Treeskunk Productions has posted Episode 3 of their Outpost Isil series – the squad gets two new recruits. I’m not sure that’s a good thing… thanks, Bzerker. (If you’d rather not download it, their front page news post has streaming links on every site on the internet, apparently.)(Louis Wu 14:22:24 UTC)

In a moment of frivolity that is likely to haunt him for months, Frankie chose to highlight a Forged map someone sent him on Bungie’s front page. (Cue the sound of 100,000 frantic Forgers pm’ing Frankie with the hopes of being the NEXT highlight victim.) Go check out the map he mentioned; it’s lumpy.(Louis Wu…

Hawty McBloggy has been working on a Halo 3 Screenshots blog for a little while; she’s dropped a few hints in her main blog, but hasn’t wanted too much press before now, because she wanted to make sure she had something to show you before it went ‘public’. Cat’s out of the bag, though -…
