lAbsolutel whipped up a cute little Halo 3 short entitled ‘I Spy’. Swing by YouTube to watch it. (Louis Wu 15:37:42 UTC)

Spartan 501 created a standalone comic (in the ‘filter a screenshot’ style) telling the story of a lone ODST Helljumper. The text is a little hard to read… but there’s a lot of work here! The entire series is hosted (41 images, over 150 panels) at Photobucket. (Louis Wu 15:36:36 UTC)

The_Eliminator stopped by with some pics of a shirt he made in art class – nice work!(Louis Wu 15:34:08 UTC)

Looks like a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly published a feature called ‘EW 2007 Fansites of the Year’ – and the EW website posted some supplementary entries. And we’re one of ’em. Nice! Thanks, xupaosso. (Louis Wu 15:30:28 UTC)

While we were offline, Elnea was busy – she posted both Episode 105 and Episode 106 of Halo Action Figure Theater in the last couple of days… and the tragedy of Steve has taken a turn for the bizarre. At least he’s not dead…(Louis Wu 15:20:48 UTC)

This older clip (from early November) showed up in my Google Alerts yesterday – very nice example of how cool Saved Films can be. True karmic justice!(Louis Wu 15:17:11 UTC)

Leader of Blind let us know that Abyss Studios has released RHC Apocalypse – you can watch it on their site, download it from Mythica, or stream it from YouTube. It’s five minutes of tiny clips (plus two minutes of credits) – many are silly, but they’re all short, and some are pretty funny. (The…

M E R R Y   C H R I S T M A S !As usual, we’re taking Christmas off – the final day of Stuntmutt’s Advent Calendar will be up on the One One Se7en page at noon, EST, but beyond that, we’re spending the day with our families.We’ll be back updating on Wednesday, the…

Grunts R Us has put together a complete guide to the Halo 3 Meta Game – the point-scoring option for Campaign play. Swing by for point values (and multipliers) of every enemy and activity in the game! There’s even advice about which skulls to use for getting to those meta achievements. Check it out! Thanks,…

Heh – this is pretty cool; Evlmidget25 built a Foundry map in which he and a plasma grenade start at the same point, take entirely different paths, and end at the same point. It’s a pretty complicated suicide. Check it out!(Louis Wu 12:10:49 UTC)

Planet Halo’s mrtitan has written up a short review of the Heroic Map Pack – looks like it wasn’t a particularly good buy for him. (He liked Standoff, found Rat’s Nest fair, and hated Foundry.) Your mileage may vary.(Louis Wu 12:00:07 UTC)

We got some more pics from Xavier, MLC’s friend, showing off the chest plate of MLC’s armor. The new pics start here – or you could just visit the armor page for an overview of what’s already up. More to come soon!(Louis Wu 11:57:12 UTC)

Elnea’s posted Episode 104 of her Halo Action Figure Theater – I’m feeling a little bad for Lois at this point. For the zombie guy, though… not so much. Take a look!(Louis Wu 11:44:12 UTC)

Second Foundation has posted The Riot 79 – it’s a pre-Christmas show, and shorter than usual (23 minutes, 9 mb) because they still need to do their shopping. Still plenty of goodness, though – go listen! They’ve made some (permanent) changes to their RSS feed – but they don’t have any way to automatically update…

Today’s One One Se7en Advent offering (yes, this is the second post of the day) is somewhat wooden…(Louis Wu 17:45:10 UTC)

Natesuter22 pointed out that JibJab’s holiday eCard, “In 2007”, includes Halo 3 among the high points of the year. Right up there with Scorsese’s Oscar. Nice!(Louis Wu 16:21:00 UTC)

If you had a really talented friend who was into Halo… you might get Christmas presents like these: a custom-painted controller (check out the brushwork!) and a custom-made Halo action figure, with one of the oddest Weapons of Destruction, ever. Elnea created these for her friend (and ours), OboeCrazy. Are you jealous yet?(Louis Wu 16:14:31…

appSafari.com has a small web app you can use to check your Halo 3 Stats from your iPhone. Take a look! (You can use it from any browser, actually, but it’s formatted nicely to fit an iPhone screen.)(Louis Wu 15:56:04 UTC)

IGN’s posted it’s Best of 2007 – Halo took Best Online Multiplayer Game and Most Innovative Design, and Bungie’s separation from Microsoft took Biggest Surprise. These are all Xbox360 awards – they haven’t announced the Overall awards yet (and won’t, until January 11). Thanks, Grey Wolf. (Louis Wu 15:38:47 UTC)

Narcogen found a story at Kotaku about a really, REALLY ugly Halo-branded shoe… and speculates that absurd licensing deals might be the rationale behind Microsoft’s allowing Bungie to become independent. After all, if Bungie were still fully in control of the Halo IP, would they ever allow the Halo name to be attached to this…
