Data Transfer
ZZoMBiE13 is proud of the latest episode of Another Halo Comic Strip - the first strip of 2008 also marks the longest he's ever stuck with a webcomic. I know I speak for many when I say I hope there are many more! (Louis Wu 20:47:37 UTC) (permalink)
Joystiq's Top 10 of 2007
Joystiq posted their Top 10 Games of 2007 - Halo 3 came in at number 6. (Before you get all upset about that, understand that they felt it was the one game you should have with you on a desert island. It lost points because it was the third go-round, not for anything else.) The whole list is nicely justified - go read! (Louis Wu 20:38:46 UTC) (permalink)
A Pro Gamer's Wishlist
Hawty McBloggy has relinquished control of her blog for a day (or a post) - there's a guest strip from -S-, aka IX Fall0ut XI, on what the pro gaming community wants. I wish there'd been less unsubstantiated rationalizing (I don't know why people can't just say "this is what I want", but instead need to say "this is what we all want, and we are a huge group"), but it's a nice summary of how the pro community differentiates itself from the non-pro community. (I don't want to call non-pros 'casual gamers', because I know PLENTY of hardcore competitive gamers that don't think this way - I'm not sure there's any way to split things comfortably in a binary fashion.) You don't have to agree with it, but it's an interesting read. (Louis Wu 20:20:19 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Spitfire
deftangel found a video which appears on YouTube, GameVideos, and Mythica.org. It's a montage - but it's not like any montage I've ever seen. It was created by UnfilteredNoise (his YouTube handle)/krushedNsorted (his GameVideos/1UP handle), and although the music grates strongly on my nerves, the camerawork is amazing. It's not about awesome snipes, or triple kills, or unreal sticks - it's about Halo gameplay, shown in such a way that you just want to pick up a controller and start playing. Go watch. (The YouTube version is crap; download the higher-res version from Mythica or GameVideos.) (Louis Wu 19:22:47 UTC) (permalink)
Larry The Marine, now at HB
Halo Babies hasn't been in the news much in the past year - but they're back, and launching a new comic strip, Larry the Marine. Swing by to check it out, along with an interview with the strip's author! (Louis Wu 18:47:25 UTC) (permalink)
New Year's Wishes from a Regular
RVideo created a really nice image showing Epitaph... from way outside the gameplay portion of the level. He's included the raw version (before perspective correction), as well. What a nice New Year's present! (Louis Wu 18:45:04 UTC) (permalink)
Sleightacular 2007
pooberry wrote up a travelogue of his experience at a LAN event that occurred here last weekend - sounds like he had a pretty good time. There are pictures, too. (Louis Wu 18:35:53 UTC) (permalink)
