Where's my shotgun ammo?
Whoa. According to this story at Hawty McBloggy's place, you might want to stay indoors tomorrow... I'm heading out now to stock up on toilet paper and water. (Louis Wu 22:19:40 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Uncensored
I ran across this video recently... and wondered a little about the mind that might create such a thing. It's a tad inappropriate for a family website... but then, we're not really a family website. (Halo's M-rated, after all.) I asked my Arbiter of Taste, KP - and he gave it two thumbs up, so I'm linking to it. (I'm pretty sure that means he loses his AoT title.) Please - if you have a weak stomach, don't watch this. It's a vision of where Halo COULD have gone... if Bungie were more ghoulish. (It's actually pretty funny, once you get past the gore.)

Showing Sum Luv
I got a little tired of Rube Goldberg creations a ways back... but omfgcarnage has come up with a new twist that made me smile... a lot. I sort of wonder how many times it was filmed in order to nail that ending... thanks, urk. (Louis Wu 21:06:49 UTC) (permalink)
Another Comic on the Scene
Doesn't look like there are any regular comic updates today (I'd guess the holiday weekend has something to do with that), but Hawty McBloggy pointed out a site that contains an entire COLLECTION of Halo-related comics - Grin and Bear It. They kicked off in mid-March, so there are only about a dozen and a half comics there now - shouldn't take you too long to get through all of 'em! (Louis Wu 17:46:25 UTC) (permalink)
Aren't They ALL Art?
It's monday, so it's time for another Tag and Release feature on Bungie.net - this one looks for images with the tag 'Art'. MAN, Halo 3 lends itself nicely to gorgeous screens... (Louis Wu 17:42:55 UTC) (permalink)
The Ultimate B.U.N.G.L.E. Quiz
Alien Emperor continues his B.U.N.G.L.E.-honoring efforts - his latest project is The Ultimate B.U.N.G.L.E. Quiz. Swing by and see if you've got what it takes to ace this baby. (Louis Wu 16:58:12 UTC) (permalink)
Massive Movie Mayhem
A collection of new vids are highlighted on the BungLog™ today:
- Anoj continues with his Top 10 Halo 3 series - this episode focuses on MLG Kills. Anoj has had his wisdom teeth removed, so it's a commentary-less episode.
- Black Light Productions continues with the Phil series - Day 10 is the first round of the UXLT. Phil is faced off against Roger, of Clan Catch 'em all. Go see who wins!
- TM22 has edited a minitage for Anoj, called 'Scratch It Up' - lots of clutch plays.
Update: there's one more, a montage with gameplay from Fragtale and editing from Mattisson Design HD - if I were looking for taglines to put in a review, 'gripping' and 'spectacular' would be high on my list. Gameplay is fantastic, editing is GORGEOUS. (Louis Wu 16:56:17 UTC) (permalink)
A Sangheili's War - The PDF Version
Leviathan created a story/comic/graphic novelette called 'A Sangheili's War is Never Over' during a six-week span in May and June this year; he posted the pages, as they were finished, on our forum, and we've been keeping you apprised along the way. Well, he's gone back over the individual panels and cleaned up stuff he wasn't thrilled with, added a cover, a title page, and a two-page text story, and then wrapped the whole thing in a PDF bow. (Hey, Mig! There's a PDF!) Go grab a copy (11.3 mb) - it's a fantastic read! (Louis Wu 13:58:46 UTC) (permalink)
Vidmaster Challenge: Annual - a Guide
Declan Clarke, and the rest of the Spartan I Project at Bungie.net, have put together a guide to completing the Vidmaster Challenge: Annual Achievement in Halo 3. If you've been having trouble beating the last level of the game on Legendary, this guide can help you bypass the most difficult pitfalls of the level, efficiently traverse frustrating sections, and give you tips that you might not have known before. It is composed in the style of the Legendary/Mythic Guides here on HBO; there is a text component, but there are plenty of video supplements to show you visually where and how to complete specific tasks. The videos are watchable either on the page, streaming, or downloadable, in a couple of formats, if you want to have them near you while you're doing the run and your computer isn't near your Xbox. It's a great guide - give it a read! (Louis Wu 13:54:50 UTC) (permalink)
