AnTi PRO, from Arm The Flag, let us knwo about a trailer for their upcoming movie, ‘Epic Machinima’. I’ts a spoof of every overdone idea in machinima, all in one place. You can find download links (and comment on the project) in this HaloGrid thread.(Louis Wu 21:14:55 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy has a whole bunch of goodies to show you; starting off, there’s a Master Chief helmet created in Forge. (I thought I’d seen this before – but I can’t find it in our news.) Then, she mentions an auction for an item she does NOT want you bidding on – because she wants…

Bryn ‘ofthehi77’ Casey let us know that he’d created four new Halo images – we’ve added them to his Gallery section here. Check out Arbiter, Sierra117, Tunnel, and Feet First into Hell. Wow – these would look wonderful on your wall! (Louis Wu 11:49:41 UTC)

Today’s episode of Another Halo Comic Strip isn’t NSFW… but it’s close. Still… I like it. And it WAS a very good year. That’s it for AHCS until 2008!(Louis Wu 11:45:40 UTC)

Ouch. So a couple of days ago, gunluva brought a challenge from the Falling Sands Game forum – some Halo lovers over there wanted to challenge HBO regulars to a few rounds of Halo. Apparently, they’re better at the Falling Sand Game than Halo – the HBO team (made up of gunluva, Major Silva, and…

Wow, awesome. If you’re on the right list, apparently, you get a giant chocolate Master Chief from Microsoft. Now THAT’S pretty. Thanks, Peronthious.(Louis Wu 11:31:26 UTC)

There are some great pics of McFarlane’s rendition of the Arbiter over at Kotaku – this figure won’t be for sale until June, but you can see what it’ll look like now. I’d agree with Luke Plunkett’s assessment – those feet are HUGE. (These are, of course, also available at their home site, Spawn.com -…

Luke McKay has finished the doodle he started in late September (we mentioned it here) – check it out in his Gallery section! Once again – Halo 3 spoiler warning.(Louis Wu 20:22:01 UTC)

Bryan Salvador sent us some photos of his cardboard Mjolnir Armor and assault rifle – nice work!(Louis Wu 13:36:58 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy found a customized Halo 3 Hot Wheels car on eBay – it ain’t cheap, but it’s pretty slick! (I’m not sure, in fact, why it’s Halo-themed… but hey, I guess that’s where the money is.)(Louis Wu 13:35:56 UTC)

RVideo created a gorgeous panorama of Standoff – its 3729×1108 pixels, and you should look at it.(Louis Wu 13:33:25 UTC)

lAbsolutel let us know about Dystopia, Part 1 – it’s the story of a possessed mongoose? Or something. Not bad!(Louis Wu 13:27:21 UTC)

Elnea’s posted Episode 107 of her Halo Action Figure Theater – looks like Lois is channeling… something. I’m getting confused again…(Louis Wu 13:17:23 UTC)

Nine new pieces for you this week in the Fan Fiction section – go read!(Louis Wu 13:15:12 UTC)

There aren’t any references in this article – but it suggests that Halo 3 cost £15 million (about $30 million) to develop, not including marketing costs.
