A.I. - Artificial Ignorance
Many people have complained about some of the silly behavior that your marines engage in when battling alongside you in the Halo 3 campaign. But has anyone actually thought about what this means for the Master Chief? I mean not YOU... but MC? Well, ZZoMBiE13 has. Check out today's ep of Another Halo Comic Strip.

Skeet Shooting on The Ark
Rockslider has come up with yet ANOTHER minigame you can play within Halo; follow his directions to do some skeet shooting on Covenant Phantoms and Banshees over the opening desert on The Ark. Coolness! (Louis Wu 19:33:33 UTC) (permalink)
Nah, dude.
Ever wonder where the term 'Bulltrue' comes from? (It's the medal you get when you kill a sword (or hammer) wielder in the act of lunging.) Dave 'Evil Otto' Candland stopped by our forum today with a little Bungie history lesson. (Louis Wu 18:48:47 UTC) (permalink)
Potato Warrior Part 1
Sodagod has created a pilot for a new series called 'Big Food' - Potato Warrior Part 1 is the story of a time-honored battle between warriors... plus it's got baby robots. And stupid girlfriends. And scary monsters. And invisible spaceships. And... geez. It's awesome, go watch it. Now-standard Sodagod surrealism included. Six minutes long. We've got it in WMP9 format (95.5 mb) or H.264-encoded QuickTime (91 mb). We WOULD have it in standard Sorensen3Pro-encoded QT format... but Apple went and broke QuickTime with this week's update. Bah. We'll turn it into streaming Flash if there are enough people who can't see it - because it's very, very funny.

Broken Iris Songwriter interviewed at HG
We've mentioned the HaloGrid Broken Iris contest a couple of times - imSuck just let us know that he's posted an interview with Tony Verdi, the songwriter for the band. He's a huge Halo fan. Check it out! (Louis Wu 16:49:44 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Wars Monthly Update
Thunder has posted January's Halo Wars' Monthly Update over at the HW website - they've posted a timeline (mostly information from the official Halo timeline, but also some tidbits from Fall of Reach, Contact Harvest, and their own game), and they've put up a new piece of concept art that works nicely as a wallpaper. (They've also fixed a date that got broken somewhere along the line.) Check it out! Thanks to Planet Halo for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 16:20:20 UTC) (permalink)
VGL announces 40 shows for 2008
If you haven't had a chance to see Video Games Live, 2008 might be the year that changes this. They've just announced 40 shows in more than 10 countries - you can read the details, and order some tickets, on their website. (Louis Wu 16:08:46 UTC) (permalink)
Jonathan Quail
Trigger119 sent word that CROSSFIRE's 'Jonathan Quail' has been released at GamingTV. This is a 'reinvention' (CROSSFIRE's term) of Hell Quarters: Jonathan Quail, a video released a couple of years ago. That film was Halo 2-based, and 7 minutes long; this one is Halo 3-based, and 30 minutes long. On the plus side, the filming is really, really good, the scoring is fantastic, the whole atmosphere is nailed down. On the minus side... the first half drags quite a bit. (It picks up dramatically at about 15 minutes.) And it's seriously confusing. (I mean... you THINK it's not, when you're watching it, but then you say, huh?) If you've got the time - this one is definitely worth the 200mb download. Check it out! Available in several formats, including streaming. (Louis Wu 16:03:44 UTC) (permalink)
