Heh – over at Halo Base (a German site), forum user Johnson has already printed out the Halo 3 Teaser poster from last night’s Weekly Update – looks great on his wall! Thanks, Legend.(Louis Wu 20:57:09 UTC)

Whoa, cool. Nerrolken posted a note over at The Codex Series website; they’ve decided to release The Heretic in high-res! Go by and grab large versions of Episode 1 – Ep 2 will be out next week! (There’s also news of the Heretic Soundtrack, which will begin shipping shortly after the series is finished.)(Louis Wu…

Red vs Blue Episode 90 has been posted for sponsors; Sis gets naked, Sarge tries to abandon Grif, Caboose tries to pick up Sheila, Tucker gets none. Fun all around! Thanks to Psychophan7 for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 03:26:03 UTC)

Mister Froggy points out Halo, Articulated #14 – a summary of the Library, in 3 panels. Except with fewer grenades.(Louis Wu 03:25:03 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update is live over at Bungie.net (and, of course, in our Weekly Update Archive) – info about the upcoming advertising blitz, info (sort of) about the Beta launch date, info about the Halo 3 control scheme, info about Frankie’s AWESOME art abilities. Go read!(Louis Wu 01:07:51 UTC)

Halo Heads hits 50 – nice! And a new character… I like ‘im! Thanks, stickygerbils.(Louis Wu 21:25:14 UTC)

GamingTV has put up an interview with Machine Enema’s SodaGoD – go read how he got into Halo machinima in the first place, and what drives him to make great vids. Thanks, trigger119.(Louis Wu 21:00:51 UTC)

Xboxyde has interviewed Phil Wilson, Producer of Crackdown – go read what he has to say about the inclusion of the Halo 3 Beta. (And a ton of other stuff about Crackdown, of course.) Thanks, Coffin Joe.(Louis Wu 20:49:03 UTC)

So last week Jen Taylor was at Bungie, recording dialogue. (And this week, according to Cybrfrk, who heard an interview with Pete Stacker on his local radio station, Stacker was there, doing the same.) Stuntmutt riffed on some of Frankie’s commentary in today’s One One Se7en… poor Jen.(Louis Wu 16:59:20 UTC)

It’s a little later than we thought it would be, because it turned out to need more approval, at more levels, than anyone had expected – but the Halo 3 Beta FAQ that KP promised a couple of days ago went live early this morning (thanks, goatrope). Go read it to get answers to the…

Over at Rampancy.net, Narcogen has taken a long, hard look at the arguments at the halo2sucks.com website, and what, exactly, made them hate Halo 2 with such a passion. It’s a pretty interesting read. (Personally, I think he missed a critical piece of the puzzle – the fact that Halo multiplayer rewarded individual skill far…

Only 6 new pieces in the Fan Fiction section this week – shouldn’t take you too long…(Louis Wu 14:31:37 UTC)

There was another Halo 3 Humpday match played on Wednesday – and by ‘match’ I mean ‘KP plays Halo 3 Matchmaking and humiliates anonymous players’. There’s definitely some interesting info about the games there – go give it a read! MasterChief2829 was first with the news.(Louis Wu 14:28:50 UTC)

EternalScrappy has created Elite vs Elite Episode 5 – this one seems to substitute funny noises for actual humor. (I guess by that I mean if there was humor intended in the action, I couldn’t find it.) Similar content and a download link can be found in this forum post.(Louis Wu 14:12:38 UTC)
