The Execution
urk pointed out 'The Execution', a Halo 3 machinima based on the short story 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge'. Filming's good, story's nicely put together. Go watch it on YouTube! (Louis Wu 22:10:40 UTC) (permalink)
Stories you shouldn't believe
Cracked.com put together a collection of fake news stories that fooled the media - number 7 on the list is the 13 year old kid who hired hookers to play Halo with him. (We posted it, without checking, back in May 2008.) Some of the other stories are hilarious. Thanks to Alekat for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 19:57:42 UTC) (permalink)
Better question: where did her clothes come from?
Looseneck wrote to point out a relatively new Coca Cola Zero ad - the extraction team is carrying weapons that look distinctly Halo-like. (You can see a shot here.) Hmm... Update: image link fixed. (Louis Wu 19:30:10 UTC) (permalink)
Tag and Release: Laser
The latest Tag and Release feature that Bungie's put together looks at shots marked with the term 'Laser'. And dang they found some pretty ones! Go look for yourself, and see if you can find others that are better. (Louis Wu 19:20:48 UTC) (permalink)
1000 runs in less than a week
HaloCharts received a boatload of submissions for their most recent Campaign Challenge - swing by Bungie.net for all the numbers. Don't stop killing Covenant! (Louis Wu 19:17:21 UTC) (permalink)
Casting Halo
Hawty McBloggy let us know that there's a new discussion going on her website, courtesy of RandomSauce - they want to know who you'd cast in the Halo movie, if it ever gets made. (This sort of discussion has happened in many places around the net already - including our own forum, more than once - but the presentation here is nice, and we've got more data now than we had the last time this came around.) Go contribute! (Louis Wu 15:00:41 UTC) (permalink)
Monday Comic Roundup
Only a couple of new comics that we know of - Bloogyo released Rat's Nest Episode 12 1, and TTL Demag0gue is back with Reclaimer 181 (Sideways Retreat). If you missed the last couple of Reclaimer Guest strips, Episode 7 is here (from HolyJunkie), and Episode 8 is here (a second from xSOB a DooBy). In comic-RELATED news, it seems that Reclaimer has been used in a Graphic Novel course at Temple University. Neat!

Intergalactic Balloons
nomis78 put together a video from Halo 3 cutscenes and Nena's '99 Red Balloons' - it works surprisingly well. Check it out!

Taunting Kills in Waverly Hills
Duncan was the first to notice that in last night's episode of The Simpsons, Homer was playing Halo... and teabagging his opponent. You can watch it for yourself at Hulu.com. (Mirel grabbed a few screens, as well.)
