Generals are banned from the Humpday.
The Halo Humpday Challenge this week was against Army of the Republic, a gaming clan that plays Halo 3, among other titles. Apparently, they play it pretty well - Bungie got slaughtered. Luke's writeup rocks. Go read it. (Louis Wu 21:40:16 UTC) (permalink)
Grind Rider Teaser Trailer
JustAnotherFan stopped by to announce a teaser trailer for Grind Rider, a new machinima coming this summer. Camera work looks pretty cool - keep your eyes open! (Louis Wu 21:09:02 UTC) (permalink)

A Voice from the Tomb - and a review of Crow's Nest
Over at Ascendant Justice, vociferous has begun pinning down the story told by Halo 3's terminals. It's rather detailed, and chock-full of interesting stuff; give it a read! While you're there, they've put up a review of Crow's Nest - including a Legendary saved film of the entire level. (They're doing this for every level; the Sierra 117 review we mentioned last week has a saved film, too.) Thanks to Cocopjojo for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 15:43:46 UTC) (permalink)
Ran-Pants-See
Cortana's decline continues in today's episode of Another Halo Comic Strip - I think Arby's got it right in this one. (Louis Wu 14:50:07 UTC) (permalink)
The Never-Ending Halo Quiz Game
Dan Lewis let us know that Halopedia has a Never-Ending Halo Quiz Game - users create the questions, so there's really no finish. It's already got over 2000 questions! (Louis Wu 14:43:45 UTC) (permalink)
More Halo 2 HD Cutscenes
Some coordination problems delayed our next release of the Halo 2 cutscenes in HD - but 'They'll regret that, too', along with both 'Ladies Like Superior Firepower' variants, are now available in our Cutscene Library. Thanks as always to HaLo2FrEeEk and Wraith7n! (Louis Wu 13:40:05 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Mongoose Jump - in 3D
Hawty McBloggy stumbled across a pretty cool video on YouTube; Kroden35 has created a Stereo 3D movie of a Mongoose jump (on High Ground) - no glasses required. The same eye skills that let you view magic pictures will let you watch this mongoose go off a rock... in 3D. It's pretty amazing, once your eyes adjust! Check it out.

Grifball Spring League - Starting Up
Quikthnkr (the new commissioner of the Grifball Spring 08 League) dropped by to point out that signups are happening now. If your team participated in the Winter League (and didn't get cut), you can sign up now - if you're interested in starting a new team, signups begin today at noon (central time). More details and info can be found in Quik's post. Get goin'! (Louis Wu 13:31:58 UTC) (permalink)
Life after Halo is hazy
Popular Mechanics has an article about the perils (and potentialities) of last year's astounding year in videogame growth (led by Halo 3's record-breaking first week of sales) - on the one hand, topping what has been done will be hard; there comes a point at which folks get apathetic. On the other hand, the boost to the industry overall has opened the door for smaller developers who might not have had a big enough market to sell to previously... Thanks, Grunt2552.
