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). Create a cool map, using one of the latest three levels, win MS points or BWO site points. Full details at Bungie.net.(Louis Wu 16:45:23 UTC)

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…

Pete Cooper stopped in to announce that the Operation Chastity Warthog would get its public unveiling at the London Games Festival on October 24 – nice!(Louis Wu 14:12:45 UTC)

R3dnaxel4 stopped in with some preliminary renders of an ODST drop pod – it’s untextured so far, but it’s still pretty cool! Check it out.(Louis Wu 13:33:11 UTC)

BOLTAR94 stopped in with word of another no-dialogue French-made machinima – this one’s called ‘Bad World’. Lots of nice effects… though I’m not sure I understood what was going on. Certainly a nice watch, in any case! Much more info (along with multiple options for viewing) can be found in his post. (Louis Wu 13:32:40…

TTL Demag0gue stopped in with word of Reclaimer 221 (Encounter) – will Bold or the Reclaimer EVER get the upper hand over the other? And NeoGAF’s Benjamin Birdie chimed in that today’s episode of The Rack (Lateral Thinking) has an homage to Halo 3: ODST.(Louis Wu 13:31:19 UTC)

Is it Friday already? Guess that means it’s time for another episode of Friday Caption Fun, over at HMB. Check out last week’s pithy responses, and come up with your own for the equine entry this week!(Louis Wu 13:30:57 UTC)

The Loot whipped up a tribute to Dutch, in the spirit of Firefly. (If you’ve never watched Firefly, you need to know it’s a space western.) Fun!(Louis Wu 13:30:31 UTC)

CaptainTony ran across a bunch of cool stuff on Greg Bear’s website – Greg had gone to the Halo 3: ODST Launch Party in Seattle, and came home with a pretty cool postcard… and some information about the trilogy of books he’s going to be writing in the Halo universe next year. There’s even some…

kabu informed us that the HBOFF Pick of the Week is live now at the Fan Fiction forum – kr-1426 wrote this one, and you can peruse it for the best of the seven stories released last week.(Louis Wu 13:28:05 UTC)

Twelve new pieces for you this week in the Fan Fiction section – a goodly collection! Go read.(Louis Wu 13:26:41 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy highlighted a hilarious vid yesterday – it’s called ‘Inside the Mind of the Greatest Halo 3 Player’, and it has a nearly-pro Halo 3 prodigy narrating a match he played on Narrows (MLG Team Slayer). We have ALL met this guy. (Louis Wu 13:14:26 UTC)

Sarcastic Gamer posted an episode of their [GAME] in 30 Seconds series focused on Halo 3: ODST – the actual ODST part is 45 seconds, but hey, who’s counting? (I’m still waiting for the funny part.) (Louis Wu 13:12:35 UTC)

Geekscape’s Teabag Prevention Team is taking on the Vidmaster Challenges, to help you earn that coveted Recon armor. Week 1’s article – focusing on the Endure achievement – is live now. Thanks, Brian Gilmore.(Louis Wu 13:11:41 UTC)

GamesRadar posted an article about pompous game ads – and Halo 3’s Believe campaign made the list. Twice. And the ODST live-action ad is ALSO there. 3 of 10 – not bad! (Warning – some browsers don’t show the entire article; not sure why.) Thanks, UNSC Trafalgar.(Louis Wu 13:10:24 UTC)
