Splash, Remixed
Not really Halo-related, but cool nonetheless - Andrew Matecha, a long-time fan, has remixed 'Splash', a song from Bungie's Marathon soundtrack, and set it to a slideshow of Marathon screenshots and art. Triggers all sorts of memories! (Louis Wu 14:02:23 UTC)

Bungie Carnage Report, Issue Le Deux
As Mariachi pointed out, the second issue of Bungie's Carnage Report (a relatively new newsletter designed to keep fans informed of the latest goings-on at Bungie) was mailed out yesterday; we've started an archive for them. (Issue 001 is here - thanks, ZayneHumphrey! - and Issue 002 is here. One of these days, we'll even put up an index file for them.) If you're an avid fan, there's probably not a LOT new in here... but it's a good way to make sure you're caught up! (You can sign up for your very own copy by visiting your Bungie.net Profile, and editing the Profile info to include emailed updates.) (Louis Wu 14:06:18 UTC)

There's a pretty interesting article in Edge Magazine about the Science of Usability Testing in videogames - and Bungie's John Hopson (user research lead) gets some screen space. Go check it out! Thanks, urk. (Louis Wu 20:52:38 UTC)

Waypoint Goodies
bs angel dropped us a line to point out some pretty cool content at Halo Waypoint's website:
- OptimumForge continues his Forge101 tutorial vids - the latest one will help you make a great CTF map.
- Mike whipped up some pretty cool Windows Phone 7 wallpapers from Reach screenshots - go adorn your speaking device!
- ReggaePanda put together a really nice Reach Screenshot montage - just a couple of minutes long, but full of beautiful images.
Go explore - I bet there's other stuff there you haven't seen yet! (Louis Wu 18:31:03 UTC)

Halo Reach Fails: Episode 7
Looks like multiple groups have started uploading the Halo Reach Fails series - I think we'll stick with the Halo3Fails link (the one we've been using all along). Some funny clips in here - sometimes, you simply can't blame your enemies for your deaths! Thanks, chris10023. (Louis Wu 14:53:57 UTC)

Showin' The Halo Love
Dan Baker's been a Halo fan for quite some time - in 2007 he built a display for his action figures, and in 2008 he started work on a very high-quality Halo comic. He got in touch today with information about three new Halo-related projects - Marine outfits for his kids this past Halloween, a very cool Spike Grenade for his brother this Christmas, and a metal sign he's selling at Etsy. Visit this page for details about all three of these projects! (I'm thinkin' seriously about that sign...) (Louis Wu 20:05:12 UTC)

Sword Faves
bs angel certainly loves someone who knows how to use their sword, especially when they take pictures. That's right, her Favorite Halo Screenshots are back over at the Waypoint Blog, this time around focusing on the infamous and deadly Energy Sword. Some very cool shots in there; some of the effects are just gorgeous! (GrimBrother One 19:52:09 UTC)

Bungie Embedded Video Helper
While it's very, very cool that rendered videos from Bungie.net can be embedded anywhere, it's somewhat less cool that they're set to autostart for all embeds. This means if someone puts together a page with a bunch of videos, when you open the page, you'll be faced with a cacophony of sound and moving images. Francis stopped by yesterday - twice - to make your life a little better, if you use Firefox; he wrote a Greasemonkey script that gives you far more control over B.net embeds. Read the Update post for full details and the latest version... and breathe a little easier when you open a page full of vids. (Louis Wu 16:04:58 UTC)

HSH Roundup
RC Master kindly sent along a summary of some of the cool new content at High Speed Halo:
- There's a 3:51 Legendary speedrun of Nightfall, by Ignatius - with no shots fired, no enemies killed. Wow.
- Ensnared Cadaver and BishopOfAngst did a lot of co-op ODST speedrunning: NMPD HQ on Normal, Kikowani Stn. on Normal and Easy, Kizingo Blvd. on Normal, and Tayari Plaza on Heroic. Busy guys! (The runs are pretty slick, and worth watching.)
- Ensnared Cadaver also has a solo run of Kikowani Stn. on Heroic.
- Finally, Gocnak ran Uplift Reserve on Legendary, in a Zero Shot Pacifist Vidmaster Classic run... in 2:26. That's insanely quick.
He also wanted to remind you that Awesome games done quick starts tomorrow, and Cody Miller will be running Halo in between his Portal and MGS2 runs. Tune in! (Louis Wu 19:31:14 UTC)

Halo Fall of Reach Covenant?
CaptainTony noticed that Marvel will be releasing a new comic miniseries starting in February - it focuses on the Covenant, apparently. (There's no word about this on Marvel's website, so it's POSSIBLE that this is just a reprint of an earlier series.) (Louis Wu 14:36:02 UTC)

On the Precipice
Wow, what better way to start of the new year than by showing something that bridges the past to the present. Siliconmaster sends along word that Precipice, his Halo CE map is complete. I hesitate to even call it a simple mod because it is truly incredible. Definitely check out the trailer on YouTube, and if you like you can also check out his thread over at Modacity. You can also download the trailer here. At any rate, go and check this out! (GrimBrother One 16:39:28 UTC)

Team HBO Invades Christmas Eve
pete_the_duck and friends played a bunch of Invasion on Christmas Eve - and he had stories to tell, stories with pictures. (Well, video.) Man, I hope Bungie fixes their Silverlight player to allow turning off of auto-start... because pages like this can be PAINFUL. (Louis Wu 03:41:08 UTC)
