mrsmiley let us know about an interview he did with Gruntsbane, the artist behind the Halo Babies comics, back during his PAX visit this summer. It’s not really Halo-related, but Gruntsbane was a big part of the Halo community for a long time, and this interview gives you a chance to catch up on what he’s been doing since he left!(Louis Wu 12:59:09 UTC)

RandomSauce let us know about Halo Community Live, an event that will take place on December 30, at 7 pm ET. Machinima, interviews, and more – details can be found in this image on the Halo3Mythbusters website. Pretty impressive list of guests! Mark it on your calendar.(Louis Wu 12:57:14 UTC)

Halo Wars’ Stephen Rippy discussed the process of music creation for the game in a recent Developer Diary – Interesting stuff. Give it a read!(Louis Wu 12:48:17 UTC)

CinemaBlend got their hands on some new Halo Wars wallpaper – and then spend all their text space dissing the Halo games themselves. The desktops are great, though, so grab ’em and ignore the nastiness. (Louis Wu 12:47:49 UTC)

Thanks to backflip10019 for noticing that the MLG/ESPN Top Ten #13 is live over at MLGPro.com. Some truly amazing gameplay in there… I mean, really. You should watch it.(Louis Wu 12:43:48 UTC)

Yesterday was Montage Monday on B.net, apparently – two they covered that I missed were SniPinAtoR’s Immortal, and Bagel’s Merry Christmas Montage (in HD, even – thanks, Avateur). Great gameplay! (Louis Wu 12:43:17 UTC)

The ‘Tag and Release’ series on B.net continues – with a look at some great Flamethrower pics. Go find your own!(Louis Wu 12:41:50 UTC)

Halcylon put together a stickytage – a montage composed entirely of stickies. It’s available in HD. Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 18:36:56 UTC)

Daniel “Tyrant” Morris let us know that the next Monthly Mythic Challenge is being kicked off a little early – it starts on December 26, and finishes on January 1. You have those seven days to complete Halo 3 on Mythic difficulty – if you’re the first to do so, you’ll win 4000 MS points. Remember, you can use his Halo 3 Mythic Walkthrough to help you out. Changes this time around: folks who’ve already beaten Halo 3 on Mythic difficulty can compete, as long as they also acquire the Mythic Medals along the way (check the Mythic Ranks page for classifications of Mythic conquerers, and the bottom of the challenge page for which medals need to be finished for each class.) There are even rules for Multi-Mythic – folks completing Mythic with friends. Get to preparing – the January challenge begins in just 11 days! (Louis Wu 18:06:20 UTC)

Episode 7 of DigitalPh33r’s Hard Justice series was released a few days ago – thanks to urk for the heads-up. High-tech surveillance doesn’t always mean high quality surveillance.(Louis Wu 18:05:38 UTC)

Dennis Powers let us know that Shipwrecked 46 is now live – there’s even worse stuff in that valley than the marines thought. (Louis Wu 18:05:20 UTC)
