ZZoMBiE13 continues to create artwork inspired by the RvB: Reconstruction machinima series. His latest offering is an imagining of a scene in Episode 6 – it’s viewable at DeviantART, or in Wallpaper form right here. (He’s also returned to work on an older image of the Meta – the sketch can be found here.)(Louis Wu…

The crew at the the HBO Fan Fiction forum is a bit slow right now – Mark25 has just posted the Fan Fiction Pick of the Week… for LAST week. Oops. Thanks, A Halo Fan…natic. (Louis Wu 14:29:47 UTC)

InnerRayg pointed out some news from Spawn.com about the new helmet-packs coming out for McFarlane action figures – looking pretty slick! You can keep up on ALL McFarlane figure options by checking out their new Halo Product page – pretty slick.(Louis Wu 14:29:25 UTC)

Brian and Luke are in Tokyo for the Tokyo Game Show (which starts next Thursday, so the Bungie Weekly Update was left to Shishka this week. And as much as I’d like to say that one should never, ever leave Shishka in charge… I have to admit, it’s a pretty sweet update. There’s quite a…

We got a couple of new panoramas from RVideo – a gorgeous shot of the Ark (325k), and a cool shot of a Pelican (140k). Check ’em out! (Louis Wu 17:14:15 UTC)

It’s time for another round of Friday Caption Fun, from Hawty McBloggy – she’s got some good answers for last week’s shot, as well as a pretty nice perspective trick for this week’s shot. Go see what you can come up with!(Louis Wu 14:32:09 UTC)

KP has a way with words – but it’s not always the way you want to go. A nice example is his intro to the Cavegirls’ Fight Like a Girl tournament, coming up in 3 weeks – it will benefit breast and cervical cancer research, and it promises to be a blast, if the last…

Devin Olsen, jealous of the press Hawty McBloggy gets by turning up unique Halo action figures on eBay, has found his own truly bizarre creation – a Custom Halo 3 Hayabusa Spartan… with wrist blades. Yep, you read that right – this guy could take on Wolverine. (Given that his blades are 2-3x as long…

Adam Grumbo sent us a link to a series of photos taken at a recent shoot at the Austin Airport. All I can say is… dang. Nice work! He hastens to point out that these have not been digitally edited at all.(Louis Wu 19:31:40 UTC)

DigitalPh33r’s Hard Justice: Episode 1 is now up on YouTube. I’m a little confused – it looks like he just added 4 new minutes to the 4-minute ‘promo’ released a couple of weeks ago. (I guess I always thought a ‘promo’ was suppose to give you a taste of what the full version would be…

This morning, Bungie posted a final update in their ongoing saga about the Experience problems folks have been having on LIVE. Looks like everything is finally worked out – but Experience not gained in the last couple of days will NOT be retroactively assigned. On the plus side, the Double XP weekend has just gone…
