Bungie posted a new ‘Tag and Release‘ collection – the word of the week is ‘Cool’. Fun shots!(Louis Wu 22:25:08 UTC)

Grin + Bear It continues its edgy storyline – not my taste, but the readers seem to love it. That’s your only Halo comic update of the day… Update: eep – what am I saying? Halo Action Figure Theater just updated, as well! (I have to say, I have no idea at all what’s going on, but hey… what else is new?)(Louis Wu 22:21:41 UTC)

360Junkies’ Jonathan Heier let us know that you can win a Halo Legends poster – and maybe even a copy of Legends. Their contest starts today, and runs through February 15th at Midnight (PST). Go sign up – free is good!(Louis Wu 22:07:52 UTC)

We missed the afternoon’s video dump on Bungie.net – but never fear, we’re catching up now!

• SpitFIReKyD ‘friends’ decided to mess with him. He gets the better of them – I guess he’s not someone you should mess with.
• Twisted Metal made a solo trickjumping vid. Some pretty cool ones!
• Eamonn made a Halo 3 montage – HD carnage.
• WatchThis!Gaming posted their sixth episode of Top 5 Halo 3 Plays – lots of snipers.
• 360Cinema has a Top 10 Halo 3 Exterminations vid. I’m hearing Daleks. (Exterm on Big Team Battle? That’s insane.)
• There’s a new IGN Top Ten Halo 3 Kills vid – this one focuses on stickies.

Whew! That was a decent weekend queue!(Louis Wu 22:05:09 UTC)

pete_the_duck dropped by with some heart-stopping pics – go look!(Louis Wu 14:49:03 UTC)

NeoGAF member jergrah pointed out a page on Assortmentofgeeks.com showing off some very cool cupcakes created by the crew at Wink cupcakes in Seattle. Mmmm…(Louis Wu 14:48:39 UTC)

TDSpiral also whipped up a gorgeous piece of artwork – this one’s concept art rather than promotional, but it’s just as nice to look at. (He started a thread about it on our forum, as well.) (Louis Wu 14:47:58 UTC)

Halcylon has whipped up a very poster for Halo: Reach – it’s not quite big enough for large-format printing, but it IS quite nice to look at. Thanks to ElusiveEagle519 for bringing it to our attention.(Louis Wu 14:47:08 UTC)

Gah. I missed the IGN for Haiti auction endings yesterday, and they don’t seem to have put up any way to look at already-finished auctions, so it’s unclear how they did. I DO have a link for the Oonsk and Mister Chief painting by Frank O’Connor, though; I can’t tell you who won, but I can say that the final price was $662. Not too shabby at all!(Louis Wu 14:46:08 UTC)

The two Halo 3: ODST screens for Round 9 of our Hide, Seek, Snap contest were successfully reproduced (congrats, Mushroomy and bhwrice – you both have new Sgt Johnson codes!) – and two new screens (from Halo 3 again) are available for Round 10. Still missing a Johnson code for ODST Firefight? Here’s another pair of chances! Go find ’em! (Louis Wu 14:45:08 UTC)
