Halo movie - speculation returns
Don was the first to let us know about an article on Yahoo! Games - it's another summary of games that might be up on the big screen in the forseeable future. Halo's on the list, though the project is currently in limbo. Yahoo is pessimistic about the chances that a decent flick coming out of the franchise... (Louis Wu 10:39:37 UTC)

TTL Tuesday - it's that time again
Today's Tied the Leader update from XerxdeeJ mentions some, but not all, of their new content. In addition to a genteel challenge issued to anyone who hasn't faced the TTL Gunslingers, there's a piece describing an AP article on gaming as social networking; deeJ was interviewed for it, and has quotes in it. (It's definitely the beginnings of a new type of interaction, and it's interesting to see how Halo is participating at the start.) And there's a reminder that Gamertag Radio has made its nominations for this year's Xbox Community Awards (TTL is up for Team Community of the Year). Go read! (Louis Wu 16:45:37 UTC)

HUDless screens rock.
argodaemon let us know that the Halouvre has a boatload of new content, built up over the past few months. If you haven't been recently, you haven't been! (Louis Wu 18:23:09 UTC)

Complications
TTL Demag0gue has posted Chapter Two, Part Two of his Reclaimer comic - he seems to have shifted completely away from the filtered look of his earlier artwork; this one is straight screenshots. Viper's about to find something... big. (Louis Wu 16:54:45 UTC)

A bit more explosive than the original
InAmb3rClad noticed a pretty cool screenshot someone (okay, novaBung0307) created on Sandtrap. Amazing what you can do with guns and boxes! (Louis Wu 12:00:53 UTC)

New screens of McFarlane Figures
Spawn.com has a whole bunch of new screenshots of the final McFarlane Series 1 action figures - thanks, P1 Groupe Italia. (Some of the shots are older - some are not. None are dated.) (Louis Wu 17:39:16 UTC)

More Screenshot Art
AusQB posted a screenshot compilation on YouTube - this wouldn't really be news, except that he's actually got a Bungie.net group, Ar7is7s of Halo, devoted to cool shots. (The screenshot compilation is pretty well-done, but the shots themselves suffer tremendously from being forced into YouTube's tiny, overcompressed format.) Swing by the B.net group if you're interested in joining other folks excited about making artistic Halo 3 screens! (Louis Wu 16:08:43 UTC)

A pretty elaborate suicide
Heh - Ice V spent considerable effort setting up a Rube Goldberg-style suicide on The Pit; the saved film doesn't seem to be available, but the YouTube version's still pretty cool. There's a forum thread started by a friend of his at Bungie.net, for comments - thanks, InAmb3rClad. (Louis Wu 15:33:23 UTC)

DLC, with a Bungie Spin
If you missed the initial announcement of the upcoming Halo Downloadable Content, or the followup screenshots, you should swing by Bungie.net, and read this story. Actually, even if you DIDN'T miss that other stuff, you should read the story. A large chunk of it is a Q&A with Chris Barrett, the creative director of DLC and Steve Cotton, the DLC design lead, and it's a pretty interesting read. It'll give you a pretty good sense of what to expect come December 11 (or next spring, should you choose to wait for these maps to be free). (Louis Wu 23:11:33 UTC)

If you're a Halo Custom Edition player, grab these puppies and give 'em a try! (The release announcement contains screenshots and a movie, so you can see a little of what you're getting.)

Halo to X-Plane - now Bigger
Mid7night returns to X-Plane Halo building - and adds the UNSC Marathon-class Cruiser, and the Covenant Assault Carrier to his fleet. The screenshots don't show very much - but based on his previous work, I'd say these are probably pretty cool! If you have X-Plane, go grab 'em. (Louis Wu 16:10:01 UTC)

Scanner psych
The Boston Globe has an article that suggests that playing games like Halo 3 increases your ability to spot threats quickly - and would be useful training for airport security screeners. How many of them would protest that training regimen, do you think? (Louis Wu 16:04:01 UTC)

He's a hollow shell of a man.
LX925 fell into one of the generators on Snowbound... and lost his limbs. (A larger version of this screen can be found in his screenshots collection on B.net.) (Louis Wu 16:02:05 UTC)

I guess Bungie forgot the safety.
So last week, we got an email from omfg a cat69 about a funky death he caused; after he died, he dropped his shotgun... which went off when it hit the ground, and killed his opponent. He sent a link to his fileshare, but I passed on the news, because I'm afraid that we're getting too many of these kinds of things these days. He posted it at B.net a few days later, with links to his fileshare, and a YouTube version... and got lots of good responses. (Several people pointed the thread out to us, but again, I passed.) Well... I'm not passing any more, because now this sort of death has its very own medal, courtesy of Blackstar. (It was actually created because of a thread started by Evlmidget25 - I guess omfg a cat69's experience isn't unique. But if I'm gonna front-page the occurrence, I'm sure gonna mention him...)

Artistic Halo, Revisited
We've mentioned a couple of sites devoted to artistic Halo 3 screenshots - yankeyhotel maintains abstrakt, and TTL Demag0gue maintains Mendicant Bias. This morning, MasterNoob stopped by to say that he's doing it, too; check out his gallery on Bungie.net for some cool shots! (Louis Wu 13:53:06 UTC)

Autographed Halo 3 Legendary Edition, for Charity
Hawty McBloggy found a pretty cool copy of the Halo 3 Legendary Edition on eBay - this one has been signed by Master Chief (Steve Downes), Cortana (Jen Taylor), and Sergeant Johnson (David Scully). 100% of the proceeds will go to the Adrienne Shelly Foundation, supporting women filmmakers. Starting bid is $100, and you've got a bit under a week to make up your mind. A cool collectible, and a good cause - what's not to like? (Louis Wu 12:09:58 UTC)

Helljumper launches
grantix is starting up a screenshot-based comic, in the style of Section 3 and Reclaimer. I find it pretty hard to read (you have to expand each panel separately to read the text), but it's early yet. (Louis Wu 11:40:02 UTC)
