ZZoMBiE13 has a new funni for you today, over at Another Halo Comic Strip – a mystery of the ages… solved.(Louis Wu 18:26:38 UTC)

Last Friday’s Bungie Weekly Update hinted at fun changes to the playlist roster around Halloween. Swing by Bungie.net right now for full details – they’re putting up an Infection-based playlist for 27 hours, starting tonight at midnight (PST). Full details (including ways you can use this information to get some of the harder-to-grab achievements out…

It’s clearly Joe Staten day (not surprising, since it’s the day Contact Harvest is officially released) – we got word that GameTap has an interview with him, as well. Well, Part 1 of an interview, anyway. It’s pretty meaty already – and there is more coming! Thanks, Jared Rea.(Louis Wu 17:46:07 UTC)

Bungie has posted the prologue from Contact Harvest – if you didn’t get a chance to read this in the current issue of Official Xbox Magazine, you can read it here, for nothin’. Thanks, Dry Ice.(Louis Wu 16:33:20 UTC)

Heh – there’s an interesting piece at the Weekly Dig; it originally appeared in Willamette Week, an alternative weekly newspaper in Portland, Oregon (my old stomping grounds). It’s a writeup of a grudge match between Michael Evans (who worked on Halo and Halo 2, but not Halo 3) and a friend of his (who plays…

Hoovaloov stopped by to point out the newest content at Tied the Leader – there’s an article from your favorite Halo General, XerxdeeJ, about the importance of rank, and a vid from Hoovaloov himself, LagtaculaR, a hilarious look at the vagaries of internet connections.(Louis Wu 16:16:22 UTC)

IGN has a podcast called ‘Three Red Lights’ – Episode 12 contains an interview with Joe Staten, about Contact Harvest (which is officially released today, don’t forget!). The interview kicks off about 53 minutes into the podcast, and has a lot of info about the book and how it was written. There are some silly…

Heh – Kotaku points out a Halo billboard that’s… not really pulling its weight, advertising-wise. Thanks, KP.(Louis Wu 15:42:59 UTC)

We’ve posted a lot of fan-made armor over the years – everything from paper to injection-molded plastic. Spartans, mostly, but also Elites, Grunts, Hunters, Flood. Yesterday we got mail from Frank Carradine, who created an Elite costume for Halloween this year… it’s amazing. You’ve got to see it. I wish we had more pics.(Louis Wu…

We got word from Tim ‘343 Guilty Spark’ Dadabo – he’s willing to create, as he has in years past, a recording (using the voice of Spark) for the answering machine/voicemail of the winner of our Guilt O’ Lantern pumpkin-carving contest; if you thought the first-place prize package was just a little too small to…

TTL Demag0gue has posted the next episode of his Reclaimer comic – Chapter One, Part 2 is called ‘Shut Up and Listen’. I’m already jonesin’ for the next ep! (Louis Wu 13:46:14 UTC)

c0ld vengeance has created a new game called ‘Puzzleball’. He’s built a map (download link in that forum post) which has an oddball… that’s hard to reach. Figure it out, film it, post the film. No prizes – do it for the glory. What are you waiting for?(Louis Wu 13:42:25 UTC)

This made me smile. Except for the mauler part. Maulers rock.(Louis Wu 13:32:01 UTC)

Big Goalie Dan let us know that Podtacular 132 is up – it’s full of tips for Guardian, the map of the month. Just under an hour, 29.2 mb. And a… somewhat unexplainable (but hilarious) video. Go listen!(Louis Wu 13:21:07 UTC)

Hawty “I’ll get back on top of the eBay pile, you know I will” McBloggy found a guy selling a custom Spartan action figure on eBay. What makes this one unique? Well, it’s a model of “‘MASTER CHIEF’ from the hit PlayStation 3 game ‘HALO'” (the seller’s words, not Hawty’s). Beyond that silliness, though, it’s…

TheShadyGnome, of Flem Productions, did a podcast with a bunch of the folks from Injured Knee Productions – details about the group, as well as tidbits from upcoming episodes of Lost Cause, can be heard. 47 minutes, 21.3 mb. Go listen! (Louis Wu 12:16:45 UTC)

a32ozSlurpee let us know that HaloTube is now online – it’s a YouTube-like site with a Halo feel. (Higher quality, too, in the live stream and fullscreen versions.) There’s a bunch of stuff there now, with more all the time – go see! (Louis Wu 12:13:50 UTC)
