    Wow, nice. GryphonOsiris found a pretty cool Halo Master Chief statue (well, it’s wall-mounted, so I’m not sure what you’d call it) on eBay – check it out! Do it quickly, though – only 4 hours left. (Current bid is just over $150, and reserve isn’t met yet.)(Louis Wu 18:13:20 UTC)

    Stuntmutt wrote today’s One One Se7en when it was unclear whether the Gears of War XBL Party Furor would apply to Halo 3 or not. (It seems that it won’t.) Still pretty funny, though.(Louis Wu 16:32:11 UTC)

    IGN has put up an interview with Eric Nylund, focusing on the upcoming Ghosts of Onyx novel. Eric does a great job of keeping secrets secret; he answers questions, but gives away almost nothing. Nevertheless, it’s a fun read, and should whet your appetite nicely! Looks like Leviathan was first.(Louis Wu 14:07:00 UTC)

    Over at Halo3Forum.com, where the quest to solve Chris the Hippie’s mystery is reaching new heights, Z has posted an older trailer CtH made but never had hosted. It’s definitely all about the editing – gameplay is an afterthought. However… the editing is quite nice. Check it out (and maybe get involved in the puzzle!).(Louis…
