TTL Demag0gue informed us that Reclaimer 147 is up – and a new player gives Ferial pause. (Louis Wu 18:21:31 UTC)

Davis Beutler stopped in to announce that he’d won one of five spots given out by Kotaku AU to a Halo Wars preview this week; the winners will get to play the whole game through, and write a review. He’s offering to ask questions, if anyone there is answering – swing by with your suggestions!…

Over at Blast Magazine, there’s another Halo Wars Hands-on, this time from a non-RTS player; give it a read if you’d like to see how a beginner in the genre views it all.(Louis Wu 18:17:21 UTC)

2900d4u was the first of many to let us know about a new Halo Wars cinematic montage that can be seen at a Taiwanese Xbox site. (If you’re having trouble there, there’s a lower-res version at Gametrailers.com.) This is FULL of spoilers for the Halo Wars story (mostly inferred, but pretty clear)… but if you…

smick6 auctioned off a Brute Spiker replica last September – if you were interested then, but missed it, you’ve got another chance. He’s put up another one – starting bid is $275, close is just under 7 days. If you’re curious about what you’d be getting, we put together a gallery last August, showing his…

gender bombs (or Swimmer, or Solomon) sent us word that he’d posted an album of music for Halo 3 and the graphic novels over at B.net; It’s electronic, and he’s titled the pieces rather vaguely, so that you can decide for yourselves what tidbit of Halo inspired each one. It’s free, and the full download…

Michael “Fluffaluffer” Karlsson, the long-time manager of Planet Halo, is stepping down – we’d like to take a moment to say goodbye. It’s been a good run, Fluffy!(Louis Wu 02:14:07 UTC)

Rockslider is back to playing fun games in the Halo 3 Campaign – this time, he’s behind enemy lines on The Covenant. Go see what he’s come up with!(Louis Wu 02:13:32 UTC)

Hype let us know that Podtacular 178 is up – Callins and Tales from the Foxhole. Go listen!(Louis Wu 18:18:26 UTC)

Stuntmutt manages to poke fun at Halo Wars and Marvel, all in one totally unexpected bonus strip – go check out today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 11:58:28 UTC)

naveeda stopped in to talk about IamDank’s latest creation – it’s a wonderfully-edited montage… with a 3 and a half minute intro. The intro isn’t just credits, though – it’s a cool collection of machinima shorts that work nicely to introduce the montage itself. A great way to spend a Sunday morning! (If you’ve got…

MasterCheifn was the first to let us know about Halo 3 Fails Episode 9 – mostly because he’s in it (as the first FAIL). Of course, he blames someone else. (In this case, he blames CYBRFRK – and since we blame him a lot too, maybe MasterCheifn isn’t exaggerating.) (Louis Wu 11:54:18 UTC)
