ODST ZBrush Character Model
Brighton rendered a turntable of his ODST model created with ZBrush; pretty cool! (It's still a work in progress; he's got more slickness to add.) Tell him what you think on our forum. (Louis Wu 20:43:40 UTC) (permalink)
Surprisers Mile
Ooh, almost missed this at Bungie.net - it's a story about an obstacle course being hosted by HaloCharts. Prizes include a 12 Month LIVE card, Halo Legends, and McFarlane action figures. Go read about it! (Louis Wu 19:45:12 UTC) (permalink)
Escape to the Movies: Halo Legends
The Escapist posted a video review of Halo Legends - go watch to see what Movie Bob thought. Thanks, Speedhuntr. (Louis Wu 19:13:04 UTC) (permalink)
GDC Fireside Chat
Looks like Geoff Keighley will be hosting a fireside chat for GamesBeat - the topic will be "How to Build a Blockbuster Franchise", and one of the two guests is Joe Staten, Bungie's design director. This will take place on March 10, in San Francisco, during the Games Development Conference. Sounds intriguing! (Louis Wu 18:05:36 UTC) (permalink)
Friday Vids
Couple of videos for your watching pleasure in B.net's Comm Chatter today:
- Carpe Diem is a montage from Snowmann and Alien - heavy on the editing, but not to the point that the gameplay is unwatchable. (Some very nice effects.)
- Halography is a screenshot montage in high def - five minutes of great shots, at 1080p if your computer can handle it.
HaloCharts Favorites are back, baby!

Life can be fragile
Logan Starline, known to the Halo community at large as BerserkerBarage, died yesterday from complications resulting from an infection. He was 27 years old. That's simply too young to go. He's been around the Halo scene (and has been a Bungie fan in general) for quite some time - you can read an 'Average Joe' interview urk did with him last fall, and you can check out his video walkthrough of Marathon 2: Durandal. If you'd like to pay your respects, his good friend Achilles1108 has set up a forum thread at Bungie.net. (ElusiveEagle519 posted the news on our forum, as well.) I'm at a loss for words; he was a nice guy I'd met once and played with online a few times, and I NEVER expected to be writing words like these about him at this stage. Rest in peace, my friend.
