Hawty “I’ll get back on top of the eBay pile, you know I will” McBloggy found a guy selling a custom Spartan action figure on eBay. What makes this one unique? Well, it’s a model of “‘MASTER CHIEF’ from the hit PlayStation 3 game ‘HALO'” (the seller’s words, not Hawty’s). Beyond that silliness, though, it’s…

The Cyberathlete Professional League has released details about their million-dollar Halo 3 tournament coming up in December – check out the payout schedule.
