gunluva whipped out a posterboard machine gun turret yesterday – not bad for 30 minutes work!(Louis Wu 10:54:24 UTC)

Big Goalie Dan stopped by to point out that Podtacular 134 is now up – and hour and 22 minutes long, 40 mb large, and full of tales from the foxholes. Go listen!(Louis Wu 10:50:51 UTC)

After a very long hiatus, Mister Froggy is back with a new episode of Halo, Articulated, skewering Marvel Comics for the delays over the Halo comic book. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 10:47:37 UTC)

Sigafoos writes to let us know about The Riot 73. It’s their birthday tomorrow. Go listen – 30 mins, 12 mb.(Louis Wu 20:06:25 UTC)

V10L3N7 JAY stopped by to announce that Section 3 Issue #10 is now online. Looks like the Spartans might be facing some tricky times ahead…(Louis Wu 18:08:48 UTC)

Phoenix42 sent us a note yesterday, pointed out a glitch he’d discovered on Narrows. I’d been meaning to test this out myself – but he’s posted it on our forum now, so someone else can confirm it.(Louis Wu 17:49:59 UTC)

Over at HaloGrid.com, Two Eight Six recreated the Weapon Bold Hoody design (from the Bungie Store) on Construct. Pics can be found in Trindacut’s post on our forum.(Louis Wu 17:47:47 UTC)

Yesterday, the latest episode of Pure Pwnage was released – and Jeremy gets all into Halo 3 (until, of course, he hits a snag). If you’ve never watched this series before, you should start at the beginning – we haven’t mentioned it here because (up to now) it’s focused on PC gaming, but it’s a…

PEZ let us know that there’s an article about coordinated multipoint attacks in Halo 3 over at halowiki.net – go see.(Louis Wu 17:09:23 UTC)

MasterChief2829 noticed another MadTV skit starring their Master Chief – swing by GameTrailers to watch it.(Louis Wu 14:23:24 UTC)

Mitsur was fastest to tell us about a new piece of artwork from popular Deviant reiq, over at DeviantART – Cortana’s looking a little sexier than usual. (Warning – if you poke around the rest of his gallery, be aware ahead of time that much of it is NSFW.)(Louis Wu 14:21:22 UTC)

PALGN has an article on the Game1 2007 Expo in Australia (which just wrapped up) – the very first picture in the piece shows a structure I’d LOVE to have in my backyard. Halo was on display at the show, and Halo 3 tourneys were held all day long. Sounds like a fun time!(Louis Wu…

Canada.com has an article on Video Games Live, and how it’s actually received by the orchestras they play with. Halo gets only a tiny mention, but it’s an interesting article nonetheless.(Louis Wu 14:13:57 UTC)

Z pointed out a new Halo 2 montage called Shellshock – good gameplay, nice editing. Lots of extras. The download package is over 130 mb (though the actual movie, in .mp4 format, is under 90 mb). Go watch.(Louis Wu 14:11:01 UTC)

Greg, at Music4Games, was the first to let us know about the Official Halo 3 Soundtrack website – it’s full of goodies. You can listen to snippets of songs, watch a short (but well-done) remix of the audio portion of the Making Of documentary found on the Essentials Disc One of the Limited and Legendary…

Elnea is getting closer and closer to Halo Action Figure Theater Episode 100. She SAYS there won’t be any more non-integer versions between here and there, so 99 (posted last night) should be a decent setup… it’s getting scary.(Louis Wu 18:09:10 UTC)

ZZoMBiE13 made a connection that seems obvious in retrospect in the latest installment of Another Halo Comic Strip. Warning – there are Halo 3 story spoilers here. (That said, I think this is brilliant.)(Louis Wu 16:11:49 UTC)

PEZ let us know that that over at halowiki.net, there’s a new article from Mr killtacular discussing situational awareness in Halo 3 – know your surroundings, and die less. Go read. (Louis Wu 16:07:01 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update is live – it focuses on the new Heatmaps you can see in your Bungie.net profile, but also has dollops of info about upcoming downloadable content, the Halo 3 soundtrack, and a very cool coincidence; almost 3 years to the day from its release, Halo 2 will see its 777,777,777th game…

Today’s One One Se7en looks at one of the ways folks fleshed out their Halo 3 Achievement lists. (Stuntmutt’s not kidding, either; it’s too bad the achievement list on Xbox.com doesn’t look like your own Xbox…)(Louis Wu 17:53:49 UTC)
