And the Trogdor Comes in the Night
cbwilliams17 stopped in with word of 'Trogdor - The Burninator' - a tribute to the classic Strongbad tune. (Louis Wu 20:26:34 UTC) (permalink)
High Charity - Emerald Part 1 of 4
Nabsuh has announced High Charity, the first of a four-part machinima miniseries called 'Emerald' from AVCOM Productions. A mix of in-game footage and generated CG, this looks to have great effects, solid voice acting and some nice camera work. Check it out! (Louis Wu 17:01:14 UTC) (permalink)
Dont Hate The Dino
John_117 put together a short video which does a good job of explaining why Elites should be banned from matchmaking. (No, it's not what you think. Really.) (Louis Wu 13:50:59 UTC) (permalink)
The Power Hour Episode #3: Halo
A couple of days ago, cEe let us know about Power Hour, a video blog from Super Baldilox HD - Episode 3 (where he's joined with Doctor D) reviews Halo 3. It's a pretty solid look back at this influential game - I probably could have done without the teabag montage, and maybe the Christian Bale meltdown, but if you're looking for a video blog that reviews games, you might wanna check this out!

HaloScreenshots - another look
Escapist Magazine put up a short review of the HaloScreenshots printing service (because of a blog post they found at Offworld, who in turn found it on another blog - I guess word is getting around) - if you haven't made up your mind about these pics, give this a read.

Good Game, World. Good Game.
Tonight's Bungie Weekly Update is devoted, for the most part, to a recap of the Bungie vs the World shenanigans that took place on Tuesday - Bungie Day 2009. The studio gave out over 1000 sets of Recon armor to lucky players - which really isn't that much, considering that over 7 million player-games ticked over in that 24 hour period, but is a BOATLOAD, considering that a few months ago, the total number of Recon-sporters in the WORLD was just over 500. Nice going, World! The writeup is a fun read, and also contains a recap of some other goodies that were made public during the week, and a summary of some of the funniest messages sent by unhappy fans. Go read! (You can, as always, read it here, in our Weekly Update Archive, if that makes you happier.) (Louis Wu 01:11:00 UTC) (permalink)
42 without having to wait 10 million years
DOH! I totally managed to miss the 'Broken In' article with Vic DeLeon posted on Thursday afternoon - it's a great read with the Senior Environment Artist, a fantastic look back at a pretty long career and some inside information on a pretty funny incident during the creation of Halo 2. The man's got a lot to say about the gaming industry, and about how awesome it is to work for Bungie. Go read it! (Louis Wu 00:30:24 UTC) (permalink)
