Fight Like a Girl
KP has a way with words - but it's not always the way you want to go. A nice example is his intro to the Cavegirls' Fight Like a Girl tournament, coming up in 3 weeks - it will benefit breast and cervical cancer research, and it promises to be a blast, if the last couple of years are any indication. Signups started yesterday - read his post, laugh a little, then swing by and sign up! (Louis Wu 23:38:27 UTC) (permalink)
That just looks... painful.
Devin Olsen, jealous of the press Hawty McBloggy gets by turning up unique Halo action figures on eBay, has found his own truly bizarre creation - a Custom Halo 3 Hayabusa Spartan... with wrist blades. Yep, you read that right - this guy could take on Wolverine. (Given that his blades are 2-3x as long as Wolverine's, he might even win.) (Louis Wu 20:00:38 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Photoshoot (pre-edit)
Adam Grumbo sent us a link to a series of photos taken at a recent shoot at the Austin Airport. All I can say is... dang. Nice work! He hastens to point out that these have not been digitally edited at all. Update: Hawty McBloggy has put out a call for folks to 'shop these pics... go read her writeup, and then add your own goodies! (Louis Wu 19:31:40 UTC) (permalink)
Hard Justice: Episode 1
DigitalPh33r's Hard Justice: Episode 1 is now up on YouTube. I'm a little confused - it looks like he just added 4 new minutes to the 4-minute 'promo' released a couple of weeks ago. (I guess I always thought a 'promo' was suppose to give you a taste of what the full version would be like, not BE the first half of the full version - but I've certainly been wrong before.) The series looks to be commentary on an overbearing police state... judgement is reserved until more content is released. Thanks, UnSiLeNtSlAyEr. (Louis Wu 19:04:43 UTC) (permalink)
MLG Pro Circuit - Dallas
The MLG Pro Circuit continues with MLG Dallas, opening tomorrow night. You can read the full preview here, on MLGPro.com. There's plenty of other Dallas content up now or coming soon - pro players put in their own predictions for which team will garner the 8th National Championship spot by winning this weekend, and there'll be lots of video coverage, starting with the Pre Game Show tomorrow night at 9 eastern. Swing by and root for your favorite team! (Louis Wu 18:46:26 UTC) (permalink)
Double XP at Halo3RPG.com, too
xen eldridge let us know that Halo3RPG.com is also running a Double XP weekend this weekend - Team Incineration. (Louis Wu 18:45:51 UTC) (permalink)
EXP is back - and Team Snipers is Up
This morning, Bungie posted a final update in their ongoing saga about the Experience problems folks have been having on LIVE. Looks like everything is finally worked out - but Experience not gained in the last couple of days will NOT be retroactively assigned. On the plus side, the Double XP weekend has just gone live - this weekend, it's Team Snipers. Go shoot someone! (Louis Wu 18:00:48 UTC) (permalink)
Scared of the lights
OddGodHMK let us know that The Biased, Chapter 1, Page 8 is up - things are getting weird. (Louis Wu 17:58:25 UTC) (permalink)
I'm sorry about your planet!
Captain Spark dropped off another batch of dialogue snippets harvested from Halo 3 - check 'em out in our Dialogue Databank. Good stuff in there! (Louis Wu 16:27:20 UTC) (permalink)
Multiple Penetration, by Hawty McBloggy
Hawty McBloggy is trying to get better with a Spartan Laser - looks like she might still need a little work. In the meantime, though, she's found a video with some pretty impressive laser kills... go watch! (Louis Wu 14:30:47 UTC) (permalink)

A Halo CE Roadtrip Redux
Siliconmaster482 has revisited his idea of showcasing the Halo Custom Edition maps created by the community (we mentioned his first attempt about 3 years ago) - he's created a five-minute, high-quality video that shows off a huge number of maps (though really only the middle two and a half minutes contain actual footage). You'll find details and links to downloads and streaming versions in his forum post.

Ark panoramas
nomis78 whipped out another pair of Ark panoramas - they're images we've seen before, but the composition on both is pretty nice. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 14:12:25 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Wars on GTTV
According to this GameTrailers TV promo, Halo Wars will be shown this Friday night at 1 am on GameTrailers TV (and after that on GameTrailers.com) - 'exclusive Campaign coverage' and more. Thanks, LoneRanger 2.5. (Louis Wu 14:12:00 UTC) (permalink)
More Halo Goodies in the Fable II LCE
What the... Ross Mills pointed out an article at Kotaku that details the contents of the Fable II Limited Collector's Edition - and among the stuff you'd EXPECT in a fantasy game, there's a listing for "Spartan armor and energy sword". Now, we already knew about the Spartan armor - but there's an energy sword, too? Wonga. (Louis Wu 14:10:44 UTC) (permalink)
