When we mentioned the most recent Monthly Update from the Halo Wars team, we pointed out that the scrambled pics they included would probably clear up over time, as they did the last time this style was used. A few days ago, a thread opened on the Halo Wars forum to discuss the changes (which…

BlueNinja stopped by yesterday with news of new panoramas – great shots from outside Floodgate!(Louis Wu 13:13:56 UTC)

Red vs Blue: Reconstruction Chapter 13 was posted late last night – the crew does their best (which, um, isn’t very good) to obtain a vehicle, or two, to use in a base assault. It goes about as well as can be expected. Production values are as high as ever (there’s one effect I’m still…

Bryan Simon has been putting out original Halo songs (1|2) for the past couple of weeks – and now he’s got a new one. Lichtonatus says it’s “Made entirely of awesome” – and I’d have to agree. Go listen to ‘I Bought My 50’… and laugh. (Unless you did.) Funniest tidbit, for me… the top…

My7hos has kicked off a new feature on our forum – “Where’s the Chief?” (He actually ran a feature like this some time ago, under a different name.) An image with a hidden Master Chief was posted on his blog, and folks set out to look for him. I’m not sure if I can front-page…

OddGodHMK let us know that The Biased has been officially released; the cover and Page 1 are now online in their final forms. New pages will be released on Mondays and Thursdays.(Louis Wu 17:15:29 UTC)

GameGuru, a gaming site in India, has a rumor that I haven’t seen elsewhere, at least not yet – and it contains a number of details that are totally new to me. I’m inclined to extreme suspicion at the moment… but will withhold final judgement for the time being. The gist of the rumor is…

TTL Demag0gue let us know that Reclaimer 84 is now up; things are getting a little scary! (Louis Wu 14:18:54 UTC)

Ross Mills noticed a writeup of a very cool entry into this year’s Red Bull Derby, over at Kotaku – even though it doesn’t move very well, I’d still LOVE to have that Ghost!(Louis Wu 14:17:21 UTC)

Finnish Spartan has finished up his molded helmet, and started on an AR model; we’ve added a bunch of new images to the gallery page we set up for him. Swing by and look!(Louis Wu 14:15:26 UTC)

More news from the Geekscape crew – Jake108 snagged interviews with Eric Nylund, Tobias Buckell and Joseph Staten at the San Diego ComicCon in July – swing by YouTube to watch! (Louis Wu 13:56:47 UTC)

Jake108 let us know that the folks at Geekscape have put together another installment of Teabag Prevention – this one focuses on Snowbound. There are descriptions of where to find the key elements on the map, and strategies for building up your kill count. If you find it useful, remember that this is #19 in…

We got word from Briar, of Briar’s Armor, that the one-off sniper rifle he built is now for sale on eBay. Starting bid is $115, and you’ve got until September 14 to make up your mind. Worth a look!(Louis Wu 13:50:27 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy found a pretty nice-looking Cortana Faceplate for your 360 while she was trawling the eBay waters. It ain’t cheap, though. And I think it would look better in the vertical configuration than the horizontal one. Go look.(Louis Wu 20:15:55 UTC)

A tutorial at You Noobs Got Owned will show you how you can make a Halo 3 screenshot look like it’s a miniature model. Pretty slick!(Louis Wu 20:02:40 UTC)

So one of the things I did at PAX last weekend was to collect a few signed prints, for folks who weren’t able to make it to the show. I snagged a total of 25 prints – 23 of them are signed (some by multiple people). I just need some help in coming up with…

Brandon found a TRUE HEROES Plasma Blaster (1600×1200, 312k) at Toys R Us, for $14.99 – I’d have to agree with him that it looks an AWFUL lot like a Halo-style assault rifle. (For $15 and a little paint, you’ve got a great cheap prop.) I couldn’t find it in TRU’s online store – but…

RandomSauce let us know that his second ‘MythBusters’ video, a project he does with TURRET BUDDY, is now up on YouTube. As was true last time, there are some pretty interesting tidbits, and watching it might teach you something cool! (It should be noted that not all of the research is accurate; for example, they…

evildoctorwill put together his list of least favorite to most favorite Halo multiplayer maps – from all three games. You don’t have to agree, but give his reasoning a look-over, and add your own comments!(Louis Wu 16:05:37 UTC)

gothi wrote to us about an application he’s been working on that scans your game history for games with assets (video clips and pictures), and then lets you browse them easily. What an amazingly useful tool! Unfortunately, it’s PC-only, but it works fine under Parallels on OSX. There’s a short FAQ to help you get…
