Nathan Gibson wrote to let us know that Games in Action is having a competition allowing members to submit designs for Halo 3 Weapons/Vehicles. It should be stressed that this is for fun, and is NOT official (you will NOT see your masterpiece in the final game, for example), but it should be a good…

It’s been mentioned a number of times in our forum, but I’m not sure I’ve ever front-paged it; I’m going to do so now, so that the info is here for any to find. The December issue of OXM Magazine has a very large (7 magazine pages) excerpt from the upcoming Ghosts of Onyx book;…

If you swing by the MLGPro website, you can see a trailer for the upcoming MLG 2006 Pro Circuit TV show, to be aired in a few weeks on USA Networks. For those of us without access to Video on Demand, or simply without the time to follow the pro tour closely – this show…

Owm pointed out a great article about the Rooster Teeth boys over at the Escapist – it’s Halo-related in that it discusses Red vs Blue, but it’s great writing in any case. Go read.(Louis Wu 21:15:31 UTC)

Wow. eternalscrappy submitted three short films to the MPRRS yesterday – Elite vs Elite 1, 2, and 3 – and all 3 passed, in short order. They’re in the style of Spy vs Spy (if you grew up reading Mad Magazine), and they’re pretty funny. Short and sweet – if they’re not your style, we…

Christian Anderson found this odd image (173K) in the danish Metroexpress – it’s a flyer for the Danish Electronic Entertainment Expo. He apologizes for the bad scanner quality…(Louis Wu 17:32:03 UTC)

Today’s Halo Heads shows that we all might have something we like to hide from our teammates out there on the field of battle… judge not, lest ye be judged. Thanks, Paul M.(Louis Wu 17:21:58 UTC)

There’s a rumor floating around that a Halo 3 Demo will be coming out on Xbox Live. (This time, Horus let us know on our forum.) We hate rumors, generally; 99% of the time, they’re false, and they always increase the amount of correspondence we get. There’s nothing that suggests that this one is any…

Saw a note over at Bungie.net that they’re going to start highlighting community artwork. This isn’t supposed to eat into existing art outlets around the community; if you’re highlighting your wares on a specific website already (like this one), this should be considered a bonus, not a replacement. Give the thread a read – and…

Pixellated noticed another Halo reference int a recent Pixelated Pupils strip… it’s a little… odd.(Louis Wu 16:17:07 UTC)

Last week, KP taunted us with pixellated views of some new Halo 3 map in his Humpday writeup. In today’s One One Se7en, Stuntmutt finds the silver lining in that mean nasty KP-sized cloud.(Louis Wu 16:12:37 UTC)

PEZ pointed out that HaloWiki’s Clan of Bobs has been profiled over at Tied the Leader – go read about what makes ’em tick. (While you’re there, you should probably also check out the 22 Questions interview with Sigafoos and Brathnok.)(Louis Wu 15:54:19 UTC)

Sigafoos sent word that WikiRiot Episode 21 is now available; 53 minutes, 22 mb, focusing mostly on clan stuff. Guest-hosted by Night Rider 7, because Brathnok was out of town. Go listen!(Louis Wu 15:44:21 UTC)

Wow. Stephen Loftus has been known for a while as someone who goes to great lengths to measure the Bungie Haloverse. Recently, he sent two images to be attached to his Scale Comparison article (a UNSC Weaponry Scale Chart and a Covenant Weaponry Scale Chart – these are both recreations of existing images, but with…

Today’s Seattle Post-Intelligencer had a great article about voice actors, and how this niche is definitely expanding the options open to actors out there, especially in areas with high needs in the voice-acting arenas. Halo features prominently.(Louis Wu 20:44:23 UTC)

Jillybean found a reader submission in the Halo Story mailbag that tickled her fancy. Go read why!(Louis Wu 20:41:30 UTC)

Retsof-Noraa pointed out a new Flash movie called ‘There’s Something About Halo 2’ – the movie isn’t done yet, but Legendary Frog has released his toon. And it’s really nicely done. Check it out!(Louis Wu 14:59:05 UTC)

Three years ago, IGN started a Top 100 Games of all time list (updated annually, of course) – Halo came in 39th. The following year, IGN let the readers decide – Halo and Halo 2 placed 18th and 19th, respectively, on the list. In 2005, it was back to the editors – Halo placed 30th,…

Yesterday, Captain Spark posted another 28 dialogue snippets – you can grab them en masse from his site, or browse them in our Dialogue Databank.(Louis Wu 17:12:23 UTC)

A couple of weeks ago, we mentioned the machinima project ‘Terminal Dogs’ – it was being hosted on machinima.com and YouTube. I guess Krad Productions wanted to widen the viewership, because they submitted the film to the MPRRS – and the reviewers liked it. We’re hosting a WMP9 version (24.7 mb) and a QuickTime version…
