Halo: The Aquarium
Jan/100
Flickr user Tom “Givintats” Keller has created a Halo-themed aquarium fit for a squad of cosplaying goldfish wearing cod-pieces. The scene includes hunters, marines, a warthog and some pretty blue lights that bring the Forerunner architecture to life. The scene is maintained through the use of putty and wire.
We’re certainly impressed — wonder if he does little fishbowl commissions? Check out the full set on Flickr.

PSA: Army of Two: The 40th Day demo on XBL
Dec/090
A reminder from your friendly neighborhood Joystiq: The Army of Two: The 40th Day demo promised earlier this week is now available on Xbox Live Marketplace. Weighing in at a less-than-diminutive two gigabytes, the demo allows players to try out a part of the first level of the game. And, since Army of Two kind of depends on cooperative play, the demo thankfully offers both offline and online co-op for two players.
The demo may or may not also contain bro hugs. We hope it does.

How Do Brits Like to Be Green?
Nov/090
How do Brits like to be green, and what green behaviors do they still avoid?
That’s what a new survey by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER), and the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) is showing us by examining the environmental actions and preferences of 100,000 British people from 40,000 households.
The findings presented below are the first from a new annual household survey in Britain named Understanding Society. The environmental topics are one subset of the whole survey, which also examines the “working lives, relationships, health, finances, neighbourhoods, education, transport and more” of Brits.
What are the main findings thus far?

Xbox Dashboard update preview invites out this Friday
Oct/090
Major Nelson, Xbox Live guru and prolific tweeter, has announced that the first wave of notification emails for the Xbox 360 Dashboard update preview should go out this Friday. Incidentally, sign up is now closed, so no more applications will be accepted. The preview will give Xbox Live members a chance to check out the many new features in the upcoming Dashboard update, including Twitter, Facebook, Last.fm and the new Zune Video Marketplace. Also, as we reported earlier today, Microsoft has thrown in a preview of Halo Waypoint as well.
The preview program should roll out sometime next week. In the meantime, keep an eye on those inboxes!

Halo Waypoint detailed, captured on video

This way to the Waypoint gallery
With the Xbox 360 Fall Dashboard update preview kicking off today, Microsoft dropped some more details on Halo Waypoint, the Dashboard playpen for the Master Chief enthusiasts among you. The preview video – found after the break – walks you through some of the destination’s functionality, notably the “career system” which will track “in-game accomplishments across multiple Halo games.” Unsurprisingly, that career will be limited to the Xbox 360-released Halo games: Halo 3, Halo Wars, Halo 3: ODST, and “all Game Add-on content for those titles.” Oh, you beat Halo 2 in under 30 minutes? We’ll just have to take your word for it.
Halo Waypoint is being developed collaboratively by Microsoft’s internal Halo studio, 343 Industries, and Certain Affinity, the Austin-based developer (with some former Bungie staffers) behind Age of Booty. Waypoint will be available November 5 for both Xbox Live Gold and Silver members; however, come November 26 those Silver members will have to pony up for Live if they want to keep their Waypoint access. That’s a solid three weeks to determine if the exclusive Waypoint offerings – like the Nov. 7. preview of the “Halo Legends” anime anthology – are worth it. We imagine it will be for the hardcore Halo fan … but we’d assume they’ve already got a Gold account.

JBO: Joystiq Box Office, March 1 – March 5
Mar/100
Recommendation of the Week:
If you don’t know who Hayao Miyazaki is yet, then you need a crash course in gorgeous Japanese animated films with amazing storytelling. He’s like the Japanese Walt Disney, and Ponyo is his latest film. It’s a wonderful fantasy that was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid and he’s put his own particular spin on it. A young boy named Sosuke rescues a female goldfish, Ponyo, and they set off on an adventure together. The Blu-ray disc includes an ultra-crisp transfer of the film, which features hand-drawn animation, and a look inside Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli. We’re offering up five sets of Miyazaki films with this Joystiq Box Office, so read the rules at the bottom of the post to enter. Five winners will receive Ponyo on Blu-ray, and standard DVDs of My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service and Castle in the Sky. Truly magical filmmaking.
Read on after the break for the rest of our recommendations, and let us know what you’re watching!
