Jim Beam
Today's Penny Arcade takes a look at the Spartan Laser and the potential for, er... unintended consequences one might find. Tycho also continues with his impressions of the Beta that he began Monday on their news page. Check it out! (mnemesis 18:20:47 UTC)

Welcome to the Beta
In preparation for tomorrow's official Halo 3 Beta kickoff (for the vast majority of participants, rather than the small group that's been playing for the past few days), Bungie has put up a comprehensive guide to the Beta - check it out for details about everything from networking to controls. Go give it a read! (Louis Wu 21:16:26 UTC)

Taking to the Skies
halosavior pointed out an interview with Richard 'Major.Dump' Boisvert, the CGI guy behind some of the new space scenes in the most recent episodes of Edgework Entertainment's The Heretic. There's a bunch that's been censored until the series is complete, but even without those bits, it's still an interesting read. Check it out! (Louis Wu 16:36:51 UTC)

This End Up
RVideo noticed a tiny asset in the Halo 2 map files that I've never seen reference to before (yeah, I know - I'm just waiting for the 'OLD!' emails); his image is pretty self-explanatory, and pretty interesting from the perspective of this Halo fan(atic). Check it out (100K)! (Louis Wu 15:26:40 UTC)

Waking
Alex Schwartz sent us word of 'Waking', a 4-part machinima he and some friends created for a machinima class at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. It uses several different game engines (Halo 2, Half-Life 2, Second Life, and Unreal 2004), as well as outside effects added with Maya - the end result is pretty impressive. Running time is about 30 minutes, split between the four acts. Storyline has some Ender's Game, some Matrix, some Terminator... fun stuff. Go check it out! (He started a forum thread here, if you'd like to discuss it.) (Louis Wu 20:03:40 UTC)

Lithium 1v1 Montage
Z pointed out Lithium's 1v1 montage over at Halo3forum.com - 8.5 minutes, 155 mb, nice editing, and some sick sticks and snipes. The use of fusion cores as placement engines is great - haven't seen much of that before. Check it out!

CA.net opens
Our good friends over at High Impact Halo have branched out with a new endeavor - the very first fansite devoted to Certain Affinity is now open for business. Pretty stuff - and according to CA themselves, you should be finding some exclusive content there soonish. Check it out! (Louis Wu 11:44:41 UTC)

H2V Trailer Released
TheGhost sent us more news - Microsoft has just released a trailer for Halo 2 Vista, showing off the map editor, and the new maps (as well as some nicely crisp single-player footage). Check it out! (WMP9 Professional format, streaming - might be hard to see on a stock Mac.) (Louis Wu 21:48:32 UTC)

High Resolution Halo Opens its Doors
Matt6908 sent us a note about High Resolution Halo, a new site he's kicked off. We don't normally mention new sites, but this one is chock-full of cool assets like medals, matchmaking ranks, emblems, cutouts, HUD pieces... a cornucopia of resources if you're making Halo-related graphics. Check it out! (Louis Wu 12:52:45 UTC)

halo3.com - live and full of stuff
serpx noticed that halo3.com now has quite a bit of new content (updated about a week ago) - including tidbits like the fact that the M6D is returning (though we know nothing about its specs), some story details that have not elsewhere been confirmed before (to avoid spoilers, I'll not specify them, but you can read them yourself if you'd like), and more. Go check it out! (I'm sad for Gearbox that in the Games section, the only title left out is Halo PC...) The Media section contains a nice centralized location for videos, screenshots, concept art (I see one or two as-yet unpublished ones there, too), and the like - go browse! (Louis Wu 21:24:35 UTC)

Eyes On Your Own Screen
Awesome O and pillar of awesome have concocted a Halo quiz which it seems they've put a fair amount of work into. The questions aren't half-baked and there are definitely a few head-scratchers. Go check it out and share your score with the forum. (KP 15:20:16 UTC)

MTV Receives Copy of H2V for Review, Doesn't Review
A weekly segment at MTV.com, the Multiplayer Stock Report, includes Halo 2 for Windows Vista this week. Unfortunately, they don't really say much about the game other than to regurgitate the contents of the package received. If you're interested in what accompanies the press kit for H2V, however, go and check it out. (KP 13:20:48 UTC)

I Blame Shishka.
_Wheels03 noticed that the most recent Halo Humpday Challenge (between 1UP and Bungie) has been chronicled both by 1UP (in a flikr photoset and the 1UP Show video podcast) and by Bungie (though as of now, all three games are linked to the third game stats - first game is here, second here). Looks like a good old-fashioned rivalry... check it out!

Halo 2 vs Halo 3
Adam Kovic, over at machinima.com, put together a short video that compares some of the early Halo 2 alpha and beta footage to the final product, in the context of the Halo 3 alpha footage we're seeing. His point is that we really don't have anything to worry about. Check it out! (Louis Wu 15:12:14 UTC)

Halo: Fall Of The Flood
A couple of days ago, we got mail from Benjamin Bailey-Webb, touting a short animated vid he and a friend made - I didn't find time to watch it until this morning. It's short, it's sweet. 4 mb, in either WMP9 or QuickTime formats; check it out! (Louis Wu 13:00:25 UTC)

Guitar Hero Gameplay, Revisited
Heh - you might remember a post last weekend where KP and e tried hard to play Halo 2 with Guitar Hero II controllers; fugitivesoldier ran across a video of someone doing a whole lot better playing the ORIGINAL Halo with that controller. Check it out! (Louis Wu 11:23:44 UTC)

Over at MLGPro.com, there's an interview with Make it Rain, the 8th seed team going into Charlotte. Sounds like they're looking to have a good time this season! Check it out. Thanks, Klank. (Louis Wu 15:10:00 UTC)

District Details Delineated
darthbob noticed that Gamespot has an article about District, the second of two new exclusive maps coming out with Halo 2 Vista next month (the first is Uplift, profiled by GameSpy recently). 6 new screenshots - this level looks to be an amalgam of Turf, Terminal, and Outskirts. Check it out! (Louis Wu 05:21:57 UTC)

Achievement Unlocked
Archie Gates, the guy behind the Needler songs, has kicked off a new project; he's writing songs about games, and the first one out of the box is called 'Achievement Unlocked'. It's not really Halo-related, but most Halo players will be able to relate - it's pretty darned funny! It's available for free, streaming off his MySpace webpage - but if you, like me, have trouble with the stuttering that comes from MySpace streams, it's downloadable, in high-quality MP3 format, for just a buck. Check it out! Chaos Tangent mentioned it on our forum before I had a chance to post it here... (Louis Wu 05:36:24 UTC)

An X-Plane Pelican
Mid7night continues his Halo-to-X-Plane portage (we've already commented on his Longsword (1|2), the Pillar of Autumn, a Covenant Assault Carrier (1|2), and a Phantom) - his newest craft is a Pelican. Check it out! (Videos, too.) (Louis Wu 10:30:17 UTC)

H3DA - Online and Functional
Lyca let us know that the Halo 3 Data Archive has finished a pretty monumental task; they've categorized and documented all released info about Halo 3 to date. Every tidbit is attributed to its source - if you ever need to figure out whether what your buddy is telling you is actually released info, or just rumor... this is a great place to look. (Needs a search function! Heh.) Check it out - but be warned, you can lose a lot of time here... (Louis Wu 09:45:53 UTC)

Help me get down!
Jamie98s let us know about his latest music video - this one's set to the Killers' "Why do I keep counting?" Great filming, as usual; awesome shots, cool effects, and (something a lot of Halo music vids seem to forget to do) action that's actually synched to both the music and the lyrics. Check it out! Available in WMP9 format (35.3 mb) or QuickTime format (33.3 mb). (Louis Wu 15:09:10 UTC)
