I looked for this yesterday morning, but IGN updates late. IGN’s posted their Top 10 Halo 3 Kills of the Week – nothing spectacular, but lots of clutch plays for the rest of us. Thanks, BuzzJuice, for waiting longer than I did.(Louis Wu 12:49:57 UTC)

Closing in on that 100th round, the latest Caption Fun offering from Hawty McBloggy shows off last week’s best captions, and offers a new image that has most people thinking about ‘No Girls Allowed’. (How would you know if that Spartan on the ground i…

They didn’t make the May 31 deadline… but the latest Bungie Podcast is now live, just a couple of days late. No Luke, but Sketch and Urk have guests Chris Carney, Josh Hamrick, and Chris Gossett in their discussion about the Reach Beta wrapup. 1:17 long (heh), 75 mb. Go grab a copy!(Louis Wu 17:44:38…

There’s been a bit of discussion about campaign-oriented Halo Custom Edition creations recently – and ArteenEsben posted a bunch of links today to content he just uploaded that you can check out. Awesome!(Louis Wu 17:36:16 UTC)

A few days ago, we mentioned bevbor’s life-sized cardboard Banshee – he’s finished it. It’s amazing. You can see a video showing the final build, and a Flickr photoset with some great shots from every angle.(Louis Wu 12:57:25 UTC)

So someone went to a convention dressed as Cortana… and the part of the picture that Hawty McBloggy focuses on is the guy in the background ogling her. That woman is so predictable… (Great pic, though.)(Louis Wu 12:56:18 UTC)

Minime637 noticed a quiz at IGN – which Halo character are you? Turns out it’s a little more extensive than it appeared to me… but I still wasn’t happy with the choices.(Louis Wu 12:54:56 UTC)

Wow, cool beans. Bungie’s got a guy on staff doing mocap – and when he needs a prop weapon, he builds one. Well… the frame of one. Because it’s mocap, and there’s no need for the whole thing. (In fact, the whole thing gets in the way.) Very fun article at Bungie.net – go read…

Interested in seeing what’s on tap during the month of June, in terms of Double XP Weekend playlists? FyreWulff’s got your back. (Louis Wu 19:33:24 UTC)

chris101b created a bunch of short video clips he calls ‘Things You Won’t Expect’ during the Reach Beta – the first one went live on Monday. (It had been seen a number of times, in a number of montages, so I didn’t bother to front-page it.) The second one is live now – it’s received…

Just a pair of new videos in Bungie’s Comm Chatter today: The Spartan 1 Project team has put together a full-blown trailer for their Annual Achievement services (funny stuff!), and Mini Waz created the Halo: Reach Beta Bash – it’s another Reach montage. Go watch!(Louis Wu 17:59:44 UTC)

If you’re looking for a new Halo wallpaper, you might wanna swing by Smyf’s gallery at DeviantART – lots and lots of cool choices. Thanks to urk for the heads-up!(Louis Wu 17:59:15 UTC)

The latest Chronicles of ODS Steve (#73) is now live at Hawty McBloggy’s – I’m pretty sure you don’t want to be standing next to a giant bomb when things go BOOM nearby.(Louis Wu 17:45:12 UTC)

Pete Cooper stopped in with some very nice shots of the Battle Rifle they’ll be using on the set of Operation Chastity. Love it!(Louis Wu 16:30:43 UTC)
