RVideo let us know about a thread over at Halo3Forum which has pictures of other date-related goodies to be found on Valhalla. If you liked the Halloween tombstones, go see what they’ve found! Update: looks like they missed some; Grunts R Us found 2 more (Earth Day and Cinco de Mayo). Thanks, oriol.(Louis Wu 19:40:43…

TrueDarkFusion let us know that Forge Hub has expanded dramatically, and now contains a tutorial section along with new high-quality creations. Swing by and see what you can find! (Louis Wu 19:39:08 UTC)

It seems that a bunch of groups are using the recently-filled-out Infection medals to narrow down what’s still missing from the medal chest. Herr Zrbo pointed out this thread at the Bungie.net forums – they’re only missing one. And PEZ told us that halowiki.net is hunting down just a single medal – check the page…

GryphonOsiris found (at TechEBlog) a Halo battle rifle made of Legos – and man, it’s pretty impressive-looking!(Louis Wu 19:33:10 UTC)

1UP has revisited an article from 2005 which discussed the ways in which Halo 2 ‘was broken’. They looked at the charges leveled in that piece against Halo 2, to see whether they were addressed in Halo 3. The upshot? According to 1UP, Bungie fixed most of what was supposedly wrong in 2005 – but…

Kornman00 has written up his tour of Bungie Studios, won in a charity auction back in March, and realized a couple of days ago. It’s a five-page long PDF, downloadable from Halo 2 Vista Forums (follow the first link), and it’s a great read, even if he WAS required to heavily censor himself. Go look!(Louis…

Morpheus managed to record the Storm’s closing cutscene with no musical overlay; we’ll likely do this again ourselves, at some point, just to keep formats consistent, but in the meantime, you can see/hear it with just the input from the scene itself if you follow links in his forum post.(Louis Wu 18:28:10 UTC)

One of those days – sorry for the lack of news. Yesterday a couple of people stopped by our forum with pictures of Halo-related Halloween costumes – Brandon found some pics online at a Predator forum – check the second picture down for a foam master chief and a purple Cortana. And HookMeUpImLocal posted a…

The four cutscenes from the level ‘Halo’ are now online in our Halo 3 Cutscene Library. All that remains are the ending scenes of the game and the credits! (And, of course, the coop variations.) Enjoy. More news coming later today…(Louis Wu 13:53:47 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update went up last night, as usual for a Friday – it contains info about some Bungie Favorites (including the recently-used Infection types that were played on Halloween), an update about the upcoming downloadable content, some advice about network connections, and some goodies they’ve found on the web. Go check it out!…

TalkXbox.com has posted two new strategy guides – one for The Pit, 4v4 Team Slayer, and one for Last Resort, Assault/Territories. They’re looking for feedback on these – they were written by different folks. Let ’em know what you think!(Louis Wu 19:37:07 UTC)

Great crossover today from Stuntmutt – go read One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 18:02:42 UTC)

Interesting – FirstShowing.net has news of a new Peter Jackson/Neill Blomkamp project, called ‘District 9’ – a live-action sci-fi flick. FS suggests that this might be a way to stir up interest in the Halo project again… not a bad theory. Thanks, Anton P. Nym.(Louis Wu 17:10:18 UTC)

Good stuff over at Rampancy.net – there’s a new episode of the Anger, Sadness, and Envy podcast, and there’s a new page for the Weapon Guide – this one covers the Halo 3 Pistol. The podcast covers Crow’s Nest, but spends a lot of time discussing voice actors and acting. (Louis Wu 17:00:40 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue continues his Reclaimer comic – Chapter One Part 3 is now up. (Louis Wu 16:50:34 UTC)

Rota Jota points out a Halo-related strip (maybe the beginning of a series?) at PvP today.(Louis Wu 16:49:08 UTC)

InAmb3rClad let us know (with not inconsiderable scorn) that someone is selling the service of beating two levels of Halo 3 on Legendary – all you have to do is pass along your gamertag and password, and then once he’s finished, you can recover it. Before you jump in on this one, read this timely…

Hawty “eBayWatch Babe” McBloggy found a remote control warthog for sale – you’ve got almost a week, starting bid is $75, and there are no bids yet. Go read about it.(Louis Wu 16:26:04 UTC)
