Two New Halo 3 Guides
TalkXbox.com has posted two new strategy guides - one for The Pit, 4v4 Team Slayer, and one for Last Resort, Assault/Territories. They're looking for feedback on these - they were written by different folks. Let 'em know what you think! (Louis Wu 19:37:07 UTC) (permalink)
Present Arms.
Great crossover today from Stuntmutt - go read One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 18:02:42 UTC) (permalink)
Building Excitement
Interesting - FirstShowing.net has news of a new Peter Jackson/Neill Blomkamp project, called 'District 9' - a live-action sci-fi flick. FS suggests that this might be a way to stir up interest in the Halo project again... not a bad theory. Thanks, Anton P. Nym. (Louis Wu 17:10:18 UTC) (permalink)
Rampancy.net - Podcast and Pistol Page
Good stuff over at Rampancy.net - there's a new episode of the Anger, Sadness, and Envy podcast, and there's a new page for the Weapon Guide - this one covers the Halo 3 Pistol. The podcast covers Crow's Nest, but spends a lot of time discussing voice actors and acting. (Louis Wu 17:00:40 UTC) (permalink)
Wasted Grievances
TTL Demag0gue continues his Reclaimer comic - Chapter One Part 3 is now up. (Louis Wu 16:50:34 UTC) (permalink)
On like Donkey Kong
Rota Jota points out a Halo-related strip (maybe the beginning of a series?) at PvP today. (Louis Wu 16:49:08 UTC) (permalink)
People will sell anything these days.
InAmb3rClad let us know (with not inconsiderable scorn) that someone is selling the service of beating two levels of Halo 3 on Legendary - all you have to do is pass along your gamertag and password, and then once he's finished, you can recover it. Before you jump in on this one, read this timely warning from Major Nelson, seemingly written specifically to keep you away from offers like this one. (Louis Wu 16:32:02 UTC) (permalink)
Remote Control Warthog
Hawty "eBayWatch Babe" McBloggy found a remote control warthog for sale - you've got almost a week, starting bid is $75, and there are no bids yet. Go read about it. (Louis Wu 16:26:04 UTC) (permalink)
A helmet claimed
Yesterday, we mentioned an eBay'd helmet - we got mail from Spase, at the 405th, whose helmet that is. He sent along a link to a bigger pic of the helmet, if you were on the fence. (Louis Wu 16:21:13 UTC) (permalink)
Face It - now for sale
You might remember 'Face It', a song commissioned by Xbox Australia for Halo marketing. According to ODST05, you can now actually buy it. (Louis Wu 16:14:09 UTC) (permalink)
Stickydoom
DJLO missed our deadline for the Guilt O' Lantern contest - but he still made a pretty cool little pumpkin thingamabob. You can watch a YouTube video that covers the pumpkin (and some other stuff), or you can watch shortened versions that show just the pumpkin itself (about 3 and a half megs, in either WMP9 or QuickTime formats). I bet this would have done pretty well! (Louis Wu 15:00:30 UTC) (permalink)
Remakable maps
MLGPro.com put up a list of five maps they'd like to see remade for Halo 3 - I'd probably pass on their last two, but it's a good list nonetheless. I found it via Google News, but evildoctorwill got it posted on our forum before i had a chance to put it on the front page. (Louis Wu 14:44:35 UTC) (permalink)
A pair of helmets, sold yesterday
He was a little late for actual bidding (or I was, in posting), but MikeSierra noticed a pair of helmets (one standard, one a hybrid from a bunch of popular sources) that sold yesterday - they both went for between two and three hundred dollars. Next time! (Louis Wu 14:41:43 UTC) (permalink)
Geezers Taken to the Cleaners
Bungie played (and beat, badly) a contingent from the Geezer Gamers in this week's Halo Humpday Challenge... ouch. Thanks, DHalo. (Louis Wu 14:37:58 UTC) (permalink)
Friday's Fan Fiction
Ten new pieces for you this week in the Fan Fiction section... go read! (Louis Wu 14:35:56 UTC) (permalink)
She knows how to pick 'em.
A bit later than expected, but the Cortana cutscenes are now online in the Halo 3 Cutscene Library. 3 vids, about 2.5 minutes of total footage. (Louis Wu 02:15:28 UTC) (permalink)
