Elnea’s posted Episode 113 of her Halo Action Figure Theater – sometimes, you have to wonder about the honor of your average Spartan. On the plus side, it looks like O’Hara might actually be rescued.(Louis Wu 12:17:45 UTC)

Mariachi turned up a video called ‘Martin Van Buren plays Halo’ – wins points for creative use of absurdity. Swing by YouTube to watch.(Louis Wu 12:15:33 UTC)

Raptree stopped by with links to a trailer and Part 1 of a machinima project entitled ‘Montage Man’. (It has nothing to do with montages.) Pretty nice work! Go watch. (Louis Wu 23:30:37 UTC)

Whoa – Major League Gaming has signed a deal with ESPN – it’s the big leagues, baby! Thanks, BuckHijo.(Louis Wu 22:20:35 UTC)

Wow, very nice. thebruce found a full overview of the IRIS campaign, as set up by AKQA, the agency tasked by Microsoft with its creation. Very slick – a fantastic way to get a handle on how this campaign went, if you missed it last summer!(Louis Wu 21:50:42 UTC)

Over on the Epic Games forum, Zubren posted screenshots (and a download link) for a new mod he’s created for Unreal Tournament 3 – Halo’s Wizard has been ported to the PS3. Nice!(Louis Wu 21:39:08 UTC)

Last Friday, Bungie mentioned that they’d be unlocking the Commando shoulders for all LIVE users – trust Stuntmutt to find a tasteless way to riff on this in today’s One One Se7en. Honestly…(Louis Wu 20:48:01 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy has put together the Definitive Guide to Recognizing if Bunige Hates You. I think… I think I’m in trouble.(Louis Wu 14:25:55 UTC)

Pretty cool – The Progn0sticator, aka Lethal Casua1ty, pointed out a thread on Bungie.net which contains a link to a vid he created showing off a pretty entertaining suicide. His teammate tossed a frag grenade just as he fired his Spartan Laser – and the laser blast bounced off the flying grenade and killed him.…

Miguel Chavez ran across an interview with the Director of Exterior Design of the Hummer HX concept (we mentioned the car a few days ago) – Hummer says they’ve heard the comparisons, but any resemblance to the Halo Warthog is completely coincidental. Funny to hear it asked, though!(Louis Wu 14:15:46 UTC)

Okay, this one’s really sort of odd. We got email from Boolean – he’d been flying around in Google Earth, and discovered a location that, with a Road overlay, looks remarkably (jpeg, 70k) like Adjutant Reflex’s Chrysopteron avatar on Bungie.net. (Remember the IRIS ARG?) If you want to explore the space yourself, grab the .kmz…

Bunch of movies announced recently on our forum (or via email) – Lordstemplar1 pointed out a teaser for Prophecy Episode 3, Harabek came by with his entry into the Broken Iris contest at HaloGrid, and MR from Running Gun Productions let us know that Spriggs Episode 5 (“Hammer Time!”) is now available for download from…

Elnea continues her astounding postage rate for Halo Action Figure Theater (there was a large gap before Episode 100, my guess is she was building the next 77 episodes during that downtime). Episode 112 brings hope back to Mudville (well, maybe). Check it out!(Louis Wu 19:05:48 UTC)

Sigafoos is down with a cold, but the Second Foundation crew still managed to put together Episode 82 of The Riot – 25 minutes, 10 mb, news, community events, and more. Today is the last day of voting for their Community Awards – you’ve got about 6 hours, as of this writing. There are a…

The last time we’d heard from VelocityTino, he was telling us about some elite armor he’d put together. He’s back – this time with a piece of machinima. He’s put the song ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life’, the Spamalot version, to use with Halo footage. He did all the animation himself, which…

Xavier contacted us with a bunch of armor-related news from the 405th – let’s see what we’ve got.BishopX is creating an assault rifle and a helmet on his way to a full set of armor – he’s also got a website to document the progress. Professional grade!DMASTER has finished up his frag grenade and is…

Almost late – but not quite. ZZoMBiE13’s got a Another Halo Comic Strip for you. I hope it doesn’t give you nightmares.(Louis Wu 23:08:41 UTC)

The Halo Wars website has been updated a little – and some new concept art has been added. I like it! Thanks to Mike Smith for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 18:26:02 UTC)
