Einsteino... I know that guy!
Red vs Blue Recreation Chapter 10: Lay of the Land is now live for sponsors on the Rooster Teeth site. (It'll be live for everyone else in a couple of hours.) Simmons tries to be useful... but Lopez is the shining light of this one. The search team, on the other hand, is about to get into trouble. Maybe. Go watch! (Louis Wu 23:52:41 UTC) (permalink)
I'm on a 'ship!
A tad later than expected - but Bungie has posted an in-depth look at the third and final new Mythic map coming out with Halo 3: ODST next month. Designer Dan Miller, environment artist Jason Keith, and art director Justin Hayward chewed the fat with urk about Heretic, née Midship, and how it came to be part of this package. Have you been wondering about the rocking platform under the sword, and why it's no longer rocking? Wonder no more - they've explained the reasoning. Want to know if anything else is different? Go read. (Don't worry. They worked really hard to make sure your beloved map plays the way it did in Halo 2.) Some new high-res screenies, too. Go look! (Louis Wu 23:09:49 UTC) (permalink)

Monday Movie Madness
Lots of Halo vids up for your watching pleasure today, courtesy of the BungLog™:
- Halo 3 in the Work Place held another Fustoms Friday last week - and they've released the recap vid. Seems like they went heavy on the teabagging... but maybe they just spilled the jar or something. (I did that with the vanilla the last time I made a smoothie.)
- Frozen Sprite and Splatter Mac (with almost 22,000 splatters between them) put together 'Splatter Gods' - it's aptly named. Go watch a lot of people get mashed.
- Crazy Fish Productions put together another ninjatage - smack dat back!
- Stewie2552 whipped up his second Slatter Montage, set to some uplifting Beethoven. My favorite moment came at 2:22.
Hours (well, a couple of tens of minutes) of watching enjoyment! (Louis Wu 17:12:31 UTC) (permalink)
Monday Comic Roundup
Couple of comics to mention today:
- Bloogyo told us about a new ODZT poster to hold you over until the new Rat's Nest site is up
- TTL Demag0gue stopped in with word of Reclaimer 209 (Discordance) - seems like command might not be paying full attention...
Go read the funnies! (Louis Wu 15:16:12 UTC) (permalink)
Metroid Online Public Beta Release - Maridia
Seraphim let us know that the Metroid Online Map Team is back with a new map - this one's called Maridia, based on the area from Super Metroid. Check out how they did converting a 2d area to 3d! (Louis Wu 13:47:04 UTC) (permalink)

SOLILOQUY - a new mini-series
Jason Broussard sent word that Mindless Distortion, the creators of the Gray Team machinima series, is back with SOLILOQUY. This new mini-series features the voice talent of Kyle Hebert (following that link will show you quite a selection of anime and videogame voice work in the past couple of decades), among others, along with original music from Perimeter of the Void. You can view both the teaser for the mini-series (released a couple of weeks ago) as well as the pilot episode (released yesterday). Intriguing stuff! (Louis Wu 11:31:53 UTC) (permalink)
Great deal on Halo bundle in CA
Joystiq posted a tidbit about a discounted package available only in Canada - an Xbox 360 Elite, bundled with a network adaptor (normally about $100 CAD) and Halo 3 ($40 CAD) - all for $330 CAD. Swing by The Source (a Circuit CIty affiliate) to grab this. (Louis Wu 11:20:57 UTC) (permalink)
Watch the mustard!
Hawty McBloggy has highlighted another Halo cross-stitch creation - this one started life as a bad callout, and ended up as a pretty cool wall-hanging. Go check it out! (Louis Wu 11:07:50 UTC) (permalink)

ODST Roadshow Map
Dr. Nick stopped in to say that he'd taken the trouble to plot out the stops that the ODST truck is going to be making over the next month. It's one thing to see a list of names on a page - it's another thing entirely to see the route plotted out on a map. Might make it easier to see how close that truck is really coming to you...

Tidbits emerge from ODST Roadshow
2900d4u pointed out a thread from Bungie.net that includes a photo snapped inside the ODST truck, showing off a yellow-helmeted Dare playing Firefight. (Pic was snapped by Bungie's Max Dyckhoff, so take it up with them if this is considered a leak.) If you like that pic, Max took a whole bunch more.

ODST Roadshow Writeup
Devin Olsen showed up for the first day's festivities with the ODST truck - and was given some special treatment. Read his writeup - there's some pretty cool info mixed in there with all the gloating! (Louis Wu 09:32:22 UTC) (permalink)
With cardboard, we can rule the world.
The guy who made a ton of cardboard weapons for Halo 3 is back - this time with a diorama for giving his McFarlane figures a place to play. Fun stuff! Thanks, Kibbles. (Louis Wu 09:31:53 UTC) (permalink)
