haloplayer stopped in with word of Lost Cause 19 – ‘Knight to C3’. It’s been a little while since we’ve seen an Injured Knee production… swing by haloplayer’s post for catch-up links! (Louis Wu 16:49:37 UTC)

Morpheus let us know that he’s released ‘The Communiminitage’ – a five-minute montage made up of the remaining standard def clips he been given by folks responding to his community montage call. A fun watch!(Louis Wu 16:49:11 UTC)

Longtime community member Mothergoat has left his dream job in Seattle to move back to his hometown… for a higher calling. The writeup touches on Halo, as it should. Thanks, AngelicLionheart. (You were right, nice title.) (Louis Wu 16:48:45 UTC)

G4TV had some Mythic content on last night’s episode of X-Play – you can watch some of it (all of it?) online at G4TV.com right now – or you can watch the episode itself again tonight at 8:30. Enjoy!(Louis Wu 16:48:19 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy found a cool lamp for sale on eBay – I should have posted this sooner, there are only 8 hours left on the auction. Starting bid is $73… go see if it’s worth it to you!(Louis Wu 16:47:25 UTC)

GrimBrother One noticed a new Halo Wars video at IGN – this one covers Multiplayer Maneuvers. (Louis Wu 16:47:06 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy told us about ODS Steve #14 (Meet the Sarge), Adam Susskind let us know about (“Nobody’s Hero”), and TTL Demag0gue announced that Reclaimer 150 (“Scheming the Schemers”) is online, with Ferial discussing options. Go read the funnies! (Louis Wu 16:46:39 UTC)

Bungie.net highlighted ‘Teammates of Genius: Mr. Shotgun Camper’, a machinima parodying Budweiser’s Men of Genius series. I think we’ve all met this guy…(Louis Wu 16:46:01 UTC)

Got word on the Halo comics coming out later this year from Marvel… a little bird tells me the all-new (hint, hint) team working on the next two series is taking things at a much more efficient pace. This will not be another Uprising debacle!(Louis Wu 21:34:15 UTC)

Domino Theory is a Halo fan who loves to see people smile. So much so, in fact, that he’s kicking off a series of contests here at HBO – do what he asks, he’ll give you free maps. How cool is that? Contest One is live now – it’s called ‘HBO: Goosed’, and all you’ve…

Dennis Powers let us know that Shipwrecked Episode 55 is now up – the search continues, but something else gets found.(Louis Wu 20:13:00 UTC)

DeepCee, the artist behind the ODS Steve webcomic that lives over at Hawty McBloggy’s, is the subject of today’s Average Joe interview at Bungie.net. Go read about what makes him tick! (To think, we provided him with a window into the Halo community… I remember when he was just a wee baby! Okay, maybe I…

Decadence Night sent word that he’s been working on a new panoramic technique; he calls the product a ‘Time Lapse Panorama’. He sent along two, as examples: The first is a thwarted Hog assault on an Avalanche base (4184×807, 731k), and the second is an unfortunately timed Mongoose jump (4416×848, 835k). Pretty impressive!(Louis Wu 18:18:06…

Bongo8789 sent word of even more pics of upcoming Halo figures – and a list from McFarlane about the rest of 2009’s lineup. And I must thank RichterScales for bringing this image to our attention… is this a comment on the MC’s capabilities as a weapon, or something more sinister?(Louis Wu 18:11:04 UTC)

Gah… I’m forgetting all sorts of things today. AvatarAang noticed yesterday evening that Red vs Blue: Relocated Part 2 was live… and I forgot to mention it to the rest of you. Caboose and Grif steal the show.(Louis Wu 17:56:18 UTC)

Domino Theory was the first to notice a set of five new videos in IGN’s Halo 3 video collection – check ’em out for Mythic Gameplay! Update: Entire writeup (with vids inline) is here. Eep!(Louis Wu 17:15:10 UTC)

KP was another of those invited to Bungie’s studio last week to play around on the Mythic maps. He grabbed some video clips, and supplemented them with impressions… go read, and watch!(Louis Wu 17:00:08 UTC)

The first of the writeups of a press event Bungie held last week is now online – swing by Tied the Leader for a whole passel of screenshots of the Mythic Map Pack, along with some very intriguing discussion to go with them. Our own writeup (with pics, and some vid clips) will be coming…

Anton P. Nym brought to our attention a design for a new Halo-related t-shirt at Splitreason.com. This will not become a shirt unless enough people vote for it… if you think it should be for sale, make your voice heard! (Louis Wu 16:02:20 UTC)

Catfish let us know that 2501 Episode 16 is live. Go read!(Louis Wu 16:02:03 UTC)
