Monochron noticed yet another GameDaily article that mentions Halo – this one picks the top 25 game logos of all time (based on their potential for tattoos, apparently) – and the Halo 3 logo comes in second. (Quake takes the top spot.)(Louis Wu 14:41:34 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy found a plasma pistol montage – it’s all kills with the plasma pistol. No, not an overcharge and then a beatdown/headshot/whatever… but actual kills by being hit with plasma shots. Some of these you have to wonder about – they take him many, many seconds to finish off his opponents, who totally fail…

A million years ago (okay, really only 6.5 years ago), Karl “oldmano’theC” Nyman sent us a video he’d created using Pixels:3D and his own music. It was called ‘Halo Genesis•1’, and although it was tiny (320×180), it was gorgeous. Sometime in 2005, he remastered this video in a larger form factor (640×360) and newly-mixed audio……

The Average Joe series at Bungie.net claims another victim today – urk sat down with Ascendant Justice’s Cocopjojo to talk about Halo, speakers, and Rockets on Chiron. It’s a good read!(Louis Wu 20:37:57 UTC)

mans1ay3r combined Halo 3 and Fallout 3 to make a pretty fun little video – check it out on YouTube! Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 20:33:11 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy noticed that the Halo Points program has finally kicked off over at McFarlane Toys – go see what you can pick up!(Louis Wu 20:18:52 UTC)

According to a post on the Bungie Blog, the latest episode of Chaos Theory is being released in pieces – Episode Eight: Part One is up now.(Louis Wu 20:13:47 UTC)

Dennis Powers let us know that Shipwrecked Episode 51 is now up – climbing can be hard.(Louis Wu 20:12:30 UTC)

urk highlighted a new Top 10 vid from KillPie, focusing on assassinations. Personally, it seems more like “10 Halo 3 Assassinations” rather than “Top 10 Halo 3 Assassinations”… but maybe I’m just jaded. Decide for yourself. (Louis Wu 20:10:21 UTC)

Link4044 (search our news if the name isn’t familiar – he’s made some pretty cool Halo paraphernalia in the past) sent along a few backstage shots from the ‘Match Made in Halo’ wedding that took place this weekend; he was there, along with some 405th Forum compatriots, to add some Marine backup in case it…

newguy2445 dropped in yesterday with new details about ‘Out With a Whimper’, the upcoming Halo sidescroller from TriBlox. (We mentioned this game back in December, when a demo was released.) In newguy2445’s forum post, you’ll find a link to a new trailer (in HD), a bunch of cool screenshots, and links to a FAQ, their…

The Catfish stopped by to announce that 2501 Episode 4 is online – the story continues to unfold. (Louis Wu 15:10:57 UTC)

It’s been a really, really long time (over 2 years, in fact!) since we’ve received a new article from Stephen Loftus – but the dry spell is over. He’s recently sent along a monstrous treatise on the Pillar of Autumn, as an indicative example of the Halcyon-class cruiser – he’s analyzed it down to its…

Google News (and shortly afterwards 2900d4u) pointed out an interview with Joseph Staten, over at GamePro.com… some tasty little tidbits in there (and some crackpipe-induced speculation on our forum about some of the vaguer bits). Give it a read!(Louis Wu 02:12:23 UTC)

pete_the_duck has some bad luck sometimes… he shows you why you should always check your corners after you spawn!(Louis Wu 02:11:04 UTC)

oriol003 wants to help you promote your machinima; he’s got a YouTube channel with 4800 subscribers and would love to offer your content to those eyeballs. Check out his forum post for details on how to accomplish this! (Louis Wu 02:09:06 UTC)

The Bungie Blog has a pair of fan-written reviews of some recent machinima – swing by if you’re looking for stuff to watch. The first is yet another version of the Discovery Channel’s ‘I Love the Whole World’ vid (some great choices of clips!), and the second is an interesting little zombie short, created by…

Ross Mills pointed out a thread on the Penny Arcade forums showing off a collection of artwork painted by a woman raising money for Oxfam Unwrapped – she was taking requests until recently (the queue got too long, so she froze it), but the existing collection is pretty amazing to look at. Obligatory Halo 3…

Bungie.net has put up a tutorial to help you take super-cool screenshots, written by a community member that’s made a bunch of super-cool screenshots. Give it a read – it’s got some great tips!(Louis Wu 19:59:47 UTC)

GameDaily, clearly desperate for ‘new’ content, has posted a piece called ‘Iconic Video Game Headgear’, rating hats/helmets of various videogame characters. MC’s helmet makes the list (though it’s not the number-one topping). Thanks, Morpheus.(Louis Wu 19:15:20 UTC)
