Hoovaloov decided to look more closely into how bloom affects the DMR’s effectiveness (or, more specifically, how the change due to the Title Update affects the winning chances of folks who pace their shots vs folks who pull the trigger as fast as they…

Ross Mills noticed a new set of Halo-themed soaps from Digitalsoaps (we mentioned them back in 2009) – I love the design, but I’m not sure I want to smell like carbonated corn syrup. (The original link was via Sprite Stitch.)(Louis Wu 15:08:44 UTC)

We’ve mentioned THORSSOLI before – he made some cool Halloween armor a couple of years ago. (He’s made a lot more than that – but it’s what we noticed.) He put up a post this weekend that’s quite cool – he documented the creation of a Halo health pack…

Another day, another comic from pete_the_duck – I gotta say, I’m a little curious about what might have happened last night. (Louis Wu 15:03:37 UTC)

pete_the_duck made it easy to read the latest comics on his site, by posting direct links on our forum. Each one is funnier than the last! (Louis Wu 18:58:05 UTC)

Dennis Powers let us know that Maniac1000 has put together a tutorial showing how to add motion capture easily to Master Chief. Might make for some interesting machinima! (Louis Wu 18:57:47 UTC)

Nick_GTL, over at NeoGAF, pointed out a dualtage showing off footage by Str8 Sick and Prototype, with editing by whaTime – this was released a couple of weeks ago, but it’s the first I’m seeing it. Editing is heavy, but well-done. Check it out! (Louis…

Longtime HBO readers might remember Z, who used to run Halo3Forum all by himself. He turned over the reins to people he trusted, but has recently decided to come back. If you swing by TheHaloForum.com right now, you can watch an hour and a half of Hal…
