Halotography
Destructoid noticed a Flickr stream of Halo screenshots, enhanced to be more photorealistic - the creator, joshuadamon, felt that his work, which he calls 'Halotography', gives "a much needed breath of fresh air to Halo". Whether or not you agree with that statement, the pictures are absolutely worth a look - great job! (Louis Wu 23:19:43 UTC) (permalink)

PreGame Lobby Episode 3
Harabek let us know that PreGame Lobby Episode 3 has been released - Mike and Brandon meet a famous foe. Maybe more than one. Go watch it on YouTube. (Louis Wu 23:00:59 UTC) (permalink)
Meeting
FireDragon04 let us know that Episode 3 of his Halo 3 machinima 'Consequences' has been released - Collin and Logan have to fight to reach the hologram they'd been talking to - and they learn more about their surroundings. My largest complaint (that the Architect was almost completely unintelligible) has been addressed with subtitles - this story is going forward nicely! (Louis Wu 20:29:38 UTC) (permalink)
He's wearing sweats
Today's Another Halo Comic Strip shows that everyone has their own triggers when it comes to self-motivation. (Louis Wu 15:49:12 UTC) (permalink)
McFarlane's Legendary Collection
Wow - Littlebigman found some pics of a new collection from McFarlane Toys - the Legendary Collection looks pretty sweet! (There's also a link to some new 12-inch McFarlane figures - lots of good stuff coming!) As usual, the full story can be found at spawn.com, as well, with extra pics.

Some Cutscene-based Vids for You
Cortana4ever put together a few videos using cutscenes and music - it's an interesting collection. The last one, especially, is pretty evocative. Just as a point of interest - I nearly passed these by completely. Cortana4ever posted them in our forum with a description that basically said 'these are just some things I whipped out in a few minutes, I was bored, they're nothing special.' When someone tells me that their work is not worth much, I'll take them at their word - my time is short, and having someone self-regulate what I have to look at is helpful. If there hadn't been forum regulars responding with words of praise, this would never have made the front page, because I never would have seen the vids. Keep that in mind if you're trying to get people to look at your creations... (Louis Wu 15:19:14 UTC) (permalink)
For, um... rebuilding after the Flood
Simpsons Rule found a civilian that allowed a trade of a pistol for a Brute hammer - it might be the only time you'll see a civilian holding one of those monsters. (He won't use it - but hey, he looks pretty cool even just holding it.) (Louis Wu 14:54:16 UTC) (permalink)
Newcomers
Arby 'n' the Chief, Episode 9: Newcomers can be seen at YouTube (thanks, John_117). Reaction, at least on OUR forum, seems to be mixed; I guess this is one of those things you either like or you don't. (Louis Wu 14:49:19 UTC) (permalink)
Rain: Preview
trigger119 let us know that there's a new film from Zukan available for downloading (or streaming) at GamingTV - Rain is to be a revival of his earlier lauded Vendetta, and this preview looks pretty nice! Go check it out. (Louis Wu 14:45:11 UTC) (permalink)
Oh, Bother.
The Bungie Weekly Update is pretty light this week - some clarification about some of the rumors (and news) floating around out there about upcoming Halo projects, another list of how not to get Recon armor, some matchmaking update news, and details on the Play & Win Sweepstakes we mentioned a while back. Oh, yeah, and a great picture of Luke. As always, read it at Bungie.net or read it in our Weekly Update Archive. (Louis Wu 00:40:25 UTC) (permalink)
