    Frankie has posted a pretty jaw-dropping article over at Bungie.net on the Nightmare Armor guys – including a very first look at the Helmet (with glowing lights!). Wonga. I’m trying to figure out how many of my children I’d need to sell for the $4000 they’re asking…

    Sharp eyes on sirBoB – he noticed an entry called ‘Halo MM Boxed Set’ on the Random House site. Due out September 2004, it’s likely all three Halo novels (price is about right for three mass-market paperbacks…), but we’ll know more when they post it.

    Jamirus99 noticed a Gamespy article a couple of days ago ripping on Volkswagon for imitating Halo’s Warthog with their latest concept car. The thread even includes a couple of recolored versions of the shot involving the mounted LAAG gun; it should be green, right? (We received many more emails about this article this morning… but…
