I’d rather not explain all the details on the front page, because doing so would require adding a spoiler tag to this post – but The Handmade Hero found an example of AI activity in Halo 3 that isn’t particularly common. Go read his post for details – it’s pretty interesting to see how it all comes together!(Louis Wu 16:55:10 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue let us know that Reclaimer 123 is now online – we’re finally getting some straightforward information.(Louis Wu 16:42:04 UTC)

It’s Friday, so it’s time for another round of Caption Fun at Hawty McBloggy’s – she’s got the pick of the last batch posted, along with a new pic.(Louis Wu 16:37:07 UTC)

Lando Griff1n, from Halo3montage.com, let us know about FROSTBITE, a new montage edited by HAZMATV2 and featuring gameplay by A Yellow Snowball. If you like your montages with tons of effects and fast cuts, you’ll love this. (I found the editing a bit overdone; I had trouble following the action.) It’s eight and a half minutes long, and available either streaming or as an iPod download. Check it out! (Louis Wu 16:36:24 UTC)

The Bungie blog highlighted a new montage from T3h Goose King – Major Leage Goose’n is almost six minutes of cool Mongoose action. Go watch!(Louis Wu 16:29:24 UTC)

Not really Halo news, per se – but it’s pretty intriguing for Bungie watchers; RotaJota pointed out an article in the Kirkland Reporter that suggests that Bungie might be leaving that town. They’re outgrowing their current digs – and apparently the space they need is simply unavailable nearby. The amazing part of all this is that they moved into that building just three years ago – how fast are they expanding, anyway?(Louis Wu 16:28:11 UTC)

Over at GotGame, there’s an article discussing the idea that game trilogies might not be the best thing for fans. It compares games to books and movies, and explains why a story arc spread over three games can cause problems down the road. Halo is used as a prime example. (Louis Wu 16:27:34 UTC)

Nine new pieces were posted to the Fan Fiction section this week – looks like a good batch! Go read.(Louis Wu 16:25:45 UTC)

The ‘Breaking In’ series at Bungie.net continues with Nick Gerrone, a Software Test Engineer. Read the interview and you’ll get a glimpse into the insanity that is Bungie – right down to the glowing blue ice cubes.(Louis Wu 21:03:24 UTC)

Bryan Simon reminded us that tonight, at 7 pm ET (about 3.5 hours from now), his Halo 3 concert will be streaming live. (We first mentioned it last week.) Tune in!(Louis Wu 20:33:50 UTC)
