Jub Jub Revisited
There's a fascinating writeup on Bungie.net right now - Steve Cotton looks back on the development process that brought Guardian into being. Give it a read to see where Guardian has been, and how it became what you play on today! (Louis Wu 21:58:23 UTC) (permalink)
Film Review - Halo Legends, Part 1
Alternative Magazine Online has a review of 'Halo Legends, Part 1' - pretty much all the episodes that have been shown in their entirety on Halo Waypoint. The second half is coming soon (I'd assume after February 16). (Louis Wu 20:41:29 UTC) (permalink)
First MLG Pro-Gaming Combine
If you're someone who believes you could be a Halo pro, if only there were a way to break into the big leagues, MLG's first Pro-Gaming Combine is for you. Amateurs who participate have a shot at the bright lights, big city. Check it out! (Louis Wu 20:39:47 UTC) (permalink)
MC in da Halo
Hyokin stumbled across MC in da Halo, a two and a half year old Flash animation created by Renegade-Hamster. If you've ever thought some of the aspects of the beginning of Halo 3 needed a bit of ridicule, you'll like this. (Louis Wu 20:35:08 UTC) (permalink)

Brighton stopped in with word of his work-in-progress ODST model he's been making - swing by DeviantART to see the latest version, or Zbrush Central to see images showing the progress.

Thursday Playlist Fun
FyreWulff pointed out that the Playlists page at Bungie.net has been updated - we've got info on playlists most of the way through February now. (Don't forget - this week's Double XP list is Maption Pack, loaded with community-built maps. It's unclear at this point whether they're updated versions or not - DEEP NNN let us know about a thread on the B.net forums discussing the list, where you can add your two cents about the playability.) Get on LIVE! (Louis Wu 20:18:39 UTC) (permalink)
IGN Top Kills of the Week - Feb 3
IGN has posted their latest Top 10 Halo 3 Kills video (this one is through February 3) - and I have to say, these made me laugh. Good stuff! (Louis Wu 19:31:02 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Legends, for free
Loot Ninja is giving away three copies of Halo Legends (on Blu-Ray) to folks who comment by February 7 (Sunday night). Go sign up! (Louis Wu 19:29:38 UTC) (permalink)
The Old and the New
A contemporary playwright has combined Halo 3 and Shakespeare with his play, 'When in Disgrace', on stage in Louisville, Kentucky later this month. (The play's not ABOUT Halo, or Shakespeare - but the opening scene contains both.) (Louis Wu 19:28:09 UTC) (permalink)
Cortana gets duped
Cybrfrk sent word that Jen Taylor, the voice of Cortana, had a co-starring role in last night's episode of Leverage, 'The Future Job'. (You can see details about the episode at TVRage.com, or wait a week and watch it on TNT.) Nice!

Two new montages got posted today:
- Alec944 combed through rendered videos on B.net tagged with the word 'Splatter' - watch players get smushed.
- Narcotic's first montage (edited by Muggsy, dedicated to Jeremy Michael Grant)is heavy on the saturation, all MLG gameplay.

Halcylon's Halo Poster Pack
mendicantbias noticed that Halcylon is offering wallpaper based on his really cool Halo-themed posters. Lots of resolutions, and links back to the original posters if you'd rather have one at a time! (The individual posters are also included in the Poster Pack download.) (Louis Wu 16:54:51 UTC) (permalink)
ONI Logo, EPS format
SK Crisis was kind enough to upload an EPS version of the ONI logo he'd created last week - if you'd like this for use in creating artwork, go to it! (Louis Wu 16:39:18 UTC) (permalink)
That guy needs a Nerf gun.
Hedgemony found a Plushie Chief! (Well, not really a plushie... it's more of a foam Chief. Still pretty danged cool!) (Louis Wu 16:38:17 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 - District 9
eckosama pointed out a very cool recreation of the District 9 trailer, created with Halo 3 and ODST clips. Really well-done!

We missed a Bungie.net Community Spotlight yesterday; Beast Mode On was the focus. The front-page article has an interview with the group, and the Bungie Favorites section is populated with some of their choicest files. Go see! (Louis Wu 16:35:31 UTC) (permalink)
