Very cool. BARBARIC_RAGE found a truly Legendary Edition of Halo 3; it’s just like the one you can buy at the store (has sealed game disc/sealed Essentials discs/original packaging)… except that the helmet is custom-painted and battle-scarred. Really nice paint job, too. The eBay Auction ends in about 3 and a half days… figure out…

Indutiomarus reminded us that Halo3.Junk.ws is now live, and accepting new members. This was one of the most useful (and long-lasting) stats sites for Halo 2, and now they’re back with stats aggregation for Halo 3. Add your gamertag, and keep track of lots of statistics you never knew you cared about!(Louis Wu 15:40:38 UTC)

A quick reminder: voting will end today for the 2007 Guilt O’ Lantern pumpkin carving contest. If you haven’t voted yet, do it today… because at midnight (Eastern Time), voting will be offline! We’ll tabulate the results and post the winners either tomorrow or Wednesday.(Louis Wu 13:30:37 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy has posted an interview with SpaceGhost2K, a guy who creates very cool custom faceplates for Xbox 360s. A bunch of the shots in the interview show off his Halo-related work – but he’s got amazing stuff in a LOT of genres. Go look!(Louis Wu 13:11:12 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue is up early, with a new episode of The Reclaimer – it’s a look at a basic human instinct.(Louis Wu 11:00:34 UTC)

sorahn found a site that allows high-quality vectorization of bitmap images (man, I remember when you had to PAY for programs that did that!), and immediately put it to use vectorizing the popup targets from The Pit. Pretty! (EPS files available, for folks who want to populate their OWN shooting galleries.)(Louis Wu 10:56:56 UTC)

gunluva whipped out a posterboard machine gun turret yesterday – not bad for 30 minutes work!(Louis Wu 10:54:24 UTC)

Big Goalie Dan stopped by to point out that Podtacular 134 is now up – and hour and 22 minutes long, 40 mb large, and full of tales from the foxholes. Go listen!(Louis Wu 10:50:51 UTC)

After a very long hiatus, Mister Froggy is back with a new episode of Halo, Articulated, skewering Marvel Comics for the delays over the Halo comic book. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 10:47:37 UTC)

Sigafoos writes to let us know about The Riot 73. It’s their birthday tomorrow. Go listen – 30 mins, 12 mb.(Louis Wu 20:06:25 UTC)

V10L3N7 JAY stopped by to announce that Section 3 Issue #10 is now online. Looks like the Spartans might be facing some tricky times ahead…(Louis Wu 18:08:48 UTC)

Phoenix42 sent us a note yesterday, pointed out a glitch he’d discovered on Narrows. I’d been meaning to test this out myself – but he’s posted it on our forum now, so someone else can confirm it.(Louis Wu 17:49:59 UTC)

Over at HaloGrid.com, Two Eight Six recreated the Weapon Bold Hoody design (from the Bungie Store) on Construct. Pics can be found in Trindacut’s post on our forum.(Louis Wu 17:47:47 UTC)

Yesterday, the latest episode of Pure Pwnage was released – and Jeremy gets all into Halo 3 (until, of course, he hits a snag). If you’ve never watched this series before, you should start at the beginning – we haven’t mentioned it here because (up to now) it’s focused on PC gaming, but it’s a…

PEZ let us know that there’s an article about coordinated multipoint attacks in Halo 3 over at halowiki.net – go see.(Louis Wu 17:09:23 UTC)

MasterChief2829 noticed another MadTV skit starring their Master Chief – swing by GameTrailers to watch it.(Louis Wu 14:23:24 UTC)

Mitsur was fastest to tell us about a new piece of artwork from popular Deviant reiq, over at DeviantART – Cortana’s looking a little sexier than usual. (Warning – if you poke around the rest of his gallery, be aware ahead of time that much of it is NSFW.)(Louis Wu 14:21:22 UTC)

PALGN has an article on the Game1 2007 Expo in Australia (which just wrapped up) – the very first picture in the piece shows a structure I’d LOVE to have in my backyard. Halo was on display at the show, and Halo 3 tourneys were held all day long. Sounds like a fun time!(Louis Wu…

Canada.com has an article on Video Games Live, and how it’s actually received by the orchestras they play with. Halo gets only a tiny mention, but it’s an interesting article nonetheless.(Louis Wu 14:13:57 UTC)

Z pointed out a new Halo 2 montage called Shellshock – good gameplay, nice editing. Lots of extras. The download package is over 130 mb (though the actual movie, in .mp4 format, is under 90 mb). Go watch.(Louis Wu 14:11:01 UTC)
