Omega posted a very interesting list last night – it contains all the license plate numbers he could find in Mombasa Streets (28 of them)… and what he thinks they might be referencing. If he’s right, Bungie went pretty all-out on this easter egg. If he’s wrong… he’s discovered the biggest coincidence I’ve seen in…

Dratt pointed out that Arby ‘n’ the Chief, Endgame (Part Five) is now online (it’s really Season 4, Episode 7) – lots of chocolate syrup. Out of hand? Yep. Dratt says there’s only one more part after this.(Louis Wu 13:40:55 UTC)

ZayneH ran across an interesting page at Bungie.net; it shows off Bungie’s Trademark list. Interestingly enough, The Superintendent belongs to Bungie… not Microsoft. Keep it Clean! (Louis Wu 13:40:19 UTC)

Think you have the coolest dad ever? You DON’T – unless he turned your PowerWheels into a Warthog. Rawkin’! Thanks, Burnie.(Louis Wu 16:16:51 UTC)

Hedgemony was wondering about a snippet he found in the Australian OXM article about Halo 3: ODST:If you stumble upon Engineers hanging out without Brute guards, turn on your vision mode to spot the mysterious glyphs they’ve graffiti-ed on the walls. Creative director Joe Staten tells us: “These tell stories, not very clear cut stories…

The Bungie Weekly Update is live – not a HUGE amount of new stuff, but some fun tidbits. 60,000 unlocked copies of Recon in Week 1… not bad! And high-quality Vergil chimes for anyone looking for a cool ringtone. Check the rest yourself! (If for any reason you have trouble with Bungie.net, you can always…

Morpheus noticed that there’s a new ‘Strategize’ feature on Xbox LIVE Marketplace – it’s an IGN feature that has suggestions for beating the Vidmaster: Endure achievement. (Morpheus doesn’t think their strategy is a very good one – but you can watch it for yourself to decide.) If you don’t have access to Xbox LIVE at…

Jason, from the Electric Playrground, let us know that they’ve got a video interview with Curtis Creamer online – a nice summary of the game, and where it fits in the Halo universe. Looks like it might have been recorded at E3… which would make it a few months old at this point.(Louis Wu 19:19:30…

IGN has a few requests of Bungie – stuff they’d like to see in Halo: Reach. Go see if you agree.(Louis Wu 17:54:05 UTC)

A Match Made in Halo (the site started up to document a Halo wedding) collected a bunch of schwag at PAX this year – including a Master Chief dogtag and a bunch of Superintendent pins. You can enter to win the whole shebang by leaving a comment on the blog post. Nice! Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu…

Halo gets a tiny mention in this College Humor video – which is enough to get it on this page. Which is good, because it’s quite funny. Thanks, xxjuicesxx (what the…)(Louis Wu 17:44:03 UTC)

Symbiotic Storm whipped up a few panoramas from ODST’s campaign, and Bungie.net wants to tell you about ’em. (Louis Wu 16:45:41 UTC)

Black Water Ops is just dying to give stuff away – a couple of days ago, they mentioned a Screenshot contest, and today they’ve got a Forge contest (thanks, urk).

Lando Griff1n let us know that Hazmat V2 has released a new montage – it’s called Dedication, features the gameplay of P A R A L Y S I S, and it can be seen at Halo3Montage.com. Heavy on the effects, five and a half minutes long, HD quality. Take a look!(Louis Wu 16:33:07 UTC)

Matt MacNabb, from The Legion Fan Network, let us know about a new article on ToyLegion.com showing off the latest bust from One2One Collectibles – it looks to be the Spartan character from Halo Wars. (You can see the images on One2One’s own site, if you’d rather have them without the Toy Legion watermark.) Like…

Lesbian Gamers are pretty unhappy with the character of Veronica Dare – and with Bungie’s portrayal of women in the military. (Well… at least THIS woman.) To be fair, I haven’t run across many people – gay or straight, male or female – who like Dare’s character… so maybe LG is mad at the right…
