Hawty McBloggy continues her study of Cortana Fan Art – this week’s entry comes from a favorite around here, ZZoMBiE13 – good stuff!(Louis Wu 11:56:17 UTC)

K8lunch let us know that the most recent Larry the Marine comic has been up for a few days now – which made me realize we haven’t posted news of Larry since July 4. Episodes 29 (Missing Steps), 30 (Compromised), 31 (Fall Back), and 32 (Here comes trouble…) are all up if you get your…

Halo Action Figure Theater is back, with episode 150 – and Brad discovers he might not be talking to who he thinks he’s talking to. Life can be rough when you’re dead.(Louis Wu 23:41:43 UTC)

It’s been a long wait… but it was worth it. Over at Ascendant Justice, you can read Hindsight: Halo 3 – The Ark, a blow-by-blow discussion of one of the largest levels in Halo 3. As with all previous episodes of Hindsight, you’ll almost certainly run across tidbits you missed when you played through the…

We got word from TruthPastor SBG that the August Overlord Challenge has been won by the Overlords – this time they beat Cirque D’Geezers in a well-fought match. Go read all the details at the SBG website. September’s challenge is against SBG themselves… (Louis Wu 20:30:18 UTC)

A pair of pretty cool articles over at Hawty McBloggy’s place – there’s a Stick Figure Forge Fight (stop-motion animation, inside Forge – THAT’S work), and a pretty nice looking custom Heretic Grunt action figure gleaned from the eBay ocean. Go read about ’em!(Louis Wu 16:48:01 UTC)

kr-1426 stopped in to announce that the latest HBO Fan Fic Pick of the Week article is up (along with last week’s, which never got announced, mostly because it was posted so late). Go read!(Louis Wu 16:44:03 UTC)

Very cool – looks like someone uploaded the acceptance speech vid Bungie sent to Edge for the Interactive Innovation Award announced yesterday. It clearly shows a lot of very, very interesting additions to Forge – might we be seeing these innovations in a release from Bungie sometime? (This could explain why some of the voice…

A few weeks ago, we mentioned a Legendary crest that link4044 was working on – he’s finished it. You can see pretty amazing pictures of the work on the page we set up for him – and if you like what you see… he’s selling it on eBay. Starting bid is $350, and I have…

RvB: Reconstruction Chapter 10 has been posted over at the Rooster Teeth website – there’s a public version, a high-res sponsor version, and a commentary version with Matt Hullum and Nathan Zellner. Washington meets the Reds, and everyone gets closer to the Meta. What didn’t you notice? Thanks to BlueNinja, who posted a note on…

El Mayimbe let us know that the second weekly release of concept art for a proposed ‘Fall of Reach’ movie is available for viewing at LatinoReview.com – along with a Cease and Desist letter from Microsoft, asking them to stop posting these. I dunno about you, but letters like that tend to add credibility, in…

The Handmade Hero has made a surprisingly generous offer – he’s agreed to create for anyone who asks a portrait screenshot showing off their favorite parts of the game. Read the forum post (and the website) for full details. Personally, I think it’s going to be pretty hard to keep up with demand if a…

Mid7night bought one of the True Swords Covenant Energy Swords we mentioned a couple of weeks ago… and hung it with the rest of his sword collection. Looks pretty good!(Louis Wu 21:12:05 UTC)

At the Edinburgh Interactive Festival today, Bungie won the Edge Award for Interactive Innovation for Halo 3. Not too shabby!(Louis Wu 20:24:55 UTC)

A couple of Halo-related comics for you – OddGodHMK pointed out that Boring Comics #9 has a Halo theme, and iJosh uncovered an old Dork Tower with a Halo-related punchline. (Louis Wu 19:30:42 UTC)

There are those who said this day would never come… it looks like Halo: Uprising #3, the third of the four-part Marvel comic series in the Halo universe (originally slated for release in late September, 2007) will be on store shelves this week. I’m really hesitant to post this before the comic has actually been…

Maximum Fear sent word of a new tournament set up to raise money for St. Judes Hospital, which does work on children’s cancer research. The tournament will take place in Campaign mode, with scoring on – but the setup will require cooperation between participants, rather than competition. (At least in the early rounds…) It’s $10…

TTL Demag0gue let us know that Reclaimer 75 is now up – with answers and a new member of the Cavalcade! (Louis Wu 13:01:05 UTC)

vshields ash has posted a video showing how he and Doggy got that Gold Elite (mentioned here and here last week) all the way to the end of Assault on the Control Room. I can’t even IMAGINE how long that took. It’s an intricate dance; if you get ahead, he stops moving, and if you…
