    Xbox Circle noticed that this week’s Best Buy circular in Canada offers you a free copy of Lost Planet if you buy the Halo 3 Legendary Edition for $99. (Remember – this is a Canadian deal; in the US, the Legendary Edition is $129, and there’s no free game.)(Louis Wu 16:25:58 UTC)

    Couple of great behind-the-scenes articles pointed out over at HBO: Next Generation interviewed Marty “The Elder” O’Donnell about music in games in general and polishing the Halo series in specific, and Sci Fi Tech put up Faces of Halo that shows us some of the actors and actresses who lent their voice talents to the…

    Ross Mills points out a list of the 50 greatest fictional weapons of all time – Halo contributes 2 to the list (Plasma Grenade and Energy sword). Not bad!(Louis Wu 02:18:50 UTC)

    Wow. You might remember that a few weeks ago, the Cyberathlete Professional League made huge waves by announcing a Halo 3 tournament in December with a one million dollar purse. They’ve made a few changes, it appears… the one million dollar tournament is being moved to the CPL Summer Event (next July), and the winter…

    Obsydian was the first to point out to us the newest Bungie anagram – I’m pretty sure it’s not “Two Green Aardvarks Walk Away From A Leopard”… but it could be pretty much anything else. He found it on the Halo 3 Soundtrack. Any guesses? (Don’t forget, mnemesis keeps track of ALL the Bungie acronyms…

    I’ve recovered enough from my tryptophan-induced stupor to point out that Red vs Blue has posted Recovery One, Part Three; you can find it on their Sponsors forum, if you’re a sponsor, or you can download it in HD splendor (for 80 Microsoft Points) from Xbox Live Marketplace. I’m really digging this story; it’s engrossing,…

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone (even you heathen non-Americans)! I hope you are all having a great and relaxing holiday, eating embarrassing amounts of food, and being as gluttonous as is your American right. Typically, I spend Thanksgiving with Burnie’s family,…

    I stumbled across Spriggs, a Halo 3 machinima, this morning – episode 1 has good voice acting, nice footage, and a lot of potential, humor-wise. Go watch! (I’m not sure about bandwidth – so if we do something stupid, like take them offline, I’ll put up local copies of the vid.)(Louis Wu 12:14:08 UTC)
