...If you need me
Today's episode of Another Halo Comic Strip might make you laugh out loud. It did that to me. (Louis Wu 18:20:37 UTC) (permalink)
The Man With The Iron Skull: Part One
Narcogen has posted a new article - this one focuses on the Iron Skull, and how it affects gameplay. It's an interesting collection of observations and comments - it's made me look more closely at my playing style on Campaign levels. (Although we came close, we (the Halo community) didn't hit that magical 7 billion number by yesterday - as of this moment, there are still more than 46 million kills required, which will likely take the rest of the week. My taste for Campaign play has been rejuvenated, however, and Narc's comments about the Iron Skull have made me curious; it's just a matter of finding the time to jump back in.) This article only makes it through Crow's Nest - he's got a ways yet. Go read what he has to say in Part One - and add your own thoughts! (Louis Wu 17:12:48 UTC) (permalink)
New Halo CE goodies
Dennis Powers sent us an update on Halo Custom Edition - if you swing by Halo Maps, you'll find more than 100 new maps and assets added during the month of June. Notable items include Asterisk, Winter Snow, and several maps made by the DMT Clan. If you're into urban warfare, DMT-OD SP4 Upskirts is a total conversion, and DMT-Air lets you play as a Covenant Elite racing to High Charity to land on a Covenant Capital ship. Go check 'em out!

RvB Reconstruction: Chapter 6
Red vs Blue Reconstruction Chapter 6 has been posted for sponsors - look for it on the RvB front page (for everyone) in the very near future. It's a fascinating progression of the plot - and Caboose provides multiple laugh-out-loud moments. With every chapter, Rooster Teeth shows that they are setting the bar for Halo machinima - superb technique, great storytelling, professional-level editing, voice acting the entire community should be striving towards... this stuff makes me happy. You should go watch. (Louis Wu 15:08:37 UTC) (permalink)
Ze leader, she ees tied.
XerxdeeJ dropped in to remind us that Tied the Leader is a great place to go for commentary on the Halo community. A gentle look into the life of a Recon-wearer (and what it should mean to you), an exhortation to ally yourself with others of like mind for more satisfying Halo battles, and a cautionary tale for truthseekers everywhere... these are just some of the things you'll find over at TTL. Go immerse yourself! (Louis Wu 14:49:30 UTC) (permalink)
Flying In Amber Clad
Mid7night continues his Halo-to-X-Plane work with a version of In Amber Clad flying around in X-Plane. Nice! (Louis Wu 14:40:56 UTC) (permalink)
The Riot 106 (and 105, too)
Sigafoos let us know that The Riot 106 is now online - 38 minutes, 15 mb, full of Halo, Bungie, and beer. Go listen! (You might have missed 105 last week, because we did - mostly because Sigafoos did. Yes, our secret is out - we don't actually pay attention to the community unless someone tells us what's going on.)
