This Spartan Life has posted Module Two of their Fifth Episode – it’s an interview with the makers of ‘Raiders of The Lost Ark – Adaptation’, a shot-by-shot remake of the original, begun when they were 12. Go find it on the Episodes page!(Louis Wu 02:32:55 UTC)

Our paper spartan queen, Nomi, was contacted by G4 TV; they want to feature her work on Game Heads. She said sure, and even made them a special spartan. Isn’t she great?(Louis Wu 02:26:54 UTC)

1Up posted 33 new screenshots today – I tried to find out if they were part of the media kit distributed this week to journalists (since those are embargoed until September 23)… but had no success. So I’m posting them. There are a couple of dozen new campaign shots, and a dozen new multiplayer shots……

On Monday, PraetoriaGuard released Trinity, Episode One, because they said they would. It was sort of a mess, though, and they asked me not to front-page it, because they wanted to clean it up. So I didn’t. And they did. It’s worth the wait – the cleaned-up version has better audio, better synching, better… stuff.…

Stuntmutt submitted a One One Se7en that was related to the recently-released ‘Museum’ ad – I couldn’t wait until Friday to post it, so you get an extra one this week.(Louis Wu 01:20:48 UTC)

1Up’s 3 Weeks of Halo comes to an end, with Halo 3: The Final Word (“Ten Things We Love about Halo 3… and Five Things We Don’t”), as well as a Retronauts blog covering Marathon Infinity (they wrote about Marathon 2 yesterday – chewpathingy was first to let us know – but I passed on…

The Covenant Weapons Data Sheets published last week at Bungie.net all have a line at the bottom that worked some of our forumgoers into tizzies. Stuntmutt, never one to let a tizzy pass unnoticed, comments in today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 20:02:45 UTC)

Wow. The press for the ‘Museum’ ad is simply amazing. Joystiq says “we’re not sure if we’ve ever been so moved by a Halo commercial”. Ars Technica says it’s “stunning”. Be A Design Group says it goes way beyond marketing to gamers – It’s “emotionally bigger, and almost too big at that” than Halo. I’d…

Okay, I’m starting to worry a little about Warbow – his latest Calvin and Halo seems to be a little too ‘out there’ to be purely fictional.(Louis Wu 19:28:28 UTC)

Regicid3 works at Target. He noticed a street date warning about Halo 3 last night – which surprised him, because he didn’t think Target was going to be carrying the Legendary Edition. (The Target website lists only the two less expensive editions.) What surprised him more was the price on that warning. (He snapped a…

Avateur pointed out that some new content from the Tokyo Game Show has been added to TeamXbox’s Halo 3 Screenshots gallery. The actual screens aren’t new, but except for fan shots, this is the first view of some new Halo ActionClix characters. (If I told you what they were, I’d have to label this post…

GameTrailers has put up a new GT Countdown: ‘Top Five Reasons We Can’t Wait to Play Halo 3’. Our forumgoers had a few things to say about some of the wording – but I can’t really argue with the list. Thanks, chewpathingy.(Louis Wu 18:53:57 UTC)

RVideo has read some of these ‘prepare for Halo 3’ lists, and doesn’t think people really understand what NEEDS to be done before September 25. He’s jumped into the breach with his Real world guide to preparing for Halo3.(Louis Wu 18:45:30 UTC)

MsValentine has been in our news a number of times, for her Cortana outfit – she recently redid it for display at San Diego’s ComicCon this year. It was still based on Halo’s Cortana, though – and we all know that Cortana has changed a bit since then. She just released an image of her…

Okay, now that the forum is down, let’s clear out the existing news there. chewpathingy noticed a new Exclusive vid at Comcast’s Game Invasion – filmed during the Projekt Revolution tour, it shows some head-to-head Halo 2 action between PR guys (Linkin Park and friends) and the Warped tour. Go watch!(Louis Wu 17:51:58 UTC)

Yesterday, we reported on a pair of auctions on eBay Australia, purportedly for release copies of Halo 3. These were subsequently pulled by eBay – but not before being confirmed as real by Bungie. Tyson Green posted a note on NeoGAF (thanks, Fadefury) and Marty O’Donnell posted a note on our own forum, both saying…

Bungie posted their latest podcast yesterday – an hour long, 66.6 mb (OMG!). Paul Bertone discusses Campaign Mission Design and stuff. Go listen!(Louis Wu 14:17:51 UTC)

Heh – Live-360 put up an article a few days ago discussing the Halo 3 Headset; apparently, it’s rated M for Mature at Gamestop or EB Games. Want a cool headset? You better be over 17!(Louis Wu 14:14:05 UTC)

Dave Bergland let us know that the next segment of the Halo 3 Albania Project is now online; you can watch it on their website, or stream it from YouTube. This one discusses how they plan to pull this off. With awesome graphics.(Louis Wu 13:58:10 UTC)

Xbox.com posted a press release detailing everything that’s going on during Launch Week – go check it out, there’s some great stuff in there!(Louis Wu 13:40:56 UTC)
