urk has highlighted a really fun-to-watch mongoose dualtage, entitled ‘Roadkill‘ – H3WM WakkaWakka and iCantHaveFun show off their splatter skillz in this fast-moving romp. One thing I learned by watching it – folks really, really, REALLY underestimate single riders on a mongoose. (The Rats Nest tidbit about a minute in is amazing. Just amazing.)(Louis Wu 21:20:51 UTC)

The Halo 3 Fails series released Episode 7 over the weekend… I think my favorite is the ‘Gravity Fails’ clip on Guardian. Funny stuff! Thanks, DeathhawK7 (via Bungie.net).(Louis Wu 17:33:19 UTC)

DigitalPh33r’s Hard Justice series continues with Episode 9 – Bernard is starting to come off as unbelievably naive. Smart… but naive. Also some other weird stuff. Go watch! Thanks to urk, and the Bungie Blog, for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 17:26:47 UTC)

Pete Cooper dropped in to announce that the blog devoted to Operation Chastity (the live-action fan film project that’s building its own Warthog) has been updated with lots of pics and a writeup of the progress to date. Great stuff – give it a read!(Louis Wu 16:46:46 UTC)

Last week, we mentioned that some new Halo Wars screens had been released. You can find these at most gaming sites around the net by now… but always in a screen-sized version, and almost always with a watermark. We don’t believe you should have to be limited by watermarks, or by arbitrarily-resized shots – so we’re provding them to you at the resolution they were released in – 5120×2188, for the most part. Gives you a chance to look over the character artwork pretty well.(Louis Wu 16:40:27 UTC)

Paula (you might remember her cardboard Spark) created a cardboard Master Chief with a rocket launcher for Halloween last year. (Yes, she’s a little late getting the word to us. She knows.) She took him to the local mall – and was kicked out because of the ‘no toy weapons’ rule. Bummer! She also went trick-or-treating in the costume… and then swung by a Florida comicon attended by Steve Downes. She got her helmet signed. Later, she painted a shirt to look like the Chief’s armor, and wore the helmet to school as part of a Homecoming ‘Dress up as your favorite holiday’ event at her school. Swing by Photobucket for a slideshow showing off most of this stuff!(Louis Wu 15:17:48 UTC)
