Three Mile Island
Almost missed the deadline... not quite, though. Today's installment of Another Halo Comic Strip shows how much rationalization the Chief is capable of... (Louis Wu 22:34:06 UTC) (permalink)
German 2v2 Blackout Tourney (and film)
The German Xbox Live Forum is hosting a 2v2 Blackout tourney - you can read about it (in German) on their site. There's a link in there to a huge tribute vid; 13 minutes, a quarter of a gigabyte, some nice angles. (It's mostly artfully-done 2v2 footage.) Thanks, Mullekatze. (Louis Wu 21:11:29 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Blimp
Crackshot53 found an old YouTube vid showing off a blimp you can make yourself on any Halo 3 level with a high-enough sky. All you need is a box, a grav lift, and a stationary shield. Check it out! (Louis Wu 20:01:00 UTC) (permalink)
TTL - Steak and Cheese
It's Tuesday, so it's time for a Tied the Leader update - and XerxdeeJ doesn't disappoint. There's an article called 'Cattle Drive' which looks at how many pounds of steak Bungie owes TTL Gunslingers because of that Steaktacular medal available in Xbox Live Matchmaking (they're happy to take their payment in living cows, actually)... and there's a new panel discussion looking at what brings us back to play Halo again and again. (Interesting read!) Go explore! (Louis Wu 16:00:22 UTC) (permalink)
Entropy, back again
Back in January, Gary UK and The MrJump released a jumping video, and announced it on High Impact Halo. (Thanks, Psychophan7.) Last night, they visited Halo 3 Forum, and put up the same post - you'd think, if you never saw the HIH post, that it was a brand-new video. Well, I guess the high-res download, originally hosted at Mythica, needed a new home, and now it has one - at FileFront - so that's a good thing... and it's a pretty cool vid in any case, so if you haven't seen it, you should go watch. Some amazing jumps, I thought. (The Rat's Nest section is a powerful argument for the death barriers Bungie put everywhere - these guys prove that without them, you can pretty much go anywhere, and do it in Matchmaking, which is not really so much fun for non-jumpers.) One of these days, I gotta try that Pit jump to get into the spawn section above the base... thanks to RVideo for noticing the H3F post. (Louis Wu 13:17:19 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Tourney Controversy
So, remember that US Army Halo 3 Championship that had its own playlist last month? Seems there's some controversy over the winners... check out Geekpulp for more details. The New Zealand rules clearly state that the top-ranked eligible player in NZ would be chosen for the regional tournament - but this didn't happen. (This is true all over that region - Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore...) Somewhat unfortunate, in terms of what this might mean for future tournaments, I'd say... (Louis Wu 12:53:50 UTC) (permalink)
Finishing the Fight
Davis Beutler performed 'Finishing the Fight' at his school's talent quest, and put together a video montage of the event. Go watch! (Louis Wu 11:59:13 UTC) (permalink)
