From the Road to the Sky
We missed a level yesterday, in our release of Halo 3 cutscenes, so today you get both Tsavo Highway's closing cutscene, and The Storm's closing cutscene. Powerful stuff! (Louis Wu 22:28:49 UTC) (permalink)
Guilt O' Lantern Reminder

Awesome Angles
Wow, very cool. Cody Miller took a speedrun of Tsavo Highway (done by Simpsons Rule and Psychophan7), and refilmed it in the style of Gran Turismo. It's four and a half minutes long, and a lot of fun to watch. Go see! (Louis Wu 22:00:05 UTC) (permalink)
Saving the Secret, Parts One and Two
Leader of Blind let us know that Abyss Studios has the first two episodes of their Halo 2 miniseries, 'Saving the Secret', online and viewable. Part 1 went up before Halo 3 came out, but Part 2 went live on Friday. It's Halo 2-based, but pretty well-done.

Screens and Comics
TTL Demag0gue let us know about a couple of new projects - the first is a collection of artistic screenshots he's taken, the second is a Halo-based comic strip he's building from Halo 3 screenshots. (There are a couple of pages already - the series starts here.) Both projects are pretty high-quality - check 'em out! (Louis Wu 21:13:31 UTC) (permalink)
The Riot 71
Sigafoos let us know that The Riot 71 is now up - 34 minutes, 14 mb, ramblings about the website, the community, and totally non-Halo-related stuff. Brathnok works very hard at making Sigafoos look dumb. You'll have to decide if he succeeds.

Just one more round...
Dean Takahashi is addicted to Halo. Go read why. (Louis Wu 17:39:50 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Community League
Maximum Fear is setting up a league for Bungie.net groups - 4v4 team slayer, consisting of about 30 teams. If you're interested, swing by the group he's set up for the purpose! (Louis Wu 17:38:06 UTC) (permalink)
That thing's big.
I love this stuff. Omega did a pretty nice job of estimating the size of a large (possibly spoilerish) item on 'The Storm', using a fan-generated method for getting to a measuring spot, and known info about the Halo universe itself. (Louis Wu 17:35:24 UTC) (permalink)
For all you Marty Stalkers
A couple of Marty O'Donnell tidbits: Simen went to see the Play! concert in Norway on Friday, and the Halo music was introduced by Marty (a recorded message - youtubed about two thirds of the way down the page)... and Anton P. Nym noticed that Marty will be participating in a panel at the LA Music Conference next week, presumably discussing Halo. (Louis Wu 17:29:49 UTC) (permalink)
Flawless Cowboy, Leavin' on an X-Plane
Mid7night continues his X-Plane shenanigans - this time, he's built a replica of Halo (the second level of the first game) in X-Plane. Go look!

Deadly.
kornman00 got his hands on a 360 stress test kit... and he can do stuff like this... and this. Don't try this at home! (You'll get banned if you do.) (Louis Wu 17:12:42 UTC) (permalink)

PEZ let us know about a section of halowiki.net devoted to tactical jumps - visit for more info (or to ADD more info!). (Louis Wu 17:09:48 UTC) (permalink)
Halo on a movie screen
Yoshiary pointed out a study/event in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, happening November 3. They're going to be studying participants playing video games (including Halo 3) on a giant movie screen, with time for the public to participate in the morning. If you're interested in more information, visit FFgaming.tv. (Louis Wu 17:06:25 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Panoramas
Slava Nossar sent along three new panoramas - one, entitled "Nothing Sacred", from the Campaign level 'Covenant' (mild spoilers, 3857x1252, 512 kb), one from Snowbound ("Endless", 7350x1252, 1 mb), and one from Last Resort ("Beach Front", 7850x1252, 1.3 mb). These are rather amazing. go look. (Louis Wu 16:56:33 UTC) (permalink)
Prophecy 'Hope' Teaser Up
Lordstemplar1 stopped by to let everyone know that a teaser for Prophecy, called "Hope", is now available at the 508th Brigade website. Pretty nice piece of work, modeled after the Halo 3 'Believe' ad. Go watch! (Louis Wu 16:51:36 UTC) (permalink)

Saved Films - An Endless Supply of Fun
There are more and more fun pics and film clips from Live games showing up around the net - here are a few of the most ridonkulous from our forum:
- LX925 pointed out a film of a rocket that got deflected by a grenade explosion, and ended up killing a couple of people who had no idea there was even a battle going on.
- _Wheels03 and Ekkoz spent a while building a pic of a Master Chief helmet.
- Rox went through the trash on High Ground, and found some fun stuff.
- Raulboy was first to point out a film of some guys who figured out how to get a new vehicle in Halo 3. Blackstar even created a new medal for it. (A tutorial can be found here - thanks, Z.)
- Dustbunny27 got a double-kill off a single sniper shot that ricocheted in a way you simply couldn't have predicted.
There are plenty more - just scan through our forum for links! (Louis Wu 16:33:16 UTC) (permalink)
I meant to do that.
Elnea realized she'd introduced a major continuity error in Halo Action Figure Theater - or did she? Problem solved, in episode 98.1. (Why not 98.6, that's what I want to know?) (Louis Wu 15:22:18 UTC) (permalink)
When you can't sell the whole thing...
Looks like this was bought with Buy it Now between when Arancio Atlas pointed it out on our forum and now... but someone hacked up a life-sized Halo statue and sold just the head, as a bust. Not a bad finishing job! (Louis Wu 15:20:01 UTC) (permalink)
Them's The Breaks
Haloplayer came by yesterday to point out a new comic from Injured Knee Productions - the strip is now called 'The Newbs', and this strip is called 'Them's The Breaks'. It looks at the current melee system in Halo 3...
