    A few days ago, we mentioned some Halo 3 Beta shirts that Kotaku was planning to give away – they’ve decided how, now. Dress up as the Master Chief, take a picture of yourself, and send it in – best couple of pics win, I guess. You’ve got until June 1….

    This is pretty strange… Gamespot has bundled up 25 Halo 2 desktops created by Bungie (and served from Bungie.net) and made them available for download – to Gamespot members. (Again – these are all available at Bungie.net – in many more resolutions t…

    Gamespot put up a feature entitled ‘Halo 3 Graphics Tour’ – it contains 3 pages of screenshots from Halo 2 and Halo 3 (mouse over the pics to see the Halo 3 versions). I think they could have done a better job of picking screens that matched each other…

    Heh – Yesterday, VG Cats put up a Halo-related strip… this is definitely one of the biggest problems with the Mongoose, just ask Joe Staten and KP. Thanks to Pak in the #hbo IRC channel for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 12:34:36 UTC)

    You might remember, a bit over a year ago, gunluva posted some pics of some Halo weapons he’d created from cardboard and duct tape. Well, he’s back, with a Spartan Laser, a sniper rifle, some ARs, and a BR. Check it out!(Louis Wu 12:29:59 UTC)

    Wow. For all the people who said that Bungie doesn’t care… you guys can pull your feet out of your mouths now. Microsoft screwed up AGAIN – and for some reason, the 3pm remailing of the ‘Rule of 3’ codes never actually happened. Rather than letting t…
