Hedge's Week of Halo Love, Part Wed
More beautiful pics from Hedgemony - that first one simply ROCKS. Reach, Halo 3, ODST - they're ALL gorgeous. (Louis Wu 22:36:10 UTC) (permalink)
Catch Me If You Can
Avateur and CrazedOne1988 went into Matchmaking in a full party, and ended up on opposite teams most of the evening. The resultant Spy vs Spy meetings are chronicled in the Catch Me If You Can montage. (Pro tip: Avateur's in the flaming helmet.) (Louis Wu 22:33:08 UTC) (permalink)
Don't Bug Anybody.
Gamepro has an interview with Rooster Teeth as part of Halo's 10th Anniversary celebration - swing by and read what Burnie (mostly), Gus, and Geoff have to say about Red vs Blue, how they met Bungie, and more! (Louis Wu 21:43:38 UTC) (permalink)
Hitmon's Video Hoedown
Y'ant some video lovin'? I got whatcha need:
- Here's your "Top 10" fix with the "Top 10 Amazing Kills" from Anoj. That guy could pluck a golden egg from a rhino's rear end, I tell you what!
- TheMightyPnut has one of them Halo 3 failtages called "LLLL." Looks like someone got into my liquor cabinet.
- Now kids, I might be a belligerent drunk (just ask my wife), but I don't advocate the use of alcohol if ya ain't old enough. With that said, go watch some crazy kids play that video machine while drunker than a stumblin' skunk.
Now grab you a drink, and go have yerselves a good ol' time. Tell 'em Hitmon sent ya! (I'm going to pay dearly for this.) (Hitmonchan 20:58:26 UTC) (permalink)
Achievement HORSE #30
Achievement Hunter's Achievement HORSE #30 is live now - Geoff is NOT excited. Some great maps this time around, though - love the last one! Swing by and watch. (Louis Wu 20:54:43 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: The New Trilogy
MaxRealflugel let us know he's written up a new article for The Secrets Within - it's some pretty out-there speculation about the upcoming Halo trilogy from 343 Industries. See if he's been hitting the crack pipe too hard or not! (Louis Wu 20:39:16 UTC) (permalink)
High Speed Halo Pre-Bungie Day celebration
NOKYARD let us know that High Speed Halo is celebrating the run-up to Bungie Day with a pair of new speed run records each day. Today's offerings: RC Master aces New Alexandria on Legendary in less than ten and a half minutes... and GewehrM48 and GevarM96 take on a new Achievement Run called 'Short Night of Solace' (description for the Achievement is here) and blow through it in less than 4 minutes. Insanity. Go watch. (Louis Wu 18:30:38 UTC) (permalink)
Wishful Thinking
Avcracy stopped in with word of 'Wishful Thinking', a machinima of a Falcon crash. (Louis Wu 18:28:45 UTC) (permalink)
Second Greg Bear 'Forerunner' Novel to Drop in 2012
I figured this deserved a separate news piece: In the "Glasslands" press release, Tor Books said the second chapter in Greg Bear's "Forerunner Saga" won't be available until 2012. That gives me plenty of time to catch up. (I'm four books behind. Stupid college.) (Hitmonchan 15:36:04 UTC) (permalink)
'Glasslands' Cover Art Revealed
If news of a title update wasn't enough to sate your Halo news appetite today, Tor Books revealed the tentative cover art for "Halo: Glasslands," the first of a new trilogy from Karen Traviss. "Glasslands" will continue the events and character storylines of Eric Nylund's "Ghosts of Onyx." Both the book and the unabridged audiobook will release on Oct. 25. NeoGAF's Homeboyd was the first to mention this. Go look! And once you do, stop by ElzarTheBam's forum thread and tell us what you think! (Hitmonchan 15:19:13 UTC) (permalink)
Signature
Greenskull sent word of a new miniskit - 'Signature' is just 30 seconds. Which means no matter HOW badly the punchline makes you groan, it's over in half a minute. Go watch. (Louis Wu 14:30:17 UTC) (permalink)
Halo PC - screenshotted
Bry dug up a TON of Halo PC campaign screenshots he'd taken back in the day - nice collection! (Louis Wu 14:28:25 UTC) (permalink)
Ballads of Reach
Timgie let us know that he's released Ballads of Reach, a Halo music vid in the style of HMV Hell - and I'd say it's pretty entertaining! Go check it out. (Louis Wu 14:27:10 UTC) (permalink)
20 Questions: TTL Askan
CE United's Willy sat down with TTL Askan, a Gunslinger and a Bungie contract worker. His site has the interview online. It's a little hard to read (every question and answer is on a separate page, with no links between them), but it's a pretty interesting piece nonetheless. Check out a guy who's living the dream a lot of Halo fans would love to live (working for their favorite gaming company)! Update: Leviathan pointed out that I'm pretty unobservant; the entire interview is on one page, the only time you go to individual pages for each question is if you actually click the links at the top of the interview page. Just scroll down, and you can read everything in order. (Louis Wu 14:24:42 UTC) (permalink)
The Power of Many
Postmortem wrote up an article called 'We Are Connected' - it's all about the power of the Halo community. Go give it a read! (Louis Wu 14:19:51 UTC) (permalink)
Title Updates, Auctions, and Rainbows
The latest Halo Bulletin has been posted over at Halo Waypoint - and it discusses some upcoming changes to Reach that will be enacted in time for the release of Halo: Anniversary. (Our forum is full of griping about this - complaints about information being removed, complaints about maps that won't be ported, complaints about - eh, whatever. If you're tired of complaints, stay off our forum, I guess. If you're excited about the possibilities, though - we'd love to hear about it!) You can, as always, read this bulletin in our Halo Bulletin Archive - no reloading to see the bottom of the page. (Louis Wu 00:29:11 UTC) (permalink)
