Hawty McBloggy found a cool magnet you can buy for $10… or make yourself. Now THAT’s a nice use of ironable beads!(Louis Wu 22:26:18 UTC)

RotaJota noticed an article on the OXM website called ‘Life After Halo’, posted last week – but he points out that the date suggests it’s older than that. He’s right – it was first published in the December issue, and pointed out by LoneRanger 2.5 on our forum about 2 months ago. And even THEN,…

Bungie’s ‘Average Joe’ series continues, this time with urk talking to Tyrant, the man behind the Mythic Walkthroughs. Go give it a read to see what Tyrant does outside of Halo… and how he got interested in what he DOES do.(Louis Wu 19:20:28 UTC)

It’s Tuesday, so it’s time for another Tied the Leader update – and this week, it’s a video put together by TTL OboeCrazy, showing off what happens when you teabag a Gunslinger. Great music. Thanks, deeJ.(Louis Wu 13:23:35 UTC)

It’s been a really long time since she’s worked on Halo art, but Pinkuh recently finished a piece with Riddick and the Master Chief; we’ve added it to her gallery here. If you’d like to read her thoughts as she was working on it, she’s put them into a journal over on the RvB website.…

Z sent word of Alcom’s Halo 2 Vista Montage on Halo3Forum.com. Resolution rocks. It’s really cool to see the Halo 2 levels again, especially so clearly. The editing… well, it’s fast. The movie is just under 8 minutes long, and weighs in at a bit over 300 mb. Go watch!(Louis Wu 13:11:50 UTC)

mrsmiley let us know about an interview he did with Gruntsbane, the artist behind the Halo Babies comics, back during his PAX visit this summer. It’s not really Halo-related, but Gruntsbane was a big part of the Halo community for a long time, and this interview gives you a chance to catch up on what…

RandomSauce let us know about Halo Community Live, an event that will take place on December 30, at 7 pm ET. Machinima, interviews, and more – details can be found in this image on the Halo3Mythbusters website. Pretty impressive list of guests! Mark it on your calendar.(Louis Wu 12:57:14 UTC)

Halo Wars’ Stephen Rippy discussed the process of music creation for the game in a recent Developer Diary – Interesting stuff. Give it a read!(Louis Wu 12:48:17 UTC)

CinemaBlend got their hands on some new Halo Wars wallpaper – and then spend all their text space dissing the Halo games themselves. The desktops are great, though, so grab ’em and ignore the nastiness. (Louis Wu 12:47:49 UTC)

Thanks to backflip10019 for noticing that the MLG/ESPN Top Ten #13 is live over at MLGPro.com. Some truly amazing gameplay in there… I mean, really. You should watch it.(Louis Wu 12:43:48 UTC)

Yesterday was Montage Monday on B.net, apparently – two they covered that I missed were SniPinAtoR’s Immortal, and Bagel’s Merry Christmas Montage (in HD, even – thanks, Avateur). Great gameplay! (Louis Wu 12:43:17 UTC)

The ‘Tag and Release’ series on B.net continues – with a look at some great Flamethrower pics. Go find your own!(Louis Wu 12:41:50 UTC)

Halcylon put together a stickytage – a montage composed entirely of stickies. It’s available in HD. Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 18:36:56 UTC)

Daniel “Tyrant” Morris let us know that the next Monthly Mythic Challenge is being kicked off a little early – it starts on December 26, and finishes on January 1. You have those seven days to complete Halo 3 on Mythic difficulty – if you’re the first to do so, you’ll win 4000 MS points.…

Episode 7 of DigitalPh33r’s Hard Justice series was released a few days ago – thanks to urk for the heads-up. High-tech surveillance doesn’t always mean high quality surveillance.(Louis Wu 18:05:38 UTC)

Dennis Powers let us know that Shipwrecked 46 is now live – there’s even worse stuff in that valley than the marines thought. (Louis Wu 18:05:20 UTC)

I… wow. I don’t know what to say about this. Cleveland.com has an update on a court case that began last October, when a 16-year-old boy was barred from buying Halo 3 by his parents. In retribution for this, the boy shot both of his parents in the head, killing his mother and wounding his…

Hawty McBloggy is taking on the massive task of running a ‘Best of Halo’ awards ceremony for 2008 – and is currently accepting nominations in a variety of categories. Swing by and make her job easier! (Louis Wu 16:45:51 UTC)

More from TTL Demag0gue – he’s kicked off Halo 3 Webcomics, and is providing a home for anyone who wants to publish a Halo-based webcomic. Nice! (Louis Wu 16:45:21 UTC)
