The Zionsville (Indiana) Times Sentinel has a piece on Eric ‘Snipedown’ Wrona, a member of Str8 Rippin (currently the top-seeded team on MLGPro.com). Been a little while since we’ve seen one of these “local boy makes good” stories about a Halo pro… (interestingly enough, Snipedown was in the Zionsville news a couple of months ago,…

News from kilaMOMjaro, of the PraetoriaGuard and Gaming4Others – they’re running a HALOween Zombies Charity Tournament to benefit the Epilepsy Foundation. A promo pic with all the details can be found on the PG forum, and registration ($5) is now open at the G4O website (click through the pic). First prize is a copy of…

Pyroman put together a Halo Roll’d video (in the style of the Barak Roll’d vid that came out a couple months ago) – it’s probably the only time you’ll be happy you’ve been Roll’d.(Louis Wu 13:35:19 UTC)

ZZoMBiE13 continues his look at the RvB: Reconstruction crew – his latest picture shows a scene in which Grif is about to be executed. Nice work!(Louis Wu 13:23:16 UTC)

The interview we mentioned yesterday in which Xbox3Fanboy’s Dustin Burg collected questions from fans about Halo 3: Recon has gone live today on Joystiq – swing by and give it a read! Some of the info is stuff that’s been said before (though most of it bears repeating; rumors have a way of growing no…

DeepCee was inspired to create a new mascot for… well, I’m not sure, but I like him a lot.(Louis Wu 13:02:48 UTC)

1UP posted a Halo Wars preview based on what they saw at the Tokyo Game Show – we didn’t notice until BlueNinja brought it to our attention this morning. Give it a read for their take on the gameplay.(Louis Wu 13:00:51 UTC)

Last year, we set up a gallery for Mad Cow’s Master Chief armor – this year, he’s selling it on eBay. (He wants to build an ODST suit, and hopes this will help fund it.) You can see from our gallery that he’s put a lot of love into this one… if you’re looking for…

Jim Smith was the first to let us know that today’s Least I Could Do comic had a Halo reference. (He points out that the comic is not particularly kid-friendly, but this strip is certainly safe for work.)(Louis Wu 11:37:43 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy couldn’t let a story with a focus on sex and Halo simply fade… Last week, we mentioned a Dutch study which suggested that men who were quick on the trigger in video games might be… quick on the trigger in other areas. Hawty has taken it upon herself to help those guys out.…

TTL Demag0gue let us know that Reclaimer 100 (a milestone!) has been posted – and it looks like the Reclaimer might have a little trouble. (Louis Wu 11:36:10 UTC)

Raptree Forever came back by with word of a trailer for Montage Man Part 2 – Part 1 came out back in January. I liked Part 1; I’m not sure I get the same vibe from the Part 2 trailer, but I’m willing to wait and see.(Louis Wu 20:09:40 UTC)

Wow. Just… wow. Back in July, we pointed out that Pahis had destroyed the ‘Million Point Challenge’ set up by High Speed Halo back in October 2007 – using only three levels. His total score, at that point, was 2.2 million. He’d also completed the full game in SLASO mode in four and a quarter…

The third episode of Daniel ‘Tyrant’ Morris’ SLASO walkthrough of Halo 3 is now online – Tsavo Highway can be a tough level on a lot of difficulties, but this guide will get you through the worst of it nearly unscathed. Go read, and watch the instructive videos!(Louis Wu 14:55:49 UTC)

Bryan Simon has posted his tenth (and final) Halo song on YouTube – it’s called ‘Can My Mom Have Recon?’ and it’s a funny look at those folks who think that asking for Recon for someone ELSE is a good idea. (Something that was even funnier for me was that I actually play with someone…

Whoa – I managed to miss this until now; I’m not sure if it’s too late, but I’ll give it a shot. Xbox360Fanboy is sitting down with Bungie later today to talk to them about Recon, and they’ve asked for your questions. Stop by the news post, add your question as a comment – there…

kr-1426 had made a couple of fake TV spots for Halo 3, following the ‘Believe’ mold, which he planned to release around the time of Halo 3’s anniversary, but he didn’t get to it. They’re up now, though, and I must say, Remembrance is really well-done.(Louis Wu 12:14:34 UTC)

XerxdeeJ stopped in to announce that Tied the Leader is celebrating its third birthday – Happy Birthday, Gunslingers! Swing by and watch their September Highlights as you toast their three years of existence. (And while you’re there, read the story of Hayden, the Gunslinger baby who showed that gaming networks are good for more than…

b0anerges spent an evening in the Rio Tinto Stadium watching soccer… in his custom-made Master Chief helmet. Check out the pics!(Louis Wu 12:05:56 UTC)

It’s hard to keep track when it’s a holiday sometimes, but yesterday was Monday, so a new Red vs Blue: Reconstruction (Chapter 17) was released. It’s available for everyone now – and it’s a doozy. Some pretty big bombshells in this one… along with some classic (and I mean classic) RvB humor. Go watch.(Louis Wu…
