Wow, shinesevens sent us a link to a Korean gaming site – you can use Google to translate it, but really what you want are the pictures on the bottom. Now THOSE are some cool marketing tools!(Louis Wu 15:59:44 UTC)

Warbow sent along a new Calvin and Halo this morning – I think Calvin needs some tact lessons.(Louis Wu 15:17:48 UTC)

Kanbo was at PAX yesterday, as well – he played a lot of HaloClix. And took a bunch of pictures. Check out his posts!(Louis Wu 13:23:35 UTC)

The big news last night was at PAX, the gaming event put on by the Penny Arcade boys up in Seattle. Every year, there’s an Omegathon, but this year the final game wasn’t a classic from days of yore, it was Halo 3. There are writeups at Joystiq (thanks, Trunks), our own forum (thanks, CougRon),…

Jamie98s has released a new music video, set to Strata’s Night Falls – it tells the story of mysterious murders on Turf, and a solution to the problem. Great effects. You can download it in WMP9 or Quicktime formats over at GamingTV. Thanks, trigger119.(Louis Wu 12:13:07 UTC)

Wow. If you live in Australia or New Zealand, you need to check this out. Pidgeo is giving away a Halo 3 Special Edition Xbox 360, plus a Halo 3 poster, signed by Frankie and Lars Bakken – all you need to do to win is send your best Halo or Halo 2 gameplay story…

MasterChief2829 noticed a post at Gamer’s Creed that contains a video interview with Harter Ryan, Ensemble’s executive producer, which mentions a ‘demo’ for Halo Wars which will be hitting Xbox Live Marketplace sometime today. Before you get TOO excited, though – Magni Harvald found a description of this demo over at Computer and Video Games.…

Sigafoos let us know that The Riot 62 is now up – the longest podcast they’ve put up in a while, at 46 minutes (and nearly 19 mb), it contains community news, clan updates, an interview with a member of Team Awesomeness, and more zombies than you can shake a torn arm at.(Louis Wu 19:48:26…

I’m not sure I understand how this works – but Team Conquest, HaloResort, and Spartan286 are hosting Resort Circuit, an event that brings Halo 1’s Race gametype to Halo 2 – for money. (I think.) Read more details in KingChuck’s forum post.(Louis Wu 17:25:48 UTC)

halosavior sent word of The Flood, a project to honor Halo on the eve of Halo 3. They (Abyss Studios) are looking for content folks are willing to submit to them that they can showcase just before Halo 3 is released. You can read more details in this forum post, and get a sense for…

Achievement Junkie was on hand at the Leipzig show, and has now posted a Hands-on of the Halo 3 level they played there. (Louis Wu 12:57:10 UTC)

Flustered pointed out a piece put together by a New Zealand TV station – Frankie talks about the Peter Jackson connection without saying very much. (He’s good at that.) Nice clip, anyway. (Louis Wu 12:55:13 UTC)

FireDragon04 has started a website devoted to Halo theories – his first movie is up. Go see what you think. (Louis Wu 12:52:13 UTC)

In 2001, Matt Soell let us know that Halo had gone Gold. In 2004, we received official word again, this time from SketchFactor. We’ve received no public word this time around – but this screenshot posted by Lamonster (and the Halo 3 entry on Frankie’s Mygamercard.com profile – thanks, FuzzyWhisper) would suggest that the game…

Elnea stopped by to point out the latest few episodes of Halo Action Figure Theater – just remember, half the battle to beating an addiction is admitting you have a problem.(Louis Wu 12:24:51 UTC)

Major Silva noticed that DigitalPh33r has released “Master Chief Sucks at Halo 2”, a sequel to ‘Master Chief Sucks at Halo’. This one is as profanity-laced as the original, and as on-target with its lampooning of teamkililng griefers on Xbox Live. I thought it was pretty funny.(Louis Wu 12:21:42 UTC)

An article at Ars Technica looks at the upcoming HaloClix release from WizKids – and warns of story spoilers that will be available before Halo 3 ships. Hmm…(Louis Wu 13:51:51 UTC)

There’s a boatload of new content at the Xbox.com Halo 3 portal – check out the Articles section, for example. Too many to list – just go through ’em. Poke around!(Louis Wu 13:48:26 UTC)
