Reconstruction: Chapter 2
RvB's Reconstruction Chapter 2 is now online for the public (and in a larger format for Sponsors). We're back to the humor! And the music. And stuff. Go watch! (Louis Wu 23:35:48 UTC) (permalink)
AtLANtica - in Pictures
You may or may not have known that Tied the Leader held another of their huge clanwide LANs earlier this month - it was a full vacation for many of the attendees. My guess is tomorrow's Tied the Leader update will have a full writeup of the event - but to whet your appetite, Stuicide pointed out the group's Flickr stream, with hundreds of photos taken during the event. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 23:05:46 UTC) (permalink)
A new top spot for Halo 3 Tips
Pez is pretty excited that halowiki.net is the top choice for Google if you search for 'Halo 3 Tips' - and he thinks it's because they finally realized how bad their Tips page was, and reorganized it to be... well, good. Go check it out!

New Series, New Packaging
Xbox360Fanboy has shots of the packaging for the McFarlane Halo 3 Series 2 figures - things are a little less bulky this time around. (Louis Wu 22:51:27 UTC) (permalink)
More from the Stride Championship Series
Once again, Luke Smith was the first to let us know about the latest episode of the Stride Championship Series at MLGPro.com - Week 3 is Final Boss vs Triggers Down, Team Slayer on Narrows. It's a blowout - but maybe not the way you'd expect. We mentioned Week One back on May 24 - but nobody noticed Week 2, with Classic vs The Influence on Onslaught. Watch 'em both!

Hats and Cats
More Halo comic stuff for you around the web today - Shipwrecked Episode 25 ("Out of the Frying Pan") and Larry the Marine Episode 24 ("How it all began, Part 9") were both put up. Thanks, Dennis Powers and 2Phast! (Louis Wu 18:37:17 UTC) (permalink)
Shield Worlds, on Ascendant Justice
Ascendant Justice has posted 'Shield World', an article that looks at the third element of the Forerunner equation - the Shield Worlds, as exemplified by the structure that dominates the book 'Ghosts of Onyx'. Go read vociferous' thoughts on where Bungie (or another development entity) might go next with the Halo story! Thanks, mendicantbias00. (Louis Wu 15:35:41 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie in 2008: Reflecting on Halo 3 (and Beyond)
Back in early May, we mentioned an interview with Mike Zak in Game Developer magazine - the full version of that interview (apparently the GD version was an excerpt), including Brian Jarrard, is now available on Gamasutra. They've also got an interview with Chris Butcher, unpublished before now. Combined, the interviews take up 11 pages... and are a fascinating read. Everything from playing in the Halo playground (I think the HIH guys might have something to say about Bungie's feelings of freedom in the three games) to how they work, to what sort of skills are important in turning out a top-tier game like Halo 3... it's a great pair of interviews.

Nicodemus-07 announced the first trailer to his Halo 3 machinima series 'Believer' - a team of Spartans hunts for Cortana between Halo 2 and Halo 3. Go watch it on YouTube. (Louis Wu 14:23:11 UTC) (permalink)
Constructs of the Forerunners
TTL Demag0gue reminded us that new Reclaimers are released on Mondays - Number 50 is now online. The Reclaimer's mission objectives have changed a bit... (Louis Wu 14:21:23 UTC) (permalink)
Don't Drop the Soap
Haloplayer let us know that Lost Cause 18 is now out - if you've forgotten what's going on (after all, Lost Cause 17 was released in mid-February), you might want to grab that one as a recap. 18 is available as streaming media, , plus multiple download flavors. The map used for the filming has been uploaded as well, if you want to play - check the IKP post for details. (Louis Wu 14:19:50 UTC) (permalink)
