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)

Brotherhood: Teaser 03
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!

Steel Spartan Kotobukiya, Brute Stalker Reviews
IGN has posted a 'Preview' of the Halo 3 Steel Spartan variant of the Kotobukiya Bubble-shielded figure - mostly, it's just a lot of screenshots... but it's a great figure. And while we're doing action figure reviews, Superheroes Base has a writeup of the McFarlane Brute Stalker. (Louis Wu 12:48:39 UTC)

Jasman Halo 3 Plasma Pistols - a Kotaku Review
Last week, Kotaku posted an 'unboxing' of a set of Jasman Halo 3 Plasma Pistols - a series of photos showing off the goods. They followed it up yesterday with an 'Impressions' article, discussing the actual gameplay, and including a movie. If you're a laser tag afficionado, this seems to be a nice way to fold in your Halo interests, as well. Vash10 started a discussion thread on our forum, if you have comments.

Play Halo on the big screen
If you live in Vancouver, BC, you've got a chance to play Halo on the big screen, whenever you want. Apparently, Cineplex Entertainment is going to be offering two-hour blocks of time in their theaters, outside of normal movie viewing showtimes, when a full surround-sound theater can be rented for $179. Get 16 friends together, that's less than $11/person, for two hours of giganto-screen Halo 3 goodness.

Legendary Crest - now for sale
A few weeks ago, we mentioned a Legendary crest that link4044 was working on - he's finished it. You can see pretty amazing pictures of the work on the page we set up for him - and if you like what you see... he's selling it on eBay. Starting bid is $350, and I have to say... if I had the space, I'd be bidding. You've got about 2 days to decide. Update: The eBay link was yanked - the crest was sold to a member of the RvB community. Apologies for the confusion. (Louis Wu 01:35:45 UTC)

Project Pangea - giving back to the community
The Handmade Hero has made a surprisingly generous offer - he's agreed to create for anyone who asks a portrait screenshot showing off their favorite parts of the game. Read the forum post (and the website) for full details. Personally, I think it's going to be pretty hard to keep up with demand if a lot of people send in requests... but the idea is great!

Halo 3 still on top of LIVE activity chart
Major Nelson confirmed that Halo 3 is on top of the Xbox LIVE leaderboard, for the third straight week - this is starting to not be news any more. MyGEN has a piece looking at WHY Halo 3 is back on top - and that's more newsworthy. (This is actually the first of a two-part series... we'll let you know when Part 2 goes live.)

Sound of Cold Storage
tygron stopped by with a link to Silent Dragon11's 'Sound of Cold Storage' - a percussion piece made with gun clips and shots from Cold Storage. I wasn't expecting much - this sort of thing has been done before, and this one starts pretty slowly... but I stuck it out, and I liked it by the end. Go listen! (Louis Wu 19:44:06 UTC)

Harold Ryan discusses creativity and success
Very interesting read over at The Cut Scene - it's a pre-E3 interview with Bungie's Harold Ryan, discussing how Halo has fit into the functioning of the studio for the past few years. There are tons of little tidbits that should be fascinating to anyone who wonders how Bungie does what it does, or why it left Microsoft, or when it started planning that move. Thanks, mendicantbias00. (Louis Wu 19:10:38 UTC)

Fan Art: Cortana 2.0
Hawty McBloggy has decided to start highlighting some fan art - and her first choice is a doozy. 'Cortana 2.0' was done by EvilFlesh, from DeviantART, and it's a really attractive piece. Take a look! (Louis Wu 13:43:18 UTC)

Hot Spartan Pr0n
Just in case you thought Hawty McBloggy was a nice, sweet (bs) angel, she's posted an article that should quickly disabuse you of any such notion. Technically, it's safe for work - everyone in all the screenshots is fully clothed. However, her title ("Hot Spartan Pr0n") is definitely on-target. Don't follow the link if you're underage. Or if you do, pretend these are just screenshots of dead and dying multiplayer avatars, that happened to be caught in compromising poses. Or something. (Louis Wu 18:47:19 UTC)
