The last time we mentioned the Halo: Uprising, a couple of weeks ago, there wasn’t any information about issue 4. Since then, Marvel’s posted an info page for the issue (it’s coming out on October 31, barring delays – thanks, DHalo) – but they’ve also …

Littlebigman pointed out new Halo schwag, coming in September – Halo Topps Trading Cards. Collect your favorites!(Louis Wu 13:41:28 UTC)

DHalo noticed a story at wonderwallweb.com – starting tomorrow, you’ll be able to download some ‘exclusive content’ from a site on msn.com, including a Halo 3 ringtone for your phone. The website is up now, though the downloads page isn’t – you can re…

Not STRICTLY Halo-related… but it’s still worth knowing about (Marathon is, after all, the precursor to your favorite first-person shooter): Luke Smith sat down with Bruce Morrison, of Freeverse, to talk about Marathon: Durandal for XBLA. Great read…

This is simply astounding. Will sent us a link to a video he created to show off a Halo cake he made for a friend. It’s… amazing. You have to watch it. It’s available at break.com, in Flash format, or you can download it from us in WMP9 format (20.2 …

There are a couple of pretty in-depth looks at the E3 trailer – one is from Narcogen, over at Rampancy.net, and comes complete with pictures, the other is from Red Leader, over on the Bungie.net forums. Different viewpoints, a LOT of details. Go see w…

eternalscrappy made a trailer for a machinima project he doesn’t plan on actually making. It’s called Twisted Shadows, and I liked it – I’d love to see the final product. (Yes, I understand that there isn’t one.) Local mirrors (WMP9 and QT) are in thi…

IceWeasel’s back, with a 1.3 mb beauty of stop-motion action. It’s… not what you’d expect.(Louis Wu 13:33:59 UTC)

Wow. Horus stopped by to let us know he’d made a grunt plushie out of scrap materials (check out that needler!)… and his sister made a hunter plushie. I can’t believe I STILL can’t buy something like this! These are awesome.(Louis Wu 13:15:04 UTC)

You know – I’m pretty good about keeping up with comic strips that folks tell me about. I’m even pretty good at reading Elnea’s Halo Action Figure Theater as it’s released… but for some reason, I never remember to POST about that one. Elnea’s come t…

Mister Froggy let us know about Halo, Articulated #57 – there’s been some discussion about Grunts fighting on both sides of the upcoming battles in Halo 3, and this strip suggests one reason why.(Louis Wu 12:44:30 UTC)

It’s Tuesday, so it’s time for a Tied the Leader update – XerxdeeJ stopped by to provide one. There’s a shout-out to the clans that met them honorably on the field of battle, and there’s a plea, of sorts, that Halo 3 will contain some sort of Clan sys…

ManKitten has posted Day 2’s clues for his Treasure Hunt on our forum – this batch seems to rule out a LOT of levels. Go see if it helps you!(Louis Wu 12:34:38 UTC)

BBC has posted a piece on game trailers, and how important they’ve become in the marketing process. It compares Killzone 2 and Halo 3, and the offerings both had at E3. Kroll GB is tickled by the fact that some of the quotes used in the piece were tak…

Imagine my horror and dismay when I discovered that the Wallpaper section hadn’t been updated since JANUARY! January. That’s beyond careless. That’s just silly. Well, I’ve gathered up everything in the queue, up till now, and posted them all up on the…

elitewarrior117 found something you shouldn’t watch. Unless you like karate/spartan exploitation films. Set up for E3, it’s just… wrong.(Louis Wu 01:39:37 UTC)

latekid wanted to know what happened to the daily comic. After you read the most recent One One Se7en, maybe you’ll understand why I blocked its posting out of my mind.(Louis Wu 01:31:59 UTC)

The Blue Skittle has published their July issue – swing by their website to download it in PDF format. It contains a series of articles and interviews about the Halo 3 Beta, along with other gaming stuff. (It’s more about gaming communities than games…

Over at Amped eSports, Andz wrote a preview of the key matches to watch in the upcoming MLG Dallas tourney this weekend. Go read!(Louis Wu 21:13:08 UTC)

Master NOODLE stopped by with a picture of a new tattoo he got this weekend. While we’re showing off tattoos, our woefully underattended Uploads folder contained two more pics – one from zach “xhostilex” kelsey, who’s been working on a Halo 2 sleeve ta…
