Sigafoos pointed out The Riot 60, punched up by Halo Mountain Dew Game Fuel and lack of sleep. 15 mb, 37 minutes. Zombie Elephants.(Louis Wu 22:19:52 UTC)

Rockslider returns to the Rockslide Megabattle, focusing on the area where two dropships visit. Interesting reading!(Louis Wu 20:41:47 UTC)

Last month, Horus released pictures of a Grunt Plushie he’d created, along with rough templates for making your own. Now, he’s back with finished templates – or at least half of them. You can find templates for Arms and Legs, Torso, and Backpack over at DeviantART. The rest are coming ‘soon-ish’. Check ’em out!(Louis Wu 20:38:06 UTC)

bndud stopped by to point out a Cops and Robbers Short – it’s a video starring the Robbers Unite team, and it looks at iPhones (and other social phenomena). Available in a bunch of formats and sizes. Check out his post!(Louis Wu 20:31:48 UTC)

CinemaBlend has put up a screenshot comparison between Halo 3 and Haze. (Louis Wu 15:36:05 UTC)

q XBLRadio has noticed an odd pricing factoid about Best Buy – all of the Halo 3 related items are 3 dollars more than Microsoft’s MSRP. A Halo 3 dollar tax?(Louis Wu 15:34:32 UTC)

Bluestrike2 sent us a note to let us know that Mute Radio has relaunched as part of Gaming Lessons. You can read the full announcement on the site – along with Bluestrike2’s thoughts on the move. (Gaming Lessons has also relaunched with a new design.)(Louis Wu 15:32:13 UTC)

Omegga let us know that he’s created a ‘sightjacker’ for HaloPC – use it, and you can see what another player in your game sees. He suggests using it to detect aimbotters. Visit Goemitar for more details and a download.(Louis Wu 15:32:30 UTC)

Captain Spark took it upon himself to clean up our Halo 2 Dialogue Databank; he characterized all of the generic dialogue snippets (‘marines’, ‘marines_female’, ‘elites’, ‘grunts’, etc) into their more specific categories, based on Marty’s character breakdown. There are still a few snippets in the general categories, but the vast majority are now where they should be. Whew! Great job, Spark!(Louis Wu 13:03:33 UTC)

ActiveCamoElite noticed a mention of an upcoming Game Fuel TV ad, looking like it might feature footage from the Halo 3 Announcement trailer, on the Game Fuel website. Keep your eyes peeled!(Louis Wu 12:09:12 UTC)

SEspider let us know that he’s done an interview with Rahll, an artist with several pieces already in our Miscellaneous Art section, over at 360style.net. Rahll discusses his work and motivations, and shows off his newest Halo-related creation, Aliens vs Halo (which is pretty amazing, by the way). Check it out!(Louis Wu 11:12:28 UTC)

Aeros pointed out a very cool sculpt of a grunt, created by hapakid88, over at the Mjolnir Armor forum. Adorable! (Check out the whole thread; there are some neat pictures of potential Halo lawn gnomes to be had…)(Louis Wu 01:51:31 UTC)

Mister Froggy let us know that Halo, Articulated #64 is up; I think the lesson is “Don’t fall in love with MC.”(Louis Wu 01:47:07 UTC)

If there wasn’t enough info in tonight’s Weekly Update, swing by Gamespot; there’s a Q&A with Frankie that clarifies a few things, and discusses more. I liked the last question (and answer) a lot. Thanks, Sir Topham Hat.(Louis Wu 01:44:47 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update is online – and man, it’s a tasty one. There are seven panels from the upcoming first Halo: Uprising comic (man, does it look nice), and there are a whole bunch of questions taken off our forum last night, answered to a greater or lesser degree. Some of the things that jumped out at me: music is “99% finished” and in the game, the Arbiter will NOT be invulnerable when he’s playing with you, and Grunts reproduce frantically. Go read more! (If you read it in our Weekly Update Archive, the facing pages are already nicely stitched together for you, so that when you click on the smaller version, you’ll get more than half of the larger version.)(Louis Wu 00:57:43 UTC)

Wow. Very interesting article about new flame-related weapons in Halo 3 – the flamethrower is IN, and so is the Firebomb! Go read at IGN. Thanks, TheSneak. (The 3D view is great!)(Louis Wu 23:20:06 UTC)

The next Bungie Podcast is available at Bungie.net, and iTunes (soon, I guess) – 72 mb of Bungie goodness. Go listen!(Louis Wu 23:14:10 UTC)
