The Catfish dropped in to announce 2501 Episode 12 – things are getting weird.(Louis Wu 15:54:02 UTC)

InnerRayg found a link on Action-Figure.com with a mini-review and some photos of the upcoming Halo Wars MEGA Bloks. Our forum denizens aren’t terribly impressed, it seems (except for maybe the Hornet and the Sparrowhawk)… but see for yourself! (Louis Wu 15:53:28 UTC)

Juesoni continues his live broadcasts of David segments – the fourth and final part of the machinima will be premiering at 12 noon PST (3 pm EST, 8 pm GMT/UTC). Check his forum post for links.(Louis Wu 15:52:39 UTC)

MTV’s Multiplayer blog has a summary of their 5 Most Notorious Multiplayer Gaming Glitches. Halo 2’s BXR glitch came in at Number 1. Thanks, Decommissioner. (Louis Wu 15:51:12 UTC)

DHalo recorded the three songs found inside the Halo Wars demo – if you’d like them, he’s packaged them up and put them on FileFront. (Louis Wu 15:50:47 UTC)

Kral sent word that he’d edited a new montage for his friend TheAvenger645 – swing by YouTube to watch it in HD. (Louis Wu 15:50:13 UTC)

Bungie posted its weekly update, as usual, last night (and we made it available in our Weekly Update Archive, as usual, last night) – but it didn’t manage to make the front page until now. Just because we’re tardy about letting you know, don’t think you shouldn’t read it – it’s full of useful tidbits. It does a lot of clarifying of information made available over the past week – busting rumors before they’ve really gotten a chance to get rolling, as it were. Most of it involves Sandbox, the big reveal of last week – so go check it out! (For what it’s worth, urk’s coy hint about the release date of the Mythic Maps as DLC can be deciphered using our Halo Story Timeline.)(Louis Wu 15:44:56 UTC)

There are new Halo Wars Demo impressions today – from Expansion Pack (very short) and Tumeroks (a little longer). Check ’em out.(Louis Wu 15:44:27 UTC)

Pete Cooper stopped by with a piece of concept art for Operation: Chastity, the Warthog-building fan movie project he’s been working on. Wow, is that gorgeous!(Louis Wu 20:52:45 UTC)

The latest group montage from Halo 3 in the Workplace has been highlighted on the Bungie Blog – swing by for fun gameplay plus music from Magnum P.I., CHiPs, Knight Rider, and Hawaii Five-O. (Yes, I’m that old. And for what it’s worth… Hawaii Five-O ran until 1979; it had a final year, in 1980, but was called McGarrett. I’m not sure that qualifies as “80s”.)(Louis Wu 20:03:56 UTC)
