Game Informer Online has released a podcast with Tim Dadabo (343 Guilty Spark) and Steve Downes (Master Chief) – an interesting interview about how the whole voice-acting thing works. It’s a fascinating half-hour discussion with two guys who are pretty close to the development process (though both of them deny knowing any inside info). Go…

Today’s One One Se7en looks at a potentially under-considered hazard of the upcoming Halo 3 Laser Command toy set… though anyone with small boys (or, for that matter, anyone who WAS a small boy or KNEW a small boy) could have predicted this.(Louis Wu 15:26:35 UTC)

A few days ago, we mentioned that Kornman won one of the three Hollywood Arts Halo auctions. In an odd turn of events, the top bidder in one of the other two, the Swag Pack, dropped out, and Kornman was the second highest bidder there – so he picked THAT one up, too. He was…

Sane Intolerant pointed out Bad News Beta, an episode of his Halo Toy Box strip. Oddness…(Louis Wu 15:12:34 UTC)

Okay, so we already knew about Gentle Giant, WizKids Games, and Kotobukiya getting into the Halo Action Figure market (just as Joyride gets out) – looks like a fourth company is in, too. Corgi International, makers of Master Replicas, will be releasing Halo-related “gifts and collectibles” in the coming year. (They’ll also be distributing the…

It’s Tuesday, which usually means a Tied the Leader update – but we’ve heard nothing from our gunslinging friends, so I visited all by my lonesome, and found some tasty stuff. There’s a 22 Questions interview with Michael ‘Fluffaluffer’ Karlsson, the leader of Planet Halo, there’s an interesting piece called ‘Century Milestone’, which looks at…

In the last 6 months, we’ve chronicled the release of 50 episodes of the Halo Heads comic on these pages… but a couple of weeks ago, fans started noticing that the site was unreachable. An unfortunate disaster had occurred, and the original blogspot website was gone – but never fear, a replacement has been created!…

That Halo 3 Voice Cameo auction ended yesterday… the winning bidder paid a whopping $7,300 to be immortalized, vocally, in Halo 3. Now THAT’S fanaticism! Thanks, Kornman.(Louis Wu 17:42:09 UTC)

xbryboyremix pointed out a collection of useful pages for machinima makers, part of a new section of the Halopen Films website. The Process has opened with ‘How to Film’, a page showing three common ways to get Xbox content into your computer, and ‘Guidelines’, a tutorial that can help you make better machinima. Go give…

One of the more impressive Halo 1 tricksters, over the years, has been Ms Man – and now all of his work has been collected in one section of High Impact Halo, thanks to Dantheman87. A friendly wave to Ducain, for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 17:20:40 UTC)

The official World of Warcraft website has a monthly comic contest – the Honorable mentions for February were posted yesterday, and one of them is Halo-related. Thanks, JeSteR 343.(Louis Wu 17:13:31 UTC)

Over at MLGPro.com, there’s a profile of Foulacy; give it a read to see how he got to where he is. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 17:07:48 UTC)

Mister Froggy pointed out that Halo, Articulated 17 is now available. That Arbiter’s a mean guy…(Louis Wu 16:26:25 UTC)
