It’s Monday, so Bungie’s got another Tag and Release feature for you. Today’s tag: ‘Night’. Did they find some cool pics? You bet your nightvision they did! Go see if you can grab anything better!(Louis Wu 17:45:29 UTC)

Ready Up Live is giving away ANOTHER pair of Mythic Map codes – all you have to do is come up with a good acronym for ‘MYTHIC’. Swing by the Bungie Blog for details (or go straight to RUL’s contest page).(Louis Wu 17:43:41 UTC)

skullkruncher13 and patfan8326 put together a Halo 3 rap called ‘Halo 3 Rimz’. Some of the rhymes are a little sketchy, but overall they did a nice job! Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 17:40:26 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy found a life size Halo 2 Master Chief for sale on eBay… being sold by an adult film star. Not sure why that’s relevant (except that she shows up in the image pics, with clothing)… but hey, if you’re looking for a reason to browse this sort of listing… there you go.(Louis Wu…

gunluva noticed a post at Kotaku that contains a large collection of Halo Wars concept art. They got it from conceptart.org, where it had been posted by Marco Nelor, apparently an artist with Ensemble who didn’t want to see this material lost when the studio doors close. The conceptart.org versions are larger – but I’m…

We’re going to shift the way we report Halo-related comics; there are simply too many of them to provide a newspost for each. So: every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, there’ll be a summary of all releases since the last update. This should keep total comic-related posts to a tolerable level, while still keeping readers informed…

chris10023 was the first to let us know about Halo 3 Fails, Episode 12 – but be aware that this is the first episode since Episode six that has earned the Hawty McBloggy seal of approval (she’s really happy they’ve gone back to clips that we all can connect with, and that haven’t been totally…

Missed this yesterday – and sorry I did. Hawty McBloggy discovered a cake created by a DevianARTist that looks AMAZING. Halo in all its glory… and edible! (Louis Wu 13:55:44 UTC)

A couple of fans on our forum have provided some help with the Halo Wars timeline – HaLo2FrEeEk transcribed the beginning of the ‘Halo Timeline’ available in the main Halo Wars game menu, and Bry unveiled a document that contains not only the full timeline, but detailed biographies of the characters, as well. Nice work!(Louis…

Missed this yesterday – Xbox360Achievements.org is giving away 10 Mythic Map codes – email them with the answer to a relatively simple question, and you’re in the running. Thanks, urk. Update: ran across two more. ViP Gaming (a CoD blog) is giving away a code to the funniest ORIGINAL Halo joke – swing by the…

Z wrote to let us know about a Str8 Ripping Team Montage over at Halo3Forum.com. If you can handle the 640 MB HD download… you should grab it. (Watch it at whatever size, if you can’t manage the big one – but that one’s incredible.) The gameplay (not surprisingly) is amazing, the editing is quite…

Halo Action Figure Theater 157 went up last night – ‘surreal’ doesn’t do it justice. Go read.(Louis Wu 16:39:31 UTC)

DigitalPh33r has put up a new Arby ‘n’ the Chief – the Chief decides to try cheating… with disastrous results. Thanks, vlad3163.(Louis Wu 16:39:18 UTC)

The Catfish told us that 2501 Episode 24 is out – go see!(Louis Wu 16:39:02 UTC)

In celebration of their 200th issue, Edge Magazine whipped up 200 covers. Three of them (starting with 14 in this show) are Halo-related. Thanks, GatchamanUK.(Louis Wu 16:38:46 UTC)

nomis78 dropped by with a bunch of new panoramas – check ’em out! (Louis Wu 16:38:18 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue stopped in with word of Superluminality, a fan fiction that expands the Reclaimer universe.(Louis Wu 16:37:41 UTC)

BlueNinja was the first to notice a piece at GamesRadar that boils the Halo Wars story down to 90 seconds… and reveals a ‘spoiler’ which would be funnier if so many readers weren’t taking it seriously.(Louis Wu 16:36:18 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update went up as expected yesterday – there’s a recap of the week, a look at an upcoming Sandbox variation, a Q&A for folks looking to get their maps into Matchmaking, some interesting news tidbits, and some very funny news submissions that didn’t quite make the cut. Oh, yeah, and a pair…

urk highlighted a montage composed of UK gameplay last night – nicely put together! Go watch.(Louis Wu 16:35:22 UTC)
