Blow out some candles tonight
As many have realized, today is the 10th anniversary of the revelation of Halo at MacWorld 1999 - what a long, strange trip it's been! Update: great retrospective from Bungie themselves - awesome old screenshots, exciting text, and a composite vid combining footage from boatloads of old sources. I've got chills. Thanks, urk!

Compelling Characters, Breathtaking Scenarios
Frogwart noticed a new posting put up today on the writer job site, Poewar - Microsoft is looking for a Senior Writer for their Halo team. Could this be you? (Louis Wu 21:54:03 UTC) (permalink)
Tilou H3M3
Futur Life stopped in with word of a French HD montage featuring editing by Heimdall and gameplay by Tilou. Seven and a half minutes. Swing by MLGPro.com's Game Room to watch. If you like what you see, you can talk to Futur Life about your own. (Louis Wu 21:48:13 UTC) (permalink)
Weta's Halo products on display in SD
Weta's ramping up its Halo offerings - the Cortana statue we heard about last year is now shipping, and three new helmets - Mark VI Spartan (green), EVA (white), and CQB (silver) will be shipping later this year. (Folks at Comic-Con this week will be able to see these live.) The new helmets are 1/4 scale, cost roughly $65 US, and are in REALLY limited supply (300 of each are being made). Go see 'em!

One Life Remaining: Season 1 Episode 1
JonCGJ released a trailer for a new machinima series a couple of weeks ago - but we didn't hear about it until this morning, when urk posted a link to the first episode of the series on Bungie.net. Anthony Heitzmann graduates high school... I guess teenage angst isn't one of of the things that gets solved between now and the 26th century. (Louis Wu 16:32:17 UTC) (permalink)
Reaching High 2
The Bungie Blog highlighted a new Halo 3 Trick Jumping montage - it's only 3 minutes long, but contains some very nicely-timed jumps. Go watch! (Louis Wu 16:21:38 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Wars Historic Battles Writeups appear
Halo Wars' latest DLC drops today - and both ComputerandVideoGames and TeamXbox have writeups, images, and (in TXB's case) video. Thanks, 2900d4u. (Louis Wu 16:04:52 UTC) (permalink)
RvB PSA: Fire Safety
Last night was a standard release night for a Red vs Blue video - but because it was the fifth week of the new series, we got a PSA instead of a standard episode of Recreation. Fire Safety gives you lots of tips for extinguishing fires - if you're currently on fire, go watch it! (Louis Wu 11:35:59 UTC) (permalink)
Lead-lined, filled with concrete
Over at HawtyMcBloggy.com, a new issue of The Katonian Press details what happened recently when a Blue soldier attempted to steal the Red flag. I don't remember most of my games going this way... but hey, it's the Press, it MUST be accurate. (Louis Wu 11:31:38 UTC) (permalink)
