    Back in August, gaming website Kotaku posted scans of what purported to be a leaked Halo 3 manual on their site. Not knowing if they were genuine, they put them up and let the readership decide whether to give them credence or not. Now it seems that Internet Investigator James Young has sent Kotaku a…

    John “JCal” Callaham has written another of Firing Squad’s quarterly updates on the console wars; the page on the Xbox 360 has a number of suggestions to Microsoft on how to win the console wars. FS thinks a flawless Halo 3 launch is important: Even though the game has gone gold there are still things…

    The following article contains pictures, albeit fuzzy pictures, of gameplay from Halo 3 Epsilon. This includes multiplayer in-game shots, menu shots, and shots from one level of the campaign. If you do not wish to see them then go no further. Furthermore, THX and its staff did not participate in their procurement, nor do we…

    Interesting. Several days ago, we mentioned an article in the current issue of Time magazine; we made note of the fact that it talked negatively about gamers… and moved on. I guess the paper issue hit the street today – I just saw three articles heaping scorn on the piece. (bits bytes pixels & sprites…

    Hoovaloov noticed that the Bungie Store had gotten a facelift – and Spartan Jag picked out one of the new items there. (Hit the ‘Zoom’ button to see all 16 months’ worth of artwork.)(Louis Wu 21:47:53 UTC)

    According to MAXCONSOLE, the latest EGM has a tidbit pointing out the smartest and dumbest AIs in upcoming games… Halo 3 takes one of those spots. Care to guess which? And what game gets the other one?(Louis Wu 18:40:07 UTC)

    Games Radar has an article that looks at eight games that changed dramatically from initial announcement through final product. (I’m not sure you couldn’t find a hundred more, if you looked – but 8 is a fine number.) Thanks, Mike Carson.(Louis Wu 18:06:46 UTC)

    Yesterday, we mentioned a set of new screenshots at the Radio Shack page that’s selling Halo 3 preorders. (There were 23, some of which were new.) Today, ComWave lets us know that another batch of 22 are up (a half-dozen or so of which haven’t been seen before).(Louis Wu 17:33:41 UTC)

    Phew, Did everyone have a relaxing Labor Day? I spent mine playing the incredibly addictive Stuntman: Ignition with Gav, who I’ve learned should never, ever be allowed to drive a motorcycle or semi truck. Today’s comic is below, and has nothing to do with…

    First of all I’m working on this past Tuesday’s show: Video Overload. This one is very time consuming but it will be done soon. In the mean time we gotta get rolling on another show. With Halo 3 just a few short weeks away, there’s not really anything to talk about with Halo 3 right…

    Webnation’s Episode 12 contains an interview with Kathleen Zuelch, better known to Halo fans as Red vs Blue’s Tex. Great discussion – go watch! (The Halo portion kicks off around 16 minutes in, but the whole episode is entertaining.)(Louis Wu 14:53:30 UTC)

    I recently visited the new Beauregard’s at University Drive and Memorial Parkway, next to Books-a-Million, and was very impressed. Establishment is large and well-furnished, food is good, and the beer selection is one of the best in town, IMO. Would like to get together there on Thursday night (9/6/07) around 7 PM. Late is fine–come…

    Cole at Lasersharks points out that the Wikiscanner discovered an edit to the entry on Halo 3 that came from teh Sony Computer Entertainmentoffice in the UK. The edit inserted the phrase “although it wont look any better than Halo 2” into the description of the game. The edit was apparently to the Halo 3…

    Awesome. WikiScanner is a tool developed by a guy who was interested in seeing who was doing the anonymous editing on Wikipedia pages. All sorts of interesting information surfaced once people started using it; companies saying good things about their own products, or dissing the competition… Halo’s now on the list. According to this Lasersharks…

    Louis Wu at HBO pointed out that ComWave– apparently responsible for the Radio Shack website that just added a Halo 3 product page– will correct some of the errors in the previous product description, and also added additional screenshots to their gallery. I’ve collected the new shots, with Wu’s gracious technical assistance, in the images…

    Heh. This article, from Xbox 360 Rally, showed up in my Google Alerts mailbox – it rants about a piece at GameDaily that seems to have been written specifically to drive Halo fans into a tizzy. For that reason, they’ve actually posted the whole article… so you don’t need to visit the original and give…

    The Philadelphia Daily News has an article that discusses how Marvel’s Halo: Uprising series is bringing more new faces to comic books. I guess that might be part of the new strategy to release these every 2 months, instead of every 2 weeks…(Louis Wu 11:48:15 UTC)
