Writing in Video Games panel summary
In my rabid excitement about the Halo Universe panel, I forgot about the second panel that happened today: Writing in Video Games. Thankfully, GameSpot's mind is sharper and less prone to Halo hype. Check out the site's summary of the panel, which included Frank O'Connor, Greg Bear and Karen Traviss. (Hitmonchan 20:25:35 UTC) (permalink)
'Anniversary' Terminal panel footage
Looks like someone doesn't play by the rules. Darkmacintosh filmed the Terminal footage from the Halo Universe panel and posted it online. Thanks, Hypertrooper, for letting me know, and thanks to Gabotron ES for the initial find! Update: It looks like Speedymanic from GAF found it first. I didn't know there was a new thread made over there. Thanks for clarifying, Hypertrooper! (Hitmonchan 19:53:18 UTC) (permalink)

Third Person Mythic - Nightfall (Solo)
The Tyrant has kicked off yet ANOTHER series of Mythic vids - this one is called 'Third Person Mythic', and its goal is to let you see Tyrant's Mythic gameplay from a third-person viewpoint - so that you can tell what weapon he's using, and how his shields look as he progresses. New commentary is included. The first installment is the easiest level to run Mythic - Nightfall. Go watch! (Louis Wu 18:45:52 UTC) (permalink)
The blood on the helmet sells it.
Rooster Teeth's Ubergirl loves Red vs Blue's Agent Maine (otherwise known as The Meta). So much so, she's whipped up some artwork - it's really, really good. Go look. (If you're not used to RT journals, click the pic for a larger version.) (Louis Wu 18:42:13 UTC) (permalink)
PGCR: Best Of Episode 2
Robowski let us know that the Post Game Carnage Report has released a Best Of episode - filled with all sorts of shenaniganry. This can give you an overall idea of how these generally work, if you haven't partaken before. As always, NSFW.

Resurrecting the dead
For those of you who don't know, the movie adaptation of Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" came crumbling down earlier this week. In light of this, indieWIRE devised a list of dead projects it wants resurrected from the pre-production graveyard, and "Halo" made the cut. Peter Jackson, after you return from The Shire, please give us a meaty live-action "Halo" flick. A boy can dream, right?
