Data Jacking?
Um... I'm not sure I understand all that's going on here... but some weird stuff showed up on our forum this morning. Before you go there, though - visit This Spartan Life; it seems to start there (check the front page, then visit their episodes page). (Louis Wu 11:58:57 UTC) (permalink)
Blomkamp's Second Short Surfaces
Avateur (and Menelven) point out that over at Gamersyde, there's a shakeycam version of Neill Blomkamp's second Halo live-action short. This one shows combat between ODSTs and Brutes, and I'm guessing it was shown (and filmed) at Leipzig this week. As with most footage being broadcast from the show, this probably doesn't qualify as a 'leak' - but I'd bet that it'll be available in true digital format in the very near future; you might want to wait to enjoy it at the highest possible quality. Your call. (It's possible that you're not seeing the whole thing, either; it ends very abruptly. This might be intentional - or it might just be that only part was shown, or recorded.)

1Up Halo 3 Flood Starts
1Up.com has begun its nearly month-long Halo 3 intense coverage - the first three items are up now. A new screenshot gallery (with a great collection of new shots), a hands-on preview of Halo 3's fourth campaign mission, and a blog from editor Jeremy Parish, looking back on Halo's roots, round out the first day's content. Nice! Thanks, darthbob (and doober187). (Louis Wu 10:38:21 UTC) (permalink)
IMAX show continues to wow
More writeups of the IMAX Halo 3 showing Tuesday night - from professional journalists at The Seattle Times and fansites like GruntsRUs. Everybody loved it! (Louis Wu 10:31:50 UTC) (permalink)
Another clip roundup
More footage, mostly from Leipzig: Daily Motion and TeamXbox both have different sizes of the same IGN video - a nice multiplayer montage. In fact, Oliver from Halo Base (in Germany) sent us a link that contains all the clips they've found so far - go ahead and check it out if you think you're missing something.

RvB thoughts
Computerworld has a look back on Rooster Teeth's effect on machinima, triggered by the fact that the Season Five DVD is now available (my preordered copy arrived last week) - go read, then (if you don't already have it) go buy! (Louis Wu 09:58:54 UTC) (permalink)
Uprising - now on shelves
A lot of people pointed out that we neglected to mention that Marvel's first episode of Halo: Uprising went on sale yesterday. Consider yourself informed. (Feedback on our forum - full of spoilers, so don't read this unless you're done with the issue - has been positive.) Stories like this one, from the Elmira (NY) Star-Gazette, will show up a lot this week. (Louis Wu 09:50:58 UTC) (permalink)
