Looks like no One One Se7en today. Hope you get better, Stuntmutt! Mythomania is a terrible affliction.(Louis Wu 15:35:08 UTC)

A 2old2play regular, BatmanKM, has done a really cool retro-comic-cover of the MC. Looks great! Thanks to King Drewsky for the note.(mnemesis 15:33:39 UTC)

Angry Robot had a few Halo-related items yesterday that I forgot to post. They played through the first two games (writeup and video), wrote up a rant on cliffhangar endings (specifically, Halo 2’s), and then played through Halo 3 for a few hours and did a podcast afterwards. Check it out, and thanks to daragh.(mnemesis…

Back at home, after a crazy few days in Seattle… it’s amazing how much news mnemesis and KP managed to post in the last couple of days. You’d almost think I was expendable… heh. Where did I go? Well, Microsoft hosted an event titled ‘Community Lock-In’ – and I played some Halo 3. And stuff.…

If you’ve been itching to discuss Halo 3 with your fellow halo.bungie.org pals, then I’ve got great news for ya. The forum should reopen in just a few hours! So just scratch that itch for a leeetle bit longer, ‘kay?(Ding 13:08:06 UTC)

Not everybody is happy about today’s Halo 3 release. Mega64 has the whole story on that. Thanks, Zeouterlimits.(mnemesis 20:12:31 UTC)

Target4Hire checked in with the Limited Edition version of the Halo 3 acronym. C’mon, there must be a Legendary owner out there somewhere!(mnemesis 19:52:58 UTC)

Bungie had a pretty swanky party last night, prior to heading out to local Seattle-area retailers for the the midnight madness festivities. Here are a few pictures from that evening. See if you can spot any familiar faces.(mnemesis 19:49:23 UTC)

I’m speechless.(mnemesis 19:45:33 UTC)

Another new Top Story at B.Net for you today, this time on campaign scoring. Sketch details how all of the factors involved in this new aspect of the game work together to maximize the coolness.(mnemesis 18:25:43 UTC)

Zeouterlimits writes to point out just how awesome MIT hackers can be. That rocks.(mnemesis 18:14:28 UTC)

Lest we forget, there’s a new acronym to contend with now. Not sure if the Limited or Legendary editions are the same, but I’m sure someone will let us know…(mnemesis 17:56:14 UTC)

Never ones to waste time, the tricking community has already been hard at work on Halo 3. If you head over to The Hushed Casket, rapture, Devin, Goatrope, and jayWHY have already got a tricking video available with what looks like at least two significant easter eggs (the Grunt sounds are AWESOME – that Joe…

Sparkypinball heard Los Angeles-area morning show hosts Kevin and Bean talking on-air about how Halo 3 comes out, and what a big deal it is, and how they don’t get it, so he took it upon himself to email them and fill them in on some of the details. Long story short, he’ll be on…

Just two reviews for you right now. I’m sure there will be more later, but for now, check these out. First, the Detroit Free Press picks a lucky reader to help them review Halo 3.
