john.cb let us know that Episode 3 of Spriggs is up, both at their website, and on YouTube. Willy thinks he’s going to kill Spriggs… but Willy is wrong. Poor Willy! (Louis Wu 12:31:26 UTC)

Last week’s Humpday writeup mentioned that Bungie had played The Frag Dolls – it doesn’t, any more, but it did. And now we get the Frag Dolls Matchup in writing; this took place 10 days ago, but it’s still a win for Bungie. Having been fragged by at least one of these Dolls, I have…

BlitzSnake let us know that he’d posted an episode of a machinima program called ‘Neurons’ last summer – he’s still working on Episode 2, and looking back, he feels Episode 1 is somewhat ‘cheesy’ (his word) compared to what 2 will look like… but it’s still pretty well done; check it out on YouTube!(Louis Wu…

Captain Spark dropped off another 35 dialogue snippets, this time all from Marines, many, many funny ones. A whole bunch of Christopher Walken imitations, plus some other laugh-out-loud lines. Check ’em in our Dialogue Databank, or download ’em en masse from Spark’s site.!(Louis Wu 22:05:17 UTC)

Today’s episode of Another Halo Comic Strip started life as a joke about the ongoing writers strike, but thanks to my highfalutin influence, it’s degraded into sexual humor. Stick with me, ZZoMBiE13, you can’t go wrong.(Louis Wu 19:05:21 UTC)

According to mrtitan at Planet Halo, Game Informer published their Top 50 Games of 2007 in their January 08 issue – Halo 3 was on the list, but didn’t win Game of the Year. Bungie, as a studio, came in at #7. The article is online, as well – but only for subscribers.(Louis Wu 18:19:20…

Usul scanned an article from the November issue of Playboy, called ‘Geniuses at Play’ – it contains interviews with a number of game developers (including Bungie, represented by Frank O’Connor). Take a look!(Louis Wu 18:14:17 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy has a list of the Top Ten Break-Up Lines for Master Chief – I gotta say, it’s a good thing that guy wears armor, because some of these would get him slapped. (There are more user-submitted ones in the comments, too.)(Louis Wu 18:08:36 UTC)

Rampancy.net was surprised that Halo 3 took 6th place in Gamespy’s Xbox 360 Games of the Year list. Do you think they’re right – that Halo 2 should have placed higher in ITS year of release than Halo or Halo 3 did in THEIR years?(Louis Wu 17:48:31 UTC)

Jase Dakota points out that DVICE (the SciFi tech site) is hosting a Gadget of the Year sweepstakes… and the Halo 3 Xbox 360 is in the running. Check it out!(Louis Wu 17:45:37 UTC)

You’ve got about 32 hours left to submit your wicked-cool screenshot to our Seven on the Seven(teen)th contest (though, I must tell you, if you describe it as ‘wicked-cool’, we will not only disqualify it, we will hunt you down and kill you) – don’t you want some DLC lovin’?(Louis Wu 21:08:19 UTC)

PEZ let us know that halowiki is trying to flesh out their Halo 3 Weapon Time to Kill Chart- there are probably enough people who’ve actually collected this info at this point that the rest of the table can be filled out. If you can help, swing by!(Louis Wu 20:52:09 UTC)

Rockslider found some more Hornet fun in The Covenant canyons – check Bad Cyborg for details.(Louis Wu 20:07:04 UTC)

AOL Canada put up a photo montage of the Hottest Products of 2007 – guess which video game made the list? (Well, besides Second Life…) Thanks, Draganos.(Louis Wu 19:28:12 UTC)

I’m really not doing very well at keeping up with the One One Se7en Advent offerings; yesterday’s made me laugh, and today’s made me groan. I suppose that’s a decent batting average.(Louis Wu 17:08:15 UTC)
