Chronicles in Alpha? BOGUS EVIDENCE
Lloyd Foley was the first to point us to this page at AddictGaming - it suggests that a Bungie employee (oh, who are we kidding, that's recognizably Luke Smith) was playing "Robins Perch: Chronicles Alpha - Exploring Onyx". The writers claim that this is evidence that Peter Jackson's "Halo Chronicles" project is now in Alpha testing. Which would be all well and good... except Luke Smith says it's 100% fake. BUSTED.

Halo 3 Mishaps - lots of 'em
A discussion a couple of days ago over on the NeoGAF forums turned up a few interesting 'mishap' vids created by MiniWaz - they're not that new, but they're a lot of fun. Some lag, some silly mistakes - good watching. You can find a large two-parter on YouTube (Part 1 | Part 2), and a smaller (just under 5 minutes) montage on GameVee. Always fun to watch WTF moments!

Blue Realm Studios visits Bungie
odmichael posted a note last night about some interesting shirts and people dressed in Spartan armor that were showing up on the Bungie webcams yesterday. He stopped back by this morning with clarification - the shirts and the armor both belong to Blue Realm Studios, the brainchild of Devin White, a fan/Halo armorer living in Texas. Check odmichael's second post for more links to internal BRS content, including pictures, movies, and more. (Louis Wu 15:06:51 UTC) (permalink)

Hawty McBloggy is kicking off a new Friday tradition: this one is called What If, Halo Style. Round 1 asks the question "What if you could add absolutely any weapon you wanted to the current arsenal available in Halo 3... What would it be?" Swing by and see what others would add - and throw in your own two cents! (Louis Wu 14:57:44 UTC) (permalink)
