Letting players win (even when they lose)
There's an interesting interview with Bungie designer Francois Boucher-Genesse (originally published in Game Developer magazine) over at Gamasutra - how did Bungie make Legendary interesting again, after the complaints about Jackal Snipers and areas like Cairo Station's second bay from Halo 2? What makes 'hard' still 'fun'? Check it out. (Louis Wu 17:40:03 UTC)

FB vs BkS, Pit KOTH (LBJ took the IRT)
Z sent us word of a fun game he's spotlighting over at Halo3Forum.com - Final Boss vs Best Kept Secret, King of the Hill, on The Pit, from the point of view of a PuRe GaNgSt3r (a member of BkS). You can stream it, you can download it (a 280 mb WMP9, just a straight rip of the film from APG's viewpoint), or you can grab a copy of the film from APG's fileshare, and view it the way you want to. Great game, and really nice to see some pro techniques in a 15 minute battle. Check it out.

A month ago, we mentioned a small app you could use from your iPhone to get your Halo 3 stats - now there's another option, and it's pretty amazing. iHaloStats.com shows you everything from a summary page to your medal chest to your weapons stats. All nicely formatted for the iPhone. Check it out! (This was created by the same guy who showed you how to make stereoscopic screenshots from Halo 3.) (Louis Wu 20:02:00 UTC)

Halo Wars Monthly Update
Thunder has posted January's Halo Wars' Monthly Update over at the HW website - they've posted a timeline (mostly information from the official Halo timeline, but also some tidbits from Fall of Reach, Contact Harvest, and their own game), and they've put up a new piece of concept art that works nicely as a wallpaper. (They've also fixed a date that got broken somewhere along the line.) Check it out! Thanks to Planet Halo for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 16:20:20 UTC)

Jonathan Quail
Trigger119 sent word that CROSSFIRE's 'Jonathan Quail' has been released at GamingTV. This is a 'reinvention' (CROSSFIRE's term) of Hell Quarters: Jonathan Quail, a video released a couple of years ago. That film was Halo 2-based, and 7 minutes long; this one is Halo 3-based, and 30 minutes long. On the plus side, the filming is really, really good, the scoring is fantastic, the whole atmosphere is nailed down. On the minus side... the first half drags quite a bit. (It picks up dramatically at about 15 minutes.) And it's seriously confusing. (I mean... you THINK it's not, when you're watching it, but then you say, huh?) If you've got the time - this one is definitely worth the 200mb download. Check it out! Available in several formats, including streaming. (Louis Wu 16:03:44 UTC)

The Room Service Sucks
Elnea continues her astounding postage rate for Halo Action Figure Theater (there was a large gap before Episode 100, my guess is she was building the next 77 episodes during that downtime). Episode 112 brings hope back to Mudville (well, maybe). Check it out! (Louis Wu 19:05:48 UTC)
