Slick Halo Signatures
Venom at SimpleGFX.net wrote up a tutorial for creating cool-looking signatures you can use on Halo forums around the net. Thanks to The Photoshop Roadmap for pointing this out. (Louis Wu 20:11:17 UTC) (permalink)
Working on Efficiency
Overswarm has written a new article entitled 'Working on Efficiency' - playing to stay alive, rather than playing to get kills. There's a nice example of how this works in a common stalemate situation on Lockout. Good read! (Louis Wu 20:06:15 UTC) (permalink)
WETA's handiwork
Nice - JAY132 was digging around the WETA Workshop website, and came across what looks to be a BR55 in production. (It's the first image in the Gallery link he's posted.) Who knows if they'll ever get back to those... (Louis Wu 15:35:31 UTC) (permalink)
H3 Brute Captain, Modelled
ethereal has been working on modeling the Halo 3 Brutes, as shown in the Brute ViDoc a few months ago. Awesome start! (Louis Wu 15:07:49 UTC) (permalink)
If you're gonna steal...
Both Blackstar and nash--housewares noticed that a video of an iPhone knock-off also contains some Halo content... (Louis Wu 15:05:27 UTC) (permalink)
The Making of Starry Night
Wow, very cool. S3NATOR noticed that over at the Digital Domain website, they not only have the Starry Night commercial shown last December, but they have a very cool 'Making Of Starry Night' piece, as well. The site is Flash-based, so you'll have to navigate there. Go to 'Commercials', then 'Behind the Scenes'. Click on the Starry Night image in the top row, and you'll get the commercial, along with clips showing how it was put together. Very fun to watch. (Louis Wu 15:02:05 UTC) (permalink)
New McKay Art
Luke McKay posted a new image in his Red vs Blue collection - we've added it to his gallery here. He wanted to make it clear that the Master Chief is very, very tall; I think he gets the point across. (It also seems that I forgot to mention back in April that I added another RvB comic he did... oops.) (Louis Wu 13:02:06 UTC) (permalink)
Halo History Done Quick
runnersdialzero let us know that All About the Games has posted a user-generated 'Brief History of the Halo Universe' - it outlines the Halo storyline as laid out in the books in a relatively short article. (I tried to read it from the point of view of someone who didn't know much about the Halo universe... and an awful lot of it seemed like gibberish. If you're conversant with the main details, though, it can flesh out the general order of things for you, filling in gaps you might have from books you haven't read.)

McFarlane Talks Toys
Bungie interviewed Todd McFarlane, the man behind the company that will be making new Halo 3 figures next spring. There's a bunch of information about how they decide what markets to target, and how they go about making the figures. Interesting read! Thanks, Hellhawk. (Louis Wu 12:14:59 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Prank Call
This is a pretty bizarre prank call - I'm not sure what else to say about it. The tech support guy... seems gullible. (Louis Wu 12:10:21 UTC) (permalink)
