Littlebigman noticed that Toy News International has posted some early pictures of the new figures coming from Gentle Giant this fall – there’s a set of Halo Kubrick figures (they’re so cute!), and a Master Chief mini-bust which is for the moment liste…

Okay, just to clear up a small misunderstanding that might come back to bite Bungie (unfairly) in the future… yesterday, we mentioned that halo3.com had been updated with new content about the game, its characters, weapons, story, and so on. One thin…

Wow, cool. Xbox Australia and Bungie have gotten together to make some money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation – there’s a charity auction for a custom-painted, signed-by-Bungie Xbox 360 on eBay.au right now. Auction runs for another week and a half, bid …

Beorn printed out Bungie’s latest graphical offering on a nice large-format printer… wow, that looks nice. (Louis Wu 16:21:28 UTC)

Another Tuesday, another Tied the Leader update. Dweezle hits on another gamer chick – this time it’s Becky ‘Aktrez’ Young, part of far too many websites to list here – and XerxdeeJ waxes poetic about Halo – again. (Great graphic, too.) Go read!(Louis …

Mister Froggy pointed out that Halo, Articulated #36 is available – remember, kids, when it’s time for your closeup, floss first.(Louis Wu 15:48:12 UTC)

SEspider stopped by our forum to point out 5 new Halo-related contests sponsored by 360style.net – visit his post (or their site) for more details!(Louis Wu 15:41:48 UTC)

Sigafoos let us know about The Riot 46 – 35 minutes/14.5 megs worth of clan news, challenges, and poetry. And of course peanut butter.(Louis Wu 15:33:07 UTC)

Halomega sent us word of updates on their site – there’s a Q&A with one of their members, a new montage, a Stick of the Week contest, and a sponsored tournament – and look around for more!(Louis Wu 15:25:04 UTC)

Jman sent us a nice scan of the Halo 2 Vista ad appearing in many magazines this month; if you haven’t seen it, check this out (166K).(Louis Wu 15:21:28 UTC)

3Suns sent along a TON of MLG links – let’s see if I can get ’em all: Coach Profile: Apoc (FBI Are You Ready), Sound Arguments 12 (breakdown of Charlotte), Charlotte by the Numbers (fun stats), Halo Standings Update (summary on last page for the impati…

Another small Halo 2 Vista impressions article at GameDaily – once again, they like it.(Louis Wu 13:40:48 UTC)

Gamespot has a video comparison of some of the improvements in graphical quality to Halo 2 – clips from the Xbox, Xbox360, and Windows Vista are all shown. Does a nice job (at least in the HD version of the vid) of really showing how much better the Vi…

The Daily Egyptian (student newspaper of Southern Illinois University Carbondale) has a look at Halo 2 Vista – see what the college students think.(Louis Wu 13:32:18 UTC)

GameDaily wrote up an article entitled ‘Halo 2 for Vista: Why You Should Give a Sh*t’ – some of them are pretty lame, but the article’s worth a look. (Louis Wu 13:29:00 UTC)

Matt6908 sent us a note about High Resolution Halo, a new site he’s kicked off. We don’t normally mention new sites, but this one is chock-full of cool assets like medals, matchmaking ranks, emblems, cutouts, HUD pieces… a cornucopia of resources if …

Okay – I went through all mail to us in the past week, and plucked out some stuff that didn’t get mentioned, but maybe should have. It’s in (mostly) chronological order… sort of. First up: NuclearPinguin and Lt tuma put together a trailer for Halo th…
