Back in December, we mentioned a t-shirt design contest over at Arm the Flag – AnTi PRO just wrote to remind you that there’s less than a week left before that contest closes. If you want a chance at the prizes on offer (a 3-month LIVE card, a 1600 MS Point card, and a copy of the final shirt), get your design in before the 31st!(Louis Wu 12:53:08 UTC)

The Catfish stopped in to let us know that 2501 Episode 7 is online. New characters.(Louis Wu 12:16:22 UTC)

Mr Fiddle has enjoyed the ‘Fail’ videos that have made the rounds recently – and he’s new to Halo 3, so he decided to provide a couple of instances of his own for you. Check ’em out in this post. They’re quite short.(Louis Wu 12:14:59 UTC)

Mid7night went back to work on his X-Plane version of In Amber Clad – you can see a video from this forum post. I think that would give me a little bit of a start if it flew over me… (There’s a bridge walkthrough in this post, as well.)(Louis Wu 12:13:47 UTC)

TeamXbox has a Halo Wars media feast – screenshots, gameplay movies, and a pair of cutscenes. (One of them actually contains the transition from cutscene to gameplay at the end… and for folks who were disappointed by the color forcings in Halo Wars multiplayer… you’re going to be disappointed that those same forcings seem to exist in Campaign.) Thanks to Planet Halo for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 11:55:38 UTC)

Spriggs is back… after a pretty long break (if you don’t count a short a few weeks ago). I think this one makes more sense if you eat those mushrooms the guy with the ponytail sold you. (And someone needs to tell me if those Pinks are German, or Indian, or French – the accents seem to morph a bit.) Thanks, Molten Slowa. (Louis Wu 11:46:11 UTC)

We passed over yesterday’s Tag and Release post at Bungie.net – mostly because it contained a pun so bad we thought we were doing the world a favor by not spreading it. But the screenshots, this time found with a “master Chief’ tag, are pretty cool – so cover your eyes and visit. (Okay, that’s not going to work. But don’t read the text.) (Louis Wu 11:41:01 UTC)

urk noted an older Betrayal Montage, put together by the Daisy Squad almost a year ago. Some of these are definitely accidents… but others are definitely not. Good thing they’re all friends!(Louis Wu 11:38:58 UTC)

MLGPro.com has posted the 14th ‘MLG/ESPN Top Ten’ – this time taking all of its clips from the Dallas and Las Vegas tournament dates. Some really sick sniping! Heads-up kudos to the Bungie Blog.(Louis Wu 11:38:00 UTC)

The Halo wedding that’s been in the news a bit recently (since it took place on the 17th, just a week ago) has been summarized, with video, at MTV.com. Check it out! (Love the plasma grenade favors!) (Louis Wu 11:31:00 UTC)
