Yarrrr
Elnea's posted a new Halo Action Figure Theater - and in honor of it being International Talk Like a Pirate Day, it's all in Pirate-ese. I mostly don't like this holiday... but I have to say, the third panel made me laugh. The fourth one, too. (Louis Wu 19:38:15 UTC) (permalink)
Punching Nuns
FreeeK ShoW noticed that TechRadar included Halo in its list of '48 things we hate about tech'. (Number 21 is technically 'Online Gaming' - but the picture on the first page of the article references Halo directly.) Overall, a pretty funny article! (Louis Wu 16:32:55 UTC) (permalink)
The Rumors Just Keep Flying
Gamasutra is speculating that the Internal Halo team at Microsoft Game Studios might be called 'Spawnpoint Studios' - go read their rationale!

Hawty Offers you a Quickie
Hawty McBloggy has posted the results of last week's gamer survey (are you left-brained or right-brained, and how does that affect your Halo playing?), and has put up a NEW one - how fast is your reaction time? Go test yourself. You'll finally know why those other guys keep getting the drop on you.

Arm The Flag Wants It Done Wrong
AnTi PRO let us know that Arm The Flag is running a new contest - build a specialized de-motivational poster with the theme "You're Doing It Wrong" (wow, twice in one day!), top 3 submissions will get 1600 MS Points. (You can only submit two posters to the contest, so choose carefully!) Read the contest page for hints and full rules, and a submission link. (Louis Wu 13:14:28 UTC) (permalink)
Halo vehicles and characters in Spore
When the Spore Character Editor was first released, we pointed out some early community efforts to introduce Halo content into the Spore universe (here, and here) - yesterday, over at the NeoGAF forum, Botolf noticed that there's actually a pretty extensive collection of Halo creatures now catalogued (including some awesome vehicles). Go check 'em out! (Louis Wu 13:02:28 UTC) (permalink)
My wife wants a 'You're Doing It Wrong' button, too
Edge has a fascinating discussion with Damian Isla about Halo's AI, and where its weaknesses are. Go read! Thanks to Narcogen, at Rampancy.net, for the (pirate-flavored) heads-up.

Checking Up On Fate
TTL Demag0gue came by to announce that Reclaimer 89 is now up - I think the Reclaimer is getting tired of being controlled. (He also added some goodies to the prize pack that will go to the winner of the Reclaimer Contest...) (Louis Wu 12:59:10 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Wars Field Manual Updates
The Halo Wars website has added new info to their UNSC Field Manual - clicking on 'Barracks' will get you info on Marines (and their domiciles), and clicking on 'AirPad' will get you info on the Hornet Launching Structure, and the Hornets themselves. (That gun seems to work a LOT better than the one in Avalanche...) Looks like BlueNinja was first with the news. (Louis Wu 12:48:12 UTC) (permalink)

Stalking META
We pointed out a rendition of The Meta, a character from RvB: Reconstruction, posted by ZZoMBiE13 yesterday - he's followed up with another one. I like this one even better! (As before, you can add your comments here if you've got an RvB account.) (Louis Wu 12:39:13 UTC) (permalink)
Inside Halo 21
After a long period of dormancy, it seems that Inside Halo is making up for lost time - Hydrosis noticed that Episode 21 is already up. Community News, Top Plays, and some entertaining funny stuff - go watch! (Louis Wu 12:38:04 UTC) (permalink)
