Today’s Guest One One Se7en from ZZoMBiE13 actually made me laugh. Out loud. I think Stuntmutt better consider cutting that paternity leave short…(Louis Wu 17:03:12 UTC)

Nabsuh has reworked his original CHASE video (we mentioned the old one here). Different ships this time around – way cooler effects. Check it out – it’s quite small!(Louis Wu 16:52:25 UTC)

Shishka has updated his 1Up blog with some questions people ask about the Blastacular Map Pack maps. (There’s also some head-shaking stories about people getting fired – I’m sort of glad I don’t work in the games industry.) Good read. Thanks to Certain…

Heh – the boys at Penny Arcade turn their sights on the Halo 3 ARG – always good to get the cynical viewpoint. Thanks, Russ Robey.(Louis Wu 13:20:13 UTC)

Interesting. So back in May, Xbox Australia and Bungie auctioned off an airbbrushed 360, signed by Bungie, to raise money for Make-A-Wish. They pulled in almost AU$25,000. Now, there’s a box for sale on eBay in the US that seems to claim to be the sam…

Nathan Gibson pointed out Maximum Fear, a summary of the Alternate Reality Game started with Adjutant Reflex’s appearance a bit over a week ago. It’s concise and clear, and pulls its data for the most part from the Bungie.net group CompoundIntelligenc…

RyanUltima has created a Mjolnir suit out of Legos – it looks pretty amazing. The YouTube video found by Wolverine Monkey is pretty low quality – we’ve contacted RyanUltima, who’s agreed to try and get us higher-resolution footage. We’ll keep you post…

James Falcon sent along another few pictures of his in-progress Mjolnir suit – there’s a belt, some gloves, the glove plates, and the beginnings of a chest plate. Go see!(Louis Wu 11:50:55 UTC)

Hmm… I think I might have done the math wrong – but the Parody selection for the Zune Giveaway is now available for voting. (I know, I said 8pm PDT – but I coded the page for 5pm EDT, subtracting 3 hours instead of adding them. Oops.) Don’t worry th…

Legendz sent us a news update about Halownage – they’re currently looking for replacements for a 1v1 ladder they’re running (cash prize) – check details here. They’re also hosting what they consider to be the best montage trialer to date – Brohan’s Fi…

bs angel (you may recognize the name – she’s a Cavegirl that hangs with the Bungie guys sometimes, she’s played some Humpday challenges) recently had a custom Halo faceplate created by Pavel Dolgov. (Search our news for him for other artwork he’s done…

Kostas Tzounopoulos has put the preloaded pictures you can find on a Halo 3 Zune online on his website, Zune-Online.com; these are extracted directly from the Zune, so the quality is as high as is available. There is some spectacular artwork in here. …
