More Mii stuff – check Gamingbits for yet another Master Chief Mii (among a lot of others). Thanks, wheeler.(Louis Wu 15:27:27 UTC)

Spartan Jag found a pair of interesting Halo auctions on eBay – first is a replica Pistol, and second is a Spartan helmet (not to be used for paintballing, apparently). The pistol auction ends tonight, but you’ve got a few days left on the helmet.(Louis Wu 15:03:31 UTC)

Jamie98s posted a note on our forum about a new music video he’d created, ‘We Become Silhouettes’, about a survivor of a nuclear blast coming to grips with the death around him. Fantastic effects and filming; this is the sort of thing music videos should aspire to. He posted a mythica link to a WMP9…

The LANfest that took place here last week has now been written up on Bungie.net – KP got a little hyperbolic, but there are some great pics. I’d said the last time I’d posted about this LAN that I’d summarize the rest of the writeups at a later date – this seems like a fine…

Over at GameTrailers, you’ll find a trailer, along with the first of three full episodes, of a Behind the Scenes documentary about Video Games Live. This is only peripherally Halo-related, in that Halo is one of the pieces played during the concert, but it’s pretty interesting if you were ever curious about how these guys…

Jay “Ling Ling” Marrero writes to point out a pair of Halo 2 tourneys sponsored by the PGL at Otronicon v2.0 in Orlando, FL, coming up the weekend of January 13/14. Registration is $15 (with a paid Otronicon entrance), and the first place prize for each event is $1000 (with a bunch of other stuff…

JeBr0nie noticed a new website called dashboardthemes.com; it’s the first place I’ve seen that contains screenshots of all the Halo-related 360 Dashboard themes out there. (It contains a lot more than that, of course – but this is a Halo site, after all.) You can see all three Halo 3 themes there, as well as…

Several days ago, Major Nelson posted the Top Live Games of 2006 – broken out into 360 games, Arcade games, and Original Xbox games. There’s no combined list, but the way it’s written, quite a number of the people commenting on the post are assuming that MN is saying that Gears of War (the top…

IGN has posted a 2-page article discussing why Bungie is so secretive about Halo 3 info. There’s not a lot here that isn’t common sense – but it seems that common sense is a bit less common than one would hope, so if you’re an Insider, go read. (If you’re not an Insider, you can’t…

Luke McKay added a fun little sketch to his Red vs Blue Image collection – we’ve added it to his gallery here. Don’t make a girl a promise you can’t keep…(Louis Wu 11:41:51 UTC)

The Jedi Lord pointed out a new press release – it’ll be all over the web soon, I’d guess, but he found it at Gamerscore Blog – which outlines a pair of ways into the Halo 3 beta program. The first – buying Crackdown – we mentioned last week… but the second – playing 3…

Wandering Tiger has posted a trailer for Mercenary, an upcoming machinima project. Crank your volume to hear it. Available on their site, in both high (6.6 mb) and low (2.3 mb) resolutions, WMP9 for the moment.(Louis Wu 17:59:52 UTC)

Mister Froggy stopped by to mention that he has started up Halo, Articulated, a comic strip that uses action figures. He used feedback from his first attempt to come up with this final product – see what you think!(Louis Wu 16:14:27 UTC)

Sometimes, it’s hard to be objective. Ask Stuntmutt – or just read today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 16:09:58 UTC)

MLGPro.com has put up an article detailing the current state of their Online Halo 2 Tournament; Division 1 group play is now over, they’re moving into bracket play. Go check out who to root for! Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 16:06:54 UTC)

Speaking of the pro Halo world, there’s a new montage out from XiT WouNDz player Itwasluck, available over at Halo3Forum.com – I’ve said before that I’m getting burned out on montages, but when they’re this well edited, and contain this level of gameplay… well, they’re worth watching. Fantastic job. You can see why his team…

The London (Ontario) Free Press has an article about guys trying to break into the pro Halo ranks – always nice to see stuff like this in mainstream press!(Louis Wu 12:22:26 UTC)

Mandalore wrote to point out his Lego Elite (and a set of revised pics, as well) – pretty nice looking!(Louis Wu 12:21:49 UTC)

We got email from a couple of different members of Halomega, pointing out the new stuff they’ve posted this week; they’ve got 1v1 montages here, here, and here, and details about their 4v4 league here. (There’s certainly more – visit their News forum to dig through for your own goodies.)(Louis Wu 12:11:24 UTC)

spartanerik noticed a new Flash animation at Newgrounds – it never got finished, and it takes a few shots at various nationalities, but there you go.(Louis Wu 12:06:01 UTC)
