Hawty McBloggy let us know that there’s a new discussion going on her website, courtesy of RandomSauce – they want to know who you’d cast in the Halo movie, if it ever gets made. (This sort of discussion has happened in many places around the net already – including our own forum, more than once…

Only a couple of new comics that we know of – Bloogyo released Rat’s Nest Episode 12 1, and TTL Demag0gue is back with Reclaimer 181 (Sideways Retreat). If you missed the last couple of Reclaimer Guest strips, Episode 7 is here (from HolyJunkie), and Episode 8 is here (a second from xSOB a DooBy).…

nomis78 put together a video from Halo 3 cutscenes and Nena’s ’99 Red Balloons’ – it works surprisingly well. Check it out! (Louis Wu 14:57:36 UTC)

Duncan was the first to notice that in last night’s episode of The Simpsons, Homer was playing Halo… and teabagging his opponennt. You can watch it for yourself at Hulu.com. (Mirel grabbed a few screens, as well.) (Louis Wu 14:52:04 UTC)

It’s amazing what’s still being done with the Halo CE engine… The Custom Mapping Team is working on adding vehicle boarding to their SPV2 mod, and have released a preview movie showing off some cool Banshee boarding. Check it out! Thanks, AvatarAang.(Louis Wu 23:02:13 UTC)

There’s a new Arby ‘n’ the Chief up at YouTube – thanks, urk. Arbiter gets tired of being bossed around…(Louis Wu 21:07:51 UTC)

I guess it’s Halo Day in Narc’s house – Anger, Sadness, & Envy (the irregularly-produced Rampancy.net-based podcast) has a new episode out, this one focused on The Ark. 45 minutes long, 40 mb. Go listen!(Louis Wu 18:59:46 UTC)

Narcogen looks to be interested in starting a guide to partner-based multiplay; if this doesn’t mean anything to you, go read the Rough Draft of the idea at Rampancy.net.(Louis Wu 18:48:54 UTC)

Suicidal Stickman sent along ‘Where is Master Chief’, a 4.5 mb Flash game he built with PrimeGhost548 that asks you to find MC on 15 screenshots. It’s a pretty basic game (you just have to find him, there are no time limits, or even time milestones), but if you’ve got a few minutes to kill,…

The “Now THAT’S Mythic” submission period came to a close last night – and Domino picked a winner from the 577 names we in the hat. (That’s a MUCH lower number than the last few go-rounds – I’m wondering if this is due to the fact that we only had submissions open for a couple…

zofinda noticed similarities between the Spartan MJOLNIR armor in Halo… and the Delta Six Accelerator suits worn by the G.I. Joe crew in the new Rise of Cobra movie coming this summer. See if you agree! (Best shots I could find were here and here.)(Louis Wu 10:32:14 UTC)

Slim30 stopped in with word of Lost Levels Episode 6 – this mashup of Dead Space, Halo 3, and live footage is an interesting piece of work. Nearly 10 minutes long. (Louis Wu 10:26:34 UTC)

Hehe – very cool. BootStrap Boon created a warthog animation for his first year Animation class at Uni – I’d give him top marks!(Louis Wu 20:42:03 UTC)

Anoj is back with Episode 30 of his Top 10 Series – this one focuses on Mythic Kills. It starts slow, but the last few are great! Thanks to urk for the heads-up on this fine Saturday.(Louis Wu 18:40:11 UTC)
