Installation Disintegration: Part 6
ZZoMBiE13 finishes up his special series of visits to other Halos in today's installment of Another Halo Comic Strip - man, those things get all SORTS of weird visitors. Starting next week, he's back to his usual Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday schedule for releases. (Louis Wu 14:15:31 UTC) (permalink)
You're not the boss of me
Over at Rampancy.net, OldNick takes a look at boss battles in Halo 2, and Halo 3, and discusses what makes sense and what doesn't. The followup comments from Narcogen and others are also very insightful. Great discussion! (Louis Wu 14:11:11 UTC) (permalink)
He's not falling for your Jedi mind tricks.
trigger119 let us know that GamingTV has interviewed Zukan in its ongoing 'Interviews in Machinima' series. Swing by to read what this talented Swede has to say about making Halo-related content! (Louis Wu 13:59:39 UTC) (permalink)
G4's Speedrun Coverage
When Halo 3 launched, a couple of High Speed Halo regulars hooked up with G4TV and agreed to run Halo 1, live, on legendary, in LA, during the kickoff ceremonies. Cody Miller stopped by last night to post G4's coverage of the event. I wish they'd called them 'speedrunners' instead of 'speed gamers'... but that's just a nitpick, I guess.

The Halo Shoe - from Adidas this time
Ross Mills pointed out a blog post at Complex.com that looks at a new, ultra-limited run of Halo-themed shoes, created by Adidas for Gil Arenas. ("Ultra-limited" means 100 pairs, total. No, you're not getting one.) Narcogen mentioned this as well, though he found it at Kotaku (who, in turn, got it from Complex). This means different things to different people - read each site's spin (and toss your own comments into the thread Ross started). (Louis Wu 13:45:43 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Wars - new concept art, new rumors
If you swing by the Halo Wars website, you'll find another concept art offering - this time, it's a Forerunner mining machine that's since been cut from the game. Gorgeous piece, and it looks like it was a pretty cool concept! Thanks, Mike Smith. (Mike also points out a random blog post that suggests that there'll be an exclusive sneak peek at Peter Jackson's "Halo: Chronicles" (first time I've heard that name) bundled with Halo Wars, when it ships. More on that if something comes of it.) (Louis Wu 13:39:16 UTC) (permalink)
Three Strikes
Elnea's posted Episode 122 of her Halo Action Figure Theater - sometimes, zombies don't want to stop. (Louis Wu 13:34:33 UTC) (permalink)
Random Halo Silliness
Luke McKay posted a new Halo sketch yesterday on his Red vs Blue profile... we've added it to his Gallery here. Life after the game, I guess! (Louis Wu 13:33:20 UTC) (permalink)
Working Class HALO - reproducing gameplay in comics
mrsmiley, over at Halo Babies, pointed out Working Class HALO, a site run by a bunch of guys that love Halo - and express it by creating screenshot-based comics of their matchmaking exploits. Take a look! (Louis Wu 13:28:18 UTC) (permalink)
Taking Potshots at Luke
Bungie Weekly Update is up (both at Bungie, and in our Weekly Update Archive), and it's a doozy. Melee fixes, map changes, and Luke-bashing. And Mister Chief is back. Go read. (Louis Wu 03:46:54 UTC) (permalink)
Deus Ex Machina 5: Execution
When Deus Ex Machina Episode 4 was posted, it looked like the series was over. (It was even called 'The End'.) Swing by YouTube, though, and you can watch Episode 5, a 22 and a half minute piece from DigitalPh33r. (I assume this will be available soon on Machinima.com.) John recovers from his nearly fatal headwound, and returns to save his friend, and exact revenge. Thanks, Cortana4ever. (I've already asked if we could host higher-quality versions of these films - they're some of the best machinima out there - but apparently DigitalPh33r has an exclusive deal with Machinima.com, and can only release there.) Update: according to DigitalPh33r's blog, it is at Machinima.com already. My bad. (Louis Wu 00:51:44 UTC) (permalink)
