Marvel's Halo Offerings - Now with More Efficiency
Got word on the Halo comics coming out later this year from Marvel... a little bird tells me the all-new (hint, hint) team working on the next two series is taking things at a much more efficient pace. This will not be another Uprising debacle! (Louis Wu 21:34:15 UTC) (permalink)
HBO: Goosed - A Contest
Domino Theory is a Halo fan who loves to see people smile. So much so, in fact, that he's kicking off a series of contests here at HBO - do what he asks, he'll give you free maps. How cool is that? Contest One is live now - it's called 'HBO: Goosed', and all you've got to do is send along some cool mongoose pictures. (Read the contest page for full details, actually. We'd hate to disqualify you for something dumb.) You've got a week... so get to 'goosin'! (Louis Wu 20:32:38 UTC) (permalink)
Searchers
Dennis Powers let us know that Shipwrecked Episode 55 is now up - the search continues, but something else gets found. (Louis Wu 20:13:00 UTC) (permalink)
A potato in the melting pot of awesome
DeepCee, the artist behind the ODS Steve webcomic that lives over at Hawty McBloggy's, is the subject of today's Average Joe interview at Bungie.net. Go read about what makes him tick! (To think, we provided him with a window into the Halo community... I remember when he was just a wee baby! Okay, maybe I don't. But I'm tickled that we helped him grow into the community entertainer he is today!) Update: Looks like mendicantbias00 beat me to it. (Louis Wu 19:55:12 UTC) (permalink)
Time Lapse Panoramas
Decadence Night sent word that he's been working on a new panoramic technique; he calls the product a 'Time Lapse Panorama'. He sent along two, as examples: The first is a thwarted Hog assault on an Avalanche base (4184x807, 731k), and the second is an unfortunately timed Mongoose jump (4416x848, 835k). Pretty impressive!

ToyMania
Bongo8789 sent word of even more pics of upcoming Halo figures - and a list from McFarlane about the rest of 2009's lineup. And I must thank RichterScales for bringing this image to our attention... is this a comment on the MC's capabilities as a weapon, or something more sinister? (Louis Wu 18:11:04 UTC) (permalink)
Red vs. Blue: Relocated Part Two
Gah... I'm forgetting all sorts of things today. AvatarAang noticed yesterday evening that Red vs Blue: Relocated Part 2 was live... and I forgot to mention it to the rest of you. Caboose and Grif steal the show. (Louis Wu 17:56:18 UTC) (permalink)
IGN's Mythic Vids
Domino Theory was the first to notice a set of five new videos in IGN's Halo 3 video collection - check 'em out for Mythic Gameplay! Update: Entire writeup (with vids inline) is here. Eep! Update 2: NeoGAF's EazyB noticed a whole series of vids at GameVideos, too - they're part of the 1UP writeup of the event. (Louis Wu 17:15:10 UTC) (permalink)
HBO's Own Look at the Mythic Maps
KP was another of those invited to Bungie's studio last week to play around on the Mythic maps. He grabbed some video clips, and supplemented them with impressions... go read, and watch! (Louis Wu 17:00:08 UTC) (permalink)
Like myths through an hourglass...
The first of the writeups of a press event Bungie held last week is now online - swing by Tied the Leader for a whole passel of screenshots of the Mythic Map Pack, along with some very intriguing discussion to go with them. Our own writeup (with pics, and some vid clips) will be coming soon! (Louis Wu 16:10:13 UTC) (permalink)
A Splitreason shirt you can help bring to life
Anton P. Nym brought to our attention a design for a new Halo-related t-shirt at Splitreason.com. This will not become a shirt unless enough people vote for it... if you think it should be for sale, make your voice heard!
