  • Brute Spiker Replica on eBay

    smick6 auctioned off a Brute Spiker replica last September – if you were interested then, but missed it, you’ve got another chance. He’s put up another one – starting bid is $275, close is just under 7 days. If you’re curious about what you’d be getting, we put together a gallery last August, showing his…

  • Forerunner Synaesthesia By Swimmer

    gender bombs (or Swimmer, or Solomon) sent us word that he’d posted an album of music for Halo 3 and the graphic novels over at B.net; It’s electronic, and he’s titled the pieces rather vaguely, so that you can decide for yourselves what tidbit of Halo inspired each one. It’s free, and the full download…

  • One of the Old Guard Retires

    Michael “Fluffaluffer” Karlsson, the long-time manager of Planet Halo, is stepping down – we’d like to take a moment to say goodbye. It’s been a good run, Fluffy!(Louis Wu 02:14:07 UTC)

  • Dropping in Behind at the Third Tower

    Rockslider is back to playing fun games in the Halo 3 Campaign – this time, he’s behind enemy lines on The Covenant. Go see what he’s come up with!(Louis Wu 02:13:32 UTC)

  • Podtacular 178

    Hype let us know that Podtacular 178 is up – Callins and Tales from the Foxhole. Go listen!(Louis Wu 18:18:26 UTC)

  • Haven’t The Foggiest Of War.

    Stuntmutt manages to poke fun at Halo Wars and Marvel, all in one totally unexpected bonus strip – go check out today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 11:58:28 UTC)

  • Untitled, by IamDank

    naveeda stopped in to talk about IamDank’s latest creation – it’s a wonderfully-edited montage… with a 3 and a half minute intro. The intro isn’t just credits, though – it’s a cool collection of machinima shorts that work nicely to introduce the montage itself. A great way to spend a Sunday morning! (If you’ve got…

  • Halo 3 Fails Episode 9

    MasterCheifn was the first to let us know about Halo 3 Fails Episode 9 – mostly because he’s in it (as the first FAIL). Of course, he blames someone else. (In this case, he blames CYBRFRK – and since we blame him a lot too, maybe MasterCheifn isn’t exaggerating.) (Louis Wu 11:54:18 UTC)

  • Game with Fame: Disciple

    The most-recently-announced Halo-related Game With Fame will be coming up on March 1, when you’ll get a chance to play with Southern/Christian Rock band Disciple. Swing by Xbox.com for full details.(Louis Wu 11:53:50 UTC)

  • Can’t finish what you started? Start something else.

    Wow, this is just… silly. Back in mid-2006, Marvel announced that they’d be publishing a monthly Halo comic, starting a few months before the release of Halo 3. The delivery of these issues has become a joke – the fourth (and last) comic is STILL not out, having had its release date pushed back AGAIN,…

  • Studying a game WAY past the ‘fun’ threshold

    Psychophan7 put together a ridiculously detailed analysis of the management of resources in the Halo Wars demo. Read it if you’ve got a while.(Louis Wu 20:58:06 UTC)

  • Grab the popcorn

    A couple of movies for you this afternoon, brought to your attention by Master Ph0bia: Darkspire’s Matchmaking Episode 19 has been released, either streaming or downloadable in 720p, and stars a guy I met in Matchmaking last night. And Arby n the Chief Season 3 Episode 07 (“Panic”) is up – folks try and come…

  • Operation Chastity: More Concept Art

    Last night, ElusiveEagle519 did some searching and turned up some interesting information about Pete Cooper’s Operation Chastity. Pete had been hoping to dole out content a little more slowly, but since it’s been found, he was kind enough to summarize the useful stuff that was put up in several different posts across a couple of…

  • A pair of vids

    2900d4u used Halo Wars cinematic footage and audio from the GI Joe trailer to make a new video about Spartan Group Omega. He also figured out how to use the Elephant as a cannon. Check out both vids in his forum post.(Louis Wu 15:55:27 UTC)

  • Holograms

    The Catfish dropped in to announce 2501 Episode 12 – things are getting weird.(Louis Wu 15:54:02 UTC)

  • Halo Wars MEGA Bloks – First View

    InnerRayg found a link on Action-Figure.com with a mini-review and some photos of the upcoming Halo Wars MEGA Bloks. Our forum denizens aren’t terribly impressed, it seems (except for maybe the Hornet and the Sparrowhawk)… but see for yourself! (Louis Wu 15:53:28 UTC)

  • David: Prologue

    Juesoni continues his live broadcasts of David segments – the fourth and final part of the machinima will be premiering at 12 noon PST (3 pm EST, 8 pm GMT/UTC). Check his forum post for links.(Louis Wu 15:52:39 UTC)

    MTV’s Multiplayer blog has a summary of their 5 Most Notorious Multiplayer Gaming Glitches. Halo 2’s BXR glitch came in at Number 1. Thanks, Decommissioner. (Louis Wu 15:51:12 UTC)

  • Halo Wars Demo Music Available

    DHalo recorded the three songs found inside the Halo Wars demo – if you’d like them, he’s packaged them up and put them on FileFront. (Louis Wu 15:50:47 UTC)

  • Avenger

    Kral sent word that he’d edited a new montage for his friend TheAvenger645 – swing by YouTube to watch it in HD. (Louis Wu 15:50:13 UTC)
