Backwards From Dawn, Part 1
Forward Unto Dawn has begun posting a 3-part retrospective on Halo 2 - Part 1 is up now. Go check out 'I Hardly Knew Thee...' - this segment was written by Dani, who didn't play Halo 2 when it was in its heyday. How does the game stand up without the benefit of nostalgia? Go read and find out! Part 2 coming tomorrow. (Louis Wu 22:25:17 UTC) (permalink)
Awesome Xbox Up For Auction
Max pointed out a really cool Weta-created Xbox being auctioned off right now (proceeds to go to charity). Go by and look - bids started at a dollar yesterday, but it's already up over $520 AU (about $481 US), with four days left to run. Gorgeous! (Louis Wu 22:21:02 UTC) (permalink)

Monday Movie Madness
It must be Monday - there are a LOT of videos for your enjoyment. (I'm including one from last Friday, that I managed to miss.)
- Arby 'n' The Chief in LA Episode 10 (Alone) actually went online on April 9, but Bungie didn't post it until the 16th - and we managed to miss it even then. Poor Arby and Sonic!
- Critical Flaw Ep 9: Halo out of Reach is a pretty funny episode of a live-action series involving a pair of roommates - this time around, they kidnap a Bungie employee in an attempt to learn more about Reach.
- MetaWaddleDee created Fronk - a map that requires a particular placement to see a familiar character. Great work!
- Mike and Cheese are back with a Reach Beta multiplayer modes preview - if you have questions about some of the gametypes revealed recently, you might get some answers here.
- A poorly-thought-out question from Geoff Keighley has been turned into a video single... I was gonna pass on this when I saw it earlier this morning, but as part of a roundup, I guess it's okay. Hey - it's only 45 seconds. How much of your time can I waste?
Watch, watch, and watch some more. (Louis Wu 17:38:00 UTC) (permalink)
Most Creative Use of a Crate Contest
Halo 3 Screenshots wants to give you stuff - just enter the 'Most Creative Use of a Crate Contest'! That's right - use a crate creatively in Forge, snap a screen, and you could win a copy of Red vs Blue Reconstruction, or the DK Halo Encyclopedia. What a long way we've come from STC!

All Boneyard, All the Time
rowboat went through the GTTV footage, removed all the interview stuff (and clips from older videos), and put the remaining (Boneyard-specific) footage together with some rousing Halo music. The result is a 5-minute Boneyard trailer - awesome! (Louis Wu 15:21:35 UTC) (permalink)
Who Dat?
Heh - someone's selling a custom-painted McFarlane Halo figure, inspired by a real-life suit of Spartan Armor seen at the games of the New Orleans Saints this year. NIce! Thanks, rolandk73. (Louis Wu 15:21:04 UTC) (permalink)
Japanese Halo Fan Art
AssaultGodzilla visited a Japanese forum with a bunch of Halo artwork - not a trivial task for folks who can't read Kanji! He collected a few dozen of his favorite pics - you can see them in his forum post, or in our local mirror (if you have trouble with his image host). As he says - enjoy, but do NOT steal.

Blow Me Away
AssaultGodzilla has whipped up a new Halo music video - this one uses footage from Halo Legends, set to Breaking Benjamin's Blow Me Away. Very nicely done imagery! (Louis Wu 15:18:15 UTC) (permalink)
