T-Shirts for the Chief(s)
Kotaku has announced the winners of their Halo 3 Beta t-shirt giveaway (thanks, madcowjim) - congrats to PostIt-Chief and to Sean Bradley (whose energy sword was featured here just last week). Nice going, guys! (Louis Wu 18:28:19 UTC) (permalink)
The TTL AtLANtica
XerxdeeJ surfaced on our forum to point out a sneak preview of an upcoming writeup - the Tied the Leader clan held a large event over Memorial Day weekend on the beach. Great pics (except for the naked guys at the end - can YOU prove they're wearing bathing suits?). (Louis Wu 18:07:28 UTC) (permalink)
Emblem Contest Winner Announced
Over at Bungie.net, the winner of the Emblem Design Contest (remember?) has been revealed... it's a Pirate Yang to the Flaming Ninja Yin. Thanks, Radiago713 and deadguy71. (Louis Wu 17:53:40 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Wars Models
Veegie found a pair of models posted by Ian Joyner, who did some 3D modeling work for the Halo Wars trailer last year. Gorgeous! (Louis Wu 16:06:05 UTC) (permalink)
Elite Love
Heh - Major.Dump watched 'I Want Master Chief' and couldn't help himself. (Louis Wu 16:03:45 UTC) (permalink)
Pro Content from MLG
A couple of new pieces for you over at MLGPro.com - there's an interesting article about 'team killing' (no, not the griefers that kill their own teammates, but the practice of working together to take down an opponent), and the surprising conclusions indicated by statistical analysis of the games at Charlotte last month, along with a Head to Head video interview with Elamite Warrior. Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 15:37:34 UTC) (permalink)
News Flash
Mister Froggy pointed out that Halo, Articulated #45 is up. That Arbiter seems pretty resourceful... (Louis Wu 15:22:01 UTC) (permalink)
Halopedia FanFic Contest
Wow - two Fan Fiction contests announced in two days. Yesterday, we mentioned one at Halo Wars Heaven - today, we've got news from CommanderTony, of Halopedia, who points out a fan-run one there. As far as I can tell, there aren't any prizes - but just recognition is something, right? (Louis Wu 15:19:49 UTC) (permalink)
Halo PC - not dead yet
This is interesting - sawnose, over at Bungie.net, has posted stats of the number of unique product keys of Halo PC (and CE) that have played online in the past 30 days. 4 years after release... and there are still nearly 150,000 people playing it? Wow. Thanks, Fires7orm. (Louis Wu 15:14:51 UTC) (permalink)
Galactic Warrior
Heh - I'm not sure this won't cause a rush to find these outfits before they get pulled off the shelves... but Kotaku has a story about a Master Chief-looking costume for sale in K-Marts in Australia. It sure doesn't look Microsoft-sanctioned... but we've received more mail from people looking for buyable Halo costumes than nearly any other subject, so I'm guessing the market won't care a whole lot about whether these are approved or not. (Maybe if Microsoft actually got a licensed version out there...) Thanks, Littlebigman. (Louis Wu 14:55:59 UTC) (permalink)
Killing PC Gaming?
GameDaily has a rant up today about how Microsoft seems to be trying to kill PC gaming - and Halo 2 Vista is Exhibit One. Ouch! Interesting read, though. (Louis Wu 14:51:52 UTC) (permalink)
