IGN wrote up a short review of Halo: Uprising #3, released nationwide yesterday. They weren’t impressed. (You can get some other reviews right on our own forum – Neloms was the first, but there are comments throughout the thread.) (Louis Wu 13:20:21 UTC)

Bungie has released REAL versions of both the G-Phoria acceptance speech vid and the Edge acceptance speech vid – up to 720p versions. What are you waiting for?(Louis Wu 23:59:06 UTC)

Last night, Weta posted the third of five one-of-a-kind silverplated statues – Master Chief and Flood is up to $810, with nine and a half days left. You can keep track of all the Weta statues on their eBay Store page – 4 days left on the Master Chief and Grunts, a week on Master…

Hawty McBloggy continues her study of Cortana Fan Art – this week’s entry comes from a favorite around here, ZZoMBiE13 – good stuff!(Louis Wu 11:56:17 UTC)

K8lunch let us know that the most recent Larry the Marine comic has been up for a few days now – which made me realize we haven’t posted news of Larry since July 4. Episodes 29 (Missing Steps), 30 (Compromised), 31 (Fall Back), and 32 (Here comes trouble…) are all up if you get your…

Halo Action Figure Theater is back, with episode 150 – and Brad discovers he might not be talking to who he thinks he’s talking to. Life can be rough when you’re dead.(Louis Wu 23:41:43 UTC)

It’s been a long wait… but it was worth it. Over at Ascendant Justice, you can read Hindsight: Halo 3 – The Ark, a blow-by-blow discussion of one of the largest levels in Halo 3. As with all previous episodes of Hindsight, you’ll almost certainly run across tidbits you missed when you played through the…

We got word from TruthPastor SBG that the August Overlord Challenge has been won by the Overlords – this time they beat Cirque D’Geezers in a well-fought match. Go read all the details at the SBG website. September’s challenge is against SBG themselves… (Louis Wu 20:30:18 UTC)

A pair of pretty cool articles over at Hawty McBloggy’s place – there’s a Stick Figure Forge Fight (stop-motion animation, inside Forge – THAT’S work), and a pretty nice looking custom Heretic Grunt action figure gleaned from the eBay ocean. Go read about ’em!(Louis Wu 16:48:01 UTC)

kr-1426 stopped in to announce that the latest HBO Fan Fic Pick of the Week article is up (along with last week’s, which never got announced, mostly because it was posted so late). Go read!(Louis Wu 16:44:03 UTC)

Very cool – looks like someone uploaded the acceptance speech vid Bungie sent to Edge for the Interactive Innovation Award announced yesterday. It clearly shows a lot of very, very interesting additions to Forge – might we be seeing these innovations in a release from Bungie sometime? (This could explain why some of the voice…

A few weeks ago, we mentioned a Legendary crest that link4044 was working on – he’s finished it. You can see pretty amazing pictures of the work on the page we set up for him – and if you like what you see… he’s selling it on eBay. Starting bid is $350, and I have…

RvB: Reconstruction Chapter 10 has been posted over at the Rooster Teeth website – there’s a public version, a high-res sponsor version, and a commentary version with Matt Hullum and Nathan Zellner. Washington meets the Reds, and everyone gets closer to the Meta. What didn’t you notice? Thanks to BlueNinja, who posted a note on…

El Mayimbe let us know that the second weekly release of concept art for a proposed ‘Fall of Reach’ movie is available for viewing at LatinoReview.com – along with a Cease and Desist letter from Microsoft, asking them to stop posting these. I dunno about you, but letters like that tend to add credibility, in…

The Handmade Hero has made a surprisingly generous offer – he’s agreed to create for anyone who asks a portrait screenshot showing off their favorite parts of the game. Read the forum post (and the website) for full details. Personally, I think it’s going to be pretty hard to keep up with demand if a…

Mid7night bought one of the True Swords Covenant Energy Swords we mentioned a couple of weeks ago… and hung it with the rest of his sword collection. Looks pretty good!(Louis Wu 21:12:05 UTC)

At the Edinburgh Interactive Festival today, Bungie won the Edge Award for Interactive Innovation for Halo 3. Not too shabby!(Louis Wu 20:24:55 UTC)
