Eric Nylund, On the Spot
Eric Nylund will be a guest on tonight's 'On the Spot', a 'live interactive weekly show featuring the latest in gaming' put on by Gamespot. Episode airs less than an hour from when this is being posted - go listen to him discuss Ghosts of Onyx! Thanks, LaSelva Factor. (Louis Wu 22:05:46 UTC) (permalink)
Best of VoD, Part 1
Andz pointed out an article he's written for Amped eSports - it can help you pick some of the best pro content to watch, now that MLG has made their VoD service free. (Louis Wu 22:00:47 UTC) (permalink)
Tray and Play
PsychoRaven noticed a new Hired Gun blog - it's a look at the 'Tray and Play' feature of Halo 2 Vista; the ability to play during install. HBO's take? It's an interesting feature - and really cool for getting you RIGHT INTO THE GAME as soon as you take the disc out of the box - but after that first day, it's sort of irrelevant, right? Since there's no real downside, though, it's definitely a nice little feature. (Moreso for the developers, as shown by the initial story; for most of us, once the game is installed, we're done installing it.) Go read! (Louis Wu 20:50:41 UTC) (permalink)
GoO - now smaller on your shelf
If you've held off buying Ghosts of Onyx because of the form factor (and the $12.95 cover price), TOR has just released the (standard-sized) mass-market paperback. Price differential, at least at Amazon, is miniscule at this point (the original trade paperback is $9.71, while the new mass-market version is $7.99) - but it'll fit better on your paperback shelf. Thanks, Regicid3 (who found this at TeamXbox).

Marty looks back at the H3 trailer recording
Music4Games has a really interesting interview with Marty O'Donnell - it's a postmortem of the Halo 3 announcement trailer music recording session. Lots of pictures, lots of great tidbits. Go read! (Louis Wu 15:25:27 UTC) (permalink)
An X-Plane Pelican
Mid7night continues his Halo-to-X-Plane portage (we've already commented on his Longsword (1|2), the Pillar of Autumn, a Covenant Assault Carrier (1|2), and a Phantom) - his newest craft is a Pelican. Check it out! (Videos, too.) (Louis Wu 10:30:17 UTC) (permalink)
What Halo has Brought Together...
Oh, my goodness. ODSTAdrianFii stopped by our forum last night to announce that 1) she and LazarusCayde have gotten engaged, 2) the engagement is due in large part to their mutual love of Halo (she said we helped! I'm tearing up!), and 3) they're going to try and make it a Halo wedding. I demand pictures! (Congratulations to the both of you!) (Louis Wu 10:07:52 UTC) (permalink)
James Falcon Continues Armor Work
James Falcon sent us a few pictures of the armor he's building - we've added it to his rifle page. First up - boots and gloves! Next in line - shin guards. Stay tuned! (Louis Wu 09:58:38 UTC) (permalink)
H3DA - Online and Functional
Lyca let us know that the Halo 3 Data Archive has finished a pretty monumental task; they've categorized and documented all released info about Halo 3 to date. Every tidbit is attributed to its source - if you ever need to figure out whether what your buddy is telling you is actually released info, or just rumor... this is a great place to look. (Needs a search function! Heh.) Check it out - but be warned, you can lose a lot of time here... (Louis Wu 09:45:53 UTC) (permalink)
Legolas releases enormous montage
MLGPro.com has a story about a ridiculously long (and large) montage from one of its pro gamers - Legolas has released 'My Side of the Story', a 24 minutes, 373 mb vid. It's not ALL gameplay - there are movie clips, commentary screens, and other tidbits interspersed - but it does seem a bit... excessive. If you've got the time, there are a few download links in the forum post MLG directs you to (you have to be a member there to read it). Tyger and 3Suns both let us know about this. Update: Apparently, the use of the word 'pro' with respect to Legolas (who is a very active MLG forum member, and a participant on the Pro Circuit, but not a 'pro', since he doesn't have a contract with MLG) has bothered some people. My sincere apologies - and if you have any other concerns, please see KP. (Louis Wu 09:28:50 UTC) (permalink)
