Montage Man
Raptree stopped by with links to a trailer and Part 1 of a machinima project entitled 'Montage Man'. (It has nothing to do with montages.) Pretty nice work! Go watch.

MLG on ESPN
Whoa - Major League Gaming has signed a deal with ESPN - it's the big leagues, baby! Thanks, BuckHijo. (Louis Wu 22:20:35 UTC) (permalink)
IRIS Overview available from Ad Agency
Wow, very nice. thebruce found a full overview of the IRIS campaign, as set up by AKQA, the agency tasked by Microsoft with its creation. Very slick - a fantastic way to get a handle on how this campaign went, if you missed it last summer! (Louis Wu 21:50:42 UTC) (permalink)
Wizard - now playable in UT3
Over on the Epic Games forum, Zubren posted screenshots (and a download link) for a new mod he's created for Unreal Tournament 3 - Halo's Wizard has been ported to the PS3. Nice! (Louis Wu 21:39:08 UTC) (permalink)
Going Commando.
Last Friday, Bungie mentioned that they'd be unlocking the Commando shoulders for all LIVE users - trust Stuntmutt to find a tasteless way to riff on this in today's One One Se7en. Honestly... (Louis Wu 20:48:01 UTC) (permalink)
Lego Bionicle Spec Ops Elite
retinence has put together one last Elite Bionicle - a Spec Ops version. Check out the links in his forum post! (Louis Wu 20:40:04 UTC) (permalink)

Another Halo 3 Helper, from Hawty
Hawty McBloggy has put together the Definitive Guide to Recognizing if Bunige Hates You. I think... I think I'm in trouble. (Louis Wu 14:25:55 UTC) (permalink)
Splazer Suicide
Pretty cool - The Progn0sticator, aka Lethal Casua1ty, pointed out a thread on Bungie.net which contains a link to a vid he created showing off a pretty entertaining suicide. His teammate tossed a frag grenade just as he fired his Spartan Laser - and the laser blast bounced off the flying grenade and killed him. OUCH! Yet another "if we didn't have saved films we'd NEVER know how this happened" moment. (Louis Wu 14:21:07 UTC) (permalink)
Hummer sez No Halo Influence
Miguel Chavez ran across an interview with the Director of Exterior Design of the Hummer HX concept (we mentioned the car a few days ago) - Hummer says they've heard the comparisons, but any resemblance to the Halo Warthog is completely coincidental. Funny to hear it asked, though! (Louis Wu 14:15:46 UTC) (permalink)
IRIS, one last time
Okay, this one's really sort of odd. We got email from Boolean - he'd been flying around in Google Earth, and discovered a location that, with a Road overlay, looks remarkably (jpeg, 70k) like Adjutant Reflex's Chrysopteron avatar on Bungie.net. (Remember the IRIS ARG?) If you want to explore the space yourself, grab the .kmz file from our server, and import it into Google Earth. (To match the picture, you'll need to reverse the compass (so that South is 'up'), and add the Roads overlay.) This image appears in the middle of the Nevada Test Site, a location for atomic bomb testing in the 50s. Coincidence? Or something else? (Louis Wu 13:42:49 UTC) (permalink)
Movie Monday
Bunch of movies announced recently on our forum (or via email) - Lordstemplar1 pointed out a teaser for Prophecy Episode 3, Harabek came by with his entry into the Broken Iris contest at HaloGrid, and MR from Running Gun Productions let us know that Spriggs Episode 5 ("Hammer Time!") is now available for download from their website. A busy Monday morning viewing session should ensue! (Louis Wu 13:34:00 UTC) (permalink)
