This is a little late… but hey, it’s still December, so… The Blue Skittle is running its annual Community Advent Calendar – and the 2nd was Halo-related. A funny song from mendicantbias00, coupled with some cool art from Halcylon! Go look. (And peek at other days, while you’re there – there seems to be a…

BattleMaster2552 stopped by to point out an auction he’s kicked off (runs for a little less than a week, at this point) – he’s selling 15 Joyride action figures, plus some extras, in a single lot. Current bid is $127.50 – the collection loks pretty impressive! (It includes the original light-up Cortana.) Take a look!(Louis…

J23 noticed a new australian show called Game Damage – it stars Yahtzee (of Zero Punctuation fame) and friends, and covers gaming news in an entertaining fashion. The first episode has some Master Chief skits that make it Halo-related – go check it out!(Louis Wu 14:25:57 UTC)

mrsmiley let us know that week 2 of the Happy Halodays contest is now over – winner and runners-up are posted. Rounds 3 and 4 are open for entries – there aren’t that many people submitting shots, so your chances of winning are high! Free MS points – go get ’em!(Louis Wu 19:07:56 UTC)

The Hindsight series of level analyses continues over at Ascendant Justice – the final level, Halo, is now available. Sprinkled with comments from Dan Miller, the Campaign Designer responsible for a lot of what we encounter here, this discussion ties all three Halos together nicely, and wraps up the look back at Halo 3. As…

It’s the second week of Forge Hub’s domination of Bungie Favorites – and if you swing by Bungie.net you can read about Matty’s ‘Aperture’ map. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 15:18:51 UTC)

It’s Wednesday, so it’s time for another installment of ODS Steve over at Hawty McBloggy’s – Episode 6 shows that Steve has… powers.(Louis Wu 15:16:32 UTC)

RotaJota noticed an article on the OXM website called ‘Life After Halo’, posted last week – but he points out that the date suggests it’s older than that. He’s right – it was first published in the December issue, and pointed out by LoneRanger 2.5 on our forum about 2 months ago. And even THEN,…

Bungie’s ‘Average Joe’ series continues, this time with urk talking to Tyrant, the man behind the Mythic Walkthroughs. Go give it a read to see what Tyrant does outside of Halo… and how he got interested in what he DOES do.(Louis Wu 19:20:28 UTC)

It’s Tuesday, so it’s time for another Tied the Leader update – and this week, it’s a video put together by TTL OboeCrazy, showing off what happens when you teabag a Gunslinger. Great music. Thanks, deeJ.(Louis Wu 13:23:35 UTC)

Z sent word of Alcom’s Halo 2 Vista Montage on Halo3Forum.com. Resolution rocks. It’s really cool to see the Halo 2 levels again, especially so clearly. The editing… well, it’s fast. The movie is just under 8 minutes long, and weighs in at a bit over 300 mb. Go watch!(Louis Wu 13:11:50 UTC)

mrsmiley let us know about an interview he did with Gruntsbane, the artist behind the Halo Babies comics, back during his PAX visit this summer.

CinemaBlend got their hands on some new Halo Wars wallpaper – and then spend all their text space dissing the Halo games themselves. The desktops are great, though, so grab ’em and ignore the nastiness. (Louis Wu 12:47:49 UTC)
