Fleshing Out Wire Frames
Wow, cool beans. Bungie's got a guy on staff doing mocap - and when he needs a prop weapon, he builds one. Well... the frame of one. Because it's mocap, and there's no need for the whole thing. (In fact, the whole thing gets in the way.) Very fun article at Bungie.net - go read it! (Louis Wu 21:49:45 UTC) (permalink)
June Double XP Playlists
Interested in seeing what's on tap during the month of June, in terms of Double XP Weekend playlists? FyreWulff's got your back. (Louis Wu 19:33:24 UTC) (permalink)
Things You Won't Expect
chris101b created a bunch of short video clips he calls 'Things You Won't Expect' during the Reach Beta - the first one went live on Monday. (It had been seen a number of times, in a number of montages, so I didn't bother to front-page it.) The second one is live now - it's received less exposure, so it may be new to you. He'll be releasing new ones every Monday and Wednesday, until he runs out. (Louis Wu 19:03:14 UTC) (permalink)
Community Spotlight: Owners of the Katana
The latest batch of Bungie Favorites has been submitted by Owners of the Katana, a bungie.net group for folks who've unlocked certain Halo 3 armor. Go read about their stuff, then download some of it! (Louis Wu 18:01:20 UTC) (permalink)
Wherefore Art Thou Video?
Just a pair of new videos in Bungie's Comm Chatter today: The Spartan 1 Project team has put together a full-blown trailer for their Annual Achievement services (funny stuff!), and Mini Waz created the Halo: Reach Beta Bash - it's another Reach montage. Go watch! (Louis Wu 17:59:44 UTC) (permalink)
Halo WP from HC's Smyf
If you're looking for a new Halo wallpaper, you might wanna swing by Smyf's gallery at DeviantART - lots and lots of cool choices. Thanks to urk for the heads-up! (Louis Wu 17:59:15 UTC) (permalink)
When Things Go Boom
The latest Chronicles of ODS Steve (#73) is now live at Hawty McBloggy's - I'm pretty sure you don't want to be standing next to a giant bomb when things go BOOM nearby. (Louis Wu 17:45:12 UTC) (permalink)
Operation Chastity BR
Pete Cooper stopped in with some very nice shots of the Battle Rifle they'll be using on the set of Operation Chastity. Love it! (Louis Wu 16:30:43 UTC) (permalink)
2o2p Community Pulse Ep 7 (with local guest)
Geez, nearly missed it... but DEEP NNN was a guest on the last 2old2play Community Pulse podcast, bringing honor to the OLD Halo crowd. Go listen! (Louis Wu 16:30:20 UTC) (permalink)
HMB's Mini Comm Chatter
Couple of fun vids at Hawty McBloggy's cozy digs today - Halo3Fails posted 'JK I Suck', a funny failtage showing footage that most of us have seen far too much of, firsthand... and Mini Waz created a 3D Halo: Reach trailer that has versions for most standard kinds of 3D glasses. (There's even a 2D version for folks without glasses, but it sort of misses the point...) Go watch! (Louis Wu 13:11:35 UTC) (permalink)
Nerf AR - now on eBay
Hey, remember that Nerf Assault Rifle we mentioned last week? It's up on eBay now. You've got 3 days to bid - current price is $81. Thanks, Civil Protection. (Louis Wu 13:10:54 UTC) (permalink)
We don't need no stupid monitor...
Urban Reflex laughs at your sissy Forge - when HE was building Halo walls, he did the MANLY way... with a sword. And a Gauss turret. There's an 8 minute video (it's been shaved down to less than 15% of its original length!) showing how. (Louis Wu 13:07:59 UTC) (permalink)
The Halo Evolutions Community Art Contest
Do you love Halo? Are you an artist? Would you like your art to appear in a Halo book? Halo Waypoint is taking submissions for the Halo Evolutions Community Art Contest, and will be until July 15. You have to be a resident of the US or Canada, and you should read the rest of the terms and conditions on the Waypoint page - but otherwise, you should get to drawing! (HBO will be hosting a gallery of entrants at some point in the near future, so you can see what folks are submitting.) Show 'em what you've got! (Louis Wu 00:00:05 UTC) (permalink)
