Many people are annoyed by the delays occurring with the Halo: Uprising comic from Marvel. Judging by today’s One One Se7en, Stuntmutt is one of them.(Louis Wu 18:47:22 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue has gone back to the poster-edged look for Reclaimer – Chapter Two, Part Five looks great, and makes it clear that the Viper team is in trouble. (Louis Wu 11:24:52 UTC)

After being posted a couple of days late last week, the weekly Fan Fiction update is back on track. This week’s offering is understandably light – six pieces. Go read!(Louis Wu 11:20:50 UTC)

stan has proven that he has way, way, WAY too much time on his hands. (Louis Wu 11:18:17 UTC)

1UP has put together a graphical summary of the Halo 3 storyline, for folks who might be confused about certain points. Not all the info is canon (for example, I was under the impression that Installation 05 was closer to Earth than Installation 04), but in general, it’s a decent overview, in an entertaining format.…

Don was the first to let us know about an article on Yahoo! Games – it’s another summary of games that might be up on the big screen in the forseeable future. Halo’s on the list, though the project is currently in limbo. Yahoo is pessimistic about the chances that a decent flick coming out…

Halo3.junk.ws is quickly becoming the place to go to look at your Halo 3 stats; the options they offer over Bungie.net are ridiculous. They’ve just added a game browser that lets you filter your games based on more than 20 parameters – date played, game length, headshots, type of medals… you can see exactly how…

The ‘Break it Down’ blog looks at a couple of articles that detail the evolution of water in video games… and decides that Halo 3 is better than any of the games they looked at. Go read why!(Louis Wu 21:07:44 UTC)

Due to some true foolishness, Another Halo Comic Strip has been offline for several hours – but it’s back now, with a new funny. Hmm… I’m not sure ‘funny’ is the right word, in this particular case… in fact, some of you may wish I’d kept the site broken after reading it. In any case,…

Microsoft’s Larry Larsen went into the Microsoft company store with a camera to take some cool footage of pieces of the huge diorama built for the Believe ad. Taylor Smith, of the Xbox Global Marketing Team, helps to explain what you’re looking at. Amazing stuff.(Louis Wu 20:22:29 UTC)

On Essentials, Disc One (the disc that comes with both the Limited and Legendary Editions of Halo 3) is a six-part documentary called ‘Anatomy of a Game: Making Halo 3’. (We reviewed it just before Halo 3 was released.) One of those parts focuses on Halo’s story – and that piece, reshuffled a bit, is…

I’ve you’ve never seen a Video Games Live concert – they’ll be on TV during Spike TV’s 2007 Video Game Awards, airing December 9. Thanks to Music 4 Games for the full details.(Louis Wu 18:58:24 UTC)

Another Top X list – this time it’s at IGN, and it’s the Top 100 Games of All Time. (Well, the 2007 edition, anyway.) You can read a summary of their older rankings in last year’s newspost – but the bottom line is, Halo’s slipping. In 2003, it was 39th. 2004 – 18th (but this…

Jimmy Jangles wrote a not-safe-for-work essay on why Halo 3 is better than sex. Um… yeah. You decide.(Louis Wu 18:13:44 UTC)

The Angry Pixel has comiled their list of the Top Ten Best Weapons in an FPS. I look askance at any top 10 list that contains two Turok references in it… but hey, to each his own. Halo 3’s Gravity Hammer comes in at #8. Thanks, mjolnir15.(Louis Wu 18:06:34 UTC)

Rockslider has taken a bit of time to write up a tutorial explaining how to create multiple Halo 3 saves without having to play through for each one. Given that it seems to exploit a set of circumstances that might or might not be closed to exploits in the future, this might not work forever……

Over at The Hushed Casket, D15AV0W3D has taken a look at all three Halo games, and tried to figure out which one is ‘best’. Go read his rationale, and see if you agree! Thanks to Narcogen, at Rampancy.net, for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 16:24:57 UTC)

Time Glitch asked Frankie about the Weapon Lowering feature in Halo 3, and why it only works offline. Frankie told him that they just weren’t able to justify the testing resources needed to ensure this glitch wasn’t exploitable in online play. (This didn’t go over very well with the respondents – either on our forum,…

McFarlane is offering an exclusive Active Camouflage Spartan, in EVA armor; if you’re interested, you MUST preorder it from the Spawn Store. The figure will be released in March 2008, and will sell for $12.99. The preorder period began yesterday, and ends on December 12. GamesBond007 was the first to let us know, though if…

Fanportal-World has interviewed Zukan, a Halo machinima maker who’s been off the scene for a bit (he got sick). Great read. Thanks, Lordstemplar1.(Louis Wu 14:06:27 UTC)
