Fine, I'll play K.o.t.H.
Today's installment of Another Halo Comic Strip looks at game variants you'll probably be happy that Bungie skipped. As a bonus, there's also a very touching memorial to Brian Morden - ZZoMBiE13 didn't know him, but was moved by his story. ZZoMBiE13... you rock. (Louis Wu 14:28:14 UTC) (permalink)
Marathon Mix 3 - Remixed
Last summer, Nick Singer released the third of three Marathon/Halo music mixes - but he wasn't happy with the piece as a trilogy end. He reworked the second half, both to make it sound more Halo-like, and to be more satisfying and conclusive for the three-piece series. Give a listen to the final product (mp3, 3.4 mb)!

Karma's a bitch.
Hellhawk stopped by with a small clip from a game he played recently; one of the other players decided to melee a dead guy - and was rewarded by being Killed by the Guardians. Ouch! (Louis Wu 11:34:26 UTC) (permalink)
Assault Rifle, from LEGOs
Matthew Elric created a LEGO-based MA5C - I'd hate to see what happened to it after the first melee attack! (Louis Wu 11:28:59 UTC) (permalink)
Parasite
DigitalPh33r has released Episode 6 of his 'Deus Ex Machina' series - even though Plague's dead, Brent has plenty of problems still facing him - not least is a mysterious alien capable of taking over unwilling hosts. Eighteen and a half minutes long, some great camera work. Definitely sets up Episode 7 as an exciting installment... thanks to discopete019 for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 11:04:49 UTC) (permalink)
Wait... Beyonce's upgraded?
The Bungie Weekly Update was posted on Bungie.net last night (and added to our Weekly Update Archive) - there's a ton of info about talks being given by Bungie employees at next week's Game Developers Conference, along with details about matchmaking, upcoming DLC, and enhancements to the Bungie.net website. Good stuff all around! (Louis Wu 10:25:26 UTC) (permalink)
And... another one.
While Miguel was writing his customary toast to Brian on this, the anniversary of his passing, I was writing up a little description of the auction we ran to benefit the foundation set up in his name. You can read it here. (Louis Wu 02:10:50 UTC) (permalink)
A note to a friend
As per tradition, today (it's still the 15th in my corner of the world) we remember our good friend Brian Morden, aka *Ar-Isildur. Five years ago the evil that is cancer, specifically Ewing's Sarcoma won the battle and took this 19 year old young man. But not the war. Never. Sign the guestbook if you feel moved to do so. Or you can post on a thread Skav started a few days back.
I'm now heading out to meet some old friends for a few drinks and to hear some bands. They don't know it yet, but I'm gonna tell them about my brave friend, and what he, in his youth, was able to teach this old man about perseverance and faith. And love. Peace to you Brian, peace to you, brutha.
