Our friendly neighborhood punmeister was inspired (possibly by a fragment of an underdone potato) to poke fun at one of the most common denizens of Halo 3 matchmaking – check out the latest One One Se7en for full details. (We may have to start numbering these for real again at some point…)(Louis Wu 15:19:14 UTC)

It’s Tuesday, and it’s a new year, so XerxdeeJ is back with word of updates on the Tied the Leader blog – TTL Venus sat down with TTL Demag0gue for a pretty in-depth interview about Halo, comics, horses, and Chicago cops… and OboeCrazy whipped up another volume of Gunslinger highlights – highlights for me were…

Rune Of Red has been reading the Halo novels, and has decided to elaborate on what, for him, makes the Master Chief special. See if you agree!(Louis Wu 15:13:26 UTC)

Heh – Mid7night found a cool video showing Johnson getting an Overkill on the last level of the campaign… unfortunately, all four deaths were players.(Louis Wu 14:53:19 UTC)

nomis78 posted links to three new panoramas he’s created – the first couple have some funky effects! Check ’em out.(Louis Wu 21:48:45 UTC)

Customers Rock!, a website devoted to pointing out customer service and its results, has issued its Top 3 Customer Rock Stars for 2008… and Bungie pulls in the number one spot for their handling of Ragingterror’s ‘wiped’ Xbox. Tell us something we didn’t know, Customers Rock! (Just kidding – that’s pretty cool.) Thanks to Hawty…

Schedonnardus let us know about a short clip on the Xbox LIVE Dashboard, viewable by visiting the ‘Spotlight’ section. For those without access to that particular fount of goodness, we’ve put up 720p versions for download – both QuickTime (90 mb) and WMP9 (106 mb) formats. It’s under 3 minutes, and consists of stock footage…

Bored? Feel like playing with Bungie.net’s tagging system to find cool FileShare content? The latest example of urk’s tutorial series shows off some pretty sweet hammer pics.(Louis Wu 20:56:15 UTC)

Another fun highlight – Rast07’s Equipment Emporium, where you can buy anything you need to augment your battle fun, at discounted prices! (Louis Wu 20:51:07 UTC)

Bungie’s blog pointed out Real7alk’s Podcast #6 – a farewell to a site founder, and interview with a montage master, and a discussion with the moderators of halotech.org – 92 mb, 110 minutes. Go listen. (urk warns that you might need a bathroom break. Or something.)(Louis Wu 20:49:20 UTC)

Over at HaloGAF, Kibbles pointed out a pretty interesting YouTube vid… I’d love to know how this happened. (Minor spoilers, I suppose, for those who haven’t played Halo or Halo 2.)(Louis Wu 20:31:20 UTC)
