While ZZoMBiE13 is on a break, Another Halo Comic Strip will have some guest strips running. The first one is up now – Thanks to Keith Jones for a fantastic start. (Comments are, and will be, disabled for guest strips, by design; if you want to discuss these, you can use our forum.)(Louis Wu 17:03:23 UTC)

Cody Gordon has been working on a lot of panoramic Halo 3 shots – swing by his forum post, or his Flickr stream, for many, many examples!(Louis Wu 13:37:07 UTC)

ab1 noticed an article on the Hitwise blog (aimed at internet marketing) discussing trends of game-related searches, specifically looking at release dates and cheat searches. Halo 3 is used as a prime example. Looks like a lot of folks actually play the game first, and don’t start looking for cheats for at least a week…(Louis Wu 13:31:39 UTC)

Last night, I noticed a post over at Xbox360Fanboy pointing out a Halo 3 easter egg I’d never heard of before. There’s a Canadian Loonie buried in the ice on Snowbound! I’ve been playing this map since September (well, really, since last May)… and I never noticed! I did a quick search over at High Impact Halo, and it seems treefrog2 pointed this out a week ago – but still… an egg this obvious, and it’s just coming out NOW? I wonder how many other Halo 3 eggs still remain out there, undiscovered?(Louis Wu 13:26:40 UTC)

Raulboy noticed a Halo-centric artist at DeviantART – SangheiliArtist does a lot of cool stuff! Take a look.(Louis Wu 13:22:02 UTC)

Luke Smith posted one last Frankie Photoshop on Bungie.net – and it’s an amazing piece of work. Looks like Don was first on our forum with the news. (Louis Wu 00:29:24 UTC)

Ack – this came in early this morning, and I buried it. Hawty McBloggy pointed out a custom faceplate built for snipers – I won’t be buying this, but that’s only because I use snipers as a beat-down weapon, primarily. Check it out!(Louis Wu 19:59:53 UTC)

FireDragon04 reports that Consequences Episode 4 is now up for viewing – 11 and a half minutes continuing the storyline of the team looking for info about the Hyperion. Not everything is as it seems… many versions available, grab the one that works best for you.(Louis Wu 19:42:10 UTC)

ZZoMBiE13 pointed out that the newest Larry The Marine is up – it’s actually pretty funny!(Louis Wu 19:34:22 UTC)

Over at High Impact Halo, Jumps United have posted Impulse, a new jumping vid. Tech Artist stopped by to announce this on our forum. High res is 130 mb, but it’s also available as a low-res downloadable, and soon in streaming options. You can also grab a film clip. Most of these aren’t matchmaking jumps – but the coordination of equipment and objects is pretty cool!(Louis Wu 19:25:55 UTC)

Dennis Powers pointed out that Shipwrecked 21 is up – he’s really tying the last season of the Halo CE Chronicles into the comic strip (things make more sense if you’ve watched it). (Louis Wu 19:06:06 UTC)

vociferous, over at the Ascendant Justice blog, has written up a history of the Sangheili (and, incidentally, a summary of the backstory of the Halo game trilogy) – it’s an interesting read. Go give it a look – but be sure to put aside some time. It’s not short. Thanks to mendicantbias00 for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 15:51:55 UTC)

Sigafoos let us know that The Riot 100 has been posted – 33 minutes, 13 mb of two distracted podcast hosts delivering a little bit of Halo news while playing Halo 3. (Not Grifball, though.) Congrats on reaching 100, guys!(Louis Wu 14:04:55 UTC)

A totally random blog post showed up in my Google Alerts mailbox this morning – someone has matched up McFarlane’s Halo 3 Master Chief with Toybiz’s Movie Hulk. I’m not sure I buy the outcome…(Louis Wu 14:02:32 UTC)

Psychophan7 noticed an article at Kotaku discussing a claim at GamerCenterOnline.net that they’d put up 3 new shots from Halo Wars. Two of the three shots are quite old (the Sparrowhawk shot was first released in March 2007, and the ridgeline with Banshees comes from the original Halo Wars cinematic trailer released in September 2006)… which makes me a bit suspicious about the third shot. I can’t find a source for it… but it looks ‘old’ to me. If we get confirmation, either that this is a new shot or that this is old, we’ll update this news post.(Louis Wu 13:59:40 UTC)

BlueNinna posted another few panoramas – Covenant action, baby!(Louis Wu 13:28:44 UTC)
