Tyrant's Summer Mythic Recon Challenge
Daniel 'Tyrant' Morris is at it again - complete the first of 10 challenges at Mythic Difficulty, win a shot at Recon armor. All the details can be found at Bungie.net - check the rules, and get to playing! (Louis Wu 21:06:24 UTC) (permalink)
The Prodigal
vociferous continues to delve deeply into Bungie's lore - his latest article looks at Halo 3: ODST in the context of what Bungie might have been striving towards for the past 7 years. Pretty interesting speculation! Go read The Prodigal. Thanks, urk. (Louis Wu 20:44:21 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Tourney to raise money for missing teen
HBO regular JeSteR 343 sent word of a tragic situation in Tennessee - Megan Maxwell, a teenager, disappeared without a trace a month ago. She was a member of JeSteR's church, and they're trying to raise money for the family to continue the search. They're organizing a Halo 3 tournament in July (more details coming soon), with entry fees going to the cause. If you know of anyone who might be able to contribute cool schwag for prizes (or just donate to the cause), you should contact JeSteR 343. Thanks! (Louis Wu 20:35:09 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Artwork Printing Service - a Review
A week and a half ago, Bungie mentioned the screenshot printing services offered by haloscreenshots.com. We've sampled the work, and have written up the experience, in the hopes that it will aid you in your decision-making. Take a look! (Louis Wu 19:26:23 UTC) (permalink)
Stab and Release
It's Monday, so Bungie.net has a new Tag and Release feature for you, showing off some cool images - the tag is 'Sword', and the images are very awesome. Go look! (Louis Wu 17:00:57 UTC) (permalink)
Flying Monkeys - or something
Couple of videos to enjoy, courtesy of B.net: Lagout is the start of a series in which several players get trapped in a game they can't quit, and Shenanigans 3 is the latest montage from ChrisOfTheDead, containing some truly bizarre events taken from matchmaking games. Go watch! (Louis Wu 16:59:19 UTC) (permalink)
MLG Columbus - the wrapup
Congrats to Str8 Rippin, who beat some impressive competition to take first place in the MLG Columbus event. Full results can be found on this page. The videos aren't available on the VoD page yet - but they probably will be soon. (You can find some footage on the ESPN Saturday Night page.) (Louis Wu 14:55:45 UTC) (permalink)
GAPT Returns
Some old-timers might remember Grunts are People Too!!, a machinima series from a few years back (2004-5). Its creator, Motherstooth, is back with a new blog - go see what he's up to, Halo-wise! (Louis Wu 14:38:07 UTC) (permalink)
96 Panoramas
Decadence Night has gathered up all of his Halo 3 panoramas, and posted them at DeviantART. Some you've seen before, some you haven't - there are 96 in total. Go check 'em out! (Louis Wu 14:34:03 UTC) (permalink)
Not sure I'd call that a 'microtransaction'...
DHalo noticed that some new Halo-related accessories will be available for your Xbox LIVE avatar - but they won't be cheap. (The Warthog, for example, is 320 MS Points - $4 US.) Hmmm, indeed. (Louis Wu 14:32:10 UTC) (permalink)
Monday Comic Roundup
Just a few comics for you this morning:
- Bloogyo let us know about Rat's Nest 17 5 (and reminded people to hit the 'previous' button a few times for missed eps).
- N. Rackley sent word that his webcomic, Lakewood, is Halo-related today in honor of the episode number (117). Heh.
- TTL Demag0gue stopped in with word of Reclaimer 193 (Recollection) - Ferial's virus is not a pretty thing.
Coffee and comics... mmmm... (Louis Wu 14:21:18 UTC) (permalink)
