Mythica was hiccuping yesterday (a taste of things to come? Remember, you’ve only got until the end of this month to download what you want from there), so I wasn’t able to announce a Director’s Edition (basically, commentary by blackouTT) of Fathom, which had a trailer released last July. If you swing by the HaloGrid…

ZZoMBiE13 finishes up his special series of visits to other Halos in today’s installment of Another Halo Comic Strip – man, those things get all SORTS of weird visitors. Starting next week, he’s back to his usual Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday schedule for releases.(Louis Wu 14:15:31 UTC)

Over at Rampancy.net, OldNick takes a look at boss battles in Halo 2, and Halo 3, and discusses what makes sense and what doesn’t. The followup comments from Narcogen and others are also very insightful. Great discussion!(Louis Wu 14:11:11 UTC)

When Halo 3 launched, a couple of High Speed Halo regulars hooked up with G4TV and agreed to run Halo 1, live, on legendary, in LA, during the kickoff ceremonies. Cody Miller stopped by last night to post G4’s coverage of the event. I wish they’d called them ‘speedrunners’ instead of ‘speed gamers’… but that’s…

Ross Mills pointed out a blog post at Complex.com that looks at a new, ultra-limited run of Halo-themed shoes, created by Adidas for Gil Arenas. (“Ultra-limited” means 100 pairs, total. No, you’re not getting one.) Narcogen mentioned this as well, though he found it at Kotaku (who, in turn, got it from Complex). This means…

If you swing by the Halo Wars website, you’ll find another concept art offering – this time, it’s a Forerunner mining machine that’s since been cut from the game. Gorgeous piece, and it looks like it was a pretty cool concept! Thanks, Mike Smith. (Mike also points out a random blog post that suggests that…

mrsmiley, over at Halo Babies, pointed out Working Class HALO, a site run by a bunch of guys that love Halo – and express it by creating screenshot-based comics of their matchmaking exploits. Take a look!(Louis Wu 13:28:18 UTC)

Bungie Weekly Update is up (both at Bungie, and in our Weekly Update Archive), and it’s a doozy. Melee fixes, map changes, and Luke-bashing. And Mister Chief is back. Go read.(Louis Wu 03:46:54 UTC)

When Deus Ex Machina Episode 4 was posted, it looked like the series was over. (It was even called ‘The End’.) Swing by YouTube, though, and you can watch Episode 5, a 22 and a half minute piece from DigitalPh33r. (I assume this will be available soon on Machinima.com.) John recovers from his nearly fatal…

It pains me to misspell ‘color’ in the title of today’s One One Se7en post. Not as much as the comic itself pains me, though…(Louis Wu 21:29:54 UTC)

MTV’s Stephen Totilo wonders if Bungie should let us define the parameters of Halo 3’s metagame – what actions are worth how many points. Me? I think you should get 1000 points every time you get killed. I’d clean up.(Louis Wu 18:19:02 UTC)
