I Wemember Wanda
I love it when a plan comes together. At least, that's what it SEEMS like is happening with Halo Action Figure Theater - Elnea let us know that HAFT 133 went live last night, and things are STARTING to look like they have a shape. (She's also got some interesting background info on the lengths she had to go to in order to get the shot...) (Louis Wu 18:34:11 UTC)

Recovery One, Part 1 - For Everyone
Back in November (well, starting in late October, I guess), Rooster Teeth posted a machinima series on Xbox Live Marketplace and on their website, for sponsors - Recovery One is a four-part series that follows up on Out of Mind, and expands the RvB universe. (It's considerably darker than the standard RvB fare.) It's now available for free for all on their website - if you haven't seen it, go watch Part 1! (Sponsors should visit, too - Director's Commentary for Part 1 has been posted, as well.) (Louis Wu 13:32:08 UTC)

Fyreballin'.
Bungie played their Halo Humpday Challenge against the crew from Fyreball, a startup founded by a number of Ex-Bungie employees. They planned to whip the Fyreballers soundly... and the plan worked out. It's not all bad news, though - read the writeup for details on how you can snag a suit of the elusive Recon armor, simply by helping out the Fyreball Beta! Thanks to LackOfKnowledge for the heads-up.

Where did that orb come from?
Last night, Pixellated also wondered about the origins of 343 Guilty Spark - and the thread brought out a number of potential inspirations for the character. Check them all out - see which ones you think might have given Bungie some ideas! (The video that Pixellated started with is 10 minutes long; you can see the two relevant clips in my first response to him. For the other suggestions, you'll have to navigate on your own.)

2D to 3D - or vice versa
pete_the_duck decided to see if he could map out the floor plan of Ghost Town, based solely on the three screenshots Bungie released yesterday. According to a Bungie employee, he did pretty well! Check it out. (Louis Wu 21:05:25 UTC)

Ghost Town - coming soon
wolfman was first to post on our forum with news of Bungie's upcoming Ghost Town map - Bungie's posted screenshots and an interview with the guys who built it. I'm having trouble getting a feel for the layout from the existing shots... but MAN it's beautiful. Check it out! (Louis Wu 23:16:52 UTC)

A note to a friend
As per tradition, today (it's still the 15th in my corner of the world) we remember our good friend Brian Morden, aka *Ar-Isildur. Five years ago the evil that is cancer, specifically Ewing's Sarcoma won the battle and took this 19 year old young man. But not the war. Never. Sign the guestbook if you feel moved to do so. Or you can post on a thread Skav started a few days back.
I'm now heading out to meet some old friends for a few drinks and to hear some bands. They don't know it yet, but I'm gonna tell them about my brave friend, and what he, in his youth, was able to teach this old man about perseverance and faith. And love. Peace to you Brian, peace to you, brutha.

Master Chief: Pwned Life: Episode 2
tb2571989 pointed out thaqt AxS CALiBER has made another episode of 'Master Chief: Pwned Life' - it's starting to feel less like an homage to DigitalPh33r's Master Chief Sucks at Halo, and more like a derivative work. You might enjoy it, though.

A community of builders
Xavier dropped us a note to let us know what was going on over at the 405th, in the field of Halo armor and sculpture.
- Favos has built his own Master Chief figure out of Apoxie and polymer clay. He looks great!
- BishopX and Slavefive have been hard at work on an assault rifle - check out the pictures in the 'Weaponry' section of their website. (Poke around in other sections, too.)
- Sigma-LS is building a Hayabusa helmet - fantastic start!
- He also finished up a CQB helmet - you can follow production progress (and see videos of the final product) in this thread.
- We mentioned Belakor's Recon helmet back in December; progress continues (check the whole thread), and there are pictures of the helmet in its latest iteration, along with some Recon armor to go with it, on page 7.
Awesome stuff - if you're interested in armor and sculpture, the 405th's the place to hang out! (Louis Wu 12:19:20 UTC)

Seeing Double
Pointless Lists has posted a series of stereoscopic Halo 3 screenshots, using the technique put forth by Kato a few months ago. If you've got 3D glasses, take a look! Update: whoa. Guess I should have checked our forum, first - Mike Carson (the guy behind Pointless Lists) mentioned this there about an hour ago. (Louis Wu 23:32:44 UTC)

She Less-Than-Three's Halo Screenshots
Hawty McBloggy has been working on a Halo 3 Screenshots blog for a little while; she's dropped a few hints in her main blog, but hasn't wanted too much press before now, because she wanted to make sure she had something to show you before it went 'public'. Cat's out of the bag, though - Xorian stopped by our forum with words of praise... and Hawty says she's ready, so go look. She's planning on adding five a day, collected both from Bungie.net and from her email. There are some amazing shots there! (Louis Wu 18:10:30 UTC)

PoA Floorplan - in Excel
This was submitted a LOONNG time ago - but for some reason, I never got around to posting it. Last June, OdieTurbo sent along an Excel file which shows off the floorplan of the Pillar of Autumn, created in conjunction with some fan fiction. I don't think I'd have ever considered Excel as a creation tool for something like this... but it's a great job! The Excel file is quite small (67K), but if you don't have Excel, and would like to see what was done here, I've taken a screenshot of the first floor sheet (shrunk a bit to fit on most screens).

Halo 3-inspired Xbox 360 Laptop - I want one.
Black Six was the first to point out a new Xbox 360 Elite Laptop from Ben Heck - he found it at Engadget. It's Halo-newsworthy because the case design was inspired by Halo 3, and the demo movie uses Halo 3 to show off the screen. Amazing stuff! (Louis Wu 16:42:16 UTC)

The Halo Shoe - from Adidas this time
Ross Mills pointed out a blog post at Complex.com that looks at a new, ultra-limited run of Halo-themed shoes, created by Adidas for Gil Arenas. ("Ultra-limited" means 100 pairs, total. No, you're not getting one.) Narcogen mentioned this as well, though he found it at Kotaku (who, in turn, got it from Complex). This means different things to different people - read each site's spin (and toss your own comments into the thread Ross started). (Louis Wu 13:45:43 UTC)

Working Class HALO - reproducing gameplay in comics
mrsmiley, over at Halo Babies, pointed out Working Class HALO, a site run by a bunch of guys that love Halo - and express it by creating screenshot-based comics of their matchmaking exploits. Take a look! (Louis Wu 13:28:18 UTC)
