Chief vs Cortana
Cortana4ever let us know that sometimes the rivalry between Cortana and the Chief gets a little... competitive. Check it out - it's fun! (Louis Wu 21:32:56 UTC) (permalink)
MLG Playlist - coming soon
Tyger was the first (but not, by a long shot, the only) person to point out that the Team Hardcore playlist will be replaced in a few weeks with a new MLG playlist. Details are at MLGPro.com. (Louis Wu 21:11:53 UTC) (permalink)
Leprechauns
Bzerker01 pointed out 'Leprechauns', a machinima short created by Treeskunk Productions for the GamingTV 'Laughs for Cash' contest. He said that it "goes further than anything we have released before into the land of weird." After watching it, I can't disagree. Available in a lot of formats, from a lot of places.

Thank goodness Bungie wasn't around in 1901.
The Toronto Symphony Orchestra is performing Mahler's Symphony No. 4 tonight and tomorrow at Roy Thomson Hall. This tidbit of information is on a Halo news page because the conductor, Peter Oundjian, and a journalist, John Keillor, suggest that Mahler's impetus for the 4th and our enjoyment of the carnage of the Halo 3 battlefield are facets of the same thing - a cry against "society's rage for order". I've seen some interesting pitches for classical concerts in my time... but this one's definitely up there. (Louis Wu 17:45:41 UTC) (permalink)
Getting ready to open the casket
It's a day for comics, I guess - Dan Baker has posted Page 3 of his Halo Comic - it's just a little one... but it sets up a pretty critical scene. Go see! (Louis Wu 16:58:51 UTC) (permalink)
Making Movies
Psychophan7 noticed a new job offering at Bungie - Cinematic Animator. It's not Halo-related (well, probably not) - but it's of interest to a significant chunk of our reader base, so here you go. (I wish Bungie would date these...) Update: looks like they've just posted a 3D Artist position, too. Thanks again, Psychophan7. (Louis Wu 16:55:18 UTC) (permalink)
Everyone Out of the Pool
Dennis Powers wrote to say that the second episode of the Halo CE Chronicles Comic, 'Everyone Out of the Pool', is now online. He's also posted a comic tribute to Stuntmutt. (We miss him too, Dennis.)

Extraction
TTL Demag0gue pointed out that Reclaimer Chapter Three, Part Eleven has been posted - are you starting to get an idea about Archimedes?

More Concept Art from Ensemble
Omega noticed that there's another Forerunner structure (as concept art) posted over at the Halo Wars website. This one looks pretty cool - I love the ground work! (Louis Wu 13:46:19 UTC) (permalink)
Gotta love those multisticks!
Hawty McBloggy ran across a fun series on machinima.com - check out 'Confirmed Kills' for some great Xbox LIVE plays. (Louis Wu 13:32:05 UTC) (permalink)
No Fred Savage Here
The Calgary Herald has a piece on the recent Pro Gaming League tournament in Alberta, Canada - it's a view of the tournament scene from someone who really isn't part of it. Short and sweet. (Louis Wu 12:32:01 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 File Search
oriol let us know that Grunts R Us have put together a search function for Bungie.net's Community Files collection. It uses Google's search engine, with some custom tweaks; you can search by keyword, author, filetype, and more. Go try it out! (Louis Wu 12:30:04 UTC) (permalink)
Orbital Defense - needs your help
spesalfred is working on a Halo-based flash game in which you use MAC guns to protect Earth from the invading Covenant fleet. It's coming along - but he really needs help with some artwork. He's got a playable game you can try out; it's rough, but it should show you where he's going. If you'd like to help him with the artwork, drop him a line - he'd love to hear from you.
