Jon Goff created some character sketches of the Spartans he wrote about in Headhunters – and yesterday, he posted those via Twitter. Awesome! Thanks, Leviathan. (Louis Wu 18:30:40 UTC)

Marcelo Vega sent word that he’s got a bnch of new tracks for you to try – but they’re more than racetracks. They’re adventures. Check out Gartantuan Valley, Garganuan Mines, and the latest version of The Gargantuan. (He’s got a trailer so you can see …

General Vagueness found a video at G4 with some staff members reminiscing about their favorite Bungie memories. (Of course Halo figured in several.) Nice watch! (Louis Wu 18:28:30 UTC)

Spencermx14 from Halotracks.org asked us to let you know about their latest screenshot contest – send in a pic of great Forge art, you could win a full donation kit through World Wildlife Fund Canada. Full details are on their site. (Louis Wu 18:27:34…

Over on NeoGAF, MrBig pointed out the portfolio site of Esequiel Garcia, an artist who worked on Halo Reach (and Halo 3: ODST). Some very cool stuff in there! (I wish we’d seen more of those female civilians in the game…)(Louis Wu 18:46:08 UTC)

Dogiojoe put together a tribute to Bungie in honor of Halo’s 10th anniversary – go see!(Louis Wu 15:32:56 UTC)

uberfoop’s goose is on fire! And it’s pretty! (Louis Wu 15:31:37 UTC)

The third and final part of Headhunters is up at Halo: Waypoint – some fantastic graphics work! If you haven’t watched any of these – this is a great one to jump in with. It does a fantastic job of bringing Jon Goff’s already great story to life. Thank…

Marty O’Donnell wants to know if you’d be interested in bidding for “old original handwritten (by me) Halo music” as part of the offerings from Bungie for the Child’s Play auctions? (By HIM, not by me.) Seems like a no-brainer – but hey, he asked! (Lou…

IGN posted their Top 100 Modern Games – and Reach made #14 on the list. (There is only one game per franchise is on the list, for anyone annoyed that, say, Halo 3 isn’t there.) Thanks, Avateur. (Louis Wu 15:25:38 UTC)

I feel like I’ve seen this one before (it’s the wallpaper that’s sticking in my head) but I can’t find a link, so… NobleSixActual stopped in to show off his Marathon logo tattoo – a clean, iconic tribute to Bungie! (Louis Wu 15:24:43 UTC)

Been a while since we’ve seen one of these on eBay – but if you’ve always wanted to get your hands on a 6-foot Master Chief statue, there’s one for sale now (admittedly overpriced). Thanks, Joshua Allen. (Louis Wu 15:23:39 UTC)

hezekiah pointed out that Achievement Hunter’s Fails of the Weak Volume 41 is live (YouTube or AH.com) – some funny ones in there, but the last one’s just plain WEIRD. Go watch!(Louis Wu 22:33:38 UTC)

As the milestone anniversary of Halo approaches, the wheels of charity keep turning. On July 2, TrueAchievements.com will host “The Ultrafun: Halo Forever! (For a day),” a 24-hour “Halo” marathon to raise money for Child’s Play. Here’s how it works: T…

It’s not Halo-related – but it’s near and dear to my heart, and this is the biggest bungie.org site running right now, so I’m telling you about it. Bungie has released the Marathon Infinity source code, as part of their Anniversary celebration – and w…

Yesterday, MacGyver10 pointed out a couple of new posters at the Bungie Store – one is already gone, but the other is still in stock. Check it out! (Fake update: urk tells me the ‘I Need a Weapon’ poster will be restocked – yay!)(Louis Wu 17:20:07 UTC)

Hedgemony pours on more Halo screenshot love – have you been inoculated yet?(Louis Wu 17:07:57 UTC)
