We received word from Adam Grumbo, of mjolnirarmor.com, of a new set of Mjolnir armor he made. There’s a post in his forum with all of the pictures to date, including a dog-kicking incident. Pretty slick.(KP 18:54:40 UTC)

TJ Baurain writes to tell us of Brothers in Arms, a campaign film by Jamie98 that you can check out over at GamingTV. He also reminded me that I forgot another film, Doomtage, that he’d mentioned earlier. Check ’em out!(mnemesis 18:53:18 UTC)

Rockslider wrote to tell us of a new feature to his site, a guide to unleashing your inner Grunt. Much of it is quite funny, some is quite strange and a few have a splendid combination of the two.(KP 18:37:06 UTC)

Not sure if you want to find out stuff about Halo 3 before the time is right? Bungie elder statesman and audio impresario Marty checks in on the forum with some helpful advice.(mnemesis 16:53:56 UTC)

A couple of videos that have come through the inbox this afternoon, listed here for you: Tomminator and Hellhawk made a commentary reel for the Weekend Boredom video from the Zune contest. ClearviewPro mentions that eternalscrappy has made what he clai…

The folks at Xbox Family have ‘intercepted’ an email from Microsoft detailing all of the marketing efforts going into the Halo 3 launch this fall. Go see what’s coming up, and learn a little about how companies attempt to build brand awareness. We’re…

I’d like to remind anyone who has Halo news for us that if you don’t send it to halo@bungie.org, it ain’t getting posted on the front page. We’re not mind readers, you know (or lwu’s personal email readers, as the case may be).(mnemesis 18:43:35 UTC)

Over at Xbox.com, there’s a promo page explaining the next project coming from the Rooster Teeth crew. It’s a commercial series; looks to be available for (probably paid) download from a variety of retail websites, starting on Tuesday. It’s a five-epi…

I might have been wrong about Halo coverage being kept up while I’m gone; there don’t seem to have been any updates since I left. Unfortunately, I was correct about my lack of internet access here – I have almost no connection at all, so I won’t be a…

Okay, I’m out of here for a while. The site is in the capable hands of the HBO grunt crew; If you have news you think they should be posting, send it to halo (at) bungie.org. Do NOT send anything to lwu (at) bungie.org that you want to have read in th…

Pinkuh created a pretty cool convention badge for a friend – check it out in her gallery here!(Louis Wu 08:13:02 UTC)

Wow, this is sort of odd – there’s a pretty nice new t-shirt design at Hot Topic; it celebrates the Brutes in Halo 3, and has some cool artwork. The odd part? It features Tartarus – the guy you killed in Halo 2. Thanks, Megan Stewart.(Louis Wu 07:31:1…

If you’ve got a long memory, you might remember Nick Singer as the guy who was looking for Halo mods that needed original music a couple of years ago. He’s back – and this time, he’s mixing the music of Marathon and Halo, and doing a wonderful job of …

Mister Froggy sent word that Halo, Articulated #60 is up. Looks like the anti-smoking lobby is even more agressive in 2552 than they are today…(Louis Wu 02:58:30 UTC)

Wow, bizarre. According to MacGold Direct Online (a Macintosh game seller in the UK), MacSoft has discontinued the sale of Halo for Mac in the UK. There’s no announcement at all on their site, and it seems to still be available in the US – we’ve got n…

Sane Intolerant has finished his Halo/Transformers story arc for Halo Toy Box; There are four new strips (There’s Nothing You Can Do, Autobots Wage Their Battle, More Than Meets The Eye, and The War Has Just Begun). If you’ve been following this story…

Wired has an article about the Halo History Pack, a special Japanese-only release that contains Halo, Halo 2, and a disc that contains the system update that allows both games to run on the Xbox 360. (Since both games ran on the 360 on the day it was …
