Huge props to mnemesis, who covered the place yesterday when I simply couldn’t get to an internet connection. Let’s see if I can whip out a few posts in the short time I’ve got available this morning – he might be around later today. First up – almost lost in the noise of the AutoUpdate…

Almost forgot today’s One One Se7en, although you may have been happier if I did.(mnemesis 19:25:43 UTC)

Reclaimer Chapter Three, Part Eight has been posted for your Reclaimer comic requirements. Thank TTL Demag0gue for the heads-up.(mnemesis 16:43:25 UTC)

Pinkuh’s posted a new sketch of the MC with no helmet. Thank Pixellated for the heads-up. (mnemesis 16:38:10 UTC)

Inside Halo – Episode 7 is up and available for your inside-y Halo edification. Thank Smurfa for the heads-up. Funkakke!(mnemesis 16:32:20 UTC)

There’s a new Top Story over on B.net detailing the stuff to come in the autoupdate. It’s nothing new, as it’s all copied straight from the WWU from two weeks ago, but I suppose it means the AU is coming soon? Thank MasterChief2829 for the heads-up. Update: Doh! It’s supposed to go live, uh, now-ish,…

There’s something weird going on over at Halo Action Figure Theater – I blame the Game Fuel.(Louis Wu 19:24:08 UTC)

Both bonnie mccaleb, via email, and Hawty McBloggy, on her blog, recommended the latest offering from Darkspire films, entitled ‘Travis’. Oh, the wonders of lag…(Louis Wu 19:14:55 UTC)

ZZoMBiE13 kicks off a drone-related week at Another Halo Comic Strip. There’s more news in the pipeline – but no more time to post it. Sorry!(Louis Wu 14:57:15 UTC)

BBC’s Darren Waters caught up to Chris Butcher at the Game Developers Conference this week – you can listen to Chris discuss where Halo 3 fits into Bungie’s current plans, and talk about what’s coming next (without saying anything).(Louis Wu 14:53:05 UTC)

Box Office Prophets announced their Calvin Awards 2008 – and Halo 3 took Best Videogame. (The article will explain their surprise in this result.)(Louis Wu 14:52:40 UTC)

Someone from the Engineering department of E.CAB Elevator sent us this link to a site that sells costumes… and it looks like Rubie’s is making a Master Chief Halo costume! Preorder price is $900… pricey!(Louis Wu 14:52:09 UTC)

The J3ster sent us a link to Eric Nylund’s blog – a story there this week reveals that there were two chapters cut from Ghosts of Onyx, for pacing reasons… Eric’s wondering if he should release those at some point. (I say yes!) (Louis Wu 14:51:34 UTC)

We got word that there’s a new measurement tool with a model embedded, over at the 405th forums. If you’re building armor, this might help a lot in making things proportional!(Louis Wu 14:51:07 UTC)

Haloplayer dropped in to announce Lost Cause 17 – “Leslie’s Plan”. Focus shifts a little bit… read his post for details, and download links.(Louis Wu 14:50:31 UTC)

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)
