I'm thinking that was a one-time deal.
Wow. Sometimes it pays to ask. Ironlion got in contact with the artist behind the Halo: Uprising comic series - and now he's the proud owner of a very cool print. Check it out! (Louis Wu 22:27:16 UTC) (permalink)
Towing Microsoft Cars
Entertaining read about Halo 3, and the team that made it, in Sydney's The Age newspaper. It's harder to get into Bungie Studios than it is to get into the White House! Thanks, Anton P. Nym. (Louis Wu 21:15:02 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 for 3 - Phase Two
JeSteR 343 reminded us that the second phase of the Halo 3 for 3 Sweepstakes kicks off today. (US-only, sorry world.) I'd forgotten about this until Ender sent a note. (Louis Wu 19:48:52 UTC) (permalink)
Machinima - It's Not Dead, Yet
Hugh Hancock has been in the pantheon of machinima gods for as long as there's BEEN a pantheon. (Wait... IS there a pantheon?) Don't worry about it - Hugh's been around since the beginning, and he's looking out for machinima makers. He just got off a conference call with some Microsoft folks about the recently released Game Content Usage Rules, and he's summarized what he learned in a blog post at Machinima for Dummies. There's a full writeup coming soon - but the take-home message is 'Don't Worry, Be Happy'. Things are way better than they might have seemed a couple of weeks ago.

Megabattles just got mega-er
Rockslider continues to refine his megabattle techniques in Halo 1 - this time, he's figured out how to have 11 marines help you out against 34 Covenant troops - with no slowdown. Go read! (Louis Wu 19:24:58 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Korea Promotion Part 2 (of 6)
Wolverine Monkey noticed that the second (of 6) Korean Halo 3 promo pieces is now out (thanks to Kotaku for the original heads-up) - it's truly surreal, but very worth watching. Go look. (Louis Wu 19:23:18 UTC) (permalink)
Just Play
Over at GamingTV, you can download Just Play, a Halo 1 montage. Its premise is simple - don't take yourself too seriously, just play. Great footage, lots of grin moments (I loved the 'pro timing in 3... 2...' clip) - it's just fun. When I saw it was fifteen minutes long, I figured I'd watch a few minutes, enough to get the flavor, and then write this newspost - I ended up watching to the very end. Give it a look. Thanks, trigger119. (Louis Wu 19:21:15 UTC) (permalink)
Cortana With Flowers
MsValentine has been cosplaying as Cortana for a few years now - but the latest iteration of her outfit simply ROCKS. She sent along a bunch of pics - you gotta see these. (She's got a profile over at Red vs Blue, if you want to say hi... but remember, she's married.) (Louis Wu 12:13:14 UTC) (permalink)
Master Chief Suite
Sean Mortensen has sent in a new score - this one's called 'Master Chief Suite', and is an homage to the Chief. Sean believes he might sacrifice himself in Halo 3, and has written this to honor this sacrifice. 2.5 mb, MP3 format. (Louis Wu 11:42:16 UTC) (permalink)
Life-sized Halo 2 MC on eBay
There's another life-sized Master Chief sculpture for sale on eBay (thanks, Red Breast) - from the writing on the box, I'm pretty sure that it's the style shown in pictures 2,3,4, and NOT the style shown in picture 1. It's sealed in a box, though, so I COULD be wrong. (I don't think so.) Current bid is a bit over $600 - don't forget to add a few hundred for shipping. (Louis Wu 11:38:39 UTC) (permalink)
GE looks at Halo 3
Another hands-on writeup, this time from GamingExcellence, based on what THEY saw in Toronto this week. The writer didn't get the saved games feature. (Louis Wu 11:02:11 UTC) (permalink)
Upping Expectations
Pro-G wrote up a first-look article about Halo 3, based on what they saw at Leipzig last week. Someone should compile a list of these. (Louis Wu 11:00:12 UTC) (permalink)
IGN's Halo 3 FAQ updated
IGN has updated their Halo 3 FAQ with new pages devoted to weapons and equipment. Thanks, FuzzyWhisper. (Louis Wu 10:58:25 UTC) (permalink)
A summary of Uprising
Altfan113 pointed out a new article about the Halo: Uprising comic series at halo3.msn.com - we haven't posted a full article list, and these aren't dated, so it's actually possible it's not that new, but I don't remember reading it before. Go see! (Louis Wu 10:54:40 UTC) (permalink)
