Wired's Halo 3 Supergeek Contest - Winners Announced
Wow. Somehow we totally missed the fact that Wired Magazine was running a Halo 3 Supergeek contest, looking to give away cool schwag to the biggest Halo 3 geek out there. I found out about it today, when they posted the winners. I'm guessing we've got readers that could have cleaned up... (Louis Wu 20:22:54 UTC) (permalink)
You have some brains... on your face.
937 sent in over a hundred dialogue snippets for our Halo 3 Dialogue Databank; great stuff from Elites, Brutes, and Humans. Go listen! (Louis Wu 18:10:09 UTC) (permalink)
For shame, Bungie.
Angry Robot has posted their Top Ten Disappointing Things About Halo 3 - while some of them seem sort of gratuitous, I gotta agree with the Achievement thing. See what you think. Thanks, Rock Opera Jr. (Louis Wu 16:56:20 UTC) (permalink)
No Scope.
Last week, Achronos made it clear you wouldn't be able to interact with the huge satellite dishes on Standoff - Stuntmutt suggests he's wrong, in today's One One Se7en. Oh, Stunt... (Louis Wu 14:34:07 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Piano - Pretty
Nice - Hawty McBloggy found a pretty cool rendition of the Halo 3 menu music... along with a tuturial on playing the Halo 3 Announcement trailer piano solo without sheet music. Go watch! (Louis Wu 13:11:25 UTC) (permalink)
Assault Mode
TTL Demag0gue let us know that the next episode of Reclaimer (Chapter Two, Part Four) is now up. Hendricks? Who's Hendricks? Update: DOH! (Louis Wu 12:38:20 UTC) (permalink)
Outpost Isil Episode 1
Treeskunk Productions has posted Episode 1 of Outpost Isil: Rekindle the Flames. We get a chance to meet three of the characters of the series, and the storyline has begun to be unveiled. It's available in a bunch of different formats; you can pick the one you want from Treeskunk's page (thanks, Bzerker), or Twilkey SRT has kindly provided direct download links to all versions (plus GamingTV mirrors) on our forum. Go see! (Louis Wu 12:35:54 UTC) (permalink)
Xbox Solution - believing again
I haven't posted too many Halo reviews recently; there were so many, coming so fast, that trying to process them all was pointless. They've slowed down, though, so new ones, usually written by people who've taken some time to digest the offerings of the game, are probably worth pointing out. Xbox Solution just put one up - Halo 3 reaffirmed the writer's faith in Bungie (lost after Halo 2). Give it a read. (Louis Wu 12:31:43 UTC) (permalink)
Getting closer to Halo...
This weekend, BobFlop pointed out a video on LiveLeak which showed off a new exoskeleton being tested by the US Army. It's similar to other vids (and other human assistive tools) discussed in the past; I thought it was fun, but not really Halo-related. Well, that video made it to CNN yesterday, and our mailbox was flooded. Almost every person who sent it to us pointed out that it could be seen as a precursor to MJOLNIR armor. So... in the interest of keeping the mail at a reasonable level, I'm posting this; go watch the vid, and decide what you think. Even if it's not Halo-related... it's pretty amazing tech.
