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!

Edge's 200 Covers
In celebration of their 200th issue, Edge Magazine whipped up 200 covers. Three of them (starting with 14 in this show) are Halo-related. Thanks, GatchamanUK. (Louis Wu 16:38:46 UTC)

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)

Catching up with Halo 3 Fails
Tons of stuff fell through the cracks this weekend - let's see if we can scrape some of it back up. chris10023 let us know about a couple of new 'Halo 3 Fails' videos - Top 10 of Season 1 went live on Friday, and Episode 11 (which I suppose is the start of season 2?) went live yesterday.

The Mythical Monthly Mythic Challenge
Daniel 'Tyrant' Morris let us know that the Monthly Mythic Challenge has gotten a boost - this time around, there's a special treat. first-time soloists have a shot at a Mythic Map Pack code - and to help provide you incentive to EARN it, you get an extra week to complete the challenge! You've got to start on March 1 (or later), and the first person to finish all 10 levels in Mythic difficulty in less than two weeks will receive a set of Mythic Maps. (Remember, the Mythic Walkthrough here on HBO can help.) If nobody finishes it (or if the contest is won by a team, or an existing Conqueror), then the prize is the standard 1600 MS Points. Browse the 'Quest for SLASO' group for full details... and prepare to conquer!

I got a NOOO Scope
Another episode of Anoj's Top 10 Halo 3 Series - Episode 25 looks at no-scopes. The randoms at the start are great, but they're all pretty fun. Thanks again, urk.

Mythic Map Code Giveaway: Results
Wow. So we wanted to give away a few Mythic Map codes yesterday... little did I know how much interest that idea would generate. The next giveaway is gonna be a bit simpler (on the back end), I think. In the six hours that the contest was open, the official thread received 943 responses, with a total of almost 4500 title line suggestions. (Many, many more were posted in OTHER threads, or emailed to us - but those weren't eligible for a code, according to the very simple rules listed in the first post.) I'd like to say that an awful lot of these submissions are great - and I'll be folding many of them into the title line rotation here at HBO, so your words will live on, whether or not you win a code. That said, though... when you've got 5 codes, and almost 5000 entries... 99.9% of all entries are going to lose. I'm sorry about that. If you want to see what we got (without reading nearly 1000 individual posts), I put up the full list here. Without further ado, then... the winners!
- HBO - Saucy, with a hint of win (Llamalizard)
- HBO: Please pwn responsibly. (Testify)
- HBO: How many times have you been here today? (JeSteR 343)
- HBO: now adopted by Angelina Jolie (Ryan Clark)
- HBO: This is the last tagline. Start over. (Stephen L. (SoundEffect))
All five of these people have been contacted via the email addresses they supplied in their posts; if your name is up there and you haven't gotten an email from us, check your junk folder. I can't tell you what made these stand out over the enormous amount of competition; I DO know I have a first-cut file with my top 75 or so, but on a different day, the winning five would probably have been different. Don't feel bad if you didn't win - and don't give up hope! We'll be giving out another five later this week. (Louis Wu 18:28:33 UTC)

ODST - to the max
Adam Grumbo sent word (two days ago!) that a 405th regular, Ruben, had created a truly beautiful ODST helmet - you can see the finished pictures on this page, and you can jump back to the start of the thread for the beginnings of the project, back in mid-September. Astounding work! (Hawty McBloggy has her own writeup of the helmet, with some of the best pics pulled out for your viewing pleasure.)

A fun way to get a code
SketchFactor started up a Mythic Maps code scavenger hunt on Bungie.net - one fifth of a code has been posted in this thread. Can you find the other four-fifths, and assemble them in the right order, before anyone else?

Bungie Blog Roundup
You miss one day of news on the Bungie Blog, you miss a lot. I think I need to make a little Stephen Colbert fist-in-the-air graphic with 'urrrrrk!' coming out of his mouth. Here's a rundown:
- DigitalPh33r posted Hard Justice Episode 12 ('Resignation, Act Two') - Bernard tries to get assault charges dropped in an odd way, and Eddie and Max find themselves in a pickle.
- Queso Man has posted his fifth montage - some fun clips in there!
- urk used the Bungie.net tag search to find some very cool Security armor shots. Can you find more?
- The Mythic Map Pack Screenshot Contest is over - winners have been notified. Hope you were lucky!
- MLGPro.com posted some exclusive Assembly gameplay footage - MLG-style. Unfortunately... at the time this post is being written, gameroom.mlgpro.com is offline... so the videos aren't watchable. Keep track of the link, though; it won't be down for long.
- While you're waiting for that Assembly goodness, you can see some MLG Playlist Top 10 action, courtesy of B Mc Gann and Static Hazard. This is Episode 4.
urrrrrkkkk! (Louis Wu 17:20:46 UTC)

Halo Action Figure Theater is back!
Elnea started updating Halo Action Figure Theater again last week - but it slipped through the cracks as I traveled. Thanks to CougRon for noticing a SECOND update today - it's amazing how easy it was to get back into it after 5 months! (After all... how complicated can action figure porn BE?)

More Chances at Mythic Map Pack Codes
Randomsauce wrote to let us know that Halo3Mythbusters has a Mythic Map Pack code to give away - create a Covenant-themed screenshot by midnight Tuesday, win a set of the maps early! Read the forum post for full details. (We're going to be giving away a few codes as well... but not until I get home, because it's going to be a very short-term contest, and I want to be there to monitor results. Look for that on Tuesday.) (Louis Wu 12:57:44 UTC)

Mythic Map Preview at Halo.fr
Johnny Be GooD of Halo.fr let us know that they've put up a preview of the Mythic maps, complete with lots of screenshots. It's in French (duh)... but Google can help if you don't speak the language! (And pictures don't need any translation.) (Louis Wu 05:06:53 UTC)

Prima's got Halo Wars Covered
We got word from Prima Games about some new content they're developing with respect to Halo Wars. (They're doing the Official Game Guide.) They've got a blog running - the current blog post contains a first look at the game, along with some screens, and there's an RSS feed so you can keep track of new stuff easily. They're also running a contest whereby you can submit your email address to win a shot at a signed Halo 3 art book. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 05:00:20 UTC)
