If you’re headed to the Australian TechEd 2007 conference in Queensland, Australia this weekend, you’ve got a shot at one of fifty extremely limited-edition Halo 3 hoodies to be given away there; pictures available at the istartedsomething blog. Mmm…..

This one’s pretty odd – The Halo 3 Albania Project is a video documentary of an effort to bring Halo 3 to Albania… or more specifically to a Peace Corps volunteer working in Albania. There’s no actual footage up yet, but there are clips from both th…

bs angel has posted a July in Review article on her Hawty McBloggy gamer blog – there are a number of stories we missed. Some are Halo related, some are more generally gamer-related. All are thoughtfully written, and entertaining. Go see what she’s go…

The Dallas Morning News has an article about the marketability of video games… and Halo 2 is playing a large part in that. (Louis Wu 18:35:14 UTC)

Whoops! With all the excitement I completely forgot about the Bungie Podcast that was posted on B.Net yesterday afternoon. Luke, Frank, and Brian talk with each other and with Test Lead Jamie Evans about testing, bugs, four-player coop, a REAL studio…

This was actually posted a couple of days ago on Gamerscoreblog, but we didn’t get around to mentioning it… but there’s still time for you to act. Marathon: Durandal for Xbox Live Arcade goes onsale at 9 am GMT on Wednesday (that’s today, and it’s a…

In honor of today’s release of Marathon: Durandal, Stuntmutt checks in with a very special One One Se7en. Somewhere in the heavens… …they are groaning.(mnemesis 07:03:34 UTC)

1up has a preview of the third mission in Halo 3 over at their site, for those that are interested in that sort of thing. 😉 (Thanks, Fonz) I won’t mention what the title of the third mission is, but for those that are trying to remain spoiler-free…

GamerTV has put up an interview with Richard Boisvert, aka Major.Dump, discussing how he got into animation, and what he’s got in store for the future. Check it out, and thanks to trigger119 for the heads-up.(mnemesis 05:24:12 UTC)

The first of the Red vs. Blue transition episodes we mentioned the other day is available over at GameStop, among other places. Oh, I hope the new Needler works like that. Thanks Nitro288.(mnemesis 05:14:31 UTC)

Luke Smith confirmed (over on the NeoGAF boards) that online coop for Halo 3 is in, and supports four players. I’d give that a double W00t! and a couple of Wongas! to boot! Thanks, Phatcorns.(mnemesis 18:53:47 UTC)

Nick Singer posted a Marathon/Halo remix a few days ago – it was pretty well-received (I even heard positive rumblings from Marty about it). He’s back, with a new one (descriptively titled ‘Marathon Mix 2’ – heh); it mashes up Chomber and Under a Nigh…

Sears is selling the original Halo for Xbox for under $10 – if you need a spare copy or two, this isn’t a bad chance. Thanks, Jason.(Louis Wu 15:58:01 UTC)

Amazing – a tiny internet-enabled window; I’ll see if I can post a few things and take the load off the crew. Adam Grumbo sent us a link to the Mjolnir Armor forums, where there are photos of officially-licenced Mjolnir armor done by Rubies. Opinion o…

Got another message from trigger119, this time pointing out the trailer for the next project from CROSSFIRE, Innocent Minds. Nice work!(mnemesis 03:48:49 UTC)

Mister Froggy writes to let us know that Halo, Articulated #61 is available if you’re into that kind of thing (heh, Sarge speaks the tru7h).(mnemesis 03:20:03 UTC)

Tex has posted a thorough wrap-up of the activities she experienced over the past week at Comic-Con. She took some very cool pictures and overall has a great summary of everything Halo-related that you could have seen in San Diego last week. And let th…
