Custom Spartan (Unusual) on eBay
Hawty McBloggy found a rather intense modded action figure on eBay today; if I explain what makes it intense, I’ll need to put a spoiler tag on this newspost, so I’d rather just tell you to jump over to her blog post. You’ve got a few days to think about this… current bid is at $40.(Louis Wu 19:01:23 UTC)

Diminishing returns
Today’s episode of Another Halo Comic Strip is a little odd – but I think ZZoMBiE13’s motives were pure.(Louis Wu 15:21:30 UTC)

Halo 3: still number 2
So even with a DoubleXP weekend, Halo 3 couldn’t pass Call of Duty 4 on the LIVE activity list. To all those who said CoD4 was just a flash in the pan… what have they to say now? (Thanks, SPARTAN 294.)(Louis Wu 14:31:45 UTC)

Recovery One, Part Two (For All)
Over at Red vs Blue, folks who haven’t seen Recovery One can find Part Two available for watching… and sponsors can watch the director’s commentary. Pretty interesting backstory stuff!(Louis Wu 11:30:23 UTC)

The Social Goes Live
Scotty let us know about The Social, a new website aimed at the social aspects of Halo 3. It’s a place to share content, stats, and more; they’ve even got their own medal chest (a lot like Bungie’s medal chest, except with different medals). Take a look – and if you like what you see, sign up!(Louis Wu 11:25:55 UTC)

Good Game.
It’s Tuesday, so it’s time for a Tied The Leader update. XerxdeeJ doesn’t disappoint – there are a few new bits to be seen. There’s a funny whine about those gold bars that’ll show up on the bottom of your rank icon if you wait too long to level up, there’s an interview with the Grifball League’s new commissioner (TTL’s own QuikThnkr), and there are new (and amazing) shots at El Burritoh’s Haloramics subsite.(Louis Wu 11:18:52 UTC)

Arbiter Helmet – smoothing continues.
Keegan stopped by again to show off the basic smoothing on his Arbiter helmet – looking pretty good! (If you missed ’em, earlier pictures went up a few days ago.)(Louis Wu 11:04:07 UTC)

Baby Got Back
Elnea has posted Halo Action Figure 135, and once again she’s focusing on the physical. (Or maybe Jason’s focusing on the physical. I’m not sure.) Either way, though, any strip that references Buckaroo Banzai can’t be all bad.(Louis Wu 11:01:09 UTC)

The Return of the Sniper
Ultimate Dragon let us know that Sniper vs Noob Documentary #3 has been released – it’s more a vehicle for showing off fun Forge ideas than a serious machinima, but it’s nicely presented. Take a look!(Louis Wu 10:59:02 UTC)

Recon’s in the works.
Yesterday, Bungie posted an in-depth interview with Todd McFarlane, focusing on how his Halo action figures are created. There’s an awful lot of info there… take a look!(Louis Wu 09:46:02 UTC)

The Riot 90
Sigafoos let us know (late) that The Riot 90 is now up – it was broadcast last night, but it took them until this morning to get the recorded version up. 22 minutes, 9 mb, community news, clan challenges, news, and scotch. Go listen!(Louis Wu 15:27:14 UTC)

My list is shorter… but some items are identical.
Sep7imus pointed out a list at McSweeney’s Internet Tendency in which Nick Sustana itemizes a collection of things that will destroy his heterosexual marriage long before gay marriage ever will – and yes, Halo 3 is one of those things. Time for a constitutional ban?(Louis Wu 15:22:49 UTC)

Problems
Sometimes Mondays are comic-heavy, even in this post-Stuntmutt age – today is one of those Mondays. TTL Demag0gue stopped by to apologize for the downtime, promise that it probably won’t happen again soon, and announce that Reclaimer Chapter Three, Part Ten is now up. He’s adjusted the look, and would like some feedback… he’s also brought both Viper squads together for the first time!(Louis Wu 15:14:21 UTC)

The Halo 3 Lagovator
Omega experienced a ‘feature’ of Xbox LIVE recently that he felt was worth sharing – what happens when lag keeps the host from knowing exactly where you are… even when you’re not moving? Now, I know it’s not the first time this has been experienced – it’s probably not even the first time it’s been documented like this. But it was funny, and well-presented, and I liked it. You should watch. (YouTube vid, 4 minutes or so.) (Louis Wu 15:09:46 UTC)

Dressed for Work
Elnea’s posted Episode 134 of Halo Action Figure Theater – and the questions about the plot of the series are becoming subsumed by… well, all I’m sayin’ is maybe McFarlane should have given Cortana a bikini top. That’s all I’m sayin’. (Louis Wu 14:50:08 UTC)

The 7 Deadly Sins of Voice Chat
Computer and Video Games wrote up an article about Mario Kart Wii, discussing why voice chat would be a bad thing for it to have… and most of the negative examples are Halo-related. Ouch! (Louis Wu 14:46:31 UTC)
