Headplay VR helmet - a little more info
Hawty McBloggy brings us an update on the Virtual Reality Halo helmet she first noticed a couple of months ago. Headplay has upgraded the optics, added speakers, and is working on an accelerometer. Check out the progress video! (Louis Wu 18:06:19 UTC) (permalink)
Top 10 Halo 3 Multikills: Episode 22
The 'Top 10 Halo 3' series from Anoj continues with a Multikill entry - Episode 22 shows off 10 impressive multikills. Some have been seen before (the danger of multiple Top 10 series, I guess), but they're all fun to watch anyway. Check 'em out! (There's also an honorable mentions collection.) Thanks, urk.

A glimpse inside
A Montreal-based 3D-animator who goes by the name 'eL gRizZLy' just put up a blog post bubbling about how he'd just wrapped up his 5-month-long work on the Halo 3: ODST cinematics. Looks like it was a crew of freelance animators that was brought in to work on these cinematics, rather than using in-house resources. Fun facts! (I'm sure there'll be speculation based on the timeframes mentioned... always an entertaining forum activity!) (Louis Wu 17:52:29 UTC) (permalink)
Comic Saturday
The Catfish let us know that 2501 Episode 9 is live, and anthraxgoon also told us that X36 Chapter 2 Issue 1 is online. Have you gotten your Halo 3 Screenshot comic dose today? (Louis Wu 17:04:03 UTC) (permalink)
Sovereign Teaser
ODST Sarge stopped in with word of a teaser for Sovereign, a new machinima series. Aspect ratio on the YouTube vid is a bit off, and there's not much going on... but the storyline is laid out in the forum post and the teaser, so go see what you think. (Louis Wu 16:58:08 UTC) (permalink)
David: Resolution - live broadcast today
Juesoni stopped by to say that the next episode of 'David' (his Halo 3 machinima') would be broadcast live today at 12 PST (8GMT/UTC, 3 EST) - just three hours from when this post is being written. Swing by his forum post for full details. (Louis Wu 16:55:40 UTC) (permalink)
Last Gas for 200 Miles
Friday afternoon brought its customary Bungie Weekly Update - but it's not as chock-full of sink-your-teeth-in goodness that last week's was. A little bit about the Mythic Map Pack (thunder stolen by gaming sites around the world, beginning with Austria), a little bit about ODST's development (intriguing, but vague), a sad memorial to the passing of a character that will be missed... and a random shot at an unfortunately ineloquent Bungie.net denizen. Oh, and the recognition of an HBO regular. w00t! Go read - either at Bungie.net, or in our own Weekly Update Archive. (Louis Wu 00:31:57 UTC) (permalink)
