Cubee Craft Master Chief
Hawty McBloggy found a papercraft Master Chief at Cubee Craft - cut him out, fold him over, stand him up. (Apparently, it's a bit more work than it looks...) Swing by and make your own! (Louis Wu 19:06:14 UTC) (permalink)
Defrag
Today's edition of Another Halo Comic Strip solves the mystery of Cortana's rampancy - I should have known. (Louis Wu 16:08:32 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Flashmaps
PEZ let us know that halowiki.net is hosting new Flash map overviews, put together by Devozade. The first map up is Sandtrap, and the overviews should be embeddable in other sites. Check it out! (Louis Wu 16:04:48 UTC) (permalink)
Weta's headed to London on May 24
Ross Mills noticed a tiny reference in the writeup for the London Movie Comic Media expo, coming in late May - Weta workshops will be there, with (among a lot of other things) "A sneak preview of the new Halo range of Collectibles, featuring Master Chief." Nice! (Louis Wu 16:01:57 UTC) (permalink)
Whisper in the Storm in HD - on BT for now
Okay, the next Halo 2 HD cutscene release is ready... but this one's a little different. Whisper in the Storm is 5:40 long - an enormous piece of work. In HD, it's also an enormous file - it's roughly a quarter of a gigabyte. To save our servers just a little bit, we're holding back on the direct download until some of the initial demand is sated via BitTorrent - swing by the Cutscene Library and click the 'bittorrent' link for either the QuickTime or the WMP9 versions, and leverage the power of peer-to-peer filesharing! (Depending on demand, we'll release the direct download later this weekend... but if you can utilize the BT link, we'd really appreciate it.) We're seeding the torrent with 20Mb/sec for each flavor to start, so even early downloaders should see speedy downloads. This one's great - go watch it in HD glory!

A New Fantastic Point Of View
Sane Intolerant has restarted Halo Toy Box - he, too, has switched to McFarlane figures, and like Elnea, has noticed Cortana's hawtness. (Louis Wu 02:43:22 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie animators talk to RZG
Kevin Larrabee, of Red Zone Gamer, let us know that in their latest podcast (number 4), he interviewed Seth Gibson (Bungie Tech Designer) and David Hunt (Bungie Lead Character Rigger and Cinematics Technical Director) about working at Bungie, how they got into animation, what they enjoy playing now, and more. The podcast is two and a half hours long, 66.1 mb, in mp3 format; go listen! (Louis Wu 02:27:37 UTC) (permalink)
Blackstone Teaser 2
Lordstemplar1 stopped by to announce the release of Blackstone Teaser 2. Just under a minute, about 10 mb to download, or streamable from a couple of places. Looks a little scary! (Louis Wu 02:24:57 UTC) (permalink)
Not sure I'd wanna use it, but it's purty
Pixellated ran across some pictures of a laptop case mod that's heavily inspired by Halo. Nice! (Louis Wu 02:07:28 UTC) (permalink)
Brawl
SPARTAN 294 noticed that DigitalPh33r released Arby 'n' the Chief Episode 6 - "Brawl". Eight and a half minutes long, it gets back to the fun that might have been missing from the last couple of episodes. Arby and the Chief play some Super Smash Brothers Brawl... and it doesn't go so well for one of 'em. Go watch! (Louis Wu 02:02:27 UTC) (permalink)
