Consider the casket... unsealed.
Dan Baker has stepped up the pace on his Halo comic - Page 3 has been finished, Page 4 has a gorgeous panel on it, and the whole thing, to date, has been made available in PDF format, if you want to print it out yourself. Go see! (Louis Wu 21:56:26 UTC) (permalink)
Forge Art Contest Update
Maximum Fear has an update on his Forge Art contest posted on his site - entries are still welcome until April 25, but you can see a few of the best things he's gotten so far by swinging by his site. (Louis Wu 21:53:46 UTC) (permalink)
DCGN - a new Friday Night Tradition
AoD Deadite stopped by to report that the Dispatch Community Game Night #1 went well - you can read a Bungie Humpday-style writeup of the games, as well as see a short trailer showing off some of the gameplay, on their website. (I can't find a way to link to the post directly, but as of now it's on top.) If it looks like fun, they're doing this every Friday night. (Louis Wu 21:29:02 UTC) (permalink)
Sleek? I don't think I'd call it sleek.
Not surprisingly, when Wired Magazine took a look at powered suits in honor of the upcoming release of Iron Man, your favorite Mjolnir outfit made the list. (Louis Wu 18:57:30 UTC) (permalink)
More AA Area Fun
Rockslider's expanded the fun you can have with the AA gun megabattle he mentioned last week - now intercept them on their way to the gun. Looks like a blast! (Louis Wu 17:14:10 UTC) (permalink)
Winter on Valhalla
Over on NeoGAF, someone posted pictures of Valhalla... under a heavy layer of snow. Looks great! Thanks, DHalo. (Louis Wu 17:07:08 UTC) (permalink)
The Riot 93
Sigafoos sent word of The Riot 93 - 30 minutes, 12 mb, with the requisite community news and challenges, along with discussion of the upcoming maps. Good luck to Night Rider 7! (Louis Wu 17:05:37 UTC) (permalink)
ARGs taken out of context...
Wow. An image that surfaced during the IRIS ARG last year is back in the news - AOL wonders if it's a real UFO sighting. (Hint: no.) Thanks, DKTH3puma. (Louis Wu 16:42:59 UTC) (permalink)
Grifball Hijinx
QuikThnkr let us know that there are two grifball-related goodies for you to listen to or watch: Week 1 Episode of the Grifball Explosion podcast is up and ready for download - guests included trigger119, who announced that GamingTV would be broadcasting some matches live, with commentary, in the upcoming season... and American Dream has put together a second training video celebrating the start of the Spring Season. (They did this in advance of a big match last season, but we didn't highlight it.) (Louis Wu 13:45:30 UTC) (permalink)
The internet makes people meaner.
Last week, I asked for stories from couples that game together, or that met while gaming. (It seems that submissions to that thread have dwindled; I guess it's time to start thinking about compiling the info into a story...) On the other side of that issue is this kind of thing. People have always groused to friends when their spouse is spending too much time doing something they find less than valuable... but blogging about it - grousing to a MUCH larger potential audience, most of whom don't actually know you or know how lighthearted (or serious) your grousing is - seems... meaner.

Halo 3 HD Clip Recording
Zafar Iqbal found a site that's offering to record Halo 3 clips in any resolution up to 1080i for you. Eventually it'll be a paid service, but right now they're offering a 7-day free trial. Swing by for details! (Louis Wu 13:29:09 UTC) (permalink)
