    Pixelated Pupils is now back online, and their first comic deals with the Halo 3 Beta/Crackdown situation. Nice poem! Thanks, Angelic Lionheart.(Louis Wu 10:02:23 UTC)

    We got word from Haloplayer that Lost Cause Episode 15 is now online (in a bunch of downloadable and streaming flavors) at Injured Knee Productions – and this is probably the last Halo 2 episode they’ll make. It’s called ‘Achingly Familiar’, and the Elites have finally found our squad. Uh oh… (Louis Wu 09:57:49 UTC)

    Part Three of Ferrex’s trilogy on Forge is up at Bungie.net: Advanced Forge Editing. It covers how to edit objects in ways specific to creating certain goal-oriented gametypes, instead of just piles of fusion cores. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. What this article does talk about a lot is spawning: spawn points and…

    The newest big thing from Bungie? Tyson Green talks to Gamespot about a multiplayer level we havent seen yet – Construct, an industrial multilevel map. Looks gorgeous! Thanks to Flamechu for the first heads-up.(Louis Wu 02:03:49 UTC)

    This looks like a legitimate, if somewhat low quality, recording of Halo 3’s opening cinematic, explaining the Chief’s arrival on Earth. It also appears to confirm the contents of the game story summary posted elsewhere on the Internet. Again– if you don’t want to be spoiled, don’t view!

They’ll be part of G4TV’s pre-launch extravaganza. An HIH forum thread about this already up and running. Congrats, guys!(Louis Wu 22:13:21…

(It says “non-transferable”, but he hasn’t sent his name in yet, so it shouldn’t be a problem.) If you’re interested, adn you’re over 18 and…

    Jasman’s Plasma Pistol and Rifle have been news on the toy front for a long time – but until now, I haven’t seen a picture (or a price) for the upcoming Energy Sword. BigBadToyStore is preselling all three – but it’s the $120 sword that surprises me. They’re not promising that this is the final…

    It’s unconfirmed for now (see the “rumour” category) but Pro-G is reporting they have unofficial news that any GamerTags with Halo 3 play associated with them before Sept. 25 could end up with their Live account banned. Heads up, for those tempted by stores breaking street date… even playing offline may result in getting booted…

    Interesting… and maybe depressing for some folks who got their hands on Halo 3 early. According to Pro-G, Microsoft has confirmed that they will be banning Xbox Live accounts of folks who play Halo 3 before its street date – and they’ll do this whether you’re connected to XBL when you’re playing, or not. Ouch!…
