When you just can't wait to earn 'em fairly...
CVG has an article about 'Achievement whores' - folks who are entering the Lone Wolves playlist specifically trying to get others to help them gather up the Halo 3 online achievements. Thanks, Avateur. (Louis Wu 19:12:28 UTC) (permalink)
Is This Ring World 24 Karat?
ZZoMBiE13 is back for another Guest Sunday One One Se7en - I think he has something to say about the power of commercialization. (Louis Wu 15:34:32 UTC) (permalink)
File Share - A Source of Joy
We've got word of a couple of interesting clips that have been FileShared. One came from this thread at High Impact Halo; as far as I can see, the Halo 3 engine somehow thought that a doorway was a solid wall, because of precise placement of the
sniper rifle barrel and probably the speed of the slug as it crossed the plane (a bug, but a mighty funny one, as long as it's not you getting hit by a bullet that takes a 90 degree turn in midair...) - grab the clip "headshot???" to see an amazing ricochet. The second is hilarious, even if it was totally misinterpreted by the guy who grabbed it; there's a Brute Chieftan on Covenant who's actually taking a leak as you come in, and Sierra John 117 grabbed a film. (He thought the guy was doing something else, though...) Spin the camera around to the front on this one; even though he's just miming the actions (Bungie kept his pants on), the modeling is pretty darned close to reality - SOMEONE took their time on this one. It's touches like these... (Louis Wu 14:43:02 UTC) (permalink)
The road to Voi
Heh - DigitalPh33r (the guy behind the 'Master Chief sucks at Halo' series) posted a vid called 'Road to Voi', looking at the Master Chief and the Arbiter's journey to save Earth. Language definitely needs a rating, but it's pretty funny! You can watch it at Machimima.com, where it was originally posted, or YouTube, where it has a bigger audience. Thanks, Angelo Ferrara.

Lordstemplar1 is back, with another Prophecy update. (Search our news if you don't remember this project - it's been in the works for a while.) There's also a wallpaper linked in the post. (Louis Wu 14:33:57 UTC) (permalink)
More for your Pumpkin
A couple of cool changes to the Guilt O' Lantern prize packages... the three copies of Contact Harvest are now to be signed by the author, Joe Staten, and the Legacy package has just received an additional game, Crackdown, courtesy of a generous fan! w00t! (Louis Wu 13:46:06 UTC) (permalink)
