Hawty McBloggy found a funny video that cries out for entertaining dialogue – go add yours! (Don’t worry – you don’t have to edit a vid; she’s just looking for text-based commentary.)(Louis Wu 14:02:08 UTC)

Red vs Blue Recreation Chapter 1 (“Don’t Get Me Started”) is live now for sponsors, and will be available for everyone in just a few minutes from the writing of this post. Sarge wants to beat the Blues… in an honorable way. Sort of. Grif, on the other hand, wants to go home. Go watch!…

Static Hazard whipped up ‘Jizz Before You Jump 2’, a jumping video that could have (literally) starred me. It’s probably a bit too long at 10 minutes… but if you’ve ever watched jumping vids, there are some laugh-out-loud moments in here. Check it out!(Louis Wu 22:35:53 UTC)

It’s Monday, so it’s time for another Tag and Release feature at Bungie.net – the featured term this week is ‘Infection’. In case you haven’t actually PLAYED one of the Halo games, we won’t go into details about what these pictures are involved with – but let’s just say penicillin won’t cure it.(Louis Wu 18:36:42…

Don’t forget – Episode 19 of The Running Riot podcast will be recorded live, tonight, on Xbox LIVE at 9:30 EST. Tune in for guest RandomSauce! Thanks for the reminder, urk.(Louis Wu 18:34:12 UTC)

This should really be added as an update to today’s Comic Roundup, but it’s a bit different than most comics, and it showed up much later than the other stuff on the list… chromeratt let us know that the first half (or so) of his project, ‘Halo: Legendary, Volume 3, Issue 1, Arrival’, is now…

Nexus got his first tattoo last week – check it out.(Louis Wu 14:07:23 UTC)

We’ve mentioned Eddie Smith a number of times in the past few years – he’s a Bungie illustrator/concept artist that has done some amazing work on Halo games. Over at NeoGAF, DcLevartho pointed out that he’d stumbled across Eddie’s portfolio site… and MAN there’s some incredible work in there, lots of which I’ve never seen…

wwm0nkey1 played a lot of the night-versioned Firefight map at E3 – enough that he felt he could create a decent model of map layout for those who weren’t there. He used Google’s SketchUp – a free download, for which he’s provided a link – and he’s made the model available. If you want to…

ElusiveEagle519 has put together a text transcript of the Halo: Reach trailer released at E3 – swing by and see if you missed anything! (Louis Wu 13:13:20 UTC)

ManKitten was clearing his yard, and found a whole bunch of old wagon wheel rims. He decided to create a Halo array on his wall… and then added a recognizable character on top. Great work! (Louis Wu 13:11:28 UTC)

Just a couple of comics to tell you about – Bloogyo let us know about Rat’s Nest 18 4, and Reclaimer is back with Episode 194 – Tran (Thanks, TTL Demag0gue). Something bad’s about to happen…(Louis Wu 13:10:45 UTC)

Free Weights was the first to notice a post on Hawty McBloggy’s site – it’s called ‘Where People Teabag You in Halo 3’, and it should make most folks who’ve spent any time in Matchmaking grin a little. (Louis Wu 13:05:28 UTC)

Wow… you guys blew an easy chance at $20. We mentioned an Action Shot contest at The Social a couple of weeks ago – free MS Points to the winning shot. In this particular case, only ONE SHOT was submitted – congrats to Kamikaze8 on his win, and shame on the rest of you for…

Leviathan continues his graphic novel, “A Sangheili’s War Is Never Over” – Part 7 is now live on our forum. These seem to be growing in technical reach with every episode – layout, pacing, and artwork are all top-notch. Check it out!(Louis Wu 13:51:25 UTC)

TWENTY4pack told us about a new name generator – this one builds Grunt names (and ranks). It’s reminiscent of Stuntmutt and BOLL’s Elite Namelizer – but for Grunts.(Louis Wu 13:45:02 UTC)

CaLL Me ZeNy stopped in with word of a speed painting of ODSTs, done by Orkimede – it’s up on his DeviantART site, but you can find sharper versions at HaloDestiny – screen res (717×800) and high res (2248×2507). 5 hours in Photoshop – it’s fantastic! (Roscoe-128 added a link to this image to the…

Bungie’s got another weekend Recon contest going – create a cool landscape pic, win Recon for use in Halo 3 multiplayer. Go read the details! (Louis Wu 18:26:04 UTC)

Nathan Moeller sent word that Competitive Video Games is running a 4v4 MLG Prize tourney next weekend, 3pm CST over LIVE. Go visit for full details.(Louis Wu 18:23:41 UTC)

Heh – cool. McFarlane’s making a series of figures that each have a Mongoose – they look great! Thanks, InnerRayg.(Louis Wu 14:15:56 UTC)
