TTL Demag0gue let us know that Reclaimer 88 has been posted – the Reclaimer is beginning to understand what is required of him.(Louis Wu 13:54:03 UTC)

SnowJP 360 let us know that DWT Productions has posted E.O.A. Episode 0.5; it’s old footage, showing off some Halo 2 random tricks… but it’s a nice burst of nostalgia. (Louis Wu 13:53:43 UTC)

Morpheus is kicking off a new service – he’s willing to capture Halo 3 clips for you, at no cost. It’s not automatic, so I’m thinking he’ll probably get overwhelmed relatively quickly… but if you’ve got stuff you want captured, and you’re not happy with the limitations of GameVee, this might be a decent option!…

oriol003 let us know that Grunts R Us has revived their Halo Signature Generator; swing by if you need one! (Louis Wu 13:52:32 UTC)

SilverBrin discovered an old collection of ‘Lost Halo Excerpts’ he wrote some time ago – some are silly, some are pretty funny, all are nice and short. (Louis Wu 13:52:16 UTC)

schnear25 discovered a ‘Halo comic’ (it’s more of a short story, or something, with a small piece of artwork to go along) at College Humor – pretty spot-on. Take a look!(Louis Wu 13:51:33 UTC)

Our old friend dogsounds has gotten in touch – he has a comic strip called ‘Avoid Spikes’ which hasn’t been about Halo… until recently. His graphic tablet died, so he’s resorted to Halo 3 screenshots to tell his story – so until a new tablet can be afforded, you’re likely to see a lot of…

Hawty McBloggy found a fan-made Hayabusa Armor suit for sale on eBay – auction ends tomorrow. Starting bid is $1100 – go check it out!(Louis Wu 13:38:34 UTC)

Bradley Mileski let us know that we’ve been lax about keeping you informed about new releases from the Spriggs crew – they released Episode 12 Part A in late August, and Episode 12 Part B a couple of days ago. I’m starting to wonder if they haven’t lost track of what they were aiming for…

I wasn’t going to get to Halo news for a little while today; it’s a busy morning. However, Bryan Simon just sent along his newest ode to Bungie – this one is called “All The World’s Problems” and it shows how Halo can solve everything. (Well, maybe not global warming.) As usual, if you’re interested…

toadking07 let us know that he’s got a series of videos on YouTube parodying Adult Swim’s Robot Chicken; he’s up to Episode 4 right now. Watch the latest one, if you like it, check out his earlier stuff!(Louis Wu 19:54:08 UTC)

UnSilentSlayer noticed that Inside Halo 20 has been posted on YouTube. The Dead Pixel provides Ensemble news commentary, MLG stuff, and Top Plays of the Week. Go watch!(Louis Wu 19:50:40 UTC)

chromeratt stopped by to point out a poster he’d created, using Halo figures to reproduce a promo piece for The Usual Suspects. It was inspired by the Halo Movie Scene project (which is going amazingly well, by the way – go look), but doesn’t really qualify since it’s a compilation shot. That’s not to take…

Eastbeast314 dug up some blog posts written by Mrs Doublefire, who started out in the Halo:CE community and was eventually hired by Bungie, discussing the work he’d done on Halo 3. These posts are a year old now – but I’d never seen them before, and they’re a fascinating glimpse into the world of environment…

The rumors are flying… yesterday, one showed up suggesting that Bungie would be showing off its next game at an event (which one wasn’t specified) in Europe next week – thanks to CrazedArabMan at NeoGAF for the first heads-up on this one. Today, Kotaku is suggesting that Ryan Payton, who was assistant producer on Metal…

Tyler let us know that Forecast the Series Episode 6 is online – it’s the first new ep since mid-July, but hey, they’ve been busy. Literally. Go watch. (The bonus vid mentioned at the end should be watched, too.)(Louis Wu 14:41:45 UTC)

The Social let us know that Halo 3 RPG is having a midweek Double XP Weekend (huh?) – Server Wars is a 100-man FFA. There’s no actual XP for this event (um… not sure why it’s called a ‘Double XP Weekend’ then), but you WILL get 500 Credits for every match you win. Build up…

According to AceShowbiz, the Jonas Brothers (love ’em or hate ’em) are huge Halo fans, and spend much of their ‘free’ time playing online. Maybe you’ve even fragged ’em and didn’t know it!(Louis Wu 14:11:28 UTC)

Halo 3 is one of six games up for Game of the Year in Stuff.tv’s Gadget Awards 2008 – go cast your vote now!(Louis Wu 14:08:00 UTC)

kilaMOMjaro reminded us that it’s time for another episode of Frag a Friend, the PraetoriaGuard monthly event for community leaders. If you run a Halo community website, swing by and sign up, so you can play on September 19! (Also coming soon from PG and Gaming4Others: a Zombies HALOween tourney – with very appropriate prizes.…
