Halo 3’s Museum of Humanity

One of the things I love more than video games is the trailers that come before them. That said, I’ve just been looking over the ad campaign for Halo 3 and I must say, it’s one HELL of an ad campaign.

The ads focuses on a scaled-down version of one of the battles in Halo 3 that can be found in the fictitious Museum of Humanity. There, Major Pawel Czernek; UNSC, now retired, looks over the model battle and recalls what happened.

“We’d been fighting for a while…on the seventh day we ran out of ammo. We had to scavange all we could from the weapons that had been left behind. The pistols, shotgun rounds, a handful of gernades…”

The three ads that I have found all center around this kind of Remembrance Day theme which is powerful because it stirs something in you and almost inspires you until you realise that it’s all fictional because as cool as it would be, aliens aren’t at war with us.

here are the three ads. The first one is the interview with the retired major, the second is a montage of the carnage, and the third is a documentary on the making of the scaled down model with respect to those fallen:

As usual, Threadless.com delivers quality t-shirts with some of the most creative designs out there. I felt I had to post these two particular designs because I really couldn’t decide which to show you all.

Milk And Cheese (with an apology)

Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately folks. I’ve been feeling really under the weather. By way of apology, here’s a funny milk and cheese comic:

Things I Shouldn’t see in the Morning #1

Anime character costumes made by buildipstudiosigma that look like they’ve been ripped out of their shows and are walking around in the real world giggling and giving the peace sign to anyone with a camera. I sincerely hope I’m not the only one who feels a little scared by this. If I saw that walking towards me on the street, I would scream and hit it with something hard over and over again until it ceased to move. But then again, I have a lifesize doll phobia so I suppose that’s expected.

The Many Sketches of John Leech

From 1841 to his death in 1864, John Leech’s cartoons in Punch Magazine were a major feature. The archives contain over 600 of Leech’s sketches and more are still being added (the creators of the site have 2000 in total). I’ve always enjoyed editorial cartoons from different ages in history and these are a great example. Where else would you find an editorial that states that a good way to get away from a nagging wife is to inhale ether? And where else would you see the almost alien outfits worn in a cricket game?
