Marissa's Bunny - Time to Say Goodbye
I think Fairfax's visit to HBO Headquarters is nearing its end. (It started here, and was followed up here.) He tried to tour the Yale campus (since it's pretty much right next door)... but it just wouldn't stop raining! While he waited, he explored a local brew pub... and I gotta say, once he was finished in there, the rain was irrelevant. When Fairfax wakes up, I'm gonna have to send him to someone else. If you smiled at all following him around the office, you should visit the Marissa's Bunny website, and see what you can do to help out! We're gonna miss the little guy... but really, I think I saw enough of the dark side of plush toys tonight. (Louis Wu 01:59:22 UTC)

No Double XP weekends for a bit
Your Halo playing has to take place this weekend without a double experience playlist (unless you want to count Ranked Big Team Battle) - and this is true for next weekend, too. Why? It has to do with the release of the September Matchmaking update, which is coming in late September, in time for Title Update 2, instead of at the START of the month, as usually happens. Sounds like it'll be worth the wait, though... (Louis Wu 19:36:35 UTC)

Halo Wars Reveal becomes clearer
When we mentioned the most recent Monthly Update from the Halo Wars team, we pointed out that the scrambled pics they included would probably clear up over time, as they did the last time this style was used. A few days ago, a thread opened on the Halo Wars forum to discuss the changes (which have indeed started). Yesterday, SteelersX07 brought the news to our forum. (Apparently, there's an older thread on a Bungie.net group forum, but it's closed to non-members.) So far, it looks like the beginnings of an air field... (Louis Wu 13:30:50 UTC)

Halo 3 Asset-O-Matic BETA
gothi wrote to us about an application he's been working on that scans your game history for games with assets (video clips and pictures), and then lets you browse them easily. What an amazingly useful tool! Unfortunately, it's PC-only, but it works fine under Parallels on OSX. There's a short FAQ to help you get past some of the biggest problems folks are running into. it's still processing my games (it's 354 in, after aabout 5 minutes), but I loaded up the example DB to see what it looks like, and I must say, for folks looking for screenshots or clips from games they were in, this is MUCH easier than scrolling through the list on B.net!

PAX Begins, Coverage Slows
And... that's it for me today. PAX starts in a few hours, and it's time to get moving! Enjoy your Friday, there are still some HBO folks on duty if you have news, I think. (We'll certainly have a wrap-up article or two, but I'm not bringing a laptop to the show.) If you're IN Seattle, check out the schedule for the Bungie Booth. Tons of activities!

28 Weeks Later
In late July, Jamie98s released a trailer for 28 Weeks Later, his reconstruction of the movie of the same name in the Halo 3 engine. Today, he's proud to announce the full version - a monster film, 43 minutes long, weighing in at a bit over 350 mb in downloadable format. Here's Jamie's description:
"Six months after the rage virus was inflicted on the population of Great Britain, the US Army helps to secure a small area of London for the survivors to repopulate and start again. The main focus is on a father reuniting with his 2 children, whose mother was infected by the virus."
43 minutes might seem absurdly long for a Halo machinima, but Jamie cut half the movie to make it fit (though he did so in a way that kept the story fully understandable). It's an amazing piece of work; he's captured the tension and emotion of the original, while living within the confines of the Halo 3 environment. You can download it from our servers in either WMP9 format (366 mb) or QuickTime format (359 mb) - we rarely serve files this large, so I can't promise downloads won't be slow. If you don't want to wait, or you can't handle the larger version, Jamie98s should have a streaming version on his site at some point soon. Two thumbs up! (Louis Wu 14:54:28 UTC)

Top 10 Halo 3 Exterminations video
Hawty McBloggy found a 'Top 10 Halo 3 Exerminations' video on YouTube - quality is aweful, but the gameplay's pretty nice. Number four, especially - totally clutch play. (There are way more htan 10 here - the honorable mentions start about halfway through the film.) (Louis Wu 11:17:06 UTC)

Halo Wars in Germany - a dev view
The Halo Wars website points you towards a developer diary written by Bill Jackson, one of Ensemble's crew at the Leipzig Games Convention in Germany - it can give you a sense of how those guys are spending a typical day at the convention, and how Halo Wars is being received. (While you're there, you can see a short piece on the new box art unveiled yesterday.) Update: Looks like there are three new screenshots of the game over at TeamXbox, as well.

In-Game Portraits, Made to Order
You might remember last week there was a mention of Project Pangea, in which The Handmade Hero was building portrait screenshots of those who asked. He was kind enough to build one for me - I hadn't realized I WANTED one, but the final result is actually very nice. (Bungie.net is really iffy right now, so if that link doesn't work, try it later.) If you like what you see, contact him! (Louis Wu 17:17:23 UTC)

We've mentioned an upcoming project from Dream053 a couple of times (in April and May) - he's back again, with a third audio clip, and again, it shows quite a bit of promise. If you want to follow along with development, they've started up a website. (Louis Wu 14:36:17 UTC)

Fun with Screenshots
Hawty McBloggy has a couple of fun collections for you. On her main blog, you'll find "You're Doing It Really, Really Wrong" - this is a set of screenshots that should make you smile, assuming you haven't burned out on this internet meme. (Oddball and Intimidation were two I hadn't seen before, and got chuckles out of me, but there are lots of great shots.) Over at I <3 Halo 3 Screenshots is a new project - Halo Movie Scenes. Recreating classic movie posters, using the Halo 3 screenshot functionality and a LOT of creativity... this rocks. The examples up right now have all been created by Predator5791 - but there's plenty of room for other players. Go see what you can add!
