X-Play Halo 3 Viewer Challenge
Scott Robison let us know about a new challenge from X-Play (G4TV's game review show) - Mr Sark (that's his gamertag, take note, you'll need it later) has created the Sarkathlon, an obstacle course built on Standoff. Visit his fileshare, and download three files: the Sarkathlon-VIP map (Slot 4), the map itself (labeled 'Watch tut vid!', slot 5), and the Sarkathlon-Tut film clip (slot 6). Figure out what's going on by watching the film, then try to run through the course as quickly as you can. When you're happy with your result, save the film to your own fileshare, and recommend it to Mr Sark. Winners get fame and t-shirts (though maybe not in that order). You've got until midnight March 11 (I'm not sure what timezone, but I'd assume Pacific) to submit your run - they'll have a leaderboard up on the show Wednesday March 5, so you can see what you're up against. Get to practicing! (Louis Wu 18:50:27 UTC) (permalink)
The Odd Couple; 2008
Sometimes, the Arbiter just feels a little put upon. Check out today's installment of Another Halo Comic Strip. (Louis Wu 18:50:04 UTC) (permalink)
Play Halo with just knives.
rapture pointed out a funny little clip at YouTube - Robin Williams backstage at the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference riffing on Halo 3 (and the guys who try to pick up his daughter online). (Louis Wu 18:46:48 UTC) (permalink)
McFarlane Action Figure Review at IGN
IGN has reviewed McFarlane's Series 1 figures - go read what they thought! (Louis Wu 18:43:38 UTC) (permalink)
Go read a book, dork!
Joystiq snagged a couple of clips off the Conan O'Brien show - one of 'em is ith SNL's Jason Sudeikis, who calls Halo his 'first love', and then demonstrates Halo 3 teabagging... in front of a national audience. (Louis Wu 18:24:05 UTC) (permalink)
It's not his spleen, either.
Elnea stopped by to point out that not only is the next Halo Action Figure Theater out (I'd say it's probably not recommended for our youngest viewers, because at heart Elnea is a little twisted), but she's posted a review of the new Halo Action Figures she picked up yesterday - good stuff. Go read - but make sure you're of age! (Louis Wu 17:17:57 UTC) (permalink)
Symbiosis
Major Silva was the first to point out that Deus Ex Machina Episode 7 is now available on Machinima.com. DigitalPh33r's series continues in its odd progression... the numbers on the machinima.com page aren't right (they list a size of about 120mb, and a length of 27:31, when the episode is actually about 30 mb, and just over 16 minutes long), but you can download it there, or view it on YouTube (thanks, Vincent).

Another Friday, another Weekly Update
Last night, Bungie posted their Weekly What's Update on Bungie.net - it contains an interview with a bunch of Bungie guys about Bumper Jumper, a control scheme you may or may not have tried out... and a Q&A with questions culled from Bungie.net. Our forum is full of griping this morning about how Bungie keep releasing these Q&A sessions with no real info... so if you're not interested in reading vague answers to specific questions, you might wanna pass on this one. (Well, read the Bumper Jumper interview anyway - it's pretty interesting.) It's available, as always, in our Weekly Update Archive if you need it.
