Adam Susskind wrote up a tutorial for creating screenshot-based Halo 3 comics; give it a read if you’d like to get started doing this!(Louis Wu 16:00:29 UTC)

ZZoMBiE13 whipped up what he considers to be his best Halo art ever. (And that’s saying something.) You can view the full-sized image at DeviantART… or a desktop-formatted version in our own Wallpaper section. I would agree that it’s very, very good.(Louis Wu 15:49:51 UTC)

2900d4u did a nice job of summarizing the new Halo Wars CES vids available for your viewing pleasure – swing by for links to presentations, gameplay, and demos.(Louis Wu 15:47:28 UTC)

radiant penguin stopped in with a bunch of sword-based (or Elite-based) panoramas – they’re not new, but it’s the first time he’s posting them on our forum. Check ’em out! (The last one could have almost come from Gears of War…)(Louis Wu 15:46:34 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update is online now – a taste of ODST development, a little bit of other news, and a final Bungie podcast for 2008 – almost 2 hours, 100 mb, full of… stuff. Go read, go listen! (As usual, it’s available in our Weekly Update Archive if you need or want it there.)(Louis…

Heh – urk points out a pretty funny splatter spree filmed by BvrBoy123; I think the best part is the front red guy teabagging the ground just before getting pasted.(Louis Wu 19:45:29 UTC)

It’s Friday again, which means it’s time for another installment of Hawty McBloggy’s Friday Caption Fun; this one has a great shot of Miranda for you to play with (along with the cream of the crop of last week’s submissions). Go see what you can do! (Louis Wu 14:09:17 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue tells us that it’s time for Reclaimer 134 – the Reclaimer is offered a pair of choices for accomplishing his next task. I think I can guess which route he’s going to go.(Louis Wu 14:03:30 UTC)

It was a short week for Fan Fiction authors (because I didn’t post last week’s batch until Monday) – but there are still five pieces for you to read in today’s update. Check ’em out! (Louis Wu 14:02:02 UTC)

oo murph oo put together a great video of a fun moment in his first attempt at the Vidmaster Annual Achievement in Halo 3 – and accompanied it with a funny writeup. Swing by Bungie.net’s blog for full details. (Louis Wu 14:00:48 UTC)

Bungie’s Breaking In series continues – today’s installment has Paul Lewellen, a Network/Gameplay Engineer, explaining what came before Bungie, and what was useful to him on the way in. Give it a read!(Louis Wu 22:14:10 UTC)

According to Endsights, the February 28th US release date for Halo Wars mentioned by Robbie Bach (and Major Nelson) last night was a mistake – it’s still coming out on March 3. Okay, whatever. (It’s only 4 days, right?) I suppose we should have known it was a mistake; February 28 is a Saturday. Games…

meowmixalot noticed a new video by Harabek, entitled ‘Memoir’ – you’re accountable for what you do in your life. Interesting cutting. (Louis Wu 19:52:33 UTC)

It’s Thursday, so a new Double Experience Weekend has kicked off; this week, it’s Grifball Winter League. Hammers and Bombs!(Louis Wu 19:35:31 UTC)

Whoa – another ‘Top 10 Halo 3’ ep, hot on the heels of the last one. This one is ‘Top 10 Moments of ‘Arby ‘n’ the Chief’… if you don’t pay attention to the series, consider this a highlight reel. Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 19:33:46 UTC)

Apparently, the February 2009 issue of GamePro will contain new info about both Halo Wars, and and interview with Bungie about Halo 3: ODST. Sounds tasty!(Louis Wu 11:59:52 UTC)

Do you really want to have your own set of Halo Spartan armor, but can’t see yourself building your own helmet? Hawty McBloggy’s got your back – she went through and found nine regular items that look like Spartan helmets. Grab one, hollow it out, you’re on your way. (Legal note: this post in no…

kr-1426 stopped in to point out the most recent HBO Fan Fic Pick of the Week – go see what he thought topped the submissions last week!(Louis Wu 11:53:51 UTC)

I recently stumbled across a nice piece of Brute-flavored artwork over at High Impact Halo – BierWiser sketched a little piece, and then colored it. (I like the uncolored version better, myself, but you can make up your own mind.) Check it out!(Louis Wu 11:48:39 UTC)
