Over The Top
2P START! had a comic this week that looked back at the music of Halo; I think their predictions might be a bit off. Thanks, Walshicus. (Louis Wu 22:29:47 UTC) (permalink)
He takes care of his kids
Red vs Blue Episode 98, Same old, same old, went up for sponsors this morning. (It'll be up for the general public sometime Monday, probably.) The storyline gets even more complicated (on its way to a conclusion in the next two episodes) - and there were several laugh-out-loud moments. Great stuff. Thanks, hezekiah.

Seul
Urban Reflex has written up his game of the week for his Halo 3 Beta blog, Ordained Insight. An interesting blow-by-blow... comments can go on the blog, or in his forum thread. (Louis Wu 22:11:18 UTC) (permalink)
Absurd bickering and hyper-verbal co-workers
Great article at Austin360.com, focusing on the 100-episode run of Red vs Blue, coming to an end in the next few weeks. It includes a look back on the influence RvB has had on the machinima genre, as well as some of the best moments in the series. Give it a read! Thanks, aaronspuler.

Halo 3 Beta - beaten by GoW and Crackdown
Interesting. According to Major Nelson, the Halo 3 Beta was the 3rd most-played title on Xbox Live last week - behind Gears of War and Crackdown. (Heh - I guess all those people playing Crackdown while waiting for access to the beta added up... thanks, BrentGamer. (Louis Wu 21:09:24 UTC) (permalink)

A no-win situation
Gamespot was pretty unhappy with Halo 2 Vista - too little, too late is overall feeling. Thanks, boesman. (Louis Wu 14:06:53 UTC) (permalink)
Jackson counting on Halo 3 to renew movie interest
Interesting - Peter Jackson did an interview for OnFilm Magazine in which he discussed, among other things, the Halo movie.
Jackson said he expected renewed interest from Hollywood studios 20th Century Fox and Universal Pictures to have Halo made as the Halo 3 video game will be released later this year.
He and partner Fran Walsh would be involved again in Halo only if Blomkamp is the director. "We wouldn't want to do it with anybody else. It'll be Neill's call."
Thanks to Mariachi, who found it at Dark Horizons. (Louis Wu 14:03:59 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Pre-Sell Kit
Devin Olsen was in Wal-Mart, and noticed a new 'Halo 3 Pre-Sell Kit' - a poster and a reservation for the game. Costs $10, but that goes towards the price of the game, so the poster's free. If you haven't already preordered, and you want to - this might be a nice deal! (Caveat - he lives in Canada. No guarantee these will be in the US.) Update: aaron points out that you can get a similar deal at Circuit City. (Louis Wu 13:57:36 UTC) (permalink)

Halo: Blood Covenant: They're Not Dead Yet!
Xieros let us know that the Halo: Blood Covenant team has set up a new website and added a new screenshot. The site redirects to another domain for me - one that doesn't resolve - but Marcus-626 pointes out that Halowiki has updated info about the revival of this game. (Search our news for older information.) (Louis Wu 13:46:30 UTC) (permalink)

A Real Visionary

Zune Giveaway Quick Update
Wow. The Zune giveaway was announced just 3 hours ago, and already we have 31 people registered to be able to submit, and two actual submissions. Just wanted to remind everyone, the submission deadline is June 10 - over two weeks from today. There's absolutely no advantage to rushing your entry in now; doing so locks you out of making changes, of choosing a different subject, of basically putting any thought at all into the idea. Just a suggestion... sleep on it. (Louis Wu 02:12:48 UTC) (permalink)
Heat Maps are cool.
The Bungie Weekly Update is (predictably, in the middle of the Halo 3 Beta test) all about the Halo 3 Beta test. Good stuff. Go read! (It's here, too, of course, in the Weekly Update Archive.) Looks like LoneRanger 2.5 got to it, finally. (He got it wrong the first time.) (Louis Wu 00:18:11 UTC) (permalink)
