Another neglected artist – Luke McKay. In the past couple of weeks, he’s whipped up a pair of comics (one depicting a scene from Episode 67, another from Episode 62), and a pretty cool Master Chief sketch. Swing by and see what’s new!

Dennis Powers writes to point out that an ‘Extras’ film from Valley of the Forerunners is now up at the Halo CE Chronicles website. Outtakes, bloopers, a couple of behind the scenes shots. Take a look!

Over at MLGPro.com, Overswarm’s written a treatise on why knowing the latest glitches is not just helpful, but NECESSARY in a competitive environment; learn, or lose. It’s a good read (though a bit depressing to those of us in the lower tiers). Thanks, 3Suns.

MLG PwnCast Episode 15 has been released – it contains an interview with Smileygirl (Smiley PMS). Go listen. Thanks, Bluestrike2.

The Virgin Megastore is running a top 100 games poll, and Halo is in the running. Thanks, runnersdialzero.

Yesterday, we mentioned that Red Leader had found some similarities between Siege of Madrigal and Unforgotten – wheeler took a crack at this, too.

Stonesand let us know that he did his own in-depth analysis of the Halo 3 trailer, focusing on the engine Bungie is using now, and contrasting it with what we saw in Halo 2. Pretty solid read… a lot of thought was put into this. Give it a look!

New goodies at the Bungie Store – you can snag a license plate frame that reads ‘My other car is a Warthog’, and a pretty snazzy Relic notebook. Thanks, Jonathan Rivas.

If you want to see how Stephen Loftus’ brain works with respect to Bungie consistency, check out this forum post. He makes a case for similar (but not identical) construction techniques on the H3 artifact and features of the Halo rings…

In what must be the most detailed view of the Halo 3 trailer to date, Narcogen has gone over it moment by moment, noting interesting tidbits (covered elsewhere, but not all in one place) and adding commentary. Save this one.

Narcogen, over at Rampancy.net, noticed an interview with a couple of Bungie employees in the London (Ontario) Free Press – some great quotes in there. Give it a read.

BOLL, known around these parts for his Flash skillz, came through the US last fall – he just found one of the photos of his visit to my house this week. Check it out.

Podtacular has been busy – Episode 62 went up on Saturday (focus is on Relic), and PodTV Episode 1, a video blog, is up now. Thanks, Fr3d-105 and David Smith.

Stuntmutt found a wealth of material in the Halo 3 Trailer – check out today’s One One Se7en for some of his musings.

Heh – DHalo points out a short vid over at G4TV.com, illustrating the brawl they expected to take place last week at E3. (Looks like they were pretty spot-on, actually.)

Wow – I hate neglecting stuff, though it happens all the time. Elnea has drawn a few new images (including along-the-way sketches)… and I simply let ’em go. No more, though – they’ve been corralled up and posted on her Gallery page here. You can find a powerful vision of the Chief (and an in-progress…

A Jolly Old Soul sent along an interesting tidbit for your perusal – a comparison between the Halo 3 trailer and an older cinematic work. He clearly says he’s not accusing Bungie of stealing – but the visual similarity is definitely intriguing. Check it out!

Duo stopped by our forum to point out a new Halo-related w00tness – great art, and a nice WoW crossover! Go read.

DropShock Episode 15 is now avilable for download – an hour and a half of stuff like discussion of the Halo 3 announcement, Gravemind’s Poem, and the 2007 Halo marketing machine. Go listen.

After a really, REALLY long hiatus (Page 25 was released in November, 2004), SESpider restarted Miniature Halo – you can find Page 26 and Page 27 in our archives. (To be fair, 26 was actually posted on our forum 2 weeks ago – it’s just been a really, really busy 2 weeks.)
