Last year, we set up a gallery for Mad Cow’s Master Chief armor – this year, he’s selling it on eBay. (He wants to build an ODST suit, and hopes this will help fund it.) You can see from our gallery that he’s put a lot of love into this one… if you’re looking for…

Jim Smith was the first to let us know that today’s Least I Could Do comic had a Halo reference. (He points out that the comic is not particularly kid-friendly, but this strip is certainly safe for work.)(Louis Wu 11:37:43 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy couldn’t let a story with a focus on sex and Halo simply fade… Last week, we mentioned a Dutch study which suggested that men who were quick on the trigger in video games might be… quick on the trigger in other areas. Hawty has taken it upon herself to help those guys out.…

TTL Demag0gue let us know that Reclaimer 100 (a milestone!) has been posted – and it looks like the Reclaimer might have a little trouble. (Louis Wu 11:36:10 UTC)

Raptree Forever came back by with word of a trailer for Montage Man Part 2 – Part 1 came out back in January. I liked Part 1; I’m not sure I get the same vibe from the Part 2 trailer, but I’m willing to wait and see.(Louis Wu 20:09:40 UTC)

Wow. Just… wow. Back in July, we pointed out that Pahis had destroyed the ‘Million Point Challenge’ set up by High Speed Halo back in October 2007 – using only three levels. His total score, at that point, was 2.2 million. He’d also completed the full game in SLASO mode in four and a quarter…

The third episode of Daniel ‘Tyrant’ Morris’ SLASO walkthrough of Halo 3 is now online – Tsavo Highway can be a tough level on a lot of difficulties, but this guide will get you through the worst of it nearly unscathed. Go read, and watch the instructive videos!(Louis Wu 14:55:49 UTC)

Bryan Simon has posted his tenth (and final) Halo song on YouTube – it’s called ‘Can My Mom Have Recon?’ and it’s a funny look at those folks who think that asking for Recon for someone ELSE is a good idea. (Something that was even funnier for me was that I actually play with someone…

Whoa – I managed to miss this until now; I’m not sure if it’s too late, but I’ll give it a shot. Xbox360Fanboy is sitting down with Bungie later today to talk to them about Recon, and they’ve asked for your questions. Stop by the news post, add your question as a comment – there…

kr-1426 had made a couple of fake TV spots for Halo 3, following the ‘Believe’ mold, which he planned to release around the time of Halo 3’s anniversary, but he didn’t get to it. They’re up now, though, and I must say, Remembrance is really well-done.(Louis Wu 12:14:34 UTC)

XerxdeeJ stopped in to announce that Tied the Leader is celebrating its third birthday – Happy Birthday, Gunslingers! Swing by and watch their September Highlights as you toast their three years of existence. (And while you’re there, read the story of Hayden, the Gunslinger baby who showed that gaming networks are good for more than…

b0anerges spent an evening in the Rio Tinto Stadium watching soccer… in his custom-made Master Chief helmet. Check out the pics!(Louis Wu 12:05:56 UTC)

It’s hard to keep track when it’s a holiday sometimes, but yesterday was Monday, so a new Red vs Blue: Reconstruction (Chapter 17) was released. It’s available for everyone now – and it’s a doozy. Some pretty big bombshells in this one… along with some classic (and I mean classic) RvB humor. Go watch.(Louis Wu…

More comics – OddGodHMK told us about The Biased, Chapter 1, Page 11. Things don’t look too good for the Blues.(Louis Wu 20:13:16 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue stopped in to announce Reclaimer 99 – with poetic info about the Cavalcade.(Louis Wu 16:07:23 UTC)

Inside Halo Episode 24 is online – Bungie news, the Halo Wars CGI trailer, and the Top 5 clips of the week. (These clips are no longer spectacular plays – just funny stuff. I love number 1.) Thanks, UnSiLeNtSlAyEr.(Louis Wu 14:13:07 UTC)

vlad3163 noticed a Halo-related strip at The Gun Show, a webcomic from KC Green.(Louis Wu 14:11:21 UTC)

I hate it when contest rules change after the contest has been announced – but I’m not running this, so I’m just doing my best to make sure you know of the new rules. Phædrus has received some financial help from other generous members of the Fan Fiction community, so he’s altered the specs for…

Phædrus has posted the most recent Fan Fiction Pick of the Week – and offered an astoundingly generous challenge. For each of the first 20 stories submitted to the HBO Fan Fiction section that meets his guidelines before November 7, 2008, he will contribute $20 to Child’s Play. The guidelines are pretty simple:The fiction must…

Scotty let us know that the second Halo 3 RPG podcast is out – updates and questions about the game. 67 minutes, about 70 mb, mp3 format.(Louis Wu 18:01:26 UTC)
