I’m a little nervous front-paging this, because we’re talking about four and a half gigs worth of videos… but you guys are gonna be gentle, right? Cody Miller stopped by to let us know that High Speed Halo has posted four-player Coop Speedruns from six of Halo 3’s 9 levels (all on Legendary). You can watch them in small, medium, or large formats – but be aware that all the runs are being served from the same (bungie.org) server, so if your download’s really slow, maybe give it a bit and try again later.(Louis Wu 17:14:35 UTC)

Heh – Conscars, over at Modacity, did a bit of editing to come up with a fun 12-second clip – swing by to check it out. The engineers seal this one. Thanks, rob oplawar.(Louis Wu 16:32:49 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue let us know that Reclaimer #51 has been released – Resplendent Legacy clears up some sticky points for our hero. Also, there are fan-created wallpapers for download – go see!(Louis Wu 12:23:12 UTC)

The Jasman Plasma Pistol laser toy has been out since last fall – but until now, it’s been $80 or so per unit, a pretty steep price to pay. According to this new post on The Xbox Collector, though, Jasman is releasing a pair of pistols for $40 – either it’s a huge discount, or these are lower quality, or smaller size, or SOMETHING. We’ll keep an eye on this.(Louis Wu 12:17:22 UTC)

PFG let us know that he’s listed two unreleased Halo figures on eBay – the first is a prototype White Spartan with funky mismatched emblems, the second is a Battle Damaged Halo 3 Master Chief created by Joyride before they backed out of the Halo 3 license – there are very few of these out there. You’ve got four days to make up your mind on these two – check ’em out!(Louis Wu 11:53:05 UTC)

Bungie’s hiring again – this time, they’re looking for a User Experience Designer. The listing on the Jobs page is… extensive. Go see what they want!(Louis Wu 21:23:14 UTC)

Today’s Guest Edition of Another Halo Comic Strip comes from Lafinman – does the UNSC need to work on its hardware?(Louis Wu 20:28:25 UTC)

Game Guru, in India, has listed their 6 ‘Chumpions’ of 2008 – games that have no chance of living up to the hype. Halo Wars is on their list, because they don’t believe a Real Time Strategy game will work on a console. Hmm…(Louis Wu 20:28:14 UTC)

2P START! has another Halo-related comic (it was posted in April, but Don just brought it to our attention today) – pretty clever!(Louis Wu 17:07:49 UTC)

Terminator182 let us know that his HBO RSS News Widget has gotten a few minor tweaks (version number is now 2.22); looks like fonts have been cleaned up. Check it out!(Louis Wu 17:03:55 UTC)

Sigafoos pointed us to The Riot 102 – 21 minutes, 9 mb, full of challenges, videos, and – mudkips? WTF…(Louis Wu 12:25:44 UTC)

XerxdeeJ stopped by with word of a Tied the Leader update – no writeup on the LAN festivities yet (hey, they spent a couple of weeks partying, it might take a few days to recap the fun!), but there are two new articles: a new panel discussion about the parts of Halo that might be able to use a little work (some great, and some not so great, suggestions in there!), and a call to save Big Team Battle, with a challenge to all clans looking for a piece of TTL. Go read!(Louis Wu 12:22:01 UTC)
