Zukan has released the original music he did for the Innocent Minds film (we mentioned it back in August). You can grab the music from a post on the GamingTV forum – but you’ll have to be registered to see it. Five tracks (two are bonus). Thanks, trigger119. Update: trigger119 has fixed it so that…

Mukelo wanted to remind everyone that the contest at Invalid Mob Gaming for best File Share clip (we mentioned it a couple of weeks ago) is over tomorrow – you’ve still got time, and there are only 18 entries so far! Get your clip in, and you’ve got a shot at a 1-month XBL Gold…

Almost didn’t make the day’s cutoff… but the two cutscenes from Floodgate are now posted in our Halo 3 Cutscene Library. The final scene is pretty long…(Louis Wu 22:29:54 UTC)

Last week, we mentioned a rumor that seemingly built itself out of nothing – Stuntmutt takes it all one step further, in today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 17:38:59 UTC)

Elnea has gone a bit overboard; Episode 98.2 of her Halo Action Figure Theater (yes, she’s trying to save the good stuff for ep 100, which means we might see a 98.74 one day) involves not just Halo action figures, not just cans of cat food, not just hardware like a lightbox… but PUDDING. Vanilla…

Recovery One: Part One is now available for Sponsors on the Rooster Teeth website. If you’re not a sponsor, you can grab it for 80 points on Xbox Live (that’s a buck). It picks up (sort of) where Out of Mind left off – I’m not really sure where Wyoming came (back) from… but I’m…

akemos is selling a Halo door mat he acquired after the Xbox Launch period back in 2001 – if you’re interested, the eBay auction ends in 4 days. (Louis Wu 13:24:08 UTC)

Interesting… Rox pointed out some writing/symbols/shapes that can be found on a variety of levels, from Sandtrap to Construct – does it mean anything to anyone? (I know as soon as I saw the Sandtrap version, I immediately went looking for the ‘Ancient Halo’ wallpaper Dave Candland created several years ago – but unfortunately, as…

We missed a level yesterday, in our release of Halo 3 cutscenes, so today you get both Tsavo Highway’s closing cutscene, and The Storm’s closing cutscene. Powerful stuff!(Louis Wu 22:28:49 UTC)

Folks – it’s just three days to Halloween – that’s how much time you’ve got left to submit your entry to our Guilt O’ Lantern contest. CARVE THOSE PUMPKINS!(Louis Wu 22:25:26 UTC)

bs “Hawty McBloggy” angel has been interviewed by TriXie, for the Gamer Spotlight section of Xbox.com. Go see what makes her so cool. Great read. Thanks, Mintz. (Louis Wu 22:07:04 UTC)

Wow, very cool. Cody Miller took a speedrun of Tsavo Highway (done by Simpsons Rule and someone else), and refilmed it in the style of Gran Turismo. It’s four and a half minutes long, and a lot of fun to watch. Go see!(Louis Wu 22:00:05 UTC)

Leader of Blind let us know that Abyss Studios has the first two episodes of their Halo 2 miniseries, ‘Saving the Secret’, online and viewable. Part 1 went up before Halo 3 came out, but Part 2 went live on Friday. It’s Halo 2-based, but pretty well-done. (Louis Wu 21:52:39 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue let us know about a couple of new projects – the first is a collection of artistic screenshots he’s taken, the second is a Halo-based comic strip he’s building from Halo 3 screenshots. (There are a couple of pages already – the series starts here.) Both projects are pretty high-quality – check ’em…

Sigafoos let us know that The Riot 71 is now up – 34 minutes, 14 mb, ramblings about the website, the community, and totally non-Halo-related stuff. Brathnok works very hard at making Sigafoos look dumb. You’ll have to decide if he succeeds. (Louis Wu 20:53:38 UTC)

Dean Takahashi is addicted to Halo. Go read why.(Louis Wu 17:39:50 UTC)

Maximum Fear is setting up a league for Bungie.net groups – 4v4 team slayer, consisting of about 30 teams. If you’re interested, swing by the group he’s set up for the purpose!(Louis Wu 17:38:06 UTC)

I love this stuff. Omega did a pretty nice job of estimating the size of a large (possibly spoilerish) item on ‘The Storm’, using a fan-generated method for getting to a measuring spot, and known info about the Halo universe itself. (Louis Wu 17:35:24 UTC)

A couple of Marty O’Donnell tidbits: Simen went to see the Play! concert in Norway on Friday, and the Halo music was introduced by Marty (a recorded message – youtubed about two thirds of the way down the page)… and Anton P. Nym noticed that Marty will be participating in a panel at the LA…

Mid7night continues his X-Plane shenanigans – this time, he’s built a replica of Halo (the second level of the first game) in X-Plane. Go look! (Louis Wu 17:16:55 UTC)
