Halo Scale Comparison - Revisited, AGAIN
Stephen Loftus wasn't content with his existing scale charts - he went back into the games and measured a whole bunch of new items and objects for his Halo Scale Comparison. The layout for the cascading images has been permanently changed to 1280x720 (he started using this format for his recent overhaul for the Halo Waypoint pages, and stuck with it because it allows more horizontal room for height comparisons). You can navigate the full set of images by starting on the largest items, and drilling down. (Changes begin around the Forerunner Dreadnaught scale.) Some surprises await you!

Will he deliver it in a Grunt voice?
Wow, nice - looks like Bungie is a headliner at this year's Game Developers Conference Online - Joseph Staten will be giving a speech entitled '10 Years Of Halo Storytelling... And Beyond' at the Austin conference, which kicks off on October 5th. Thanks, Tashi0106. (Louis Wu 18:04:24 UTC) (permalink)
Moving To Reach, part 1
Red vs Blue has posted Episode 1 of a new miniseries - it's a piece of the 3-part video they whipped up for GameStop's Halofest. (It's not yet up on the GameStop page.) (Louis Wu 17:08:05 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3: ODST Mythic Guide: NMPD HQ
Daniel 'The Tyrant' Morris continues to muscle his way through ODST on Mythic Difficulty - his guide for NMPD HQ is now live. Succinct text, a couple of fun videos... go read his tips, then beat it yourself! (Louis Wu 15:23:41 UTC) (permalink)
Arby, The Chief, and OLR
Managed to miss a whole bunch of JonCJG videos in the last couple of weeks - if you watch One Life Remaining or Arby 'n' the Chief, you've got some stuff to keep you entertained!
- One Life Remaining S2 Episode 5 has Peter joining Chad at school, and Anthony getting new responsibilities at Bad Games.
- One Life Remaining S2 Episode 6 has those responsibilities causing Anthony trouble, and Peter meeting an old nemesis.
- Arby 'n' the Chief S4 Ep 2 ("It's a Beta!") has Arby trying to provide feedback on the Reach Beta... in difficult times.
- Arby 'n' the Chief S4 Ep 3 ("Pirates") is a little different; it was put together as portfolio content for admission to a film production program. Pretty funny!
There, now you're caught up. (Louis Wu 14:16:22 UTC) (permalink)
Theater Mode + Image Enhancement = Beautiful
Tony at Green117 Designs sent word of some photoshopped images he's created using Halo 3 and the Reach Beta. Some gorgeous work here! The pixel dimensions are large enough that these can be printed as posters. Go look! (Louis Wu 12:58:45 UTC) (permalink)
Stay Classless, Bungie
mattroe noticed an article at Kotaku AU discussing Armor Abilities, and how they differ from 'classes' in other shooters. I'm not sure I follow... you can join in the discussion on our forum. (Louis Wu 12:58:14 UTC) (permalink)
Do Something Noble
Boxer whipped up a pretty cool recruitment poster for Noble Team - and then provided a copy that's printable. Go look! (Louis Wu 12:56:06 UTC) (permalink)
Forge World objects in SketchUp
Overdoziz built up a set of pieces that match the Forge World objects we know about - for SketchUp. You can't phase 'em - but you can certainly get started on planning! Update: sorry, misread - Overdoziz just found this, didn't make it himself. (Louis Wu 12:55:26 UTC) (permalink)
