Man, did you see that?
One thing that Halo 3 lends itself to very nicely, what with the saved film feature and built-in screenshots, is storytelling. Over at the NeoGAF forum, GhaleonEB has been entertaining the troops, weaving fascinating tales of heroism and carnage. (Here's a recent one.) On our very own forum, pete_the_duck has been doing the same thing - and now he's got a home for them. He let us know that he wrote up last night's exploits over on 'petetheduck Still Plays Halo 3' - pics, vid clips, funny stories. This is why Halo 3 remains popular - because this sort of reliving of events is so easy. (Louis Wu 21:08:57 UTC) (permalink)
With Apologies to Luke McKay
In a surprise return to comic-making, ZZoMBiE13 sent me Another Halo Comic Strip #113 today - it's a funny take on the RvB: Reconstruction machinima series. This doesn't mean AHCS is coming back regularly - but it DOES sound like there'll be one now and then - great to hear! (Louis Wu 19:24:19 UTC) (permalink)
Hooking Up - with Halo
Woody Tondorf let us know about the HBOlab web series, 'Hooking Up' - a "college comedy series about relationships and communication." Episode 3 is now online... and Halo plays a hefty role. Go watch! (Louis Wu 17:49:21 UTC) (permalink)
Even the clean titles are innuendo-filled.
Hawty McBloggy points out a pretty nice Top Kills video - she's really harsh about the audio, but it's worth watching either way; the kills are great. (Louis Wu 16:59:48 UTC) (permalink)
My New Home in Halo
Bryan Simon continues his musical outpouring of love for Halo 3 - his newest piece is called 'My New Home in Halo', and it looks at some of the multiplayer environments with a distinctly non-military eye. If you'd rather listen to the MP3, we have that, as well (2.9 mb). (Louis Wu 13:50:55 UTC) (permalink)
Vacant Shatterboxes
TTL Demag0gue let us know that Reclaimer 97 is now online - looks like Ferial isn't as on top of things as he thought! (Louis Wu 13:48:28 UTC) (permalink)
The Evolution of a Cover
Yesterday, TOR Books put out an official press release for The Cole Protocol, the new Halo novel due soon from Tobias Buckell, and S043 brought news of it to our forum. There was cover art in the release - but we'd mentioned the cover art back in July. There was a release date for the book - but we mentioned THAT back in June. I was going to pass on this press release altogether... but Metalingus627 pointed out that the cover art in the TOR press release (203k) was different from the version posted by Buckell back in July (37k). Mostly it's the armor that the Spartan on the cover is wearing - but there are some minor differences in the background, as well. According to the press release, The Cole Protocol "reveals the location of the Spartan Gray Team and delves deeper into conflicts brought about by the Human-Covenant War." These are Spartan-IIs, just like Master Chief. I thought this was interesting enough to highlight. Take a look! (Louis Wu 13:44:57 UTC) (permalink)
The M64D - it's not your dad's magnum.
Chris Bryan was most recently in our news with new content more than three years ago - but his Master Chief suit has inspired many to build their own, and now he's back with shots of a pistol he created. Take a look - great work! (Louis Wu 13:28:18 UTC) (permalink)
