Josh Braybrooke let us know that the next three episodes of Veracity are now available on YouTube (we mentioned the first two here). Again, the easiest way to find them is via the playlist; each episode is more than one video.(Louis Wu 21:43:42 UTC)

Jamie98s just let us know about ‘Knocking on Heaven’s Door’, a music video set to an Eric Clapton version of the song. It tells a sad story. You can stream it from Jamie’s website, or you can download it from us (WMP9 format, 54.3 mb, or QuickTime format, 52.3 mb). Nice cinematography!(Louis Wu 14:41:07 UTC)

smiley let us know that Master Chief Theater 3000: Episode 203 is up now – it covers Halo 2’s Outskirts and Metropolis. If you’re a member of the site, the extras for the episode are up, as well.(Louis Wu 14:02:22 UTC)

Mingadolin ran across a Halo-themed t-shirt at J!NX – some of our forum members are unimpressed. I’d have to agree that the weapons are rather stylized.(Louis Wu 13:54:37 UTC)

dreamwhispering stopped by with a video of himself playing One Final Effort on piano. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 13:51:56 UTC)

Entries must be received by 9 pm PST TONIGHT, SUNDAY, or they will not be accepted.…

Lord Osiris noticed that DigitalPh33r has a new series coming next week – a promo is up now on YouTube. A tad over-the-top for me, but check it out for yourself! (Louis Wu 13:58:28 UTC)

D&R Lineups is offering a Pink EVA exclusive McFarlane figure – you can see what it looks like here. Shipment arrives next week – get your preorder in now!(Louis Wu 13:58:05 UTC)

Grunts R Us has posted Halo 3 WTF & Funny Moments 4, a collection of unexpected outcomes. Some clips are simply too fast to really appreciate, but overall it’s a pretty funny watch! Thanks, oriol.(Louis Wu 13:57:47 UTC)

So the big news last night was the return of the Superintendent. (I suppose he’s never really left; he pops up on Bungie.net’s logo to this day. But we haven’t HEARD a lot from him since the aborted attempt to reveal a new project at E3 this year.) There’s a lot of speculation on our…

Elnea’s posted a new Halo Action Figure Theater – and in honor of it being International Talk Like a Pirate Day, it’s all in Pirate-ese. I mostly don’t like this holiday… but I have to say, the third panel made me laugh. The fourth one, too.(Louis Wu 19:38:15 UTC)

FreeeK ShoW noticed that TechRadar included Halo in its list of ’48 things we hate about tech’. (Number 21 is technically ‘Online Gaming’ – but the picture on the first page of the article references Halo directly.) Overall, a pretty funny article!(Louis Wu 16:32:55 UTC)

Gamasutra is speculating that the Internal Halo team at Microsoft Game Studios might be called ‘Spawnpoint Studios’ – go read their rationale! (Louis Wu 15:30:57 UTC)
