If you’ve got a 360, jump on to Marketplace right now. You can download a 104 mb trailer for Halo3 there. (To the best of my knowledge, this is not available outside of Xbox Live’s Marketplace.) Thanks to many – looks like Dan Chosich was first.

Lo, the Hype Machine Cometh. Kotaku’s got a story about a Halo 3 shirt sighting – no guarantee that the person WEARING the shirt is not a fan who made it himself, but hey – it is what it is. Only a couple more hours until the MS press conference; it’s likely we’ll know SOMETHING…

GT Juggler has just finished up his first year at WPI, and he and some friends have released a playable map of the campus, so that EVERYONE can enjoy fragging each other at his school. The download is 24.5 mb for HaloCE, or 25.7 mb for Xbox (you’ll need a modded Xbox to play this…

The Valley of the Forerunners Part 11, the Conclusion of season 3, has been posted over at the Halo CE Chronicles website. A heroic sacrifice and some philosophical musings bring closure to this epic tale. Dennis Powers has posted a list of links to all parts, for folks who were waiting for the series to…

Halo 3 Boards has an interview with our own distinguished Louis Wu, the “Godfather of HBO” (also known as the “Legal Guardian, Babysitter, and Annoyingly Wiser Cousin of HBO”). Anyway, check it out, and take a look around there while you’re at it!

A year ago, Archie Gates started creating Needler songs over at Gamespot. (Unfortunately, his profile is now private, so I can’t link you there.) He’s since created 4 (search our news) – and just recently, imSuck, of HollywoodHalo, submitted ‘Beautiful Needler’, a music video based on the first Needler song, to the MPRRS. The reviewers…

A couple of days ago, Ross Mills pointed out that there was an advertisement for the Halo Graphic Novel in a Marvel product he was looking at. It’s a pretty nice ad, with some heretofore unseen pics in it – so we’re putting up a copy (189K). I have trouble believing Marvel would have a…

Thanks to all who preordered the first official HBO shirt, and entered our E3 raffles – I wanted to let you all know that the shirt is still available, but it’s no longer at pre-order pricing. (It’s now $14.89, instead of $11.29, and at the moment, only mediums and larges are available.) That doesn’t mean…

A number of minor Halo mentions popped up in the news today (probably because it’s E3 week); I didn’t think any of them were worth news posts on their own, but there are enough of them to warrant a compilation. Dean Takahashi talks about Xbox 360 development at 1Up, with a few choice Halo 2…

Today’s One One Se7en is much funnier if you’ve ever played online with MereCatfish. Or maybe it’s not.

Ajay let us know about another MySpace contact box he’d created (we mentioned one a couple of weeks ago) – you can see it, and grab code for it, on his forum.

EchoZuluFilms has released Alonewinder, a HaloCE map designed primarily for the machinimas ALONE and Major Tom Diaries. It’s a 13 mb download. (Sounds like it’s sidewinder with new vehicles and weapons.) One of the new weapons is the Boomstick; it started life as a simple shotgun mod, but now is a totally separate weapon. Thanks,…

Just a reminder: your last chance to buy an HBO T (and register for the poster art raffle and/or the DeanFest raffle) is midnight tonight, central time; that’s a bit over 14 hours from now. It’s 1 am on Tuesday EST, 10 pm PST, and 6am Tuesday UTC. After that time, the raffles will be…

Cool. Saber-Scorpion, a long-time LEGO Halo fanatic (check our news for some older posts) has put up a nice summary page of LEGO-based Halo creations around the web. Thanks, Jono.

This is one of the stranger bits I’ve seen… but Elnea has created a Halo-themed Waltz – As Twilight Falls can be found on her .Mac space (with an explanation and lyrics), or via direct download from us (3.1 mb, MP3 format) If we bring down the .Mac page, we’ll host a mirror of it,…

Wow. rockslider has discovered a new, untapped location for a megabattle in Halo – the dustbowl in Truth and Reconciliation (just before the gravity lift area). Go read up on it at the Bad Cyborg site!

This Spartan Life has a new video blog up – it looks at the subject of tiered internet service, and why it might be bad for you, me, and everyone except the large corporations with the cash to pay for premium service. Funny stuff about a serious topic! (10.8 mb, QuickTime format.)

Over at PALGN (an Australian gaming site), there’s a column called ‘The Wrap’ which takes a quick look at gaming stories from around the web. The one up now looks at, among other things, the news that MLG Pro has inked a deal to put video gaming on cable television. The author thinks it’s a…

Interesting. An artist known as GT Gundam over at DeviantART has been turning out great Halo artwork for years – we recently added a bunch of missing images to our Miscellaneous Art section, with his permission. Today, Juan Anselm points out that he’s gone and created a new DA account, and has begun to populate…

Over at MLG, there’s an interview with Gh057ayame – he’s been nominated for the Scion Player of the Year award. Go read about what that means. Thanks, 3Suns.
