Johnny Be Good, of Halo.fr, sent along a link to his Flickr-based Panorama collection. Awesome shots!(Louis Wu 19:15:35 UTC)

Daniel ‘Tyrant’ Morris’ Solo Legendary All Skulls On tutorial continues with Floodgate, probably the easiest level in the game at this difficulty. That said, there are still nuances that will get you killed if you don’t pay attention – so watch his vids, and read his text, for the most secure path through!(Louis Wu 15:09:16…

Wow. urk, over at Bungie, found a ‘Splasertage’ from a guy who’s got more than 18,000 spartan laser kills under his belt. According to Halo3.junk.ws, I’ve only got a few thousand kills more than that… with EVERY weapon, combined. (This one really benefits from the higher-quality YouTube version… and the writeup there says 21,000 kills,…

Heh – Kotaku has a story about Matt ‘mothergoat’ Cox, who has produced a rather large body of work in the Halo fan community and is now a lead designer at 5TH Cell. Apparently, he went on vacation recently, and while he was gone, his coworkers pranked him by wrapping his entire desk in brown…

XerxdeeJ stopped by because it’s TTL Tuesday – he comes bearing news of a pretty cool little egg in the Halo 3: Recon trailer (maybe), and a great highlight reel put together by TTL Hoovaloov, showing off some of the dumbest (and funnest) stuff that can happen with vehicles in Halo 3. (Mostly. There’s an…

Heh – prescient, or just lucky? NiTrOuS 343 ran across an article at Yahoo News that discusses the Epsilon Eridanus system… and how scientists think they’ve found evidence of a planetary system there. Reach just got more feasible!(Louis Wu 14:59:52 UTC)

The Fight Like a Girl tourney that dominated our front page’s sidebar for a few weeks went off this weekend without a hitch (that I know of) – they raised almost $4000 for worthy causes, and a lot of people got the chance to play against Bungie employees in 2v2 competitions. One of these was…

We got word of ‘Indestructible’, a Halo music vid set to music from Disturbed done by Luck0, of HaloGrid. You can watch it on YouTube, or discuss it on the HaloGrid forum. Really nice camerawork, and great attention to detail – this one really works! Thanks, Jordan Pimentel.(Louis Wu 23:51:46 UTC)

A Bungie artist, who shall remain nameless (beyond his rather vague gamertag), replied to a whole series of questions over at Bungie.net (none of which really had anything to do with art). His answers are pretty interesting… but it’s possible that the information he provided was presented in a way that might make things hard…

We mentioned a few weeks ago that Bungie’s sound team won the Creative Achievement in Interactive Entertainment Sound Production from the Mix Foundation – what we didn’t notice (until Marty pointed it out) was that they’d posted the awards acceptances online. Here’s the clip of Marty and company accepting this TEC Award – check out…

TTL Demag0gue stopped in to announce that Reclaimer 104 is online. We’ve learned something intriguing about Viper… (Louis Wu 17:59:18 UTC)

GotGame considers Halo 3 to be one of the top 3 games to play while drunk. Having done that, I’d have to say I disagree. Go see what you think. (Louis Wu 17:58:37 UTC)

We got word of a new service purporting to help you get together with friends to play online (lots of games, though the press release mentioned Halo 3 specifically) – I haven’t tried it, but anyone who does, and wants to share their experience, our forum is open!(Louis Wu 17:58:07 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy found a pretty bizarre-looking female Spartan custom figure on eBay – I don’t think she’s happy with the EVA helmet. (Louis Wu 17:57:43 UTC)

maximumfear let us know about a new contest at Gamers in Action – Let’s Get Creative raises money for Child’s Play, and you can participate in a number of different ways. Swing by the page for full details!(Louis Wu 17:57:10 UTC)

RandomSauce let us know that the Halo 3 Mythbusters are looking for people who’ve used tricks they’ve learned from the Mythbusters movies in Matchmaking. Send fileshare links to halo3mythbusters@gmail.com, and you may find them used in a montage called (appropriately) “Using Myths in Matchmaking.(Louis Wu 19:27:25 UTC)

DigitalPh33r’s Hard Justice: Episode 3 is now online. I’m thinking this is one society that SHOULD collapse on itself. Thanks, UnSiLeNtSlAyEr. (Louis Wu 18:49:32 UTC)

Decommissioner found an article at Gamepro that delineates the 38 Most Memorable First Enemies (why 38? you got me…). Halo’s Elites make the list at #22.(Louis Wu 18:43:34 UTC)

Wow… I’m floored. Hawty McBloggy enlisted the help of a LOT of friends to create an amazing montage of pictures showing off Fairfax the Bunny in a variety of Halo-related situations. Photoshop for the win! Fairfax is Marissa’s Bunny, and he’s out there to build awareness for infantile spasms – Hawty has shown that when…
