XerxdeeJ stopped by with a friendly warning, and news of a story about clans you might be interested in playing, if a good game is what you’re after. Check it out!(Louis Wu 14:50:06 UTC)

PriorMarcus noticed more pics from ToyFair 08 at Figures.com – more stuff from McFarlane this time. And while we’re talking about ToyFair, check out this story at Kotaku.au – apparently, there’s going to be a Kotobukiya Cortana coming soon. (Maybe that’s what JonnyOThan was hinting at?)(Louis Wu 14:49:25 UTC)

Interesting – Escapist Magazine reports on a GamePro story that Microsoft is looking to buy Epic Games for a billion dollars this summer. I guess having a top-flight team in-house is something that’s important to them… and maybe now that Bungie’s gone, they need someone to make the next 360 sustainer?(Louis Wu 14:48:36 UTC)

Psychophan7 was the first to point out that yesterday’s VG Cats had two Halo Kirby characters – 44 is Cortana, and 45 is MC. Cute!(Louis Wu 14:47:53 UTC)

VVM pointed out that Frankie is on Major Nelson’s podcast this year. You’ll have to listen for details, sorry.(Louis Wu 14:47:29 UTC)

Onebitrocket whipped up a new Hunter painting – it can be seen over at DeviantART. Nice!(Louis Wu 14:47:05 UTC)

Gonna see if I can whip through the stuff I noticed before I have to get off this box – first up is a post yesterday from TTL Demag0gue – Reclaimer Chapter Three, Part Seven was released. I wish mines worked like that for me…(Louis Wu 14:46:42 UTC)

Today’s One One Se7en might strike a chord in a few of the final Halo 3 level runners… maybe more than a few.(Louis Wu 21:01:34 UTC)

Over at Newgrounds, there’s a new vid called ‘Halo 3 On Legandary’ [sic] – it follows a kid for a week while the Game Fuel bottles and Halo 3-branded Doritos bags pile up in his room. I kept waiting for the funni.(Louis Wu 21:00:37 UTC)

Gamersweb.it has a pic of a radio-controlled car that bears more than a passing resemblance to a well-known Halo vehicle.(Louis Wu 21:00:03 UTC)

thepwnshoppe has posted a few screens snagged from saved films… nice work!(Louis Wu 20:57:51 UTC)

Meghan Hall, from the Ultimate Gamers International, let us know that a video recap of their Halo 3 Tourney in Tennessee last month, is now up at YouTube. 10 minutes long, with tournament floor footage, interviews, and more. They had 210 players show up, along with 50 fans who were there just to spectate. Go…

Laird pointed us to an article at Figures.com – there’s a new figure from Gentle Giant that was released at the 2008 Toy Fair show. You can see a gallery full of their work, in fact (including busts we knew about, an Arbiter prototype we didn’t, and some closeups on weapons and the like). Check…

Eddy, from Smooth Few Films, let us know that The Bag Boy, a new Halo 3 machinima from the guys who brought you ‘The Over-Achiever’, is now up – you can download it from their website, or stream it from YouTube. An entertaining look at teabagging, from a father-son duo.(Louis Wu 20:55:52 UTC)

XLEAGUE.TV is televising the 4v4 Team League Finals – in fact, as of this writing, they’ve already started. (8 pm Local Time in the UK – 3 pm Eastern, noon Pacific). Channel 208 on SKY, or on www.xleague.tv, with £10,000 on the line for the top 4 teams. Go watch!(Louis Wu 20:53:48 UTC)

Okay, internet connectivity isn’t what I’d hoped it would be here. Sigafoos let us know yesterday that The Riot 87 was online – clan news, GTV’s machinima contest, and info about playlists fill up 26 minutes and 10.5 mb. Go listen!(Louis Wu 20:52:28 UTC)

Okay, so in a bit over 3 hours, I’m getting into a car with the rest of my family, and driving down to Newark airport, where we’re getting on a plane bound for Mexico. Hopefully, this will not mean that you will not get any Halo news for a week… but I’m promising nothing. It’s…

Elnea’s updated Halo Action Figure Theater with a scary episode – I feel really bad for John! (I feel bad for Elnea, too, who’s struggling to fit some pithy simile into a tiny speech bubble – see if you can help her out.)(Louis Wu 05:24:53 UTC)

Today’s installment of Another Halo Comic Strip looks at game variants you’ll probably be happy that Bungie skipped. As a bonus, there’s also a very touching memorial to Brian Morden – ZZoMBiE13 didn’t know him, but was moved by his story. ZZoMBiE13… you rock.(Louis Wu 14:28:14 UTC)

Last summer, Nick Singer released the third of three Marathon/Halo music mixes – but he wasn’t happy with the piece as a trilogy end. He reworked the second half, both to make it sound more Halo-like, and to be more satisfying and conclusive for the three-piece series. Give a listen to the final product (mp3,…
