ArmedDragon77 has a lot of vehicle kills – and now he’s got a new vehicular montage. 8 and a half minutes of boom, splat, boom. Go watch.(Louis Wu 16:58:25 UTC)

dCon V pointed out a pretty decent deal on Halo-themed belt buckles and wallets at ThingFling; $9.99 (plus $6 s/h, though that doesn’t go up if you buy more than one batch) gets you 10 assorted wallets and buckles. Pretty cheap, given what they USED to sell for! You’ve got about 14 hours from the…

chris101b ran across some bizarre behavior near the end of ODST’s campaign – looks like Bungie’s artists were having some internet meme fun during development. If you haven’t finished the campaign, some of the wording in his post might be considered spoiler material – but the picture he presents is not. Funny stuff! (I wish…

Red vs Blue Recreation Chapter 18 (‘Hang Time’) went live last night – things are definitely getting messy. Do we know what’s going on? No… not really. Church learns he’s a god… but one with limited powers. Simmons learns he can’t see invisible stuff. And the greatest car chase evar takes place on Sandtrap. Go…

Tommy92l has released ‘I am a Spartan’ – sometimes, you just gotta fight. Even when your target isn’t fighting back.(Louis Wu 12:20:03 UTC)

CaptainTony noticed that there’s artwork and a short summary of Marvel’s Blood Line #2 over at Marvel.com – go look!(Louis Wu 22:49:46 UTC)

There’s a new Tag and Release article up on Bungie.net – ‘Alpha Site’ is the phrase of the week. Go see how they did!(Louis Wu 19:18:25 UTC)

GrimBrother One noticed that Kotaku has a preview of the upcoming last.fm app on Xbox Live – looks like it’s going to have a dedicated Marty O’Donnell channel! (Louis Wu 18:41:43 UTC)

So, earlier today, I posted the standard Monday Comic Roundup – Halo-related comics that hit the web since Friday. We had a special treat for you – Stuntmutt dug himself out of his cave for a limited engagement, and kicked off a week-long series of strips. (There’s even a bonus strip right now in our…

Halo Waypoint has sent out some press materials; we’ve posted the release, a whole passel of screenshots, and a 30 mb video preview of the service, which goes live on November 5. Swing by and see what you’re in for!(Louis Wu 17:49:26 UTC)

Futur Life stopped in to let us know about ‘Band of Spartans, Episode 1’, a French-made machinima weighing in at nearly 20 minutes. (Futur Life suggests that the emotions are understandable in all languages.) Take a look!(Louis Wu 17:46:46 UTC)

Apparently, there are some waters off Longshore that allow floating… so what have Grifball fanatics done with this info? Why, created a Water Polo variant of their insanely popular game, of course. ell3ment and Gunnergrun have whipped up a map called “Ocean Arena”, and a gametype known as “Grifball of the Sea” – you can…

If you read the October 9th Bungie Weekly Update, you saw a pretty cool Halo 3: ODST-themed BMW. Now you have a chance to actually grab that car, from Turn 10 – they’re giving away three customized cars to folks who have preordered, and that ODST Beemer is one of ’em. Read this page on…

Wanna watch some splattering? Stewie2552’s fifth montage to the activity is now live – thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 16:50:05 UTC)

Some fun stuff today in the comic roundup – we’ve got our standard Sunday Grin + Bear It (interesting uses for Engineers!), we’ve got a Halo mention in this morning’s AppleGeeks Light (thanks to many, first was Jim 028) – this explains a LOT of things – and we’ve got a very special treat for…

FassinTaak whipped up a Shepard Fairey-style poster of the Prophet of Regret – would make a nice wall hanging. Take a look!(Louis Wu 12:50:09 UTC)

Whoa – Brandon pointed out a pair of videos from Kre8-fx, showing off the start of an animatronic Elite costume being whipped up for Halloween – (the first shows off the servo controls for the jaws, while the second – much shorter – shows off the moving eyeballs, along with lots of other small but…

Last night’s episode of The Simpsons – ‘Treehouse of Horror XX’ (available here on Hulu, sponsored by Halo 3: ODST) has a fun Halo reference – Jimbo is dressed as the Master Chief. Looks like bluerunner was first on our forum with the update!(Louis Wu 12:46:23 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy found a pretty funny little clip – looks like grenades do more than explode! (Louis Wu 12:45:50 UTC)

Darkspire Films is back – and the first of several new shows is “The Candy Coated Wonder Road”. Can you picture a Halo-based children’s show? You don’t have to – they’ve built one. The first episode is “Friends”, and the music is infectious. Well… healing, but… oh, never mind. Go watch.(Louis Wu 12:38:49 UTC)
