NO GOOD TV?
Apparently, NO GOOD TV, "the
world's largest producer of uncensored celebrity news and entertainment
programming" is going to host an event in which celebrities play Halo 3 before release - with the matches televised by NGTV. Um... okay. More in the press release. Thanks, Anton P. Nym. (Louis Wu 21:49:49 UTC) (permalink)
I wanna see Cortana's rookie card
Cybrfrk dug around and found yet ANOTHER Halo-branded item - Halo Trading Cards. According to the TFAW page they're on, they're due out at the end of August - looks like Topps wants in on the Halo cash cow. (Louis Wu 21:28:25 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: Uprising Cover Surfaces
PsychoRaven found a page at the online store for Things From Another World for Uprising #2 (the second of four Marvel Halo comics coming this summer). It shows the cover of this issue - something that Marvel's page for the same issue does not. Pretty nice! (Louis Wu 20:19:21 UTC) (permalink)
Vote for your favorite outfit
Kotaku's Halo 3 Beta t-shirt contest is nearing its end; they're down to the final 7 contestants, and looking for help from you, the public, to help with the voting. Thanks, madcowjim. (Louis Wu 17:47:44 UTC) (permalink)
Putting His Back Into It.
Last week, Bungie posted an article about the audio for Halo 3 (see here) - it started off with a description of Jay Weinland's hunt for specific sounds. Stuntmutt has an idea about where some of those sounds might be coming from... check today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 16:28:46 UTC) (permalink)
Newbalicious
Narcogen used the discussion between two journalists last week (parts 1|2|3) as a jumping-off spot to explore the ease with which beginners can get into Halo multiplay. Interesting read! (Louis Wu 16:22:06 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Cardboard Cutout for Sale
Toby Allen wrote to point out an auction on eBay.uk - It's a Halo 2 cardboard cutout, the kind you'd find in a game store. Looks to be in pretty good shape. Starting bid is £19.99, almost 10 days left on the auction. Check it out! (Louis Wu 16:17:23 UTC) (permalink)
Charlotte Stats - Complete
Z pointed out that over at Stats Reloaded, they've compiled full stats for the MLG Charlotte tournament - it's pretty interesting to compare teams this way! (As far as I know, this sort of statistical analysis isn't available anywhere else - including MLG's own site.) (Louis Wu 16:13:14 UTC) (permalink)
Fighting the Hype
The Seattle Times has an article asking what all the hoopla is about - go see if you agree! (Louis Wu 15:54:34 UTC) (permalink)
Halo - The Movie Trailer (again)
Last month, we mentioned a Halo trailer that had been created from clips from other movies; since then, Lt. Tuma has gotten quite a bit of feedback about his film, and he's gone and recreated it. Go watch! (Louis Wu 15:25:57 UTC) (permalink)
Xbox.com's Halo 2 Challenge
Back in early April, we mentioned a teaser for an upcoming 'Halo 2 Challenge' that was found in Trixie's blog on Xbox.com. The Thurmanator noticed that an info page is now up at Xbox.com - go check it out! Cool prizes, 15 days to play (starting, probably not coincidentally, the day after the Halo 3 Beta ends).

New Halo 3 Info from Toronto Sun
Yesterday, John_117 posted a note about an article in his local newspaper - the Toronto Sun. Our policy with newspaper scans is the same as our policy with magazine scans - we will not link them until the issue is no longer available on newsstands. (It's why you won't find any links to the GamePro article here yet...) This was Sunday's paper, though, and today is Monday - so thanks to Hawaiian_Pig, who scanned in the article (along with closeups of the pictures), you can get a good look at some of the changes expected for Halo 3! (If you're totally against knowing anything about Halo 3, this article could be considered to have spoilers.) (Louis Wu 15:04:42 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Fan Fiction Contest at HWH
watchwood stopped by to point out a new fan fiction contest at Halo Wars Heaven. Submit a story by July 15, win a shot at some cool Bungie schwag. Go read their page for full details. (Louis Wu 14:44:34 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Countdown Widget
DS noticed a Halo 3 Countdown Dashboard widget for OSX users - the page it's on also has a few Halo 3 icons for your folders. (They have to be pretty big to be nicely viewable, in my opinion - but they're well-done.) (Louis Wu 14:38:09 UTC) (permalink)
AT Reviews H2V
Action Trip looked over Halo 2 Vista, and found it to be fun, but (under Vista) a resource hog. Well... Vista was the hog, apparently, but since you can't play H2V on XP (yet), it comes down to the same thing in the end. Give it a read. Thanks, Ure Paul. (Louis Wu 14:26:23 UTC) (permalink)
