Over at Halopedia, CommanderTony sat down with Joe Staten to talk about the upcoming Halo 3: ODST. He’s coy (as always)… but there certainly are a few new details. (There’s a female baddie, for one thing…) Go give it a read! Thanks, UNSC_Trooper.(Louis Wu 21:42:24 UTC)

CaLL Me ZeNy stopped in to mention The Shocktage, a montage from Hemdall, who is French. Gameplay is by GuN Sh0K, and the content is Halo 2. This is old skool… I’d almost forgotten that Battle Rifle. Nice editing!(Louis Wu 21:27:06 UTC)

Bungie.net’s Average Joe series takes a look at Zagwire, a B.net denizen. Go see what he enjoys when it comes to Halo!(Louis Wu 18:44:13 UTC)

urk pointed out a montage from HelplesBunny, featuring a lot of MLG gameplay… you could call this an Extermination Montage, I think.(Louis Wu 17:03:07 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy ran across a pretty cool faceplate/schwag combo on eBay – have you ever thought about an active camo faceplate for your 360? It ain’t cheap… but it’s pretty unique!(Louis Wu 13:06:50 UTC)

Nexus is Mental grabbed some of Phurion’s practice clips, and tried his hand at fancy slow-mo editing. The end result is pretty nice! Check out Classic.(Louis Wu 13:05:36 UTC)

terminator182 stopped by with news of updates to the HBO News Widget he’s built for the Mac OSX Dashboard. It’s a convenient way to get your fix of our news!(Louis Wu 12:58:42 UTC)

A crowd of Rooster Teeth fans got together for a second round of multiplayer fun recently – and you can watch the fun from a couple of different sources, thanks to the Bungie Blog. Lots of cool custom Mythic fun!(Louis Wu 12:58:17 UTC)

Congratulations to McCronin29, who was picked by Domino Theory as the winner in the Needs Moar Legendary contest – he gets a nice LIVE code for buying those Legendary maps! Thanks, as always, to Domino for the amazing generosity that keeps these contests funded!(Louis Wu 19:09:33 UTC)

Just a quick update: The deadline for submissions to the Mythic Movie contest passed last night, and after cleaning up the uploads folder, we have several dozen valid submissions. Our judges are hard at work watching these as we speak – if all goes well, we’ll have winners announced in Friday’s Bungie Weekly Update. Stay tuned!(Louis Wu 18:57:35 UTC)

Gamer720 created an interesting obstacle course he calls ‘Saw Extremity’; the video on YouTube shows off what you have to do to complete it (you should read the description for full details). Expect to die a lot. Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 18:48:17 UTC)
