2good4u2 whipped up a custom Halo 3 poster a while ago, and printed it up for his wall. The pics are lousy (phonecam) – but the concept rocks.(Louis Wu 23:02:12 UTC)

Halo Legends: Abridged
Back from Internetless World – let’s see if I can catch up on some of the stuff that showed up recently. (mnemesis did a FANTASTIC job of keeping the front page from being empty – but jumping in to run HBO periodically is like sipping from a firehose. Sometimes, you just need to come up for air.) First thing I noticed – cbwilliams17 hacked together an abridged version of The Babysitter (from Halo Legends) – should make you smile.(Louis Wu 22:59:56 UTC)

Some people would question releasing a DVD when the movie is still in the theater, but are you going to tell Cameron that? I dare you. He’ll buy your house, street, town, state, country, and possibly planet – then kick you the fuck off.

More of his contributions will be in the second half of this episode, which looks ahead to the Multiplayer Beta of Halo Reach.
This is the MP3 version of this podcast.
