Bungie Blog Bonanza
Went out to buy a new headset for my phone, came back to a batch of new posts on Bungie.net. Lessee here...
- There's a writeup on My Halo Life, a series of montages being put together by a tight-knit community (though they're happy to include your fun clips). Episode 1 is online now.
- There's some news about a final live show coming from Bryan Simon - read it for details on when and where, and what.
- There's a new Community Spotlight on the Halo 3 Wheelmen, including what sorts of fun they're having, along with a new batch of files they like in the Bungie Favorites section. (There's also a 'hogtage' from them.)
That urk... he's a busy one. (Louis Wu 18:43:52 UTC) (permalink)
Pals
Bungie.net moderator Achilles1108 put together a montage called 'Pals' - it's what Halo's all about. Lots of betrayals, lots of cool kills and clutch saves, lots of wtf moments to laugh about with your friends. (The Rat's Nest hog-on-a-bridge clip was way cool.) Streaming and download links can be found in the Bungie Blog. (Louis Wu 16:28:02 UTC) (permalink)
If all these guys joined the Peace Corps...
If all these guys joined the Peace Corps...
Okay... this is just silly. Very cool... but silly. Update: this is the same kind of film - a long setup for a well-planned payoff. In this case, it's a suicide instead of a hole in one... but the concept is the same.) (Louis Wu 16:22:33 UTC) (permalink)
Frag a Friend - this Friday
The PraetoriaGuard Frag a Friend series is resurrected; if you're the leader of a fan community, you can use this event to meet leaders of other groups, and play some Halo 3 at the same time. Game night is Friday the 13th, 9 PM ET - read the forum post for details on how to get involved. Thanks, kilaMOMjaro. (Louis Wu 15:24:55 UTC) (permalink)
More Weight
Ascendant Justice took a look at the story of Halo Wars, in their usual extremely detailed style. It contains spoiler for the game; if you haven't experienced it for yourself, you might want to hold off. Otherwise, though - it's a six-page treatise on how well the Halo Wars story fits into the Halo timeline as we know it, and how good a job Ensemble did telling that story. Thanks to mendicantbias00 for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 15:19:12 UTC) (permalink)

It's Wednesday, so it's time for a comic update. Here's what we've got.
- The Catfish let us know about 2501 Episode 25 (Communication) - not so good for all involved.

- Adam Susskind stopped by with word of Chaos Theory Episode 15 (No Seasons in Space) - 5.4 mb and 23 pages of story goodness.
- Dennis Powers updated Shipwrecked with Episode 58 (Indiscretion Revealed) - sometimes it's better not to know.
- Bloogyo dropped in with word of updates to Rat's Nest - and a new chapter.
- TTL Demag0gue took advantage of the fact that it's Wednesday to update to Reclaimer 164 (Reckoning) - it looks like the Reclaimer is drawing a line in the sand. Er, fire.
