Spriggs, Episode 12
Bradley Mileski let us know that we've been lax about keeping you informed about new releases from the Spriggs crew - they released Episode 12 Part A in late August, and Episode 12 Part B a couple of days ago. I'm starting to wonder if they haven't lost track of what they were aiming for when they began... but the videos are up, if you'd like to watch. (Louis Wu 13:37:46 UTC)

All The World's Problems
I wasn't going to get to Halo news for a little while today; it's a busy morning. However, Bryan Simon just sent along his newest ode to Bungie - this one is called "All The World's Problems" and it shows how Halo can solve everything. (Well, maybe not global warming.) As usual, if you're interested in the MP3, you can grab it from us (3.7 mb). Always good to start your day with a smile! (Louis Wu 11:54:15 UTC)

The Usual Suspects, Halo Style
chromeratt stopped by to point out a poster he'd created, using Halo figures to reproduce a promo piece for The Usual Suspects. It was inspired by the Halo Movie Scene project (which is going amazingly well, by the way - go look), but doesn't really qualify since it's a compilation shot. That's not to take anything away from the poster - it's a great job! (Louis Wu 18:55:56 UTC)

Mrs Doublefire and his amazing technicolor crates
Eastbeast314 dug up some blog posts written by Mrs Doublefire, who started out in the Halo:CE community and was eventually hired by Bungie, discussing the work he'd done on Halo 3. These posts are a year old now - but I'd never seen them before, and they're a fascinating glimpse into the world of environment building. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 18:39:16 UTC)

Metalingus627 was the first to let us know of an article at Addict Gaming with leaked images of Halo Wars brutes. Interesting discussions in that thread... and 2900d4u started another thread with more pics. Go see what you think! (Louis Wu 17:25:51 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue let us know that Reclaimer 87 is now online - things are starting to make more sense as he jumps back to Ferial. While you're there, you might want to read up about the First Official Reclaimer Contest (scroll down below the comic) - create a cool comic, win cool schwag. Noice! (Louis Wu 17:21:00 UTC)

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!
