TTL Demag0gue let us know that he’s posted Reclaimer 69. He says there are answers, but I wouldn’t believe him.(Louis Wu 12:49:34 UTC)

Z let us know about MaStalee’s Halo 3 Montage 2 – it’s in 720p, with beautiful editing, and some great gameplay. I think what I liked most about this montage was the situational awareness – the clutch flag saves, the precision grenade tosses (I can’t remember seeing predictive throws like this since Halo 1), the…

In January, we posted some pics of a cardboard Hayabusa helmet created by SpArtan-270. He’s back – with some ODST armor (Pic 1 | Pic 2 | Pic 3 | Pic 4) – he’s even got a Brute Spiker! (Louis Wu 12:28:28 UTC)

It’s Friday again? Whoa. Guess that means it’s time for another round of Friday Caption Fun, over at Hawty McBloggy’s. Last week’s pic, and some of the top captions submitted for it, can be viewed, along with the new pic (which shows off the expressiveness of the MC’s hands). Go see what you can come…

Tyler Tschida, of Installation 05, let us know that an HBO visitor (UNCLBEN) was the winner of the giveaway we mentioned a few weeks ago – congrats! The site now has the McFarlane Halo 3 Series 2 figures available, if you’re having trouble finding them. (Louis Wu 12:17:22 UTC)

yoshiary let us know about the Kotaku live-blog of the Comic-Con Halo Universe panel that took place today. It’s possible that there might be a film of the panel coming at some point, but until then, this is what those of us who couldn’t be there have got. Apparently, Gamespy did one too.(Louis Wu 11:58:34…

evildoctorwill noticed that the seventh MLG/ESPN Top 10 is now vieweable at MLGPro.com. Ten pretty cool clips, and an amazing Moment of Zen. Go watch! (Louis Wu 11:52:14 UTC)

Terminal Failure pointed out a very funny ‘Stump Speech’ over at the New Yorker – it could be Obama, until about the third sentence. The Halo reference that makes this mentionable here shows up about halfway through, but the whole thing is worth reading. Give it a look! (Louis Wu 11:51:37 UTC)

There are eight new pieces up for your reading pleasure this week in the Fan Fiction section – go get ’em!(Louis Wu 11:50:27 UTC)

Team Snipers Double Experience Weekend has started – go shoot someone!(Louis Wu 19:39:57 UTC)

Over at NeoGAF, Chamellion posted what looks like a press release for an event at the Arlington Park Racetrack near Chicago. (I hunted around, but couldn’t find the original.) This Sunday, July 27, Steve Downes (voice of the Master Chief) will be on hand to sign autographs and any Halo merchandise you bring him, and…

Scotty wrote to let us know that Halo 3 RPG is now online – sign up to play Halo in this web-based RPG. There’s a guest account if you want to see what you’re getting into. Just tried it out… not sure I understand how it works. (I picked a playlist, it said I won.…

Bungie’s posted a note about their involvement at PAX, the Penny Arcade Expo coming up at the end of August. They’ll be on the show floor, and they’ll be showing off some brand new Halo 3 multiplayer content, among other things – w00t! On a sadder note, the huge fanfest they’d been planning has been…

Weta, the New Zealand studio that created all those cool props for the Neil Blomkamp Halo shorts (along with other little tidbits like, say, the Lord of the Rings movies), has announced a new line of Halo collectible statues. These will be on display this week in San Diego (during the Comic Convention) – you…

Pretty interesting article over at Gamasutra – Bungie’s Steve Scott gave a talk at Microsoft’s GameFest 2008 on the importance of effects artists for today’s videogames. Lots of cool Halo 3 details. Give it a read! (Louis Wu 15:25:37 UTC)

Google Alerts brought me news of a Halo 3 Campaign review from Captain Spark – but before I could post it, Rockslider pointed it out in our forum. Go read the musings of a longtime HBO contributor! (Louis Wu 15:23:20 UTC)

Eurogamer’s posted their full post-E3 interview with Don Mattrick, and Halo comes up quite a bit. Very little new information, really, but the wording is interesting.(Louis Wu 15:22:58 UTC)

TheGuardian let us know he’s been working on some new Halo 3 Panoramas – you can see them over at DeviantART. I really like ‘The Gap’! (Louis Wu 15:20:50 UTC)
