Wearable EVA and EOD Helmets, from a 405th Resident
We got a note from NZ-TK last night, pointing out a thread at the 405th Forums, and a new helmet he's been working on. Going through that whole thread, though, showed a SECOND helmet - and with his permission, we've put his images online here, for easy viewing. Check out both his EVA helmet (finished a few months ago) and his EOD helmet (brand new pics this week)! We'll add new ones as he does. (Louis Wu 16:14:15 UTC) (permalink)
Dispraiser speaks out about Halo Wars
Sam152, of Halo Wars Addict, interviewed Dispraiser, the lead on the C&C Generals mod Halogen (which was asked to shut down by Microsoft just before Halo Wars was announced, a couple of years ago). Seems like Dispraiser is still a bit angry about the whole situation (and very, very negative about Halo Wars) - go give it a read, and see if you agree! (Louis Wu 16:10:37 UTC) (permalink)
Pro Tips with TSquared
Looks like earlier this month, G4TV's X-Play started a feature in which MLG's TSquared provides tips about various multiplayer maps. So far they've posted Blackout (May 6), Ghost Town (May 13), and Foundry (May 20). We'll have to keep an eye on this! (Louis Wu 13:15:25 UTC) (permalink)
Marathon Man Ep 6: DoomsDrake
Sniper2477 is back with another episode of Marathon Man - this one is called 'DoomsDrake', and is ostensibly the last in the series. Once again, the story's a bit week, and (again) there's at least one gratuitously silly scene, but in general, the filming is well-done, and the action at the end is nice.

nomis78 has been playing with panoramas again - there are 7 new ones in this forum post. I really like 'Setting up Shop'!

HD Video Capture Tips
I've been threatening to write up a summary of my experiences with the Blackmagic Intensity HD capture card - but life's been getting in the way. Cody Miller beat me to the punch - check out his post for tips on system requirements, software needed, and suggestions on capture settings! This card is your best option for capturing Halo 3 action in HD - check it out! (I may still add to this, if things ever slow down.) (Louis Wu 13:07:41 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 emblem Photoshop brushes
Don stumbled across a site called 'Brusheezy' ("Stupid Name. Cool Brushes!" is their slogan), which has a set of Photoshop brushes from the Halo 2 emblems. Could be useful!
