Hard Justice: Episode 2
DigitalPh33r's Hard Justice Episode 2 is now up - I think it can't tell if it wants to be funny or serious. Thanks, AvatarAang. (Louis Wu 21:17:45 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie.net Fileshare Changes Live
Oooh... pretty. The Bungie.net Fileshare hawtness is live (no 'render to video' feature yet, but the rest of what's been discussed is there). Heads-up: that link will work a lot better if you're signed in. Go look! Thanks, Blinding. (Louis Wu 20:15:41 UTC) (permalink)
The Worst First Level Ever?
alt.vg has an article about how terrible Halo 3's first level is - some of the complaints made me think about how information is presented to gamers by the games they play, and the line developers walk between making things too frustrating for beginners, and too easy for veterans. I think one of the problems here was that the recommendation that Halo 3's campaign be played on Heroic was aimed specifically at returning players - folks that would know to look around for things like weapon caches (which would eliminate one of the major complaints here) and to use cover when facing enemies at long range. Then again, I could just be a Bungie apologist. You decide. (Louis Wu 17:40:58 UTC) (permalink)
Of Balls, and Poles, and Polishing and Such
Hawty McBloggy has written yet another batch of Halo pick-up lines (I'm not sure how she can call it "Yet Another Top Ten Halo Pick-Up Lines" - it seems to me you can really only have ONE Top Ten... but then, she knows far more about this stuff than I do). She mentions that one of them has the potential to get you slapped - I'd say several of them do. Go try 'em out! (Louis Wu 16:49:59 UTC) (permalink)
Old Familiar Feeling - Aliens
rhubarb pointed out that a new article has gone live at Ascendant Justice - this one is written by va1or, and looks at the inspiration the movie Aliens provided to the Halo series. Interesting read! (Louis Wu 13:54:41 UTC) (permalink)

Monday Comics
Okay, one of these was a Sunday comic. Sue me. Yesterday Raulboy posted his latest 'White Space' comic - looks like the Chief has found a pretty funky skull. And this morning TTL Demag0gue told us about Reclaimer 96 - Interrogation, in which Ferial gets ready to extract info forcibly from Eternal Refuge. (Demag0gue would also like to remind you that today is the last day for submissions to the Reclaimer Comic Contest - so get your work in soon!) Update: Looks like The Biased Chapter 1, Page 9 is now online, as well - the enemy begins to be revealed. (Louis Wu 13:29:39 UTC) (permalink)
