A Halo Birthday
Hehe - last weekend, I attended the birthday party of Miguel Chavez's oldest son with my kids (Rafi turned 10). The party had a Halo theme... but I didn't put up any pics or a writeup because... well, because Rafi is 10. The cake, however, was designed by Gruntsbane, over at Halo Babies, and Mig sent THEM a bunch of pics... so go check it out! (Louis Wu 22:09:43 UTC)

Halo Theme - Live, on Video
Wow, very cool. This is the first clip I've seen of the Video Games Live production of the Halo music - visit this page, as of right now it's the first 'Live Performance' (a few down from the top). Short film, but makes me want to see that show! Thanks to Schedonnardus for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 21:01:07 UTC)

Name That Tune
Video Games Live, the concert tour that was planned for this summer and will now kick off at the end of October, has a 'Name That Tune' game online to show you some of the music they play. (Halo's main theme, of course, is among the pieces.) Give it a whirl - and check out the tour dates while you're there! (Louis Wu 10:52:43 UTC)

Baby Love
Halo Babies has a new strip up today (of course they do - it's Friday)... but they also have a new contest: come up with a Red vs Blue-themed plot for a Halo Babies strip, you could win a copy of the Red vs Blue Season 3 DVD. Nice! (For those keeping track, 'A Changing of Hats' contains minor Halo 2 spoilers.) Hey, and while you're there... there's another Humpday-like writeup for a clan match between HaloBabies and the Mob of Angry Peasants. (Louis Wu 13:37:20 UTC)

Another Halo Tab
Over on the Power Tab Archive, Shadowsniper689 found a guitar tab for a Halo theme that wasn't used in the game (but is available on Bungie.net). I can't read .ptb files, and there's no link to the original, so your guess is as good as mine - but if you're looking for tabbed Halo music, you can add this to your collection. Update: Billy clarifies which piece we're talking about. Thanks, Billy! (Louis Wu 19:14:06 UTC)

Game Development talk
Chaos Recon pointed out a presentation, in PDF format, called 'Research in Game Development: Halo 2' - it looks at how different problems can be attacked, and what some of the pros and cons of each technique might be. It looks like this was presented at the Microsoft Research Asia Theme Workshop 2005, in Beijing, this past May, by someone named Hao Chen. (I don't know exactly who this is - the server hosting the bios for the conference isn't up at the moment.) A good read, for anyone interested in the tech behind the eye candy! Update: oops - Hao Chen is listed in the Halo 2 credits under 'Engineering' - my bad! (Louis Wu 22:44:42 UTC)

Zelda mod alpha available
Dennis Powers, of GearboxGameZone, writes to point out that Jahrain, the creator of the Zelda mod we've mentioned a few times (for Halo Custom Edition), has released a 'pre-alpha' version of a single level.
The map, Hyrule Field, features a Zelda biped instead of the Spartan and includes new weaponry in the Zelda theme, a working and mountable animated horse and a large interesting landscape. Although there are still some Halo style weapons and a large "bug list" this early release will give players a taste of what is to come.
You can grab a copy from GGZ. (Louis Wu 15:08:01 UTC)

Halo Themed Recital
Anelf3 submitted an audio recording of a piano recital he performed a couple of weeks ago - his subject material was the Halo theme (figured out on his own, rather than read from published material). The MP3 is 2.7 mb, and just under 3 minutes long. Give it a listen! (Louis Wu 15:09:17 UTC)

Halo Armegeddon
There's a Worms-based Halo Flash movie at Newgrounds - that is, a movie showing a Worms-like battle, but with Halo-themed worms. Well done, but a bit slow. Thanks, Eww. (Louis Wu 11:47:43 UTC)

Mjolnir Mix, by the Video Game Pianist
Ross Mills pointed out a website called 'Video Game Pianist' - it's some really nice piano work focused on (wait for it) video game music. There's a really nice version of the Halo 2 Theme (Mjolnir Mix) - but the only way to get it on the website is to download an entire CD's worth of video game music (70 mb or so). This may appeal to many of you (almost certainly DOES appeal to many of you)... but it's overkill for those who just want to hear the Halo piece. We've gotten permission from Martin Leung, the Video Game Pianist, to host the theme here; 2.7 mb, MP3 format. If you like what you hear, explore the site! (Louis Wu 01:50:16 UTC)

A home for your toys
WOW. If you're a Halo action figure collector, you want to know about these guys - Out of Reach Constructions, an Australian firm specializing in Halo-themed display structures for your action figures. They ain't cheap (the two existing structures are A$160 plus shipping and handling, with four new prototypes on the way)... but they're beautiful. The site contains photos of the various models, plus info about the manufacturing process. I want! Thanks to Halo Planet for the heads-up on this. (Louis Wu 21:51:46 UTC)

How much is too much?
prometheus added a new article on Halo Machinima to his Halo-themed blog, Tru7h and Rationalization. Is the field growing too crowded? Sound off! (He's also posted a link on our forum, so you can chime in there, as well.) (Louis Wu 14:27:20 UTC)

This one comes in a 3-pack; you get a Midi file, a .mus file (I don't know what can read this on a Mac), and a PDF. Go grab it! (Louis Wu 13:19:35 UTC)

Follow Tab
The Se7enth Prophet found a tab for Incubus' Follow on powertabs.net, and transcribed it on our forum. (The original is a Power Tab Editor file.) If you're a guitar player, give this a shot! Update: He's added the Halo and Halo 2 themes, and Blow Me Away from Breaking Benjamin. (Louis Wu 18:10:48 UTC)

Busy Bungie Bees
Wow. When they're not running around for PR, those Bungie boys are busy. Two new articles for you over on Bungie.net (since I left for lunch, even): there are 3 new themes to customize the look of your Group pages (I'm pretty partial to Halo Babies, myself), and they've got a link up to GamePro's Reader's Choice Awards, now accepting votes (Halo 2 is up for Best Combat/Shooting Game and Game of the Year). Go read! (Louis Wu 19:23:08 UTC)

Happy Holidays... from the fans.
A number of people sent along holiday wishes - XLNC created a new HUDless shot, Dennis Powers put together his own Halo CE Christmas Video (broadband and dialup), and Hawaiian Pig put up a nice RvB-themed image. I'm sure there are others that i managed to miss - if I find them, I'll update this news post. (Louis Wu 15:35:06 UTC)
