The Aussie Sneak Peek Event is a few minutes long, and includes footage recorded at the Sydney press event held a week or so ago. There’s a 5-minute interview with Curtis Creamer, recorded at the…

Marty O’Donnell has a Twitter account. Amazing, huh? Reading it can teach you cool stuff… like the fact that the Halo 3: ODST Official Sountrack, coming from O’Donnell and Salvatori, will be available for purchase the same day as the game itself (September 22). Thanks, LoneRanger 2.5 (and SoundEffect and ElusiveEagle519 for the headline expansion).(Louis…

Vash10 pointed out a tiny clip of the tv show Dexter, showing off Dexter playing Halo 3… on a computer. With bizarro sounds. Probably something to do with Microsoft Usage Rules… (Louis Wu 19:18:45 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy ran across a pair of shoes that combine a love for Bioshock and Halo in a very flamboyant way. I don’t think I’d ever wear these – but I’m sure some people would! (Louis Wu 19:18:11 UTC)

Hindsight can be amazing. Gamasutra sat down with Ed Fries, who was the Microsoft VP of Game Publishing when the Xbox hit the market back in 2001, and he had some interesting things to say about Halo. (Well, about a lot of things, but we’re a Halo fansite, after all.) Microsoft had no intention of…

mnemesis ran across an adorable little creature (bottom of the page, labeled ‘Fury of Ragnaros’) you can buy at the BlizzCon store – yeah, it’s a World of Warcraft doodad, but it was created by John ‘Anim8rJB’ Butkus, half of the Cananimator team that built some cool stuff in Halo 2 and Halo 3. Great…

Bryan Simon couldn’t stay away from the community – he’s back, with a new song. And I guess he decided he had to sing about me. (I have that effect on people.) Go watch him sing “The Song for BK’s” on YouTube. Or just download the mp3 from us (3.5 mb). (Louis Wu 16:56:11 UTC)

eckosama stopped by to prove that there are people with more time than… well, pretty much anything. He’s gone back to AotCR, in the original Halo, to put together a gigantic vehicle collection. Have these been done before? Absolutely. Have any of the old ones used every single vehicle in the level? I’m not sure.…
