The Spawn.com website is giving away two complete sets of the McFarlane Halo 3 Series 1 figures – just fill in the form here, and you might win! (Hurry; contest ends next Thursday.)(Louis Wu 12:36:02 UTC)

oriol003 wanted us to know about a news post at Grunts R Us – apparently, a significant number of the Recon winners from the Valentines Day playlist have been ‘hacked’, and had their accounts stolen. (I have no way of verifying this information – but for the purposes of this newspost, we’ll assume it’s true.)…

Dan Baker contacted us and told us that because he was disappointed with Halo: Uprising, he decided to do something about it. He’s started his own Halo comic – penciled, inked, painted in Photoshop, laid out in InDesign. He’s going to be providing it in two formats – an online version posted panel by panel…

Digikid pointed out that Spriggs Episode 7 has been released; currently there’s only a DivX download available, but more is coming. 16 minutes, 87 mb, the story is getting far more coherent. (No less silly – but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.) Go watch!(Louis Wu 01:13:26 UTC)

Lani let us know that Halownage is running a small 32-player online tournament – play starts and ends on March 20, with Microsoft points, XBL subscriptions, and HoC credits on the line. Go read the Halownage forum post for the full details.(Louis Wu 01:08:31 UTC)

It’s common knowledge that Bungie employees have access to heads of flame when playing on Xbox LIVE – ZZoMBiE13 shows you why that might not be something to strive for in today’s edition of Another Halo Comic Strip. (He also had something eloquent to say about Stuntmutt’s retirement yesterday… conveniently desktop-sized if you’ve got an…

Rokit and friends have kicked off an art contest on the Bungie.net forums – submit your Bungie-related artwork, maybe go home with some cool Bungie store schwag. Go read the rules! Thanks, Maximum Fear.(Louis Wu 19:35:59 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy found an interesting lamp on eBay recently; a jackal squares off against a pair of spartans in a tree. Check it out!(Louis Wu 19:25:15 UTC)

SPARTAN 294 pointed out that according to Major Nelson, Call of Duty 4 is still on top of the LIVE activity charts. I did some math… and I’d like to personally apologize for this. You see, CoD4 started this run on February 7… the day before I stopped playing Halo 3 – except for three…

I love it when a plan comes together. At least, that’s what it SEEMS like is happening with Halo Action Figure Theater – Elnea let us know that HAFT 133 went live last night, and things are STARTING to look like they have a shape. (She’s also got some interesting background info on the lengths…

Cocopjojo pointed out a new blog at Ascendant Justice – there are a few articles up already. Old and Aspiring looks at the upcoming Legendary Map Pack (and tries to make some predictions), they’ve got a Downloadable Content Page where they’ve compiled every quote Bungie’s given about each upcoming map, and they’re kicking off a…

Insight Gamer (and others in his thread) have been playing around with Spartan Laser physics – reminds me of the early days of Halo again! With Theater mode, you can see all sorts of secrets behind the curtain…(Louis Wu 13:54:54 UTC)

Juxtapose was the first to let us know that Halo 3 (and Halo 2) made cameo appearances in the Season Finale of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Files (a TV show on Fox). He sent this along Sunday night; apparently, he’d been able to see it on CTV on Sunday, even though it broadcast here in…

Back in November (well, starting in late October, I guess), Rooster Teeth posted a machinima series on Xbox Live Marketplace and on their website, for sponsors – Recovery One is a four-part series that follows up on Out of Mind, and expands the RvB universe. (It’s considerably darker than the standard RvB fare.) It’s now…

Congratulations to Team Cannonball, who won the Winter Grifball League Championships last night, beating Grunts of Fury by a score of 8 goals to 1. They finish the season undefeated, having a total of only 14 goals scored against them in all 14 games they played (while scoring 94 against their opponents). Well-played, guys! (Thanks…

So… remember that auction we held recently, for a piece of Mister Chief artwork, with proceeds going to charity? Well, the price for that puppy took off after someone asked “if I buy it, can I have Recon armor?” and Frankie said “of course.” The guy who bought it, though, bandicat… he’s just a nice…

Stuntmutt might make you cry today. Go read One One Se7en to see why.(Louis Wu 14:11:07 UTC)

kilaMOMjaro let us know that Gaming4Others has kicked off registration for a tournament that will help one of their members get a new kidney. (No, I’m not joking.) The Help RJB Finish the Fight Charity Tourney takes place on March 22, and entrants can compete in the FFA or 4v4 contests. Registration is $10/person, and…

Tyler Tschida let us know that he’s opened up a new site called Installation 05, specifically to sell products like McFarlane’s Toys and ActionClix sets. They’re running a promotion right now where they’re giving away a 5-figure ActionClix set to a lucky winner – and if you mention HBO, your entry is doubled. Check ’em…

2phast wrote to point out that the next Larry the Marine is now up – Larry has come up with yet another plan to defeat the Covenant. This one’s definitely better than the last one… but I think it still might have some holes.(Louis Wu 13:56:01 UTC)
