Pointless Lists has posted a series of stereoscopic Halo 3 screenshots, using the technique put forth by Kato a few months ago. If you’ve got 3D glasses, take a look! Update: whoa. Guess I should have checked our forum, first – Mike Carson (the guy behind Pointless Lists) mentioned this there about an hour ago.(Louis…

The Riot 86, with Community Awards results (though not the actual awards ceremony itself), is now available for your listening pleasure, at Second-Foundation.net. 30 minutes, 12 mb, with lots of community news on top of the awards stuff. Go listen!(Louis Wu 22:11:01 UTC)

Last month, Hawty McBloggy kicked off a ‘Caption This’ contest, asking for submissions regarding a shot of Joe Staten holding an enormous spike grenade. Today, she’s posted the results of that contest – she got nearly 500 submissions, and narrowing it down was tough. You can read the winner, along with a number of honorable…

Darkspire Films wondered what Halo 3 would be like with extreme content enabled. Looks to be inspired by Quentin Tarantino. Pretty short (1:20 long), so go take a look!(Louis Wu 16:13:13 UTC)

This was supposed to go up yesterday – but… well, yesterday was something else. So it’s up today. Another Halo Comic Strip looks at what COULD have been… and says ‘thankya’.(Louis Wu 15:41:30 UTC)

In 2001, Halo was a finalist for 8 awards from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences – it won 4 of those. In 2005, Halo 2 was up for 6 awards – and again, won 4. This year, Halo 3 picked up a paltry two nominations (Outstanding Achievement in Online Game Play and Action…

Spartan Jag was the first to notice that DigitalPh33r’s Arby ‘n’ Chief Episode 4 was up at Machinima.com (you can also find it on YouTube – thanks, Vincent). Topical – it focuses on melee attacks, and how they work (or don’t). Arby’ll probably take less verbal abuse by the end of the month…(Louis Wu 13:38:07…

The Bungie Weekly Update is up – there is in-depth info about the fixes to the Melee system in Halo 3 (coming later this month to an AutoUpdate near you!), with some fascinating behind-the-scenes numbers that should really help people looking for ways to maximize damage to others (and minimize their own death). There’s also…

Frank O’Connor, in a fit of charity, decided to create an honest-to-goodness real-media-on-canvas rendition of Mister Chief… and give you a chance to buy it.

Wired interviewed Shane Kim at DICE recently, and Halo came up a few times. It really sounds like Microsoft is working hard to dispel the notion that your Xbox is for playing Halo, alone. (In fact, more than once, it sounds almost like he’s complaining about it.) They’re trying to grow their market, and the…

There are only four new pieces to read in the Fan Fiction section this week – you should be able to knock ’em off before breakfast.(Louis Wu 11:22:21 UTC)
