Batteries Not Included.
BOLL, unhappy with the idea that ZZoMBiE13 got a full week's worth of guest strips for One One Se7en, while he only got a single day, has submitted extra strips for your viewing pleasure. Check out today's strip and see if you approve! (Louis Wu 15:08:55 UTC) (permalink)
HAFT - Shut yo' mouth!
We already follow a couple of comics done using action figures - the first was Miniature Halo, hosted right here. More recently there's been Halo, Articulated and Halo Toy Box. But one we haven't covered specifically has been unfolding in Elnea's Red vs Blue Journal for a little over a year. (The first official episode of 'Halo Action Figure Theater' showed up on May 16, 2006 - but the name appeared a month earlier, and she'd been using the figures for do-it-yourself comics for a year before that.) She's collected all the actual episodes of this story (which is pretty darned convoluted, but quite funny at times) on her mac.com webspace - you can read the entire thing without needing an RvB account. Let her know what you think!

Wait... was that Pinkuh?
Luke McKay has done another drawing of Cortana - and I think you can tell, his style is changing a bit... (Louis Wu 13:32:19 UTC) (permalink)
LE Helmet up for grabs on eBay
Wow, that didn't take long. PFG noticed a Legendary Edition Spartan Helmet for sale on eBay - current bid (with just over four and a half days left) is a bit over $50. These helmets will eventually house Halo 3 discs - but not for a few months. (Louis Wu 13:15:08 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Forza Winning Entries Posted
Bungie has posted the winners of their Forza car modification contest (they originally announced it here) - all four winning cars are pretty danged cool! Check 'em out. Thanks, Radiago713. (Louis Wu 12:37:16 UTC) (permalink)
H2V review from 411Mania
411Mania.com has reviewed Halo 2 Vista; overall, they liked it. (They gave it a rating of 8.1/10, with high marks for Sound and Fun Factor.) They did gripe that using a keyboard/mouse combination results in definite lag - this is the first time I've heard this. (Louis Wu 12:26:14 UTC) (permalink)
A fresh coat of paint, but not much else
On the other end of the spectrum, Exclaim tried out the Halo 3 Beta - and were pretty much unimpressed. Too many 14-year-olds teabagging the reviewer's corpse, apparently. (Louis Wu 12:25:32 UTC) (permalink)
A Labour of Love
Next Generation has posted a review of the Halo 3 Beta - written by Edge magazine. They're overwhelmingly positive; they feel Bungie has taken the lessons of Halo 2 (and Halo) to heart, and are on track to release a game that will surpass both. High praise from a magazine that has given only 5 10/10 reviews in their history - one of those to Halo. (Louis Wu 12:24:45 UTC) (permalink)
Attack of the Factoids: Halo 3 Beta
Games.net is hosting what has got to be the most bizarre gaming news feature I've seen in a while: a video of gameplay on the Halo 3 Beta (nothing special), coupled with 'factoids' - info about laser weapons developed in real life, the definition of a 'Pyrrhic Victory', who we're fighting in Halo and what kind of war it is... It's odd.

Metroid Online Update
Seraphim wrote to say that work has continued apace on the Metroid Online mod for Halo CE (no, they're not switching to Vista); swing by their site for the latest news. There's a movie up at Gametrailers, showing off their newly coded morphball - press the flashlight button, and you turn into it - anytime, anywhere. Nice! (Louis Wu 12:20:12 UTC) (permalink)
