MVAA Forums Newsletter, Vol. 1, Issue 1
ODST Sarge dropped in to announce the first newsletter of the Machinima Voice Acting Association - it's a 750k PDF file, available from their forums. It contains machinima reviews and interviews with folks making machinima (or machinima accessories), along with general gaming news and industry speculation. Check it out!

Halo Graphic Novel Review
The online magazine Suit101.com has published a review of the Halo Graphic Novel (the one released in 2006 - yeah, they're jumping in a little late); they weren't really happy with it. Their impression: this book will appeal to hard-core Halo fans, but not to anyone not immersed in the videogame's lore. Give it a read, see if you agree! (Louis Wu 16:20:56 UTC) (permalink)
Blue Dawn
Leviathan and UNSC Trooper have teamed up again for more artistic storytelling - this time, it's called 'Blue Dawn', and it deals with the origins of the UNSC. Nice work! (Louis Wu 14:42:36 UTC) (permalink)
Avatar's tech - pretty Halo-like
A few days ago, Azrael pointed out some new concept art from James Cameron's latest project, 'Avatar' - and the flying craft definitely bears a resemblance to Halo's Hornet. (The mech also bears a passing resemblance to Halo Wars' Cyclops, but that's a little more tenuous.) I didn't post this because life was crazy, and because sci-fi is sci-fi, right? More and more people are pointing it out, though, both via email and on our forum, so I guess I should acknowledge it. See what you think! (Louis Wu 14:38:14 UTC) (permalink)
Recon - and a very cool print... just for you!
Bungie is running a special screenshot contest this weekend - not only do you have a shot at winning Recon armor, but you can win a printed version of your shot from the new Haloscreenshots.com service. Read all the details in the Bungie.net post - and get cracking! You've only got until midnight Sunday (PST). (Pay attention to the rules! Bungie's gonna get so many submissions that any excuse they have to toss your entry will be appreciated by the voters - don't give 'em one.) (Louis Wu 00:52:02 UTC) (permalink)
The Legend of Halo: Quest for Recon
CrazedOne1988 posted three links showing off his nearly half-hour-long mashup of Nintendo's Legend of Zelda and Bungie's Halo 3 - if you played a lot of Zelda when you were younger, this will bring back memories!

Halo: Reach?
A very astute Bungie.net denizen pointed out a new forum at Bungie.net - devoted to a game called 'Halo: Reach', apparently. His post (and the new forum) were removed posthaste... but in these days of Google caches, it's hard to make ANYTHING go ALL the way away. Cocopjojo pointed out that the cached version of the deleted post is here - and a screenshot (assuming it wasn't faked) showing the new forum is here. More speculation can be found in our forum...

Grind Rider: The Preview
z0mbyjr pointed out that Grind Rider: The Preview was posted last month. (Last we heard about this machinima, it was summer 2008 - and THAT was 5 months after the time before.) Check it out - decide for yourself how Just Another Fan is doing!

ODST Speculation Runs Wild
Halopedia's CaptainTony was the first to notice that the a cast photo for Halo 3: ODST was visible on the set of the GameTrailers TV vid (shown Thursday night) - and the first to point out another pic that showed the last ODST off to the left. (Kotaku picked up on this on Saturday evening, almost 36 hours later... but they were just grabbing the pretty shot from Geoff Keighley's Twitter feed.) Interesting speculation in the thread about who's who... I'm guessing we'll know more, for sure, this week! (Louis Wu 00:29:45 UTC) (permalink)
Arby 'n' the Chief S3E13
Fragclone noticed that Arby 'n' the Chief S3E13 is now up on YouTube. Commentary on machinima fanbois, and machinima in general. Long. (18 minutes long.) (Louis Wu 00:29:09 UTC) (permalink)
