Man of a Thousand Maps (well, a few, anyway)
This went live yesterday, but it's 10 minutes long, and it took until today to find the time to actually watch it: NOKYARD, known for his Grifball maps and his speedrunning, was interviewed by the Halo Waypoint team, letting him show off some of the maps he's built (Grifball and non-Grifball alike). You'll have to visit Halo Waypoint on Xbox LIVE to watch this - but it's pretty cool! (Louis Wu 19:15:41 UTC) (permalink)
Reachified
Bungie has updated their Reach Project page - new information revealed recently is now summarized for posterity. Swing by to read about Arena, Armor Abilities, and easy links to all the Reach trailers! (Louis Wu 19:11:46 UTC) (permalink)
ATF: Ur Doin it Wrong AGAIN!
AnTi PROx sent word that Arm The Flag is running a new contest - create a demotivational poster-style Halo 3 screenshot (Halo 3 or Halo 3: ODST), and you could win a 1600 point card. There are some rules - swing by their forum for full details. (Louis Wu 18:48:46 UTC) (permalink)
Ecko shirts - still at Hot Topic
Last summer, we mentioned some Halo t-shirts from Marc Ecko - they're all gone from the ShopEcko.com website, but according to xoools, who works at Hot Topic, a couple of them (Halo Babes and UNSC Sniper) are still available in those stores. Probably not a universal taste kind of thing... (Louis Wu 18:43:32 UTC) (permalink)
I was gonna skip to the end, but...
Omnicent is the subject of the latest 'Average Joe' interview at Bungie.net - go read which Halo games he liked, and why! (Along with plenty of other stuff about his life.) (Louis Wu 18:02:43 UTC) (permalink)
Tuesday Afternoon Vids
A foursome of new vids for you, courtesy of Bungie's Comm Chatter:
- LaCoz3 released The Fresh Feeling 2 - video quality could use some work, but there are some slick sticks in there.
- Mirific has created his last Halo 3 montage - editing is a tad overdone, mb.
- Another LaCoz3 montage - this one is called 'Shine', and features 100% MLG action. Same quality issues as the first LaCoz3 vid.
- Unidentified Failing Object 3 is a Halo 3 Funtage from Billdebeast - mostly it's clips of him doing good stuff, and his friends doing bad stuff. (I think Scapegoat413 should stay out of hogs on Avalanche...)
Go watch. (Louis Wu 17:59:58 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: ODTB
We missed this when it went live, on March 5 - but over at NeoGAF, squidhands pointed it out today: Virtual Shackles posted 'Halo: ODTB', introducing a new feature for Halo: Reach multiplayer. Just what we need! (Louis Wu 16:53:40 UTC) (permalink)
Tuesday Morning Artwork
Hedgemony has an interesting roundup of Halo creations he found on DeviantART today - sculpture, artwork, modded nerf guns. Go look! (Louis Wu 12:04:04 UTC) (permalink)
Wait... what?
So according to IGN, there's a new service out there - GameCrush says they'll hook you up with a girl gamer to play with online... for a fee. Four 360 games are included in the list of playables... and Halo 3 is one of those four. $8.25 buys you 6-10 minutes of 1v1 time. GameCrush apparently modeled its pricing structure on the cost of buying a girl a drink at a bar... I'm pretty curious to know if this model has any hope at all of surviving.

I need a... keyboard?
mattroe bought a Microsoft mouse and keyboard... and was amused by the use of Halo imagery on the PC products. I guess when you own an intellectual property, you might as well get it out there... (Louis Wu 11:28:20 UTC) (permalink)
Quiet and Flashy
Avateur noticed a Spartan Gundam at Kotaku - yes, it's custom-made. (Louis Wu 11:26:42 UTC) (permalink)
The thing on the left is the brake!
MattDratt is working on a HaloCE single player map - his AI is driving warthogs already. (Get off the road - NOW) (Louis Wu 11:23:43 UTC) (permalink)
