Spartan I Project posts new favorites
It's Wednesday, so it's time to update Bungie Favorites - and there's a Q&A with the The Spartan I Project group that populated it again. Check it! (Louis Wu 19:17:52 UTC) (permalink) 
Halo Chronicles - remember that one?
Jimmy Jangles sent word that (as most of us had surmised, but didn't know for sure) the 'Halo Chronicles' project from Peter Jackson, announced at X06 (almost three years ago!) is 'on hold', according to Weta Studios. Till when? Well... probably until the Halo movie comes out. (Or doesn't.)

Halo Less Than 3
Cybrfrk sent us this link to 'Halo Less Than 3', a new song from YouTube phenom zendulo. (Never heard of her? Check out this profile piece at G4's Attack of the Show.) A beautiful girl singing about Halo and boobs? What's not to love? (Louis Wu 18:18:32 UTC) (permalink) 
Behold The Power of Cheese
TheDuoGroup has put out some of the most professional-looking Halo machinima... and they're back with an ad for the Halo Warthog. The challenge? How good could they make it... in one day? Go see. (I give 'em 3 thumbs-up.) Thanks, urk. (Louis Wu 18:03:48 UTC) (permalink) 
Halo: Helljumpers - in 3 months
Back in February, we mentioned that the next short-run Halo-based comic series, Halo: Helljumpers, would be coming 'this summer' - according to 1UP.com, that's now been narrowed down to 'July'. Good deal! (Louis Wu 18:00:50 UTC) (permalink) 
OMG He's a Mongoose-hater!
Halo3Infinity.net interviewed Tobias Buckell about his Halo novel, 'The Cole Protocol'. You can read it in English... or French! It's a great read - contains lots of insight into what Buckell liked about the Halo universe (and what he thought was missing). Thanks to CaLL Me ZeNy for the heads-up.

Spectac Flair
urk highlighted a cool racetrack on Avalanche - swing by for a video and a downloadable map for Halo 3! (Louis Wu 17:24:02 UTC) (permalink) 
Earth (a la Halo 3)
CMNeir created a video that celebrates Earth Day 2009 with some great footage from the Halo 3 Earth-based maps. Reminiscent of the 'Oh So Beautiful' series from Jamie98s - except it's Earth-only. Great stuff! Thanks to the Bungie Blog for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 17:23:43 UTC) (permalink) 
Erwins Great Adventure
thebest233 stopped in with word of Erwins Great Adventure... a very strange machinima. (Nice cinematography, though.) (Louis Wu 17:12:18 UTC) (permalink) 
More Halo 3 in WCG Ultimate Gamer Gilver was watching the WCG Ultimate Gamer last night on SciFi - and noticed that Halo 3 was part of their 'Gauntlet' episode. Slayer, BR starts, all night long... standing on pedestals. Ouch! (I have no idea how it ended; there's no mention in the post.)
Update: Gilver summarized the episode for those who missed it... and if you want to watch it, Hulu's got it. (Louis Wu 16:51:02 UTC) (permalink) 
Wednesday Comic Update
Bunch of comic links for you today: I looked for the latest version of ODS Steve over at HMB's site... but it's not up yet, so that's it for today! (Louis Wu 16:01:40 UTC) (permalink)
