pete_the_duck brought us word of a Twitpic done by Penny Arcade’s Gabriel (and retweeted by Bungie) – it’s Noble Team, in Gabe’s inimitable style. Yeah, it’s true, Emile stole Jun’s sniper rifle… but dang, it’s still a great pic!(Louis Wu 16:21:44 UTC)

TDSpiral pointed out Spawn’s full-on Reach Series 1 Action Figure photos; lots of poses of each figure, and where you can get them. Some of these are killer!(Louis Wu 16:20:48 UTC)

Tycho2001 stopped by with word of a remixed version of The Siege of Madrigal, a piece of music that Marty originally wrote for Myth, but has included in every Halo game as an easter egg. I like this version! Give it a listen.(Louis Wu 16:20:15 UTC)

xxjuicesxx was the first (that I saw) to point out a new tidbit from IGN – it’s an IM chat between fans of a couple of heavy-hitting shooters, and it might make you chuckle. (I enjoyed it.) Thanks to Avateur for pointing out the full article. (Louis W…

We got word from neo56695 about a ‘Halo Action Comic Chapter 1’ on YouTube; it’s a story told in screenshots, with added fades and music. There’s no dialogue, and no motion… but it’s still an interesting experiment! Chapter 2 is live, as well.(Louis…

Yesterday’s Bungie Weekly Update went live, as expected – the Chris Opdahl Q&A is still happening, just not until next week. Luke Smith stepped back in to fill in the fans – and though it’s short, it’s still pretty sweet. Bungie will have its firs…

FyreWulff dropped by with word of the latest Fire Team Zulu challenge – Flying Ace is a Campaign run suggested by a fan (Kikowani Station, Heroic, bunch of skulls, but the critical one is Iron), while Blowhards is a Firefight challenge on Windward. Go …

Well… she hit it. (Geez. It’s impossible to make a statement about Hawty McBloggy without a potential double entendre, it seems.) Friday Caption Fun has made it to 100 rounds, and in honor of the extra digit, she’s broken the ‘no photoshop’ rule. Ch…

hyokin decided to put together a paper Marine helmet – took him a few hours. Amazing what you can do with a few hours!(Louis Wu 10:58:54 UTC)

Jagged went through the Deja View video second by second, and pulled out many of the notable tidbits; it’s the first list of its kind I’ve seen. Pretty impressive list!(Louis Wu 10:57:36 UTC)

Kral let us know that he’s finished up a teaser for Chrisdx1’s upcoming montage called “Relentless” – you can find it on YouTube, or grab a downloadable version from FileFront (720p, 71 mb). Just a minute of gameplay, but some nice synching. Take a lo…

What happens when a group of fans get together and decide to see how funny a cutscene can be if the dialogue is redone with odd voices? One answer can be found on YouTube – the Customs Clan redid the final Floodgate cutscene. (Miranda sounds like Daff…
