Average Joe: Anelf3
The Average Joe interview at Bungie.net this week is with Anelf3 - I last saw him at PAX 08, nice to catch up! (Louis Wu 22:23:17 UTC) (permalink)
Tuesday Vids from Bungie.net
Some videos that showed up in Bungie's Comm Chatter today:
- Out of Work Spartan Ep 4 - this is a fun series. Spartan Z06 is doing his best to show you how to make French Toast. Nice mix of live and videogame footage.
- Capture That Flag 3D shows you a flag cap with stereographic video - cross your eyes and check it out!
- Master Chief Theater 3000 Episode 404 covers the ODST Kizingo Boulevard cutscenes. (We forgot to mention this earlier today.)
- Betrayal is a Halo 3 Dualtage from FoMan123 and Hawkeye543, and has a lot of betrayals. (You'd never have guessed from the name, would you?)
Go watch! (Louis Wu 22:21:35 UTC) (permalink)
Hittin' on that crack pipe
pete_the_duck has decided to try and suss out what the first level of Halo: Reach looks like, based on the screenshots we've seen so far. It'll be a while before we know if he's right or not - but it's a pretty cool thought experiment in any case! (Louis Wu 15:18:53 UTC) (permalink)
Halo represented in BAFTA nominations
The annual BAFTA awards will be announced on March 19 - but nominations went live today. Halo 3: ODST is up for the Multiplayer award, and Halo Wars is up for the Strategy award. Nice! (Louis Wu 12:54:48 UTC) (permalink)
A call for help from an old friend
This isn't Halo-related, but HBO's always been a family, and sometimes family needs help. We got word from ICDedPpl (search our news if you don't remember him) that his fiancée, Aimee, has been diagnosed with a tumor inside her skull - you can read about it on his blog. There's a PayPal link up if you can spare anything, but prayers and emotional support are also gratefully accepted. Dan, and Aimee - we're pulling for you! (Louis Wu 12:54:01 UTC) (permalink)
Covering Your Six
XerxdeeJ let us know that Tied the Leader has awakened - they want to unite Halo gamers with an umbrella of gaming networks that never leaves you without playing partners. Go read 'Calling All Lone Wolves' - and get ready for Reach with Friends! (Louis Wu 12:53:29 UTC) (permalink)
Jun's Story
Air Force Hero whipped up another Reach wallpaper - this one is called 'Jun's Story'. Take a look! (Louis Wu 12:53:09 UTC) (permalink)
Bleepers, Episode 1
Treeskunk Productions has posted 'Bleepers, Episode 1' - take Crow's Nest cutscenes, add strategically-timed bleeps, and you get something that may or may not be funnier than the original. (Actually, how can you improve on 'To War.'?) Go watch, and decide for yourself.

WP talks to Marcus Lehto
Worth Playing has an interview with Marcus Lehto - it's amazing, but there's still MORE to ask (and be answered about) that hasn't been hit by the other 342 interviews in the past week! Marcus, my hat's off to you - the ability to talk to this many outlets and still find something different to say is a true skill. (Louis Wu 12:51:43 UTC) (permalink)
Taking video analysis to the next level
Eurogamer counted frames on the gameplay shown in the recent ViDoc, and drew some conclusions about both framerate and resolution. Time will tell if they're correct or not... (Louis Wu 12:51:09 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Legends Review
Jason MacIsaac, an editor with Electric Playground, watched Halo Legends, and wrote up his thoughts. Go read 'em.

Love is in the Air
It went up Sunday, but a poorly-timed server upgrade (utterly my fault) made it hard to reach for part of yesterday... so I'm announcing the latest episode of Halo Action Figure Theater today, instead. Bad wordplay deserves some maturation time, anyway. (Louis Wu 12:49:59 UTC) (permalink)
40k models, continued
Batou stopped back in with some older Warhammer-based Halo figures - he's been doing this for a while!

McFarlane 2010 Offerings
Toy Fair 2010 happened yesterday - and the news out of McFarlane is Reach-filled. GrimBrother One started the party with a link to Kotaku, but InnerRayg pointed out a lot more pics at Figures.com, and later came back with pics from Cool Toy Review. Go get your fill! (I gotta say, the VISR stuff looks weird.) (Louis Wu 12:48:41 UTC) (permalink)
