evildoctorwill pointed out a Player Match Commentary from Tsquared over at MLGPro.com – he played a random Double Team matchmaking game to a Perfection, and walks you through his gameplay choices. I’ll never be able to match the skill… but I bet my game improves if I pay attention to the strategy. Go watch!(Louis Wu…

Whee! Two weeks ago, Call of Duty 4 took over the Top Live Title spot – and then was bumped down again by Halo 3 last week. They’re up again – see-saw! Thanks, MasterChief2829.(Louis Wu 14:46:39 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy pointed out a ‘Halo 3-themed Spartan Shield’ she found on eBay – interestingly enough, it’s exactly the same listing as we posted back in June 2007. I guess it never expires; the guy just keeps making them as people buy them. I suppose that’s a good thing; if buyers were unhappy, it would…

OMG Halo has posted a ‘Top Five Halo 3 Maps’ – it’s just the opinion of one guy, but it’s a decent list, well-justified. Go see if you agree!(Louis Wu 13:59:01 UTC)

Halo 3 is up for a whole passel of awards from the Game Audio Network Guild – you can find out what it’s been nominated for far more easily at the Rampancy.net website than you can at the GANG website (thanks for that, Narcogen). Seven nominations… we’ll see what they go home with after February…

Halo Action Figure Theater continues on with episode 124 – I can’t tell if I should be scared, or amused. I think I’m scared.(Louis Wu 13:50:33 UTC)

A couple of weeks ago, Bungie played a Halo Humpday Challenge against the SBG clan – and today, SBG released a tribute video to say thanks to Bungie. Five and a half minutes long, 102 mb, XviD format (NAMLOCO nicely provided a link to the codec if you need it) – grab a copy of…

Dream053 has worked on machinima before, as a voice actor; he wanted to try his hand as a producer. Check out his first stab. (Louis Wu 18:19:08 UTC)

(It also includes some quotes from industry analysts on the effect of Bungie’s independence on the future success of the platform.) Thanks to Mr. Titan, at Planet Halo, for…

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)

Halo Action Figure Theater has been updated with Episode 123 – can chains really control zombies? Hmm… (Didja notice how I didn’t even deign to mention the power level reference? …DOH!)(Louis Wu 14:18:40 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…

It’s Wednesday, so it’s time for another Reclaimer comic. TTL Demag0gue posted word of Chapter Three, Part Five in our forum – looks like the Reclaimer might be in a wee bit of trouble.(Louis Wu 13:59:50 UTC)

Okay, this one has to be tagged with ‘crack pipe musings’… but dogsounds has taken some statements from Gearbox’s Randy Pitchford, and put them together with a comment from a friend inside Microsoft and some lateral thinking (or maybe just a few pints of ale) and come up with some wild speculation. You can read…

MSN UK has posted a gallery of ‘Gaming’s unsung heroes’ – supporting cast members we couldn’t live without. 343 Guilty Spark made the list. Thanks, OddGodHMK.(Louis Wu 20:25:44 UTC)
