Noble Seven at SDCC
Looks like you’ll be able to buy a special McFarlane figure at San Diego Comic-Con – Noble Seven. (Who is Noble Seven? Guess we have to wait to find out!) If you’re not going to the show, never fear, these should be available at toysrus.com at some point. Thanks, AvatarofChaos.(Louis Wu 12:21:00 UTC)

Phurion Fluxy 2 – A Halo 3 Dualtage
Phurion Fluxy 2 is the sequel to a highly-regarded montage released a couple of years ago. Music is a bit rough to listen to, but editing and effects are top-notch. Length is hefty at 10 minutes… but hey, they’re only turning out one every couple of years! Thanks to RVideo for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 02:48:21 UTC)

Select Your Reach DLC
A couple of days ago, FyreWulff put together a matrix that explained what DLC armor you could expect to get your hands on, based on when, where, and which version of Reach you were buying. Some people had trouble reading it… so onebitrocket decided to go a step further and create a very snazzy jQuery-based selector. Answer a few questions, and you’ll get visual confirmation of what’s available to you!(Louis Wu 23:26:12 UTC)

RT: Portal 2… Hard
I’m posting today’s comic from a hotel room in London, while playing a World Cup drinking game with Gavin and Griffon. I may not have a Portal degree, but I’ve got a PHD in drunk.

Missed this yesterday, but hey – better late than never. TheClockworkRat pointed out a second Halo-related panel at Comic-Con later this month (we mentioned the Bungie panel last week) – 343 Industries and a bunch of friends will be discussing the Halo Universe on Sunday. Nice!(Louis Wu 13:20:37 UTC)

TSL Interviews OK Go
As mentioned in the recent Podtacular episode with Chris Burke, This Spartan Life’s interview with OK Go went live on Halo Waypoint yesterday. It’s a fantastic discussion of the creative process, and how that’s changing with social networking… but the highlight of the video, for me at least, was a spectacular merging of a cool remix of OK Go’s ‘This Too Shall Pass’ with an incredible Rube-Goldberg map created by our very own pete_the_duck. If you’ve got a LIVE Gold account, go visit Waypoint – this one isn’t to be missed. If you want to discuss this, Hedgemony started a thread on our forum. (His title, ‘Pete the duck rulz!’ is a direct quote from the video.)(Louis Wu 15:33:17 UTC)
