Halo Wars: UNSC Arsenal
Whoa, very cool. The Halo Wars website has started to post info about the UNSC Arsenal on their website - check this page here. There are still some 'hidden' sections - but those will probably come online in the near future, as we ramp up to E3. Thanks, Botolf. (Louis Wu 21:06:38 UTC) (permalink)
Grifball Summer League - Kicking Off
NOKYARD pointed out that Grifball Summer League has been announced - there are some interesting changes (there will be a veteran tier and a rookie tier, for example), so go read the note. The official game variant and the official map are, as always, on the top of Grifball.com. Go sign up! (Louis Wu 18:25:20 UTC) (permalink)
Visual Echoes
TTL Demag0gue mentioned that Reclaimer 58 is now up - what's going on? (Louis Wu 16:45:37 UTC) (permalink)
Yes, we cannon!
MffnMn was the first to point out a Halo reference on last night's The Daily Show - you can watch the whole 5 and a half minute segment on Comedy Central's site. If that's more than you want, the video-game-related part of the McCain/Obama comparison can be downloaded from us (1:15 long, about 11 mb in either QuickTime or WMP9 formats) - pretty funny use of Halo 3!

Fishing for Fan Feedback
Xmoosev3 noticed that over at Kotaku Australia, they'd gotten their hands on a Microsoft marketing survey... asking what sort of Halo games you might be willing to buy in the future. It's a pretty wide list! Update: Hawty McBloggy posted this as well - go see what her readers are saying! (Louis Wu 16:37:02 UTC) (permalink)
Gavino and Dan's Halo 3 Compilation
Yesterday, Gavino, a well-known fixture in the Red vs Blue community, posted a Halo Compilation. (Most of us call those things 'montages' - but hey, he's a brit.) Now, normally, I wouldn't even mention stuff that's posted in RvB journals, because they're not visible without an account... but this vid is pretty fun, so we put up local copies (QuickTime | WMP9 - each about 50 mb) if you don't have an account. (If you do, you can watch it streaming, and you can comment.) Fun gameplay (plenty of betrayals), fun music, nice editing. Go enjoy! Update: RvB's web guy, Ben, let me know that I'm behind the times - you can, indeed, read Gavino's post and watch his streaming vid there, if you choose. (You can't comment without logging in - but I can now link directly to content within the site! w00t!) (Louis Wu 16:33:46 UTC) (permalink)
