Whoa, bummer. Todd McFarlane has posted an image on his Twitter feed – it’s an image he created with Greg Capullo as a promotional giveaway for Halo 3. If you sent in Halo Points (which you could find on the back of McFarlane Halo figures), you could pick this up while supplies lasted. (I say…

How would it be going to sleep every night, dreaming of Master Chief? Hawty McBloggy found someone who probably knows – since the wall of the bedroom is covered with a Halo mural. Nice work!(Louis Wu 13:08:58 UTC)

Wanna see some really cool battle pics? Search Bungie.net’s screenshot collection for ‘Firefight’-tagged images. Or just check out the specimens urk found in his latest Tag and Release feature. Hunters look so sad when their armor gets cut off ’em…(Louis Wu 18:04:33 UTC)

A couple of new vids for you to watch, courtesy of urk and Bungie.net: Stewie2552 created ‘Halo 3 Wars: Attack of the Cones’ (the cones fight back), and Lost Media whipped up ‘Ambush’, a really nicely filmed short machinima – amazing camera control. Go watch!(Louis Wu 16:50:32 UTC)

Bungie.net user One One Seven posted a pretty extensive Guide to Networking, Matchmaking, and Host in Halo this morning – it’s actually version two of this guide for him.

aklay47 and friends were at the ODST Launch Event in Seattle last month – and whipped up a 6 minute video capturing the feel of the evening. Well-done piece! Go watch it. (Louis Wu 12:54:27 UTC)

Archilen pointed us to a clip from the movie Chicken Run (courtesy of a blog post by JonCJG a week or two ago) – fair warning, if you haven’t played through the Halo 3: ODST Campaign yet, this contains story spoilers. If you have, though, it’s hilarious. Now I have to play through again, looking…

If you checked out the thread yesterday about the New Mombasa license plates, Omega and friends have honed the list and the interpretations… and check out this post from Hedgemony, and the followups from DrDoctor and Hedge again for some speculation that might or might not come true in a few weeks.(Louis Wu 12:44:02 UTC)

PyroSmile Productions is back with Road2Recon, Part 7 – the Déjà Vu Achievement. Watch the video for hints on earning this last Vidmaster. It also shows how to unlock your Recon armor once you’ve completed all seven Vidmaster Achievements (this part should be pretty basic, but it seems to give some people trouble).(Louis Wu 12:38:57…
