Red vs. Blue: Valentine's Day 2009
Rooster Teeth has a new video up for sponsors (it'll be available to the public pretty soon) - it's in honor of Valentines Day, and Caboose is sad. Go watch why. I'd use a line from the video as the title for this newspost, but the best ones are all full of curse words. (Louis Wu 21:13:03 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Wars Reviews, Feb 13
The reviews for Halo Wars are starting to come out - I think we'll summarize them once a day or so, so that you're not flooded with newsposts. Today's entries: First Look Reviews has a video review (thanks, sniper2477), and PC Magazine has a Hands-on article. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 21:09:21 UTC) (permalink)
Give me that old bomb
CMNeir and MidgetDance took a Bryan Simon song, and built a music video around it. Fun stuff! (Thanks, again, urk, dangit...) (Louis Wu 21:01:31 UTC) (permalink)
Phurion - Waltz (also in 3D)
Phurion created a video using a single Kilimanjaro during a Multi Team game on Foundry - it's quite nicely done. And as an added bonus, he created a 3D version that works with the standard red/blue glasses you watch 3D movies in. urk told me about these - are you listening to urk these days?

Love, life's sweetest reward
Earlier this week, Hawty McBloggy asked you for eValentines she could share with the world - today, she's posted the best ones. Go see... and maybe you'll find some inspiration. (Louis Wu 18:29:58 UTC) (permalink)
I Won't Teabag On The First Date
Bryan Simon's got a new song for you, just in time for Valentine's Day... it's called 'I Won't Teabag On The First Date', and it's romantic as all get-out. (There is no money-back guarantee on that promise.) I think Hawty McBloggy could snag a few Halo 3 Pickup Lines from this! If you're interested in just the MP3, we've got that for you, too (3.6 mb).

Flag-Stoppage... of the Epic Variety
Yesterday, Jagged stopped by with a question about how to get a Halo 3 film clip onto the web. (Still no word from Bungie when the BuTube feature is going live.) Urban Reflex watched the clip and decided it was pretty cool... and did a great job of recording it. Check this post for both streaming and download links - Jagged managed, in the course of attempting to avoid some missiles in his Banshee, to cause one of those missiles to kill the guy who just stole his flag. It's moments like this that make me love Halo 3.

Have no friends? Buy one!
How much is friendship worth? As of right now, it looks like... $0.99 (Australian). That's the current bid (with one day left on the auction) for someone offering themself as a Halo 3 Xbox 360 LIVE Friend who wants to help you play through Halo 3 on Legendary mode... and as a bonus, they're "relatively skilled". Thanks, ODST05. (Louis Wu 13:04:52 UTC) (permalink)

Halo Wars Demo Sets Records
According to a Microsoft press release, the Halo Wars demo set a one-day Xbox LIVE demo download record, and hit 2 million downloads in the first 5 days. I found summaries everywhere, and a full copy at Australia's iTWire.

I got your super weapon, right here.
Urban Reflex noticed that IGN posted a 'Top 10 First-Person Shooter Cliches' - Halo contains most (if not all) of them. (Louis Wu 13:03:01 UTC) (permalink)
Power to the makers!
americanista123 created a Halo 3 killtage showing off the prowess of Bungie employees - it's a touching tribute, and nicely edited. Go watch!

Strategy on Xbox - now for download
Yesterday, we mentioned a new Halo Wars ViDoc on Xbox Live Marketplace - for those who want a downloadable version, we've put it up in both WMP9 format (139 mb) and QuickTime format (144 mb). It's an interesting discussion about how the Ensemble team customized the controls for a console RTS.
