Digikid let us know that Spriggs Episode 6 is up for grabs. I gotta say… it seems like it’s getting pretty silly. Maybe I’m just having an off day, though. Watch it for yourself.(Louis Wu 17:09:46 UTC)

IGN has posted a comparison of Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3, but leaves the decision about which is a better game up to you. (God forbid you should decide you like both…)(Louis Wu 16:40:56 UTC)

Fires7orm pointed out an Achievement generator created by GruntsRUs – but you need to sign in to use it. (If you’d rather not, he listed a few other ones on the web that require no login.)(Louis Wu 16:31:43 UTC)

InnerRayg found a couple of collections of photos of the McFarlane action figures, being previewed in the UK. (He found a Toyfair gallery, and a Toysdaily gallery.) Check ’em out!(Louis Wu 16:30:13 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy was faced with some unexpected snow this past week, so she did what any true Halo fan would do – she built a Spartan Snowman. It comes complete with plasma grenade, spike grenade, and even a katana. (Yes, that snowman got all the achievements.) (Louis Wu 15:44:03 UTC)

Podtacular 147 is up – they’ll help you get through Floodgate. Go listen!(Louis Wu 15:41:34 UTC)

Wow. Here are some guys with ambitious goals. Grant Harrison is the vice president for the integrated consumer experience at Humana, and it’s his job to bring health information media to the masses. He knows it’s boring, and complicated. His goal? He wants health care providers to make health information and activities “entertaining.””It should be…

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…

Luke McKay posted a new Halo sketch yesterday on his Red vs Blue profile… we’ve added it to his Gallery here. Life after the game, I guess!(Louis Wu 13:33:20 UTC)

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)
