The latest Double Experience Weekend is now live – you can play Grifball to your heart’s content, at least until early Monday morning. The Official Grifball website (affiliated with Rooster Teeth, not Bungie) has two fun programs going this weekend – Adopt-a-Noob and the XP Competition. If you introduce someone to the Grifball community, or…

GameDaily has an article entitled ‘Why Gears of War 2 Kicks Halo 3’s Butt’ – but anyone who calls Marty’s Halo music ‘wimpy piano nonsense’ can’t really be taken seriously. Go read the other 7 reasons; they’re equally silly. (Marcus Fenix is deeper than Master Chief? C’mon…)(Louis Wu 15:55:27 UTC)

The Zionsville (Indiana) Times Sentinel has a piece on Eric ‘Snipedown’ Wrona, a member of Str8 Rippin (currently the top-seeded team on MLGPro.com). Been a little while since we’ve seen one of these “local boy makes good” stories about a Halo pro… (interestingly enough, Snipedown was in the Zionsville news a couple of months ago,…

News from kilaMOMjaro, of the PraetoriaGuard and Gaming4Others – they’re running a HALOween Zombies Charity Tournament to benefit the Epilepsy Foundation. A promo pic with all the details can be found on the PG forum, and registration ($5) is now open at the G4O website (click through the pic). First prize is a copy of…

Pyroman put together a Halo Roll’d video (in the style of the Barak Roll’d vid that came out a couple months ago) – it’s probably the only time you’ll be happy you’ve been Roll’d.(Louis Wu 13:35:19 UTC)

ZZoMBiE13 continues his look at the RvB: Reconstruction crew – his latest picture shows a scene in which Grif is about to be executed. Nice work!(Louis Wu 13:23:16 UTC)

The interview we mentioned yesterday in which Xbox3Fanboy’s Dustin Burg collected questions from fans about Halo 3: Recon has gone live today on Joystiq – swing by and give it a read! Some of the info is stuff that’s been said before (though most of it bears repeating; rumors have a way of growing no…

DeepCee was inspired to create a new mascot for… well, I’m not sure, but I like him a lot.(Louis Wu 13:02:48 UTC)

1UP posted a Halo Wars preview based on what they saw at the Tokyo Game Show – we didn’t notice until BlueNinja brought it to our attention this morning. Give it a read for their take on the gameplay.(Louis Wu 13:00:51 UTC)

Last year, we set up a gallery for Mad Cow’s Master Chief armor – this year, he’s selling it on eBay. (He wants to build an ODST suit, and hopes this will help fund it.) You can see from our gallery that he’s put a lot of love into this one… if you’re looking for…

Jim Smith was the first to let us know that today’s Least I Could Do comic had a Halo reference. (He points out that the comic is not particularly kid-friendly, but this strip is certainly safe for work.)(Louis Wu 11:37:43 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy couldn’t let a story with a focus on sex and Halo simply fade… Last week, we mentioned a Dutch study which suggested that men who were quick on the trigger in video games might be… quick on the trigger in other areas. Hawty has taken it upon herself to help those guys out.…
