Ross Mills looks to be the proud new owner of a set of Mjolnir Armor…(Louis Wu 19:06:52 UTC)

The 1Up Multiplayer Map Preview is now online (thanks, mercury) – in-depth descriptions of Snowbound, High Ground, and Valhalla. They sound great! Go read.(Louis Wu 17:23:32 UTC)

Another 72 dialogue snippets have been added to the Dialogue Databank, courtesy of Hellhawk (they’ve been queued up for MONTHS, I’m sorry it’s taken so long); there are still almost 100 snippets total waiting in the queue, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel! In the meantime, go listen to a few dozen…

Dry Ice pointed out some new Halo 3 images at 1Up.com – four of ’em. (I’m not sure I’d call ’em ‘screens’… they’re cutouts and concept art. But they’re definitely new, and pretty cool!) Credit goes to Umbra, on the Bungie.net forums, apparently – link in Dry Ice’s post.(Louis Wu 16:23:27 UTC)

Took me long enough, but I finally cleared out the long-suffering batch of entries, sorry to all that were patiently waiting for their work to appear. Some folks are still not quite getting the point of the Cynic’s DB, I urge you to reread the main page before you submit your entry. That said, I’d…

Today’s One One Se7en is a demonstration of the maxim, ‘when in doubt, pun badly.'(Louis Wu 14:21:12 UTC)

Davis ‘BlueDingo5’ Beutler sent along three new Midi pieces – the full Halo 3 music, the full Halo Wars theme, and Pursuit of Truth (full, with chords). The archive is a tiny 7K, zipped. He figured out the notes with his keyboard, recorded them, then USB’d them to a freeware midi program for saving. There…

Two slightly different montages from Halo3Forum this morning, thanks to Z. First up is Reid18’s Nubtage, which shows what happens when someone really good goes into Team Training – the Killimanjaros come fast and furious – it’s 133 mb, in WMP9 format. The other one is Yasha’s ‘Almost a Montage’ – it’s clips of what…

Paul Maestri sends word of Halo Heads 26 – another example of why you should pick your friends more carefully than you pick your nose.(Louis Wu 19:59:10 UTC)

The Brian Morden foundation has been featured in the Altoona Mirror. For those of you that weren’t around, here is a summary of Brian’s association with Bungie and Bungie fans. It’s good to see the Angels continue the good fight. Many thanks to Dawn, Brian’s mom, for the update.(Ding 16:52:37 UTC)

bikeman704 remade the trailer for ‘300’ (the film about Sparta based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel) using Halo footage – it’s all stock, but it’s really well put together. (This is a great counterexample for all those people who say that stock footage is yesterday’s news.) The 13.6 mb WMP9 version is being hosted by…

DHalo noticed an Energy Sword available for purchase on eBay – starting bid is $230, and the auction has 5 days to run. This is the same guy who makes needlers with real crystal (we’ve mentioned him before) – he’s also the guy who won a thousand dollars for his Spartan costume last week. Check…

XerxdeeJ stopped by to point out the last week’s content at Tied the Leader – and there’s quite a bit. You’ll find clan profiles of PraetoriaGuard and 2old2play, a 22 Questions interview with Brannon Boren, a rant about Hollywood’s inability to see past the beancounting, an admission of weakness, and a rant about quitters. Man,…

Yesterday, Velez got REALLY lucky and found a copy of the December EGM at a local store (way ahead of when it’s supposed to be sold); he’s being good and not posting scans, but he did a nice job of summarizing some of the new information available. You’re still gonna want to read this on…
