OddGodHMK sent us a note yesterday – got lost in the noise, but his Boring Comic for the day was, again, Halo-related. (I’m not insulting the comic – that’s the name of the series.) (Louis Wu 13:25:32 UTC)

Red vs Blue has posted a new public service announcement – Reconstruction PSA 2 will help you understand the new system of Achievements RvB has added to their videos. Some pretty nice effects… and – well, I’m not gonna spoil it for you. Go watch. Thanks to mendicantbias00 for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 19:29:00 UTC)

Wow. Over at Bungie.net, CrypticGuardian created an 8-part vidoc of the Halo Panel discussion (and other Halo-related material) at ComicCon last week, along with lots of still pics. Videos are hosted at YouTube, and have official sanction. If you couldn’t make it out there yourself… this is the next best thing! Thanks, DHalo.(Louis Wu 12:37:35…

If you’re putting together a Halo 3 Tournament, there’s a pretty cool little tool over at Newgrounds – it’ll help you keep your bracket in order, it can help you pick a randomized map for the next round, it even gives you a place for notes. Check it out! Creator is 13UnGEE.(Louis Wu 12:32:41 UTC)

Jamie98s has released a trailer for 28 Weeks Later – you can watch it streaming from his website, or you can download it in WMP9 (28.2 mb) or QuickTime (29 mb) formats from our mirror. Great integration of effects – not too over-the-top, but powerful. Great camera angles. Looks to be fantastic! (You might remember…

It’s Monday, so as TTL Demag0gue tells us, it’s time for Reclaimer 70 – and we’re starting to see why the Chief is here.(Louis Wu 12:23:35 UTC)

Darknesshasfallen provided some photos of his own from the San Diego Comic Con, in terms of upcoming Halo statues/figures. Nice stuff! (Louis Wu 12:23:10 UTC)

Planet Halo has a tidbit from the September 2008 EGM – their Rumor Mill is claiming that Bungie is working on “multiplatform/PS3 games”. Unlikely to be Halo-related (I can’t see a Halo game showing up on a non-Microsoft console), but it certainly seems to be feasible.(Louis Wu 12:22:41 UTC)

Super Articulated wrote up a review of the Halo 3 Series 2 figures from McFarlane, complete with lots of pics. Go read!(Louis Wu 12:20:42 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy (and friends) have speculated a bit on the drawing of Purple Reign that Luke added to the most recent Bungie Weekly Update – swing by and see what they’ve come up with!(Louis Wu 12:14:39 UTC)

AS JON L1-18 L1-18 sent us a link to a 22-second teaser on YouTube for something that looks to be going live in a couple of weeks. The video description contains some backstory. I guess this is the time of year for this sort of mysterious teaser…(Louis Wu 12:14:18 UTC)

NartFOpc pointed out a ‘Top 10 Video Game Chicks’ flick over on YouTube – the whole thing seems designed to exist for the ads that bracket the content, and the voiceover is pretty overdone… but Halo’s Cortana does make the countdown, so here we are letting you know. (Louis Wu 12:13:54 UTC)

We received this image recently – the project it teases about is coming to fruition. Apparently, there are four secrets hidden within it – see what you can find!(Louis Wu 21:25:25 UTC)

geekinabox noticed a couple of articles (an interview tidbit at Eurogamer and commentary at Joystiq) which picked up on a comment made by Frank O’Connor at the San Diego Comic Con – apparently, there’s a possibility of a ‘HaloCon’ event in the future. Hmm… (Louis Wu 11:54:42 UTC)

Avateur wrote up a much more complete recollection of his trip to the SDCC – there’s only a little Halo content in this one (he’s written up those parts in other posts, linked within this narrative), but overall it’s a detailed look at this large comic convention that draws many Halo fans every year. He…

Anton P. Nym found an article in Variety which looks at the situation that arose at this year’s E3 (where Bungie and Microsoft tussled over how Bungie’s next project would be presented) as an indicator of a larger shift in the videogame industry. Up to now, most of the power has been in the hands…

HaloGrid.com is apparently hosting a 4v4 Grifball tournament – swing by Blinding’s post for full details if you’re interested in participating!(Louis Wu 11:53:21 UTC)

Littlebigman pointed out a listing of the McFarlane Halo 3 Series 3 and 4 collectibles, which came out today on Toy News International. There are also some pics in this album. (Louis Wu 11:32:09 UTC)

A Halo Fan…natic let us know that the HBO Fan Fic Pick of the Week is now up at the HBOFF forum. Go see who got the nod, and why!(Louis Wu 11:31:48 UTC)

Nevan noticed a writeup on Sarcastic Gamer of a new Halo title due out soon… sounds like a killer.(Louis Wu 11:31:14 UTC)
