Arbiter Yesterday, we added a larger-than-the-contest-thumb version of Bryn Casey's beautiful 'The Guardians' to his Gallery page - we need to do the same with the other artists who submitted new work for our t-shirt raffle. I'm going to start with Paul Davies' 'Arbiter', because, well, we've had a new image of his every day for the past three days - seems like a silly time to kill the streak. Plus, it's an astounding image that everyone should get a better look at. (Louis Wu 21:16:30 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: Portable Update Gah - nearly forgot. Mintz pointed out that Halo Portable is back up and running after a short hiatus - check out what's coming (as well as some new wallpaper). (Louis Wu 21:14:35 UTC) (permalink)
More Mehve Marvelousness Two years ago, Lorraine McLees spent a good chunk of her time at the Bungie E3 Fanfest drawing on-the-spot graphics for raffle winners (and, accidentally, for me) - we posted a note about one of the images she did, for Eric Good, last year... and this weekend, Cunbelin dug out and sent along his own image, another very cool sketch whipped out in minutes by a master. Check it out! (One of these days, we'll have to put together a gallery for these; I'm sure there are more out there.) (Louis Wu 20:38:52 UTC) (permalink)
IGN says Halo 3 among the best of E3 Grey Wolf noticed that IGN gave Halo their 'Best Non-Playable Presentation' award in their Xbox 360 Best of E3 article. Guess maybe they should talk to the Gamepro folks... (Louis Wu 20:14:50 UTC) (permalink)
See You In A Fortnight. The man is gone - in more ways than one. Stuntmutt gets married today, and in honor of this auspicious occasion, he's created a very special One One Se7en - check it out. (As yesterday's strip mentioned, the next two weeks will be covered by guest artists - we've got some pretty good stuff for you in the wings, so stay tuned!) (Louis Wu 11:18:20 UTC) (permalink)
In Soviet Russia KeyboardKiller submitted 'Totally Random Act 5 - In Soviet Russia' to the MPRRS, and the reviewers thought it was pretty funny. Great use of mods. Apologies to Yakov Smirnoff... you can grab this in the original DivX format (15.7 mb), or in WMP9 format (15.6 mb) or QuickTime format (15.2 mb) if they're more convenient for you.

He's in a better place now. Wow. JakeDaGreat told a story, in pictures, of what happened to Mister Chief after he was assembled from Frankie's origami stuff in the latest BWU. Read the whole thread - there are updates, and side stories, and... (other pictures, too, thanks to Bluegrunt and Greenskull.) Update: There's more of 'em, here - this batch from Bluegrunt. (At some point, we're gonna have to let you find 'em on your own; these have the potential of taking over the front page. Consider this the last official update.) (Louis Wu 08:27:48 UTC) (permalink)
KP 4 th3 w1n! The Weekly Update is now up! Lots of juicy bits: new screenshot/desktop picture taken from the Halo 3 E3 trailer, a short interview with KP, his first official Bungie write-up: an eyewitness acount of KP's hazing, though the results show him doing the hazing, and a (temporary?) farewell to AdgTinMan, who leaves us a cool gift: a do-it-yourself 3D Mister Chief! (I'm not the Wu, he'll take care of loading the WWU to our own b.org database ASAP!) Update: You can now read it in our Weekly Update Archive, as well - it's even better there, because we've got the large versions of the game screens linked (the original doesn't). Much easier to read that way... (Ding 01:28:41 UTC) (permalink)
