Mid7night has made his Pelican Dropship, along with his Warthog, both for X-Plane, available for download – check his forum post for full details.(Louis Wu 14:17:58 UTC)

The Halo 3 Data Archive has an editorial piece on the Beta called ‘Betarded’ – they look at the new GamePro info, for example. Poke around the rest of the site; there are a bunch of other updates, as well. Thanks, Lyca.(Louis Wu 14:15:40 UTC)

Mister Froggy points out a potential danger of the upcoming Halo 3 Mountain Dew drink in Halo, Articulated #44.(Louis Wu 14:12:22 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update is up – etiquette lessons (yeah, like the worst offenders are actually gonna READ this), some fun campaign nuggets, details (along with better-than-previous pics) of the upcoming HaloClix action figures, and more. Read it at Bu…

We got word from Paul Semel that he’s done a pretty nice interview with Brian Jarrard about Halo 3 – some interesting questions and answers. Swing by The Wire to read about it!(Louis Wu 22:56:05 UTC)

There’s a discussion right now on our forum about the new Hill Bungie’s developed for King of the Hill games in Halo 3. Stuntmutt’s view on this seems to echo my own – check today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 16:32:42 UTC)

Jobyn stopped by to point out an interview with DTS Wheels, of the Tied the Leader Gunslingers, in the current issue of The Blue Skittle magazine. The man’s pretty eloquent – go read about the philosophy of the clan, and what they’re trying to do in t…

Rockslider gave us a visit to point out a new section in his Bad Cyborg collection of Halo 1 campaign extension ideas. This one is more of a lark than many – but geez, he’s coming up with new ways to get enjoyment from a game released almost 6 years a…

Only six new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section this week… short reading!(Louis Wu 14:08:12 UTC)

This week’s Halo Humpday Challenge was a bit fairer than last week – It was Frankie vs Sketch vs Luke vs RvB’s Burnie Burns. (Well, they paired up in each game, playing Double Team – but it was different pairs each time.) Astoundingly enough, Sketch w…

The guys at 1Up are running a short poll on the Halo 3 Beta – results will be published in the August issue of EGM (which hits newsstands on July 3). It’s pretty short (about 15 questions) – so if you’ve been playing in the Beta (or even if you haven’…

JeBr0nie noticed that the third and final part of the discussion between MTV’s Stephen Totilo and Newsweek’s N’Gai Croal is now available for reading. (We mentioned Round 1 and Round 2 in the last couple of days.) This one contains suggestions of how …

Sodagod wrote to point out a new Machine Enema project… ‘Bench’. A janitor discovers a homicidal… sitting place? This one’s pretty odd… but as with all Machine Enema projects, it’s really, really well-done. Worth the download. Almost 8 minutes l…

Cocopjojo noticed that Amazon has what looks to be an official-looking picture for the Halo 3 box art; we know what the Legendary Edition looks like, and we know what the Limited Edition looks like… but as far as I know, no official packaging for th…

WorthPlaying took a look at Halo 2 Vista – they felt it’s a bit dated, but “a worthwhile title despite its age, and it’s a prime example of how a console-to-PC port can be done properly”. Nice.(Louis Wu 14:26:09 UTC)

Sane Intolerant wrote to let us know that he’s got three new comics up in his Halo Toy Box series. Average Life and Sans The Bellfry [sic] look at Halo 3 Beta gameplay, and Don’t Do Nectar uses Halo characters to look at the upcoming game ‘Haze’. Chec…

Very cool. Linnea and OboeCrazy were interviewed by Luke over at Bungie.net – ostensibly because of their unsettling ‘I Want Master Chief’ – but the interview touches on many, many subjects; go learn a little more about these women! (Maybe you’ll figu…

trigger119 sent us a link to Shadow of the Day, a new video from HaloGrid’s blackouTT. Tells a solid story with nothing but action, and some subtitles; cinematic effects are really well-done. For all the people who say “I don’t have good voice actors,…

Frankie discussed the graphics of Halo 3 (what you’ve seen, and what you haven’t) with the folks at Next Generation – give it a read to see what you’re in store for. Thanks, LordGideon.(Louis Wu 19:28:16 UTC)
