It’s the second week of Forge Hub’s domination of Bungie Favorites – and if you swing by Bungie.net you can read about Matty’s ‘Aperture’ map. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 15:18:51 UTC)

It’s Wednesday, so it’s time for another installment of ODS Steve over at Hawty McBloggy’s – Episode 6 shows that Steve has… powers.(Louis Wu 15:16:32 UTC)

urk brought news of a dualtage put together by a husband/wife team – he’s right, the intro is excessive, but the gameplay itself is pretty fun to watch. So go watch, already!(Louis Wu 15:14:26 UTC)

A couple of weeks ago, we mentioned early pics of the Halo Deluxe Hunter boxed set from McFarlane – Paul Mattson let us know that there’s now an advance review of the figures over at Figures.com. Great read!(Louis Wu 15:09:53 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue let us know that Reclaimer 125 is now online – the Reclaimer is sent on yet another mission.(Louis Wu 15:09:00 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy found a cool magnet you can buy for $10… or make yourself. Now THAT’s a nice use of ironable beads!(Louis Wu 22:26:18 UTC)

RotaJota noticed an article on the OXM website called ‘Life After Halo‘, posted last week – but he points out that the date suggests it’s older than that. He’s right – it was first published in the December issue, and pointed out by LoneRanger 2.5 on our forum about 2 months ago. And even THEN, Rosco-128 said it had been released in Australia in June. No matter when it was written or published, it’s a decent look at the studio after the launch of Halo 3 and the split with Microsoft. Give it a read!(Louis Wu 20:50:57 UTC)

Bungie’s ‘Average Joe’ series continues, this time with urk talking to Tyrant, the man behind the Mythic Walkthroughs. Go give it a read to see what Tyrant does outside of Halo… and how he got interested in what he DOES do.(Louis Wu 19:20:28 UTC)

It’s Tuesday, so it’s time for another Tied the Leader update – and this week, it’s a video put together by TTL OboeCrazy, showing off what happens when you teabag a Gunslinger. Great music. Thanks, deeJ.(Louis Wu 13:23:35 UTC)

It’s been a really long time since she’s worked on Halo art, but Pinkuh recently finished a piece with Riddick and the Master Chief; we’ve added it to her gallery here. If you’d like to read her thoughts as she was working on it, she’s put them into a journal over on the RvB website. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 13:18:39 UTC)

Z sent word of Alcom’s Halo 2 Vista Montage on Halo3Forum.com. Resolution rocks. It’s really cool to see the Halo 2 levels again, especially so clearly. The editing… well, it’s fast. The movie is just under 8 minutes long, and weighs in at a bit over 300 mb. Go watch!(Louis Wu 13:11:50 UTC)
