ZZoMBiE13 takes a look at Ghost Town in today’s episode of Another Halo Comic Strip – yes, you can groan now.(Louis Wu 12:50:49 UTC)

I’m out of town, so news might be slow for a couple of days – but it’s amazing how many movies were announced today. I can’t even watch most of them, so you’re on your own in terms of quality (you might be able to get some idea from the respective forum posts):Vash10 pointed out…

Jared Rea is one of the people who’s gotten his hands on a Legendary code early – and he’s spent the advance time building a Mongoose racetrack on Avalanche. Check out the pictures and writeup for Overdriftactular – a final version should be available by the time the maps are up.(Louis Wu 04:24:33 UTC)

Delta noticed an article about future weapons/armor systems for Canadian soldiers, in the Toronto Star – the gear is compared to Halo’s Spartans more than once.(Louis Wu 04:22:39 UTC)

SpartanX announced the release of a study of the Firebomb, over at DeviantART. Great work!(Louis Wu 04:19:56 UTC)

Morpheus pointed out that there’s a video up on Inside Xbox (an Xbox LIVE feature accessible from the LIVE tab of your 360 dashboard) – looks like it went up Friday, in fact – that has an interview with Frankie, and covers the Legendary Map Pack. Game footage looks to have been taken from the…

Master Kim noticed an old article about game design (specifically, “Fully Interactive Surfaces”) which focuses on Doom 3 and Half-Life 2, but also mentions Halo a couple of times. Might be worth a read, if you’re interested in that sort of thing! (It was written in 2005 – keep that in mind.)(Louis Wu 13:55:24 UTC)

Next Generation has put together their list of the Top 10 Games Industry Taglines – Halo 3’s ‘Finish the Fight’ comes in at #5.(Louis Wu 09:52:04 UTC)

Unique Name pointed out a LEGO grunt – there are photos at both Flickr and Brickshelf.(Louis Wu 09:27:59 UTC)

Back in mid-March, we mentioned a video found by Hawty McBloggy; Kroden35 had created a stereo 3D version of a mongoose jump, on High Ground. It required that you cross your eyes to see the 3D action, but it was worth the effort. He’s been hard at work creating more, since then – there’s a…

The first real episode of Someday-Night Grifball took place at 10pm ET last night – you can swing by and watch the archived action between American Dream and Team STFU. (Well, as of this writing, you can’t, yet – but soon.) They also broadcast the third episode of the Grifball Explosion podcast – that’s up…

The ‘How it all began’ series continues with T.J. over at Larry the Marine. Thanks, 2phast.(Louis Wu 09:00:58 UTC)

Be careful where you park your car – remember, you’re still responsible for the damage it does, even when you’re not in it. Thanks, Raulboy.(Louis Wu 08:56:23 UTC)
