In Amber Clad - Up Close and Personal
Stephen Loftus has created a new analysis piece for you - this one takes an in-depth look at the frigate In Amber Clad. From its history to its accoutrements, Miranda Keyes' ship is examined with his usual style - take a look! (Louis Wu 20:09:33 UTC) (permalink)
Zombies 101
Cramesta submitted 'Zombies 101', a film which walks the viewer through some of the potential pitfalls of the popular Zombies gametype, to the MPRRS - they didn't pass it, but it pretty much came down to a single review that kept it from passing, so I'm posting it anyway. It's nicely filmed, has great music choices, and is quite funny in parts. You can grab it in WMP9 format (47.4 mb) or QuickTime format (46.2 mb). Don't play Zombies without it!

IGN breaks down Halo 3 trailer
IGN posted 'IGN Weekly Episode 10', a look back at E3 for the most part. It's 30 minutes long; the relevance here is that the entire last half is devoted to the Halo 3 trailer. Much of the discussion has already been hashed out on our forum, and large chunks are seriously debatable... but it's nicely put together, and an interesting watch, if you've got the time. The 'small' free version is 3-400 mb, depending on the flavor you choose... and if you're an Insider, the large version is 7-800 mb. Thanks to kaisu and Spandexman for pointing it out.

Who's Hot, Who's Not
The MLG Blog of the Week this week is Trunkers' - he looks at the changes in seed from Dallas to Anaheim (how team rankings are changing). Interesting stuff, if you follow the pro scene! Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 15:36:21 UTC) (permalink)
Playing for Time
According to sawnose (a Bungie.net superuser), yesterday afternoon saw a pretty impressive milestone passed on Xbox Live - 3,333,333,333 player-games recorded. (A player-game is one game played by one player - so a head-to-head match would count as 2 player-games, while a full 6v6 match would be 12 player-games.) 3.3 BILLION player-games... at let's say about 10 minutes each... that's more than 60,000 player-years of gametime on XBL, playing Halo 2. Wonga! Thanks to all who let us know - looks like Masta Chef was first. (Louis Wu 15:02:12 UTC) (permalink)
