• BacKtoBasiKs created ‘Bocket Jumping’ – using bubble shields and rockets to make jumps you can’t make with just one or the other. Fun stuff!
• Honor Guard has created Halolympics Episode 2 – testing yourself (and being laughed at) is becoming an institution!
• Ghoster released a ‘minitage’ called “Create” – it’s three and a half minutes long, though… so maybe not so mini.

Well, I waited until afternoon in the hopes of getting some extra entries… but it seems today’s comic roundup is going to be pretty light. Tied the O7AH has some new episodes up (thanks, Cozmo23)… and ODS Steve #36 (Upgrades) is now live (thanks, Hawty). Better late than never!(Louis Wu 17:40:43 UTC)

Interesting News Items has the scoop on NPC dialogue in ODST – go see what you’re in for! (Clearly, though, some of the information is suspect; for example, they list the name of the next game as “Halo 4: Tijuana R&R“, when everyone knows that it’s really “Halo 4: Dark Planetoid Rising“. So keep on your toes.)(Louis Wu 15:54:38 UTC)

MsValentine is the first person I know about who’s received one of Weta’s Cortana figures – and she created a pretty nice photostream to document it. Swing by and take a look!(Louis Wu 12:58:19 UTC)

Thanks again to Kibbles, who pointed out (also over at NeoGAF) Acme Archives Direct, a company creating gliclee reproductions of Halo artwork – there are some killer images in there!(Louis Wu 12:42:04 UTC)

Looks like Halo Destiny (a French site) interviewed Lars Bakken in Paris last week about ODST – the text is in French, but the video is in English (and Kibbles, who pointed this out on NeoGAF, kindly linked to a Google translation for those who feel like struggling through it). Selected tidbits: it’s possible that the final three multiplayer maps will be released as DLC at some point in the future, but the only way to get them right away is to buy ODST… and Reach has been in development since at least the launch of Halo 3.

Dratt, on our forum, and TheGhost, via email, were nearly simultaneous about letting our community know about a new release of the Custom Mapping Team’s SPV2 mod. You can check out the public beta by downloading the first map, The Pillar of Autumn, at Modacity. (You will, of course, need Halo: Custom Edition, a free add-on to HaloPC.) Dratt also pointed out a mirror at Halomaps, and a few screenshots he cherry-picked from XFire. (Louis Wu 12:39:51 UTC)

Jon CJG is back with Hard Justice Season 2: Episode 7 – Bernard and Eddie flee to Canada. They got some funny rules up there… but maybe the Canadian bacon has insulating properties, or something… Thanks to urk for the heads-up on the Bungie Blog.(Louis Wu 12:39:03 UTC)
