Halo 3: Battle of the Artists
Lost in the insanity of yesterday was a screenshot montage put together by A Deaf Boy, that includes some of the highest-rated user-created screenshots from the month of March. Thanks to urk for pointing it out. (Louis Wu 16:18:29 UTC)

For folks itching to see what sort of levels you'll be playing on in the Bungie Ultimate Ninja Gaming Extreme League™, Bungie has posted a B.U.N.G.L.E. Map Guide showing off the cool new spaces.

Halo Mythic Challenge
Tyrant, heartened by the success of his Floodgate Mythic Challenge, has reissued the challenge with a new map - Halo. Swing by Bungie.net to read all the details - but the short version says that the fastest Mythic run of that level submitted on March 28 gets a Mythic Map pack code. (Really - read the details; the starting and ending times are pretty important, if you want to be eligible.) (Louis Wu 21:19:23 UTC)

Impact: Halo 3 Montage 2
urk highlighted a pretty slick montage from Impact - the credits start just over halfway through, but there's plenty of decent gameplay after that point, so it's not too unreasonable. Most of the gameplay is from the MLG playlist... and the BRs are fast and furious. (Louis Wu 18:48:16 UTC)

Alrighty, then
Over at Bungie.net, Sk1ll4xEd points out a clip from 1995's 'Ace Ventura 2' which might trigger some familiarity in Halo fans. (Before you start feverishly typing that this sounds NOTHING like the Halo theme... take a deep breath, realize that for most people a Gregorian chant is a Gregorian chant, and smile along with the rest of us.)

Total Bugs in Bungie.net CMS: [CLASSIFIED]
Bungie officially confirmed the release date of the Mythic Map Pack on XBL Marketplace (not that Major Nelson's confirmation wasn't official) - but the REAL reason to read the newspost is because it's chock-full of cool stats about Halo 3 matchmaking to date. Did you know that there are more than 70 million screenshots available on Bungie.net, taken in Halo 3? Or that if you totalled up the running time of all the film clips currently stored on Bungie.net, you'd have almost 750 MILLION seconds of footage? Go read the rest. (There's a reminder about our Mythic Movie contest at the bottom, as well... don't forget, you've got until Monday!) (Louis Wu 22:58:04 UTC)

Wii Fit outsells Halo 3
Kotaku has a story about the sales of Wii Fit in the US - and how it's exceeded the sales of Halo 3 over their respective lifetimes. (I'm not sure how relevant this is, really; the installed base of the Wii is nearly double that of the 360, and the audience for the two games has a reasonably minimal overlap... but hey, news is news.) Eiii started a thread about it in our forum, if you want to comment. (Louis Wu 14:39:29 UTC)

Haloramics (a video)
A group of fans dedicated to making Halo panoramas has created a video that shows off a bunch in an HD YouTube vid. Me... I like my panoramas all on one screen, at one time... but if you like pan effects, check this out! Thanks, urk. (Louis Wu 14:37:25 UTC)

Bungie Blog Blastacular
Was out this afternoon, came back to a monster collection of material on the Bungie Blog:
- Jamie98s (or Koko98s, as he's known on Bungie.net) has released The Unlucky Elite 5 - that poor dude can't catch a break. Great effects.
- Halo3BigApple whipped up a montage from Mythic map footage - seriously short (it's 1:40 long, and the actual gameplay is less than fifty seconds of that), but nice clips.
- Real Life Halo 3 is a pretty amazing piece of work - the crew at the Granger Community Church put two real players inside a game for some awesome bomb-planting action. Check this one out.
- urk's got word of another Mythic Map code giveaway, this time at The 7th Wonder. Register to win.
- Juggernaut is really short, so its one laugh works out to a decent laugh-per-minute rate. (Not sure what urk saw in this one.)
- 3 Ball is live as this weekend's Double XP Weekend playlist - go earn an achievement or two.
- Greenskull and SMG90 continue their Rube Goldberg-style golf courses - this one actually starts in the Crypt, and ends up in the Sky Bubble.
Aren't you glad urk's looking out for your free time? (Louis Wu 18:50:56 UTC)

Halo Trek - Second Trailer
BlueNinja took the latest trailer for the new Star Trek movie, and added Halo graphics to the trailer soundtrack. Watch them in sequence for maximum effect. Nice work! (Louis Wu 21:48:23 UTC)

Beautiful - A Screenshot Montage
I've never really been a fan of screenshot montages; it never seemed like the right medium for that sort of content. Maybe that's just because I never saw one done in a way that really caught my imagination. MLG Slush sent word that he'd finished a screenshot montage called 'Beautiful', and I must say... it's really, really nicely done. Great shots, great editing. Most of the screens were taken by his brother, Chilaxing, and the overall effect has changed my mind about screenshot montages. (Or maybe it just raised the bar some more.) You can find this at Eve-Films, but he's also put up a copy at WeGame.com, and for those in a hurry, it's available on YouTube. (Louis Wu 12:48:53 UTC)

Halo Bible site kicked off (again)
StrengthInFaith wasn't happy that the Halo Bible site set up last year died... so he's started over. The concept is that only information that's been confirmed as canon will be collected - and all information will be referenced. This is only as good as the community can make it - so if you want it to succeed, stop by and help him out! (Louis Wu 15:08:36 UTC)

GDC Summary - The Bungie Edition
The 2009 Game Developers Conference kicks off in a little over a week - and here are the Bungie/Halo related presenters:
- Max Hoberman (former Multiplayer Lead for Halo games) has a talk called 'From Bungie to Bootstrapping - Starting an Independent Developer Studio'.
- Allen Murray (Producer, Halo 3) is sharing production challenges in a talk entitled 'Building Your Airplane While Flying: Production at Bungie'.
- David Hunt (Lead Character Rigger) is discussing 'Modular Procedural Rigging'.
- Artist Seth Gibson is participating in a panel on Technical Art Techniques.
- Luke Smith is participating in a panel on Game Design.
There might be more - but the search function isn't nearly as friendly as it's been in previous years. Thanks to Ssparks, over at NeoGAF, for the initial heads-up. (Louis Wu 12:31:56 UTC)

A paper rifle takes shape
sbear stopped in with some pics of a pepakura rifle he's building, from a source file he got from the 405th. Great start!

More Mythic Impressions at TGR
TheGameReviews.com has posted their Mythic Map Pack impressions - go see what they thought. (Not sure why the screenshots that go with the article are of Halo Wars...) (Louis Wu 13:05:24 UTC)

Bungie Blog Roundup
Step out for lunch, come back to a mountain of new content on Bungie.net. Stuff that caught my eye:
- Random's Halo 3 Funtage focuses on sticks and mongoose kills.
- M1STA WU1FY has a Brute Shot montage for you. (Soundtrack is starting to sound overused...)
- Elephants Never Forget To Kill expands the concept of the Elephant Cannon. Things go boom.
- americanista123 continues his 'Bungie Employee Montage' series with a Blooper reel.
- This week's Double XP Weekend is Grifball - the last Winter League Weekend! Go enjoy it.
- 360Sync has offered up three Mythic Map Pack codes... but it looks like B.net might have killed them.
There's more there... but we've either posted it already, or... it's not really postworthy. Go explore on your own! (Louis Wu 19:06:40 UTC)

Urrrrrkkkkkkkk....
Goodies this morning on the Bungie Blog:
- Stop-Motion Snake: I thought this was pretty darned cool. scott14755 recreated a game of 'Snake' in Forge, via stop-motion photography. (Well, screenshotography.) I loved it.
- Halotech.org is streaming gameplay on Mythic Maps for folks who don't have their own to play on.
- Skillz Like AI whipped up an artistic and restive display on Foundry... restive, that is, until you get hit. Then it's rather explosive. Nice work!
Time to look for our own content again... Update: two more from Bungie.net (is it time to retire?)... MLD (Major League Driving) Top 10 #3 is out - this one focuses on Warthogs. How bad does a gunner feel when his DRIVER picks up a Vehicular Manslaughter (10 splatters without dying) in the time that the gunner takes down 3 enemies? And a new Average Joe interview is up - this time with Predator5791 (who I was SURE had already done one of these, but I'm guessing I was just misremembering the Screenshot Artist Spotlight or maybe even Hawty McBloggy's interview). Go see what makes him do what he does! (Louis Wu 18:32:01 UTC)

Sometimes, you just gotta go for style points.
The latest episode of Red vs Blue: Relocated is now online - Part Three shows what the Rooster Teeth boys can do with the Mythic maps. (Caboose is starting to worry me, too.) I'm wondering if Lopez's Spanish isn't getting WORSE, over time... (Louis Wu 23:24:21 UTC)

Think Jack and the Beanstalk... with lasers
pete_the_duck looked into the issue of building towers that start on Sandbox's ground level... and climb into the skybox. What he found was pretty interesting. Check out the post! (Louis Wu 14:56:50 UTC)
