It’s Wednesday, so TTL Demag0gue has posted another episode of Reclaimer – in Chapter Two, Part Seven, things aren’t looking good for Viper’s Zeta Squad.(Louis Wu 17:53:10 UTC)

This is very, very cool. Wax Eyes, over at Bungie.net, used Forge to create a different kind of artwork. Takes a bit to see it – but once it falls into place, it’s clear. (There are hints for seeing it in Raulboy’s thread on our forum.) Read the stuff that Wax Eyes posted at Flickr,…

pete_the_duck has gotten into the puzzle-making game; he’s released Baffleball 01, a solo game you can play on Construct. Visit his post, follow the links, and see how you do!(Louis Wu 17:48:13 UTC)

Leader of Blind sent us links to a movie he and AxS Kamikaze made for school, about the fall of the Berlin Wall. It’s pretty silly, but has a few fun moments. You can watch it at YouTube, or download it from Mythica.(Louis Wu 17:40:39 UTC)

Undergroundbob pointed out a rant at Devarr – it’s called ‘Halo 3, Ballad of a Disaster’, and it’s funny (if a bit crude). Give it a read!(Louis Wu 17:40:22 UTC)

Matt Frank let us know that there’s a tournament being hosted by MBGaming, in Wichita, Kansas, from December 28-30. Full details, including fees and prizes, can be found at this forum topic on their forum.(Louis Wu 17:40:04 UTC)

I’d meant to post this yesterday, but forgot – Charley117 was the first to point out that each of the new Xbox Originals released yesterday on Xbox Live also had a Picture Pack and Theme released with them; these are free for Gold members now, and will be free for Silver members next week. Some…

I was out earlier, when today’s One One Se7en Advent offering went live – but after reading it, maybe I should have STAYED out.(Louis Wu 20:12:16 UTC)

Our friend Marcelo Vega, from the Brazilian site www.xboxtoday.com.br, lets us know that the Dashboard update available today does NOT make Xbox Originals (including Halo: Combat Evolved) available to countries outside the US. I can’t find any official info about this; if we get clarification, we’ll certainly post it. Update: we’ve received confirmation that Originals…

XerxdeeJ stopped by with a Tied the Leader Tuesday Update – lessee, we’ve got a rant about ‘fair and balanced’ Xbox Live coverage on the news (with some very good points in it – wouldn’t you just LOVE a mute button for reality?), a real estate ad for a property you really shouldn’t consider buying,…

SPU7N1K posted the beginnings of some ODST armor about a week ago; I didn’t front-page it, because… well, at the time, it seemed like he’d gotten as far as a tube for his arm. (That’s not fair – it was a LITTLE more advanced than that – but that’s what it seemed like at the…

Another Halo Comic Strip looks at how some skulls can get between coop partners when playing Halo 3. Poor Arbiter!(Louis Wu 13:10:04 UTC)

Last week, Pixellated noticed that the Will It Blend? introduction to the Guitar Hero III guitar blending video contained a clip of a Halo 3 disc being blended… according to Will It Blog? (the blog of the Blendtec website), the full Halo 3 blending video will be released today. We’ll update this newspost when it…

Heh – I’m guessing there’ll be a lot of Christmas trees this year which have a Legendary helmet on top, in place of a star or an angel. We’ve already had word of a pair of them – S Assassin sent us pics of his tree, and Ross Mills found one on Digg. (Louis Wu…

VelocityTino sent word of this blog entry at ALBOTAS – it details a costume he made which totally ROCKS. It’s an Elite made of duct tape and cardboard, and in it, he stands 8’6″ (that’s almost 2.6 meters to our non-US friends). It even reverses the knees! Check it out. (Louis Wu 12:52:28 UTC)

Xbox Canada is going to be hosting the Master Chief’s Celebrity Faceplate Auction, in which faceplates (and more) signed by Canadian (and international) celebrities will be auctioned off to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network. In addition to 20 faceplates, there will be an Ibanez Xiphos Halo 3 guitar, and a Guitar Hero II…

Major Silva let us know that the UNSCDF is hosting “Halo: Chronicles”, a comic version of the Halo 3 campaign. The first four episodes are up now; they get you through the Arrival cutscene, plus the very start of Sierra 117. Dialogue is Bungie’s, screenshots (and composition) are done by BlueNinja. Check it out! (We…

This is pretty amazing – at Urban Art Central, there’s a collection of Halo 3-related papercraft, including downloadable templates so that you can make your own. (It’s 9.1 mb; given that this was already mentioned on Xbox360Fanboy back in October, the chances are good that bandwidth will hold out… but just in case, we’re mirroring…

The Discovery Channel is running a miniseries entitled ‘Rise of the Video Game’ – each show premieres on Wednesday nights. Last week’s show contained a short clip from Bungie’s Jaime Griesemer, discussing Halo 3. If you check your local listings, you should find rebroadcast times for that episode (for me, it’s showing next on Discovery…

Maximum Fear dropped by to announce a monthly community newsletter… but he needs your help. They’re going to need fan content – artwork, fiction, whatever – from fans to flesh this project out; if you want to participate, he’s left an email address in the forum post. Check it out!(Louis Wu 12:19:17 UTC)
