And that’s it for this morning; the rest of this day is devoted to father-related activities here. Go celebrate your own.(Louis Wu 14:34:06 UTC)

Mintz pointed out a Halo-related comic at The Day It Snowed which takes a pretty interesting look at one of the questions of the ages. You know… I’m not gonna argue with that penguin’s logic. (If he is, indeed, a penguin.)(Louis Wu 14:30:29 UTC)

Okay… this is just…odd.(Louis Wu 14:29:23 UTC)

Over at Halo3Forum.com (the name’s changed a little, but most other stuff is the same), Z’s put up Jump Tactics Mix 3, a new, pretty amazing collection from a well-known name. Registration (free) required to downlad this monster – 185 mb in zip format.(Louis Wu 14:10:21 UTC)

MaritalBlaze54 Submitted ‘The Creepy Guy at Work’ to the MPRRS – a Dane Cook comedy routine, set to Halo. Clever idea, great filming, funny routine – great overall piece. For the most part, the reviewers loved it. (I did, too.) Grab a copy in WMP9 format (34.5 mb) or QuickTime format (33.5 mb).(Louis Wu 10:43:21…

Frankie’s sick, so this week’s Update is a bit light – but there’s still some good stuff in it. (And KP does a great job of ridiculing some random cheaters for good measure.) Go read – either at Bungie.net, or in our own Weekly Update Archive.(Louis Wu 01:21:37 UTC)

The Creme Savers have released Episode 3 of their WikiRiot podcast – you can read about it at HaloWiki, download it from that same page, or grab it from iTunes.

Captain Spark posted another 30 dialogue snippets today; you can grab them from his site, or you can browse them individually in our Dialogue Databank. This is the first batch that has all the individual players broken out.

I’d find today’s One One Se7en much funnier, if my inbox wasn’t already chock-full of all of those comments. Sometimes you have to laugh, or you’ll cry.

If you have a 360, there’s a new Red vs Blue miniseries beginning on XBL Marketplace – ‘Out of Mind’ apparently tells the story of Tex and Wyoming (and Wyoming’s boss). It’s free, it’s in hi-res (Gus points out that it’s the first hi-def video they’ve created, and he’s pretty happy with how it came…

A little thing… but it made me laugh. Check out Dojorkan’s reworking of the Cairo Station battle.

The Halo Custom Mapping Team has released a promo video, giving you a sneak peek at the content of their upcoming release, ‘Halo CE: CMT Edition’. (This will be available on June 25.)
