TTL Demag0gue pointed out that Reclaimer Chapter Three, Part Eleven has been posted – are you starting to get an idea about Archimedes? (Louis Wu 13:50:40 UTC)

Omega noticed that there’s another Forerunner structure (as concept art) posted over at the Halo Wars website. This one looks pretty cool – I love the ground work!(Louis Wu 13:46:19 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy ran across a fun series on machinima.com – check out ‘Confirmed Kills’ for some great Xbox LIVE plays.(Louis Wu 13:32:05 UTC)

The Calgary Herald has a piece on the recent Pro Gaming League tournament in Alberta, Canada – it’s a view of the tournament scene from someone who really isn’t part of it. Short and sweet.(Louis Wu 12:32:01 UTC)

oriol let us know that Grunts R Us have put together a search function for Bungie.net’s Community Files collection. It uses Google’s search engine, with some custom tweaks; you can search by keyword, author, filetype, and more. Go try it out!(Louis Wu 12:30:04 UTC)

spesalfred is working on a Halo-based flash game in which you use MAC guns to protect Earth from the invading Covenant fleet. It’s coming along – but he really needs help with some artwork. He’s got a playable game you can try out; it’s rough, but it should show you where he’s going. If you’d…

Apologies for the delay – we’ve fallen behind on the release of the Halo 2 Hi-Def cutscenes, but the next one (Return to Sender) is now available. Once again, the link will give you a random selection from the mirror lists – hosts include ClanInfectionist, bungie.org, and Wraith-Ops. Thanks, all!(Louis Wu 20:45:32 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy found a rather intense modded action figure on eBay today; if I explain what makes it intense, I’ll need to put a spoiler tag on this newspost, so I’d rather just tell you to jump over to her blog post. You’ve got a few days to think about this… current bid is at…

Today’s episode of Another Halo Comic Strip is a little odd – but I think ZZoMBiE13’s motives were pure.(Louis Wu 15:21:30 UTC)

So even with a DoubleXP weekend, Halo 3 couldn’t pass Call of Duty 4 on the LIVE activity list. To all those who said CoD4 was just a flash in the pan… what have they to say now? (Thanks, SPARTAN 294.)(Louis Wu 14:31:45 UTC)

Over at Red vs Blue, folks who haven’t seen Recovery One can find Part Two available for watching… and sponsors can watch the director’s commentary. Pretty interesting backstory stuff!(Louis Wu 11:30:23 UTC)

Scotty let us know about The Social, a new website aimed at the social aspects of Halo 3. It’s a place to share content, stats, and more; they’ve even got their own medal chest (a lot like Bungie’s medal chest, except with different medals). Take a look – and if you like what you see,…

It’s Tuesday, so it’s time for a Tied The Leader update. XerxdeeJ doesn’t disappoint – there are a few new bits to be seen. There’s a funny whine about those gold bars that’ll show up on the bottom of your rank icon if you wait too long to level up, there’s an interview with the…

Keegan stopped by again to show off the basic smoothing on his Arbiter helmet – looking pretty good! (If you missed ’em, earlier pictures went up a few days ago.)(Louis Wu 11:04:07 UTC)

Elnea has posted Halo Action Figure 135, and once again she’s focusing on the physical. (Or maybe Jason’s focusing on the physical. I’m not sure.) Either way, though, any strip that references Buckaroo Banzai can’t be all bad.(Louis Wu 11:01:09 UTC)

Ultimate Dragon let us know that Sniper vs Noob Documentary #3 has been released – it’s more a vehicle for showing off fun Forge ideas than a serious machinima, but it’s nicely presented. Take a look!(Louis Wu 10:59:02 UTC)

SketchFactor reminds everyone that the official playlist for the Halo 3 Championship sponsored by the Army and Xbox.com will be online starting tonight, at 9pm PDT. (That’s a little more than 15 hours from the time of this writing.) You’ve still got a few days to register, if you haven’t yet.(Louis Wu 09:49:42 UTC)

Yesterday, Bungie posted an in-depth interview with Todd McFarlane, focusing on how his Halo action figures are created. There’s an awful lot of info there… take a look!(Louis Wu 09:46:02 UTC)
