Dustbunny27 points out a new pair of cel-shaded pieces he’s created over at DeviantART – nice work!(Louis Wu 02:20:54 UTC)

Tons of new content up over at MLGPro.com, just in time for Nationals – 3Suns has nicely laid it all out in this forum post. Stuff, stuff, and more stuff!(Louis Wu 02:19:23 UTC)

Pothole Studios has released a remake of their first ever video – you can grab Totally Random Act 2 [Directors Cut] on their website. Owned by a soda machine! Two and a half minutes long, available in both WMP9 and DivX formats. Check it out!(Louis Wu 22:51:01 UTC)

Dennis Powers writes to say that Static, Episode 4 is now up – it’s called ‘Wooden Ships’. Alex speculates about his environs, and begins to tire of the chase. Crosby, Stills, and Nash accompany. As usual, available in WMP9, QuickTime, and streaming Flash.(Louis Wu 20:56:14 UTC)

Heh – if you’re interested in a super-high-resolution version of the campaign screenshot released yesterday (uncompressed TIFF format, 5120×2880, 28 mb), you can find one over at HaloPlanet. Nice!(Louis Wu 16:17:41 UTC)

Interesting. Pro-G is reporting that the Halo 3 teaser ad that will air on December 4 here in the US will air on the Britain’s Channel 4 on Friday, December 15 – and will be visible on xbox.com then, too. This hasn’t been confirmed by other sources yet, but it certainly makes sense. Thanks, MereCatfish.(Louis…

BitMaP points out another Halo-related strip of Strouperman, his webcomic. You know… I think I know those guys.(Louis Wu 15:55:00 UTC)

Heh – I should check ALL mail before posting. Looks like 1Up decided to go ahead and release all the new assets they have, since they’re already out there on the web. (There’s been no announcement from Bungie yet about this content, but I’m guessing it’ll come today.) Oddly, though the news post says they’ve…

We were contacted by Oliver, of Halo Base – turns out the word they got from GameCity about the screens yesterday was that GameCity was allowed to release them; they wouldn’t have linked to them (or mirrored them) otherwise. They’ve taken DOWN their mirrors, now, because they’ve learned from a Microsoft PR representative that the…

EGM’s Wednesday Halo 3 content continues, with a great article that looks back over some of the stuff said about Halo and Halo 2 before release, and how those things actually turned out. One more piece remains for the day from them – but it’s not online yet. In the meantime, check this one out!(Louis…

Wow… seems like every time there’s a big coordinated content release, and European gaming sites are in on it, stuff gets leaked before the official release date. It’s out there now – so you might as well check it out. Be aware, though, that this material was distributed to LOTS of gaming sites, all at…

More new Halo content today – this time, though, it’s Halo Wars, not Halo 3. Swing by the official website for a new screen (in multiple sizes) of a UNSC Shortsword, a pretty nice looking Flying Wing.(Louis Wu 20:06:38 UTC)

Last week, we pointed out a remake of the trailer for ‘300’, the upcoming Frank Miller movie about ancient Sparta. Today, we got email from Berzerker dude, of Treeskunk Productions – he’s made another one. Like bikeman704, he used existing cutscene footage, and like bikeman704, it’s really nicely put together. I’m intrigued by how few…

EGM said the Halo 3 needler is way better than the Halo 2 needler. Stuntmutt chimes in on today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 17:06:08 UTC)

IceWeasel pitted an ODST against a Heretic Elite, in a stop-motion tribute to a great movie. It’s one of my favorite scenes of all time, and he did a great job with it. Go watch!(Louis Wu 16:37:46 UTC)

RVideo whipped up a short screentest showing what Halo might look like with a female marine as the main character. He warns that he didn’t spend a lot of time putting this together – but I found it to be fascinating. Great angles! (Do him a favor – use our download links, save his bandwidth.)(Louis…

The REALLY big news today is embodied in an article called ‘Happy Halo Day’ over at Bungie.net. In fact, there are 4 separate stories, all bundled into one jaw-dropping article. There’s a CG Halo 3 ad (with new music) that will air on Monday Night Football on December 4 (and be available on Marketplace, and…

3Suns collected up all the new content available at MLGPro.com for us – to start with, there’s a sneak peek at Episode 2 of the MLG Pro Circuit, airing this Saturday at 10 am. (A lot of pros are actually going to be at the Nationals in Las Vegas when this one goes live, so…

There is an enormous amount of new content at Bungie.net this morning – I’m afraid, in fact, that there’s so much some of it is going to get lost. Let’s go in order, I guess. First up is an article posted last night – it’s called ‘Anniversary Panel’, and it’s a compilation of 5 mini-interviews…

Heh – when I saw the title of the latest Halo Heads, I thought it would be Gears of War-related. Nope… it’s a shot at the PS3 availability… and the hubris of certain Sony execs. Funny stuff… unless you’re in line right now.(Louis Wu 19:41:44 UTC)
