The Federal Army of Chorus
Even though they were all crazy-busy with RTX this weekend, Rooster Teeth still posted Episode 9 of Red vs Blue Season 12 on Monday. The entire Chorus conflict is reframed for Agent Washington and his crew... things to chew on. It's a long 'un... almost 15 minutes. Go watch, so you're ready for Episode 10!

Loading Screen Easter Egg from Halo 3
Lord Zedd found a new easter egg in Halo 3 - he found it in the code, but it's repeatable by anyone who wants to try it. (I just did.) If you load up Halo 3 when your Xbox is set to December 25 (you'll have to be disconnected from Xbox Live if you don't want to wait 6 months), start up a new campaign mission, and then hold in both thumbsticks, you'll see the building of the Halo ring from a further viewpoint. (You can jump back and forth during the loading, and the zoom will track you.) There might even be more to this - but I'm not positive. The first time I tried this, the loading took a while... and it SEEMED I could read some text on the outside of the Halo as it built itself. (I didn't notice this until it was almost finished.) Repeated attempts were unsuccessful, because the loading time was much shorter after the first one, and any text that was created was blurred by the creation process. (It's even possible I was imagining things.) Either way, cool find, and amazing it remained a mystery for 7 years! Thanks, gamerguy2002. Update: Lord Zedd took the info above and loaded the animation from disc (as I did, that first run-through), which slowed it down enough to read the "Happy Birthday, Lauren!" written on the outside of the Halo. That's the REAL Easter Egg! Very cool. (Louis Wu 18:23:55 UTC) (permalink)

You got Halo in my Political Protest!
So both DeGrouch, on our forum, and Richard Beer, via email, let us know about a new video from Greenpeace... but for different reasons. DeGrouch pointed out that the Master Chief makes an appearance, 11 seconds in. Richard Beer felt that the entire thing was inspired by the Halo 3 Believe diorama. Either way, watching it will give you a sense for why Greenpeace wants you to convince LEGO to break off their partnership with Shell Oil. (No, that part's not Halo-related.)

Temporary Link Established.
If you swing by the Halo Universe forum at Halo Waypoint, you'll meet 'Catalog', a data source with some interesting information. (If you're not up for scrolling through the full 20-page thread, you can see a lot of the recent stuff by looking at Catalog's last 10 posts.) Thanks to CINCL for pointing out this info!
