In Your Head
Halo Action Figure Theater is back, with episode 150 - and Brad discovers he might not be talking to who he thinks he's talking to. Life can be rough when you're dead. (Louis Wu 23:41:43 UTC) (permalink)
Hindsight: Halo 3 - The Ark
It's been a long wait... but it was worth it. Over at Ascendant Justice, you can read Hindsight: Halo 3 - The Ark, a blow-by-blow discussion of one of the largest levels in Halo 3. As with all previous episodes of Hindsight, you'll almost certainly run across tidbits you missed when you played through the level, or be shown viewpoints you didn't consider. The writeup ties the level into the rest of the game, the other games in the series, and outside sources of canon. If you care about the Halo story, go read this. Bring a cup of coffee or two, though - it's monstrous. Thanks, fin. (Louis Wu 20:36:17 UTC) (permalink)

McBlogging the Halosphere
A pair of pretty cool articles over at Hawty McBloggy's place - there's a Stick Figure Forge Fight (stop-motion animation, inside Forge - THAT'S work), and a pretty nice looking custom Heretic Grunt action figure gleaned from the eBay ocean. Go read about 'em! (Louis Wu 16:48:01 UTC) (permalink)
HBOFFPotW
kr-1426 stopped in to announce that the latest HBO Fan Fic Pick of the Week article is up (along with last week's, which never got announced, mostly because it was posted so late). Go read! (Louis Wu 16:44:03 UTC) (permalink)
A new Bungie product - with a full map editor (and bots)?
Very cool - looks like someone uploaded the acceptance speech vid Bungie sent to Edge for the Interactive Innovation Award announced yesterday. It clearly shows a lot of very, very interesting additions to Forge - might we be seeing these innovations in a release from Bungie sometime? (This could explain why some of the voice actors were recording new dialogue not too long ago...) Looks like MasterChief2829 was first in our forum with the news (and the forum has exploded with excitement over it). (Louis Wu 13:32:49 UTC) (permalink)
Legendary Crest - now for sale
A few weeks ago, we mentioned a Legendary crest that link4044 was working on - he's finished it. You can see pretty amazing pictures of the work on the page we set up for him - and if you like what you see... he's selling it on eBay. Starting bid is $350, and I have to say... if I had the space, I'd be bidding. You've got about 2 days to decide. Update: The eBay link was yanked - the crest was sold to a member of the RvB community. Apologies for the confusion. (Louis Wu 01:35:45 UTC) (permalink)
RvB: Reconstruction Chapter 10
RvB: Reconstruction Chapter 10 has been posted over at the Rooster Teeth website - there's a public version, a high-res sponsor version, and a commentary version with Matt Hullum and Nathan Zellner. Washington meets the Reds, and everyone gets closer to the Meta. What didn't you notice? Thanks to BlueNinja, who posted a note on our forum. (Louis Wu 01:13:26 UTC) (permalink)
