Spartans vs Beanies Episode 3... through 37.
urk's posted a link to another episode of Spartans vs Beanies - Episode 3 is 'Freedom or Something More?' Don't worry, this one is no less silly than the first two, and again has a nuke. If you don't want your episodes meted out to you in dribs and drabs... you can watch all 37 episodes here. (Louis Wu 16:28:22 UTC) (permalink)
Summer Mythic Recon Challenge IX: The Ark
He's running later and later (give him a break, real work is real work!), but Tyrant has put up a note on Bungie.net about the last leg of the Summer Mythic Recon Challenge - the Ark. It's definitely the hardest level on Mythic difficulty - but don't worry, he's provided you with a set of resources that should help a bit. Go read the post, then get to shooting - you've got until Friday! (Louis Wu 16:21:59 UTC) (permalink)
That movie? Still on hold.
Kotaku got word from a Microsoft spokesperson that despite the rumors of a Spielberg-produced, Beattie-written Halo project, the Halo Movie project "remains on hold as [they] focus on projects like Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach." (Louis Wu 13:32:33 UTC) (permalink)

Question Reality Trailer
Lando Griff1n let us know about a new trailer from Hazmat v2 - it's for an upcoming montage called 'Question Reality'. It's quite short (under 90 seconds), but it's LOADED with special effects. (Way more effects than gameplay, in fact.) Swing by Halo3montage.com to stream or download.

Red vs Blue Recreation Chapter 8: Directions went live last night. Grif, Sarge, and Caboose are in a minefield... Simmons manages to offend Lopez. Looks like everyone's in trouble. (Grif's gonna have some explainin' to do if they get out of this...) (Louis Wu 13:12:17 UTC) (permalink)
