HaloFan pointed out an auction on eBay for a Master Chief helmet – you’ve got a bit over 2 days, current bid is $305 (reserve isn’t met yet)… a bunch of nice pics. Go look! (Louis Wu 22:07:14 UTC)

Yesterday, Mad Cow posted a teaser pic of his newest Mjolnir armor creation – we’ve put up a page containing a whole bunch more. You can see progress pics over the last couple of months, and lots and lots of final pics. Go see!(Louis Wu 21:28:41 UTC)

Jillybean awakes from her Halo 3-induced slumber to post a few bits to the Halo Story page… more coming soon!(Louis Wu 19:53:49 UTC)

Late last night, the Guilt O’ Lantern submissions window closed; in the next day or three, we’ll be posting all valid entries online for your perusal and voting enjoyment. You’ll have a week to pick your favorites… and the winners will get some pretty nice schwag bags. I realize this is a bit late to…

Quikthnkr noticed that over at Geek Tragedy, there’s a montage of photos taken from the Manitoba Comic Con – and one of them shows a pretty nice Master Chief outfit! (Local copy of the corner in question, if the original disappears.) (Louis Wu 19:02:25 UTC)

ViralSyris found a whole BUNCH of new stuff at the Bungie store – trading cards, Wall Graffix(s), belt buckles, a passcase (is that just a fancy name for a wallet?), and a messenger bag. Check his forum post for all the links. (Louis Wu 18:45:23 UTC)

BlueNinja decided to turn the Halo 3 story into a comic. He posted some pics, got some feedback, redid his work. The second go-round was pretty well-received… check out the first couple of panels! (Louis Wu 18:43:12 UTC)

LackOfKnowledge pointed out yet another Joe Staten interview, this time over at G4. More questions, more answers. That guy can TALK.(Louis Wu 18:41:30 UTC)

It’s been a crazy day – no updates so far. Let’s see if I can catch up. We’ll start with an article over at Gamer Dad, bemoaning a rating system that classes Halo in with games like Manhunt and GTA. (As Achronos pointed out in the thread started by GryphonOsiris, this is most likely due…

For those of you not too busy playing the new Infection playlist on Xbox Live, the cutscenes for The Covenant (all six of them) are now live in the HBO Halo 3 Cutscene Library. For what it’s worth – this is going to continue to grow after the final level is posted; some of the…

The second half of GameTap’s interview with Joe Staten (the first half was here) is now online – this one ranges from Ghosts of Onyx to Halo 2 to Halo 3 (it contains major ending spoilers for Halo 3, so if you haven’t played it, beware), and has a really sizeable amount of information. Joe…

Stuntmutt has a holiday-themed One One Se7en for you today – for those keeping track, it has a Halo spoiler in it. (If you’re reading One One Se7en, and you’ve never played ANY of the Halo games, but you PLAN to… well, I’m not sure we should be protecting you from spoilers, but…)(Louis Wu 18:17:53…

This is just… wrong.(Louis Wu 16:58:59 UTC)

Z let us know about The Wicked Ending, a huge (270 mb, 14 minutes long) Halo 3 montage from Hysteria and Eli; it’s full of multikills (Killtrocities and up), lots of FFA against MLG pros, and pretty nice editing to boot.
