HaloSocial’s Scotty stopped in to announce a new series of montages, using your footage. Each one will focus on a specific weapon – the first one is for Grenades. Check out the post for details on what they need!(Louis Wu 20:06:27 UTC)

urk’s playing with the Bungie image tagging system again – check out the ODST shots he found. Then play yourself and find your own! (That second one is pretty great!)(Louis Wu 20:04:31 UTC)

pete_the_duck came up with seven fun things you can do with a Kill Ball (coming soon to a Sandbox near you!) – check it out. If you invite me to any of these games… I will make sure you’re never, ever on my friends list. Ever.(Louis Wu 19:17:25 UTC)

Rob Tracy let us know that the second Halo/Grifball-related ‘Remedial Comics’ ep is now up – those hammers are dangerous! (And while it’s not Halo-related, the blog entry for today is a writeup of the New York Comic Con, which took place this weekend; give it a look!)(Louis Wu 19:11:14 UTC)

Xbox Life has pulled the Halo Wars trailer we mentioned recently – probably because the bandwidth demands got too great. De Laal pointed out a re-encoded version (they cropped out the black bars that contained no info except the Xbox Life watermark)… but we think it’s a little fairer to the original host to put…

Pete Cooper is back with MORE concept art for the upcoming Halo Fan-created film, Operation Chastity. If the quality of the film comes anywhere NEAR the quality of the concept art, Hollywood’s gonna be jealous. (Louis Wu 18:26:37 UTC)

We’re a touch late to the party, but GameDaily’s John Lichman let us know that they’re premiering the Halo Wars soundtrack at AOL Radio today. It’s streaming only, and you get one song played at the top of every hour – so swing by and listen! (Apologies for posting this late enough that you’ve already…

Hawty McBloggy noticed that Kroden35 is creating new Halo-related 3D pictures… this time, the subject is Halo Wars. Swing by her site for details! (Louis Wu 18:24:37 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue informed us that Reclaimer 147 is up – and a new player gives Ferial pause. (Louis Wu 18:21:31 UTC)

Davis Beutler stopped in to announce that he’d won one of five spots given out by Kotaku AU to a Halo Wars preview this week; the winners will get to play the whole game through, and write a review. He’s offering to ask questions, if anyone there is answering – swing by with your suggestions!…

Over at Blast Magazine, there’s another Halo Wars Hands-on, this time from a non-RTS player; give it a read if you’d like to see how a beginner in the genre views it all.(Louis Wu 18:17:21 UTC)

2900d4u was the first of many to let us know about a new Halo Wars cinematic montage that can be seen at a Taiwanese Xbox site. (If you’re having trouble there, there’s a lower-res version at Gametrailers.com.) This is FULL of spoilers for the Halo Wars story (mostly inferred, but pretty clear)… but if you…

smick6 auctioned off a Brute Spiker replica last September – if you were interested then, but missed it, you’ve got another chance. He’s put up another one – starting bid is $275, close is just under 7 days. If you’re curious about what you’d be getting, we put together a gallery last August, showing his…

gender bombs (or Swimmer, or Solomon) sent us word that he’d posted an album of music for Halo 3 and the graphic novels over at B.net; It’s electronic, and he’s titled the pieces rather vaguely, so that you can decide for yourselves what tidbit of Halo inspired each one. It’s free, and the full download…

Michael “Fluffaluffer” Karlsson, the long-time manager of Planet Halo, is stepping down – we’d like to take a moment to say goodbye. It’s been a good run, Fluffy!(Louis Wu 02:14:07 UTC)

Rockslider is back to playing fun games in the Halo 3 Campaign – this time, he’s behind enemy lines on The Covenant. Go see what he’s come up with!(Louis Wu 02:13:32 UTC)

Hype let us know that Podtacular 178 is up – Callins and Tales from the Foxhole. Go listen!(Louis Wu 18:18:26 UTC)

Stuntmutt manages to poke fun at Halo Wars and Marvel, all in one totally unexpected bonus strip – go check out today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 11:58:28 UTC)

naveeda stopped in to talk about IamDank’s latest creation – it’s a wonderfully-edited montage… with a 3 and a half minute intro. The intro isn’t just credits, though – it’s a cool collection of machinima shorts that work nicely to introduce the montage itself. A great way to spend a Sunday morning! (If you’ve got…

MasterCheifn was the first to let us know about Halo 3 Fails Episode 9 – mostly because he’s in it (as the first FAIL). Of course, he blames someone else. (In this case, he blames CYBRFRK – and since we blame him a lot too, maybe MasterCheifn isn’t exaggerating.) (Louis Wu 11:54:18 UTC)
