EGM’s gonna get their minds blown
GhaleonEB noticed a small item on the latest EGM Live podcast – sounds like the crew is headed up to Kirkland to see some Halo 3 singleplayer this week. Yes, you can be jealous now. (Louis Wu 10:29:21 UTC)

Murphy’s Law
Mister Froggy let us know that Halo, Articulated #48 is now up – and I must say, it’s a little disturbing. (Looks like Gravemind noticed it before I got a chance to post this.)(Louis Wu 10:20:18 UTC)

Master Replicas Weapons – coming soon
Interesting – X1Zero noticed a pair of scaled weapon replicas up for preorder right now at GameStop – a BR55 Battle Rifle, and a Covenant Carbine, both being attributed to Master Replicas, and both due in early September. (No pictures yet.) Back in February, we mentioned a press release stating that Master Replicas was getting into the game – but it wasn’t known what they’d be making. I guess we know the start of the line…(Louis Wu 23:48:39 UTC)

Halo 3 action figures coming from McFarlane Toys
It appears that Joyride Studios is no longer set to produce more Halo action figure goodness for the release of Halo 3, because McFarlane Toys has announced that they will be doing just that. The line-up includes characters from the game such as Master Chief (check out the attached prototype photo), Cortana, Brutes, Jackals and Grunts, as well as vehicles like Warthogs, Ghosts and the anticipated Brute Chopper. For collectors and gamers alike, this is good news, with McFarlane’s history of quality and highly-detailed craftsmanship. The bad news? These won’t hit stores until Spring 2008.

Free Shadowrun with H2V
Wow. Halo 2 Vista came out a few weeks ago – so did Shadowrun. Both are Vista-only, both debuted for $49.99 each. Now you can buy the pair at Circuit City – for $39.99. (The deal is actually labeled as ‘Free Shadowrun with the purchase of Halo 2’.) That was fast… (KP gets credit for noticing this first yesterday.)(Louis Wu 11:53:22 UTC)

Where’s my Gravemind Underoos?
20th Century Fox has signed a deal to become the primary licensor for Halo, according to this story in Variety – this doesn’t mean the Halo movie is back on the table, but it DOES mean that you’ll be seeing a “broad array of products, from books to apparel to collectible merchandise, in conjunction with the release of “Halo 3″ in September.” For how long? Elie Dekel, executive VP for domestic licensing, says “he’s confident his division can continue to sell licensed products in the next few years until a fourth “Halo” game comes out.” Whee.(Louis Wu 11:36:28 UTC)

GamingTV.org 1 year Anniversary
The only thing I am sad about is how it took the domain expiring for us to realize this. We are back, however. Sorry for the inconvenience.
It barely feels like a year ago me, Twilkey, Hitman, Haphazardly, and several other imporant staff members started this website. It sucks it had to be found because the domain expired, but whatever. It’s back.
I’d like to thank THX for its support, and for some of the members stopping by our corner of the intarwebs.
Some interesting stats:
292 members.
Over 2 million hits.
Around 2.5 terabytes of data transferred the year we have been open.It feels somewhat strange, but oh well. Time flies, I guess. Thanks to all who use our services and bandwidth. Hopefully the years to come will bring more great changes and more bandwidth usage.

ARG Discussion Continues Apace
The game begun last week with the introduction of Adjutant Reflex is in full swing; our ARG forum is buzzing. (There are now almost 500 people signed up there – pretty amazing, for a site that didn’t exist 4 days ago). Again, we’d like to point out a decent timeline of events so far (it’s missing stuff that’s happened over the weekend, but it can certainly bring you up to speed on the most important stuff) – and oriol asked us to point out a recap of events so far over at Grunts”R”Us. Read up, figure out what’s going on, and jump in!

The Rumor Mill Commences
wii60 has a collection of rumors about E3 ‘O7, purportedly from an E3 Floor Manager – among the tidbits was this: “Bungie working on new title/series not related to anything in the Halo/Marathon Universe.” I guess we’ll see when E3 rolls around. Thanks, Red Breast.(Louis Wu 17:58:16 UTC)
