Fall of Reach Movie Project - End of the Concept Art
El Mayimbe let us know about the fifth (and final) piece of Kasra Farahani's concept art from the
project being put together by Stuart Beattie - this one shows off the destruction of the Pillar of Autumn, which blends in to the beginning of the first Halo game. Go take a look! (Louis Wu 22:49:38 UTC) (permalink)
The Littlest Spartan
Elnea's back - Halo Action Figure Theater #151 is now online. I'm not sure the Canadians are going to be happy. I laughed, though. (Louis Wu 20:04:16 UTC) (permalink)
I blew my chance at a Monty Python joke.
Hawty McBloggy has been busy - she's got three new Halo-related things for you to check out. The biggest is her writeup of the Bungie experience at PAX (great pics - and you should page back through her blog for lots more in the last few days), but there are also some gorgeous pictures of a fan-created replica of a Brute Spiker (we were contacted as well, and I hope to have a full gallery soon), and a rather scantily-clad female custom Spartan she found on eBay. She was as busy as I was at PAX, and yet still found time to blog every night about it; I'm thinking of turning HBO over to her. I doubt it's pretty enough, though...

Teabag Me
Last week, we mentioned an ode to Bungie from Bryan Simon - he's back, with another piece. This time, he's offering Bungie the chance to burn out their frustrations with fan anger on him... go listen. Thanks, Stacey.

Halo Goodies for PAX-goers
At 5:30 on Sunday afternoon, Bungie got rid of a huge number of boxes of schwag that had been taking up room in storage somewhere; they did it by tossing stuff out to a large crowd in front of their booth. It's sort of amazing nobody got hurt - some of those boxes have really sharp edges! If you want a sense of the zaniness, swing by Kotaku - they filmed it. (Louis Wu 14:18:06 UTC) (permalink)
Assembly - it's not Midship
NeoGAF's Kibbles was amused by ScrewAttack's "Hard News" segment in which Assembly was described this way: "It looks like a remake of Midship, the popular Halo 2 map that a lot of people love" (2:05 in). Before you go insane, it looks nothing like Midship, except for the color scheme. (Louis Wu 13:57:00 UTC) (permalink)
Power suits, and who's wearing them
Maxim posted a list of the "13 Most Badass Video Game Power Suits" - they're not all armored, some are literally power suits (pinstripes and all), but Master Chief's Mjolnir armor made it to number 12. Thanks, NickLee808. (Louis Wu 13:56:41 UTC) (permalink)
Master Chief Goes to Hollywood
Cody Miller noticed a Master Chief costume in Hollywood yesterday. His speculation is clearly a joke, but it's a nice shot!

Assembly Gameplay - High Quality
TDG, over at NeoGAF, noticed a pretty high-quality film of Assembly on GameVideos - the gameplay's nothing special, but the view of the map is the best I've seen on the web. (You can download a 720p version of it from that page.)

Infection form plushie tutorial and pattern
Al7eredBeasT posted a pattern for creating your own infection form plushie, along with a tutorial for building it. Swing by if you want one of these cuties! (Louis Wu 13:54:24 UTC) (permalink)
Indestructible Halo 3 TriTage
This weekend, Z sent along a link to a tritage featuring MoNsTeR, vFoFo, and Tags II (Tags II did the editing); it's more than 10 minutes long, but it's got a lot of fun plays, and plenty of slick editing. Just under 200 mb - an enjoyable watch. Check it out!
