If you read the October 9th Bungie Weekly Update, you saw a pretty cool Halo 3: ODST-themed BMW. Now you have a chance to actually grab that car, from Turn 10 – they’re giving away three customized cars to folks who have preordered, and that ODST Beemer is one of ’em. Read this page on…

Wanna watch some splattering? Stewie2552’s fifth montage to the activity is now live – thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 16:50:05 UTC)

Some fun stuff today in the comic roundup – we’ve got our standard Sunday Grin + Bear It (interesting uses for Engineers!), we’ve got a Halo mention in this morning’s AppleGeeks Light (thanks to many, first was Jim 028) – this explains a LOT of things – and we’ve got a very special treat for…

Whoa – Brandon pointed out a pair of videos from Kre8-fx, showing off the start of an animatronic Elite costume being whipped up for Halloween – (the first shows off the servo controls for the jaws, while the second – much shorter – shows off the moving eyeballs, along with lots of other small but…

Last night’s episode of The Simpsons – ‘Treehouse of Horror XX’ (available here on Hulu, sponsored by Halo 3: ODST) has a fun Halo reference – Jimbo is dressed as the Master Chief. Looks like bluerunner was first on our forum with the update!(Louis Wu 12:46:23 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy found a pretty funny little clip – looks like grenades do more than explode! (Louis Wu 12:45:50 UTC)

Darkspire Films is back – and the first of several new shows is “The Candy Coated Wonder Road”. Can you picture a Halo-based children’s show? You don’t have to – they’ve built one. The first episode is “Friends”, and the music is infectious. Well… healing, but… oh, never mind. Go watch.(Louis Wu 12:38:49 UTC)

Chris101b ran across the personal website of Brandon Riza, an employee of Blur Studio. In his 3D effects portfolio, he includes some cool animations he’s built for various projects – including the Halo Wars cutscenes. Very nice alternate angles!(Louis Wu 12:37:56 UTC)

AssaultGodzilla is back with another Halo music video – this one sets various Halo-related footage to Papa Roach’s “Getting Away with Murder” – nice timing!(Louis Wu 21:04:33 UTC)

Tommy92L let us know about ‘Dock’, a hand-held look at a suspicious location… some things shouldn’t be investigated. (Just in time for Halloween!)(Louis Wu 20:07:05 UTC)

We got word from the Russian Halo Community that at least SOME of the concept art that appeared yesterday (purportedly for Reach) was actually done by Robert Brown, an artist in California, and was seen by a member of halouniverse.ru more than half a year ago. It’s not Bungie-related, it’s not even Halo-related – it’s…

icefire decided to animate a scene from Family Guy… using Halo models. Animation was done in 3ds Max 7, rendered in Skyline, using a fan-made map for Halo CE. Short and sweet. (Louis Wu 15:25:00 UTC)

Eurogamer has released a tech analysis of Halo 3: ODST – and it’s a really interesting read. If you’re intrigued by how Bungie squeezed more performance out of the Halo 3 engine for this product, check it out! Thanks, William Albert Sullivan Angulo.(Louis Wu 11:51:29 UTC)

bs angel is kicking off a new feature at ihearthalo3screenshots – themed top 10 collections, every Friday. This week, it’s a Top 10 Skull Screens list. Some really amazing shots there! Check ’em out.(Louis Wu 11:51:04 UTC)

Over at NeoGAF, Kibbles pointed out some images he found on Bungie.net (the original thread is still up) – they purport to be concept art from Reach. I rather doubt they’re real (the logo placement/opacity are not really Bungie’s style any more, many viewers have pointed out that they look a lot like ODST concept…

Jensen has updated his ‘Elite Tank Armor’ design – check out the new pics! (We first mentioned this model last month.)(Louis Wu 11:44:16 UTC)

XMixMasterX noticed a post at Bungie.net, by squidhands – someone has come up with a more consistent way of getting the game to start Firefight with no selected map (which gives you the chance to explore the opening Campaign cutscene and surrounding area). (We talked about this glitch a little while back – but there…

The Bungie Weekly Update is online – and it’s a fascinating read. urk sat down with Marty O’Donnell and discussed the casting process for Reach voice actors. There is, of course, some other stuff, as well – iPhone wallpapers and traffic maps and Stosh-blaming photos and all SORTS of stuff. Go read it! If you’d…
