Wow, this is just… silly. Back in mid-2006, Marvel announced that they’d be publishing a monthly Halo comic, starting a few months before the release of Halo 3. The delivery of these issues has become a joke – the fourth (and last) comic is STILL not out, having had its release date pushed back AGAIN,…

And Arby n the Chief Season 3 Episode 07 (“Panic”) is up – folks try and come…

Last night, ElusiveEagle519 did some searching and turned up some interesting information about Pete Cooper’s Operation Chastity. Pete had been hoping to dole out content a little more slowly, but since it’s been found, he was kind enough to summarize the useful stuff that was put up in several different posts across a couple of…

2900d4u used Halo Wars cinematic footage and audio from the GI Joe trailer to make a new video about Spartan Group Omega. He also figured out how to use the Elephant as a cannon. Check out both vids in his forum post.(Louis Wu 15:55:27 UTC)

InnerRayg found a link on Action-Figure.com with a mini-review and some photos of the upcoming Halo Wars MEGA Bloks. Our forum denizens aren’t terribly impressed, it seems (except for maybe the Hornet and the Sparrowhawk)… but see for yourself! (Louis Wu 15:53:28 UTC)

Juesoni continues his live broadcasts of David segments – the fourth and final part of the machinima will be premiering at 12 noon PST (3 pm EST, 8 pm GMT/UTC). Check his forum post for links.(Louis Wu 15:52:39 UTC)

MTV’s Multiplayer blog has a summary of their 5 Most Notorious Multiplayer Gaming Glitches. Halo 2’s BXR glitch came in at Number 1. Thanks, Decommissioner. (Louis Wu 15:51:12 UTC)

Bungie posted its weekly update, as usual, last night (and we made it available in our Weekly Update Archive, as usual, last night) – but it didn’t manage to make the front page until now. Just because we’re tardy about letting you know, don’t think you shouldn’t read it – it’s full of useful tidbits.…

The latest group montage from Halo 3 in the Workplace has been highlighted on the Bungie Blog – swing by for fun gameplay plus music from Magnum P.I., CHiPs, Knight Rider, and Hawaii Five-O. (Yes, I’m that old. And for what it’s worth… Hawaii Five-O ran until 1979; it had a final year, in 1980,…

Ascendant Justice has posted another intriguing article; it ties together disparate info from a variety of sources to provide a one-stop shop for the big picture behind Halo 3: ODST. What a great read! Check it out. (Thanks, voc.) (Louis Wu 14:52:51 UTC)

Bryan Simon has put together another Halo 3 song – ‘Girl Gamer on My Friends List’ explains that the concept of ‘celebrity’ is flexible. We’ve posted the MP3 version (4 mb), if you’d rather have that.(Louis Wu 14:51:27 UTC)

Tony ‘ubald’ Marcotte sent word that he’s posted a new Halo render at Renderosity – we’ve put up a copy (with his permission, of course) in our local gallery. The Covenant can be imposing! (Louis Wu 14:50:45 UTC)

HaLo2FrEeEk stopped by to say that he’s in the process of uploading HD versions of all the Halo Wars demo cutscenes – they’re up on YouTube, and downloadable in WMP9 format right now, with SD versions and QuickTime HDs coming soon.
