to check his skillz than by rendering a Halo space scene? Check out this animation short - A Covenant Assault Carrier chases a Halcyon-class Cruiser. Vids are about 2.2 mb each. (Louis Wu 15:01:31 UTC) (permalink)
Podtacular 107
Kiaffex let us know that Podtacular 107 was released yesterday - Customs and Callins, with Paul Maestri, of Halo Heads, guest-hosting. 1:14 long, 68.4 mb. Go listen! (Louis Wu 12:58:07 UTC) (permalink)
FS2H - Details
Devrous has posted another weekly update of FS2H, his Freespace 2 Halo mod. There's a big Q&A about the project, plus a whole passel of screenshots. Take a look! (Louis Wu 12:46:26 UTC) (permalink)
Uplift Revealed
GameSpy has an interview with Jeremy Statz, of Hired Gun (the guys putting together Halo 2 Vista), looking at Uplift, one of the two new maps coming to H2V. (The other is called District.) There are 6 screenshots, as well; you can get a good sense for the strategies that will be needed on this map next month by checking this out! Thanks, Bootsman. Update: late, but better than never - Jeremy let us know that he's actually with Pi Studios, who did the editing tools and additional level content, not Hired Gun. Sorry about that!

It's gonna be like that thing. With the stuff.
Gamepro's got a short interview with Frank O'Connor - there's almost no real info there; Frankie's a master at talking without giving away ANYTHING - but I'm sure a few of his answers will be picked apart and gnawed on while we wait for more substantial fare... (Louis Wu 12:18:00 UTC) (permalink)
Sandblasted Halo Love
ManKitten posted a link (sort of) to a bunch of pictures of a really cool coffee table he modified; to make it easier for YOU to see, we put up local copies. Check it out! (Louis Wu 05:52:40 UTC) (permalink)
Why would you put guns in your boots?
Over at Bungie.net, you'll find an interesting interview with Max Hoberman, head of Certain Affinity (the company that built the two new Halo 2 maps being released later this month) - there's a lot of discussion about the maps themselves (and the changes that needed to be made to make them fun again), and there's quite a bit of info about Certain Affinity, and where it might be going. Check it out! Looks like Hellion was first on the forum. (Louis Wu 05:27:00 UTC) (permalink)
