Sane Intolerant let us know that two new episodes of Halo Toy Box Theater have been posted – the first one makes sense, the second… less so.(Louis Wu 14:22:26 UTC)

XerxdeeJ stopped by with news of updates at Tied the Leader – there’s a field report from a Halo tournament at the University of Michigan, and an exhortation to see what clan play is all about. Go read!(Louis Wu 12:25:27 UTC)

We mentioned the Legendary Map Pack Weekend Play & Win Sweepstakes last week – but the page on Xbox.com has some extra info now; they’ve put up a list of Cavegirls who’ll be playing on Saturday, so you can look for their gamertags – and a list of Xbox Ambassadors who’ll be playing Sunday night, to help you out. It’s not ‘Game with Fame’ so much as ‘Game with Fun’.(Louis Wu 12:17:59 UTC)

gunluva noticed that Inside Halo 3: Episode 12 is now live; Sodagod has some weird interview techniques, but all in all it’s pretty entertaining! 5 and a half minutes, including an interview with Phreak, the top five plays of the week, a machinima roundup, and a decided lack of boobies. (Wait, what?)(Louis Wu 12:09:14 UTC)

What a bizarre website. (No, I didn’t ask the question. It was there when I got there.) And none of those links actually answer the question – I’m posting this because I thought the whole CONCEPT was bizarre.(Louis Wu 12:05:37 UTC)

Meghan Hall let us know that the Ultimate Gamers International will be hosting another Halo 3 tournament at the Bristol Dragway in northern Tennessee, on April 26.

ZZoMBiE13 created a wallpaper version of the last panel of Sunday’s Another Halo Comic Strip – you can grab it here.(Louis Wu 21:34:52 UTC)

Cocopjojo let us know that the next episode of Hindsight, Ascendant Justice’s look at each Halo 3 Campaign level, is online. Tsavo Highway covers the fourth chapter of the saga – pretty thoroughly. You’ll find documentation of quite a lot of dialogue you might have missed, unless you spent some time exploring – and you’ll find descriptions of approaches you might not have considered. There’s also an addendum, with saved films and gameplay tips, including a method for speedrunning the level. All in all, a solid read! Go check it out.(Louis Wu 21:10:56 UTC)

Over at Grifball.com, Gingerlink has posted Week 1 highlights of the UK league – more coming soon, apparently. Go watch!(Louis Wu 21:01:46 UTC)

This might be of interest to some – it certainly was of interest to Urban Reflex. XxPacmaynExX found a spot outside the Blackout map that can be built into anything you want; it has no ‘floor’ (well, no floor texture), but it’s a space that’s roughly 4x the size of Foundry’s open space. If you’re looking to build something big, and Foundry feels too small… swing by and grab his map!(Louis Wu 19:54:53 UTC)

Dennis Powers let us know that Shipwrecked Episode 12 is up – careful where you let your memory take you…(Louis Wu 19:14:45 UTC)

OMG The Bungie webcams are taking pictures in the future! (Thanks, INteRn.)(Louis Wu 14:43:56 UTC)

Syrok created a Halo 3 machinima project for the Northwest High School Film Festival – It’s called ‘Vendetta’, and it follows a pair of soldiers assigned to assassinate a target. When the job goes bad, the surviving soldier looks for revenge. You can watch it on YouTube, or download a higher-res version from FileFront (103 mb).(Louis Wu 14:41:09 UTC)

Raulboy stopped by with a pictures (more in this post) of a repainted McFarlane figure his brother did. If you’re interested, he’s offering (for a fee) to custom-paint one for you, as well. Check the post for details.(Louis Wu 23:06:21 UTC)

Cool Toy Review has new pics of upcoming Gentle Giant figures taken at the New York Comic Con – the Arbiter bust looks amazing.(Louis Wu 22:59:26 UTC)

Podtacular has released part one of their two-part final episode, ever. We really are gonna miss you guys – go listen! 90 minutes, 55 mb. Thanks, Kia.(Louis Wu 21:38:29 UTC)
