Pete Cooper stopped in with some very nice shots of the Battle Rifle they’ll be using on the set of Operation Chastity. Love it!(Louis Wu 16:30:43 UTC)

Geez, nearly missed it… but DEEP NNN was a guest on the last 2old2play Community Pulse podcast, bringing honor to the OLD Halo crowd. Go listen!(Louis Wu 16:30:20 UTC)

Couple of fun vids at Hawty McBloggy’s cozy digs today – Halo3Fails posted ‘JK I Suck’, a funny failtage showing footage that most of us have seen far too much of, firsthand… and Mini Waz created a 3D Halo: Reach trailer that has versions for most standard kinds of 3D glasses. (There’s even a 2D version for folks without glasses, but it sort of misses the point…) Go watch!(Louis Wu 13:11:35 UTC)

Hey, remember that Nerf Assault Rifle we mentioned last week? It’s up on eBay now. You’ve got 3 days to bid – current price is $81. Thanks, Civil Protection.(Louis Wu 13:10:54 UTC)

Urban Reflex laughs at your sissy Forge – when HE was building Halo walls, he did the MANLY way… with a sword. And a Gauss turret. There’s an 8 minute video (it’s been shaved down to less than 15% of its original length!) showing how.(Louis Wu 13:07:59 UTC)

Do you love Halo? Are you an artist? Would you like your art to appear in a Halo book? Halo Waypoint is taking submissions for the Halo Evolutions Community Art Contest, and will be until July 15. You have to be a resident of the US or Canada, and you should read the rest of the terms and conditions on the Waypoint page – but otherwise, you should get to drawing! (HBO will be hosting a gallery of entrants at some point in the near future, so you can see what folks are submitting.) Show ’em what you’ve got!(Louis Wu 00:00:05 UTC)
