Behind IWMC - Tuts and Bloops
Remember that movie last week - I Want Master Chief? It got a little bit of press. (And scored the ladies an interview on Bungie.net.) A bunch of people were curious about the Cortana scene in the video - so Elnea put together a short video explaining how she created that. (WMP9 is 15.2 mb, QuickTime is 18.7 mb, plus a YouTube version is up as well) In addition, OboeCrazy released a short blooper reel; we're hosting WMP9 and QuickTime versions (9.3 and 10.1 mb, respectively), OboeCrazy's hosting an AVI version (16.8 mb), and there'll be a version on her YouTube page soon. Fun stuff to watch on a Saturday afternoon! (Louis Wu 21:25:03 UTC) (permalink)
When the World Ends
Mothergoat stopped by to release a new Halo-inspired tune - 'When the World Ends'. Go listen. (2:29, 3.4 mb) That man is pretty amazing. (Louis Wu 20:52:47 UTC) (permalink)

When your dad knows comic artists...
Leinil Yu is a comic book artist who's done quite a bit of work for Marvel comics. Last year, for the San Diego Comic Convention, he created a pretty cool Halo-related image, which he uploaded to his DeviantART space. A couple of days ago, Cody Paulson dropped in to our forum to mention that he'd been given a copy of the image, by the artist, for his birthday. (He's a family friend.) Not too shabby!

Spartan Laser Update
CitizenErased27 is still working on the details of his Spartan Laser replica - today's pictures don't show much improvement, but they DO show a rather disturbing proclivity... (Louis Wu 18:55:32 UTC) (permalink)
Debatable lists
prometheus found a list of the Top 25 Video Game Heroes of all time - Master Chief came in at 25. Some forum regulars are pretty suprised by the list. (Two links in the first post, in case one doesn't work.) (Louis Wu 18:51:26 UTC) (permalink)
RvB Ep 98 Director's Commentary
Speaking of Red vs Blue - if you're a Sponsor, you should visit the Sponsors forum there; Director's Commentary for Episode 98 (last week's episode) has been posted. There's no explanation of some of the plot intricacies... but there's some nice discussion of the shots, and how they were done. Check it out! (Louis Wu 18:38:37 UTC) (permalink)
