They went boom, mommy...
Chris101b pointed out a YouTube vid he posted last spring, showing off a glitch you can trigger in Forge that might have potential for Machinima makers who want to have a bunch of people die spontaneously. (You could probably do this by having them quit out of the game... but this glitch also gives you a funky explosion to go with the deaths.) Weird! (Louis Wu 20:03:27 UTC) (permalink)
Double XP Weekend - Team Fl-er, Melee
According to the February Matchmaking information Bungie posted a couple of weeks ago, This week's Double XP Weekend was supposed to be Team Flag. According to profhalo (and others), what we ACTUALLY got was Team Melee. I'm guessing that means Team Flag is next week... but for now, go beat down some people. (Louis Wu 19:59:46 UTC) (permalink)
Shiny
Penguin Ninjoid found a funky little place in Avalanche where the lighting... behaves oddly. Check out his post for pics. (Links lead to larger versions housed at haloscreenshots.net.)

Halo Wars: Hardcore History
GrimBrother One noticed a new piece at IGN on the Halo Wars storyline - videos seem to be mostly cutscenes (both from Halo Wars and Halo), text gives you a bit more info. Take a look! (Louis Wu 19:52:16 UTC) (permalink)
Podtacular 180: Halo Wars Demo-lition
Podtacular Episode 180 is up - this one is called 'Halo Wars Demo-lition', and focuses on (can you guess?) the Halo Wars Demo. 39 mb, xx mins. Thanks, Samus 117. (Louis Wu 19:51:40 UTC) (permalink)
The Bungie Blog: more videos than you have time for
More goodies at Bungie.net - a link to a trick-jumping video from Resix the one ("Intrepid"), and another montage from Halo 3 In the Work Place ("Screams and Splats Montage"). Lots of stuff to watch! (Louis Wu 19:51:15 UTC) (permalink)
MLD Top 10 #2: Mishaps
Another vid, courtesy of the Bungie Blog - this one is week two of Major League Driving's Top 10 series. THis one focuses on vehicle-based mishaps. Things with engines weigh a lot... stay out of the way! (Louis Wu 18:17:40 UTC) (permalink)
Fading Into Nothing :: A Halo 3 Dualtage
Bungie's got word of a Dualtage put together by sTaTic HAZARD, using gameplay from FrosTyy ShoTz and Eyce Pickk. (Thank goodness for cut-and-paste; I'd get carpal tunnel syndrome trying to keep up with the capitalization there.) Great gameplay! (Louis Wu 18:11:21 UTC) (permalink)
MLG/ESPN Top Ten #15
The newest MLG/ESPN Top Ten (#15) is live now (thanks, backflip10019) - some amazing gameplay shown here. Go watch! (Louis Wu 14:08:23 UTC) (permalink)

Two Free Halo Wars Songs
DHalo noticed that the Sumthing Digital website has a promo for two free bonus songs off the Halo Wars Original Soundtrack - unfortunately, the code they've used seems to only work in Internet Explorer. Never fear - DHalo has provided you with a link that will work in most (all?) browsers. You'll have to download a small Java application to get the songs, but it seems to be safe.

Vids and Requests from Halo3Montage.com
Lando Griff1n sent us a few links you might be interested in. First was a music comedy video recreating Andy Samberg's SNL short 'I'm on a Boat' - it has the same naughty words as the original. Then there's a trailer for an upcoming montage by Hazmat v2, featuring NeoFlux jp. Matrix style pulled off very nicely. Finally, a post at Halo3Montage.com has a request for assassination clips for an upcoming montage that Hazmat v2 is editing; if you've got something good, go read for details on what to do with it.

Two more tidbits of press about the Mythic Map Pack surfaced yesterday - MSNBC did an in-game interview with Lars Bakken and Dan Miller (thanks, urk), and Gamespot posted a video preview of the three maps, using footage they'd recorded themselves (thanks, Kibbles). Check out both films - they've got some great footage and info!
