PAX - for those who weren't there.
I've been feeling really lousy about my seriously late PAX writeup - this week has been very, very hard from that standpoint. Turns out I'm not alone, though; a bunch of new stuff went up recently. CrypticGuardian, over at Bungie.net, posted a MONSTER 3 hour video of his experience (740 mb!), along with lots and LOTS AND LOTS of pictures. Go see. (The video includes recordings of several full panel discussions - I watched a couple of these in person, and I could hear what was going on better in CG's vid than I could at the panels!)

New Wallpaper (sub)Site
Hawty McBloggy let us know that I <3 Halo 3 Screenshots has a new feature - Wallpapers. The section is being managed by Halcylon, and images are being included at a variety of resolutions, and will be added to every week. Check it out! (Louis Wu 20:36:44 UTC) (permalink)
No news is... no news.
Have you been feeling a little frustrated about the lack of information about upcoming Bungie projects? You're not alone. MTV's Patrick Klepek pointed out that Bungie isn't talking (Luke Smith said that news has to come from Microsoft), and Microsoft isn't talking (Aaron Greenberg said that they "hope to have information to share sooner than later" - implying that it's not entirely up to them). So... who knows this stuff? Geez. (Louis Wu 20:17:48 UTC) (permalink)
MCT3K Ep 201 (and bloopers)
Pyrosmile Productions has posted the first episode of Season 2 (the opening of Halo 2, Cairo Station), along with a blooper reel for members. Go check 'em out! (Louis Wu 20:03:16 UTC) (permalink)
Final Moments
The newest piece of Halo 3 machinima from DigitalPh33r is a piece called 'Final Moments' - it's viewable on YouTube, and it's based on the story of the UNSC Marines' first encounter with a dangerous life form in the first Halo game. Done in the style of the Halo 1 Helmet-cam sequence, it shows a couple of hours of Eric Dennison's life. Nice use of Halo 3 locales! Thanks, Spartan Jag. (Louis Wu 18:50:10 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Musical Battle
lostguru has created a 'weapon/vehicle sounds song' - a percussion piece based on sounds collected from Halo - and is wondering about turning it into a video. Go listen, and give him some feedback! (Louis Wu 18:45:29 UTC) (permalink)
Halo named in accidental shooting
gunluva found a Kotaku mention of a GamePolitics news piece on an 11 year old boy who accidentally killed himself while trying to recreate some events in Halo. There's an interesting discussion about responsibility in the resulting thread. (Louis Wu 14:41:21 UTC) (permalink)
Project Pangea - Part One of Five
The Handmade Hero is back with a video that shows off the first 25 of the in-game portraits he's created for Halo players; there's some extra information about how the project is going. Check it out! (Louis Wu 14:38:34 UTC) (permalink)
Weekly Update - More Answers than Questions!
The Bungie Weekly Update is live (though you can, as usual, read it in our Weekly Update Archive) - there are random questions asked by Bungie.net denizens and answered by Luke, there's smacktalk about last week's Recon Challenge at PAX (most of the smack is reserved for Bungie employees who didn't do what they needed to do), there's some information about the upcoming September Update... but the stuff that will grab the most eyeballs is the information about new Halo 3 Achievements, coming with the September Update (known as Title Update 2). These achievements were noticed by snooping fans at PAX, but haven't been confirmed as real or fake until tonight; the information included in the Weekly Update should lay to rest some speculation (and confirm still more).
