An article written by a Silicon Valley insider uses Halo 3 as evidence that content drives sales more than technology does… I think there are lots of examples of that these days, but Halo 3 definitely fits the mold.(Louis Wu 19:22:40 UTC)

BARBARIC RAGE pointed out a pretty cool Halo 1 Standee (from the original Xbox Launch in 2001), now for sale on eBay. It’s in pretty nice condition – check it out!(Louis Wu 18:38:22 UTC)

trigger119 sends word to remind everyone that the Halo 3 Film Festival at MLGPro.com will only take submissions through tonight – if you’re planning on participating, now’s the time to get your entry in!(Louis Wu 18:35:10 UTC)

Dan Rhine and his fiancee were married on October 6. They had a pretty cake. Why do you care? Because they’re both avid Halo players, and Halo was there. He and his friends spent the morning trying to collect the IWHBYD skull. “Rock Anthem to Save the World” was played during the reception. And the…

RVideo noticed that one of the original Nightmare Armor Rocket Launchers (they made three, back in the day) is available right now on eBay (take THAT, Hawty McBloggy!). Current bid is $155, reserve is not met yet. There are still 5 and a half days left on the auction. This puppy is 4 feet long,…

Elnea posted Halo Action Theater #98 – if you don’t normally read her RvB Journal, you might wonder what that giant cat is doing in frame 3. If you aren’t wondering that… well, I guess the surreality of the strip has become commonplace for you.(Louis Wu 13:50:21 UTC)

Wow… Hawty McBloggy speculated about how interesting it might have been to have had Cortana as the final unlockable in Halo 3. Personally, I’m guessing I’d go crazy after a day or so… but it’s an intriguing idea. Go let her know what you think!(Louis Wu 09:54:04 UTC)

Jay sent us a link to a thread he started at the High Impact Halo forums – it gives step-by-step instructions for making your Legendary helmet wearable… with lots and lots of pics. He even added lights! (Remember: if you do this, you’ve done it; you can’t put it back the way it was.)(Louis Wu…

Wow – we’ve mentioned Saber-Scorpion before – he’s been building Halo-styled Lego creations for years. A few days ago, though, he posted a couple of pages full of Spartan armor permutations and weapons… and man, they’re amazing. Go look (page one | page two). Thanks to HHRB for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 09:43:38 UTC)

mikey-san let us know of a truly astounding grenade stick he found recently; check this forum post for a link to a downloadable clip (and a YouTube version). Props to CptSchrute, the original tosser.(Louis Wu 22:16:16 UTC)

We mentioned the Barrett/Tung interview from Las Vegas a few days ago – Bungie’s now posted their own writeup of the trip, written by Joe Tung. Nice read! Thanks, PrideofWV.(Louis Wu 22:01:46 UTC)
