The Gravemind is always greener
Oh, man... at first glance, Ollie looks like he's related to Sebastian (from Disney's Little Mermaid), but look closer and he's something... else. Thanks, ZZoMBiE13. (Louis Wu 23:05:13 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Wars Achievements - now online
sharpsniper99 noticed that Xbox360Achievements.org has posted the Halo Wars Achievements - some provide interesting insights into the campaign gameplay. Hold off if you don't like spoilers. (Louis Wu 21:27:24 UTC) (permalink)
The cake is not a lie.
Whoa. Hawty McBloggy highlighted a cake made by Saiyan-Silk for her husband's birthday... that's an awesome cake. (Louis Wu 20:58:14 UTC) (permalink)
DigitalPh33r's Holiday Special: Part 1
This was released on Thursday, but it's pretty funny - DigitalPh33r posted the first half of a Holiday Special, riffing off his work (at least one of the jokes requires having watched the Machinima.com Holiday Video to get). It's only 2 minutes long - go watch! (Louis Wu 16:09:20 UTC) (permalink)
Real-life Hunters
Shadowfox ran across some pretty cool video of a deap-sea siphonophore... it looks like a single large organism, but is actually "a colony of numerous individual jellyfish-like animals that behave and function together as a single entity." Sounds (and looks!) an awful lot like Halo's Hunters! (A tidbit that surprised me - the relatively common Portuguese Man o' War is a siphonophore.)

Halomon - Gotta Pwn 'em All
Hawty McBloggy told us about some more Halo/Nintendo mashup artwork from CrazedOne1988 - he's followed up his screenshots (we mentioned them a couple of weeks ago) with cover art. Go see! (Louis Wu 15:32:26 UTC) (permalink)
Game with Fame - Innerpartysystem
Looks like I missed a 'Game with Fame' announcement last week - but never fear, the actual day of gaming isn't coming up for another week and a half. Innerpartysystem will be playing Halo 3 with folks on January 8 - if you're into their electro-punk, here's a great chance to get to know them better! (Louis Wu 15:31:55 UTC) (permalink)
Recovery One - Remade
Ben, the web guy over at Rooster Teeth, has been recreating the RvB Recovery One miniseries in the Halo 3 engine. I think he's doing a pretty impressive job, especially considering he's not using any of the extra post-production stuff that the Rooster Teeth crew used. You can watch Episode 1 here, and Episode 2 here. (Both are in 720p goodness.) (Louis Wu 15:28:33 UTC) (permalink)
ODST Wallpapers
A10M1C let us know that he'd created a few ODST wallpapers in response to Bungie's concept art released a couple of days ago. You can find 'We Stand Together' in both Standard and Widescreen in his DeviantART gallery... along with 'The Rookie' (also in Standard and Widescreen). Nice work! (Louis Wu 15:28:04 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Mythbusters: Episode 8
RandomSauce let us know that the latest iteration of Halo 3 Mythbusters is now up - some really cool stuff in there! (One of the quirkier myths - not particularly useful, but interesting - is that a splatter in a Hornet on Avalanche will register as a cone kill on B.net - I just found this out myself, last night. My 'cone kill' in that game was actually a Hornet splatter.) This is one of my favorite series!
