"I AM UR BOSS..."

"The foundations of Master Chief and the Arbiter's machinima production company have been constructed as well as the script for Master Chief's film, but tempers flare when Master Chief begins to prioritize his own power and status over the important things about the filmmaking that attracted Arbiter to the project in the first place."

A Music Video/Montage of Halo 3.


This synchronized music video montage is set nicely to the music.  Not necessarily a showcase of player prowess, instead this set takes clips from File Shares and weaves them into the lyrical narrative.  Sound interesting?  Video below the brief description.

"This is my first ever Music Video/Montage. I made it using films from my Friend's File Shares, and is most likely the first of many Halo 3 Music Videos that I'll be making. I take requests and recommendations for Music Videos."

These guys utilized the embedded annotations over at YouTube to craft a really brief Halo 3 skill test.  Think of this as a couple of pages ripped out of a Choose Your Own Adventure.  While the concept isn't really expanded on to great length here, it's probably for the best that this is kept short and sweet.

You'll just have to read the ramblings below and make sense of it yourself.  We're actually at the character limit.  Seek help, Adam.

"Hi Bungie!

How is the peoples? I've got and new site theme and Episode 21 here, of Chaos Theory that is, and it's ready for the picking. In an attempt to catch a few more eyes I'm posting it later in the week, but you can always expect each episode out on Tuesdays, as was this last one. So, here's the new one. I spent about as much time making the logo as I did writing the episode, so you should enjoy, or I'll hold myself hostage or something.

This week in SusskindWorld™ I had the honor of being part of "Jim Stitzel's Guest Comic Week™" over at Reclaimercomic.com™ , and it seemed to get some pretty "Positive Reviews™." But now is not the time for The Cavalcade and Near-miss explosions. Now is the time for explosions that hit their targets, like the faces of the characters in Chaos Theory. Teeth are overrated anyway, that and dignity. This one was actually finished the day it came out (Tuesday), which basically makes it the closest I've pulled to my deadline ever in the series' many month life.

Chaos Theory is coming to a close folks, those who don't know. I'm off perusing the internet trying to gather up enough of a following before the next project begins, but as far as the world of CT goes, your looking at the last 3 episodes, followed by an Epilogue, in the coming weeks. Come enjoy while it's still in season. You don't want to get in on this later, cause it's like fruit, you know? Like... It gets all ripe and gross, like something that sat out for too long during the summer. OR MILK! Milk gets ugly when it's old! Just like Chaos Theory... Yeaaaaaa... *sigh*

Under threat of being forced to spend more than 20 seconds (my personal record) on lolcats.com, I've been told to mention the following: Halo3webcomics.com is glad to have our three new members to the webcomics team:

Broken
Rebellion
ODST

So as Louis Wu would say: GET READING!

Stay Beautiful everyone, I know I will,

This "minitage" features Dutchy, some great matchmaking gameplay, and a track with explicit lyrics.  Once again, if you're easily offended, steer clear.  Cut in HD and clocking in at just over three minutes, this one's easily digestible.  Give it a look.

Kamiik's "Float On" isn't the most flashy montage you'll ever lay eyes on, but it nicely paced, lightly edited, and set to a soundtrack that won't have you relying on a hearing aid later in life.  If you're into a more relaxing montage, give this one a watch.
