Amazing Shots
Hawty McBloggy has posted some of the most impressive shots that have gone up in the past two weeks at i <3 halo screenshots - check 'em out, and then browse through the rest of the amazing collection. She's adding several every day - and there are more features coming soon. (Louis Wu 23:12:07 UTC) (permalink)
AudioLastic
Narcogen let us know that HaloMusic.com - erm, sorry, I mean Rampancy.net - has a whole bunch of new music and music musings for you today. MJCrascal21 has submitted 'Follow our Brothers', 'To Kill a Demon', and 'Covenant Dance' to the Sheet Music database (some audio coming soon), and Narcogen has added part three of his Halo 3 Soundtrack Review, which finishes the project. (This last part tries to be a little less wordy than parts One and Two - but Narc explains in the comments that he's planning to revisit some of the themes in later works, so he didn't feel like he was shorting anything.) Good stuff! (Louis Wu 14:09:59 UTC) (permalink)
AIAS says 'not this time'
In 2001, Halo was a finalist for 8 awards from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences - it won 4 of those. In 2005, Halo 2 was up for 6 awards - and again, won 4. This year, Halo 3 picked up a paltry two nominations (Outstanding Achievement in Online Game Play and Action Game of the Year) - and it lost both of those to Call of Duty 4 (which cleaned up, actually). Full results are here. (Louis Wu 13:39:05 UTC) (permalink)
Arby 'n' Chief Episode 4
Spartan Jag was the first to notice that DigitalPh33r's Arby 'n' Chief Episode 4 was up at Machinima.com (you can also find it on YouTube - thanks, Vincent). Topical - it focuses on melee attacks, and how they work (or don't). Arby'll probably take less verbal abuse by the end of the month... (Louis Wu 13:38:07 UTC) (permalink)
OMG it's Newsalicious
The Bungie Weekly Update is up - there is in-depth info about the fixes to the Melee system in Halo 3 (coming later this month to an AutoUpdate near you!), with some fascinating behind-the-scenes numbers that should really help people looking for ways to maximize damage to others (and minimize their own death). There's also info about dealing with cheaters, a confirmation that the Commando shoulders will be unlocked for everyone when the AU hits, some awesome news about an upcoming community-generated playlist, tidbits about the next DLC maps, news of a special Valentines Day hopper (yeah, because playing Halo 3 all night is DEFINITELY the way to score points with your SO), some TTL-generated artwork. Oh, yeah, and a little something something about an auction. What? Read it there, read it here. Your call. (Louis Wu 01:50:56 UTC) (permalink)
Mister Chief For Charity!
Frank O'Connor, in a fit of charity, decided to create an honest-to-goodness real-media-on-canvas rendition of Mister Chief... and give you a chance to buy it. Not only that, but the money that you spend on this masterpiece will be going to the Brian Morden Foundation, which fights Ewing's Sarcoma and other childhood cancers. (If you'd like to read more about how Brian Morden has affected the Halo community, swing by Bungie Sightings, and pick from the links on the right.) This piece is titled
"Here Lies the Last Sip of the Bourgeoisie Malaise Consommé."
After you study it for a while, I'm sure you'll understand where that came from. Go bid; you've got a week. (Louis Wu 01:33:49 UTC) (permalink)
