I Wanted to Play Halo 3, But Then I Got High

ForgePorn I can sort of understand because, hell, people have been drawing dicks on everything since the time of cave paintings. But marijuana? Don't kids draw on desks anymore?

Bongs and bud are now a solid second place to bewbs when it comes to building illicit-themed Halo 3 levels, as this gallery shows. Although, some of the pipes do look a little phallic. You'd think that by now, there'd be enough content that Bungie could develop a "tube-shape connected to a bulbous-base" recognition heuristic. Although, to what end, who knows.

Adult Anime Drawings Forged in Halo 3

We've previously seen how Halo 3's Forge can be used as a canvas by the artistically included. And while the above image is certainly not the first "erotic" images made with Forge level editor by a damn sight. (Hey, give the plebs the ability to create, and you betcha, they'll whip up naughty bits!) But these are the first MAXIMUM RISKY Japanese anime-style ones we've seen — then again, we haven't exactly been looking. They, of course, were made by lining up weapons.

Hit the jump for the full image and another one. NSFW.

Most Unintentional Halo 3 Betrayal Falls From Sky

Mark Wilson — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 15:00:00 MDT

Imagine Master Chief hanging out with Chicken Little. A Warthog drops from the sky and kills Master Chief. And Chicken Little is left with nothing to do but spend hours reviewing tape, discovering just who made the sky fall on our lovable hero/Little's fiance. Wait...was Chicken Little a girl? Was Master Chief a boy? Can we get some confirmation on this stuff before proceeding with the lame metaphor?

Thanks Jason!

Halo 3's Forge Gets Filtered

Enterprising map makers and modders will have a handful of new toys to play with in Halo 3's Forge creation tool when the Legendary Map Pack ships. And while new scaffolding and tweaked shipping containers may get you moist, it's the new suite of visual filters that may excite Halo fans most. The latest Bungie weekly update reveals the latest Forge improvements, including funky and fresh filters that will give your map a "juicy", "gloomy" or "old timey" look. That's great and all, Bungie boys, but what we need is the ability to generate lens flare under any lighting condition. We require massive amounts of lens flare!

Halo 3 Dance Of Self Termination

Holiday depression getting you down? Well if you are going to take yourself out, best to go out in a memorable, virtual fashion. Falling off the side of a level? Bah. Hugging a plasma grenade? You're getting warmer. Take a lesson from Evlmidget25 here, who ends his brief virtual life in a graceful, arcing dance of plasma and person, finally meeting in a coup de grâce that brings a tear to your eye. A ballet of self-destruction, if you will. Thanks NapalmBallad for sending the link, and possibly changing the way I play Halo 3. You can't kill me if I kill me first!

Using Halo 3's Forge As A Canvas

Asking your girlfriend to join you in wedded bliss via the Halo 3 Forge tool is sweet and all, but it's cloyingly so to one who has zero faith in the institution of marriage. We're far more impressed by more egocentric endeavors, like spending the hours necessary to create a self-portrait in Forge, especially one that looks as challenging as the one above. The creator writes: "I was thinking that an image could be created if objects were placed in the foreground, middle ground and background and then viewed from a specific area that would converge the objects to make the image. If done correctly, the image would appear vertical and 3D as opposed to lying on the ground." Done correctly indeed!

New Halo 3 Vidoc - Cinema Paradiso

Mike Fahey — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 14:30:46 MDT

Here I thought I was going to get away with a day of no Halo 3 news, but Bungie went and released their latest vidoc explains the why and how of the saved films feature, which I've a feeling is going to be the most entertaining feature of Halo 3 for me along with Forge. Seeing as I suck at multiplayer, I'll just spend my time in the game trying to setting myself up to die humorously while recording it for posterity's sake.
