Today’s One One Se7en is a groanworthy addition to the collection.(Louis Wu 20:54:46 UTC)

Free Halo 3 Dashboard Theme… in Stores
Wow, very cool. There’s a new article at Xbox.com which discusses a gorgeous Halo 3 theme based on the Emotion pic – it’s free, but it’s only available at Xbox 360 kiosks in your nearest game store. Go get it! (Bring a memory card.) Thanks to Xbox 360 Fanboy for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 20:54:11 UTC)

Complications
TTL Demag0gue has posted Chapter Two, Part Two of his Reclaimer comic – he seems to have shifted completely away from the filtered look of his earlier artwork; this one is straight screenshots. Viper’s about to find something… big. (Louis Wu 16:54:45 UTC)

IGN reviews Halo Uprising #2
IGN felt that this issue has little depth, but pretty pictures. “Flawed but enjoyable” is how they put it. Thanks, AfroRyan.(Louis Wu 16:50:42 UTC)

Serious Halo
Rick pointed out a pretty silly Flash animation at Newgrounds – Master Chief dances as he lists the things that interest him. Rick apologized.(Louis Wu 16:29:47 UTC)

Best Buy Deal Up North
Xbox Circle noticed that this week’s Best Buy circular in Canada offers you a free copy of Lost Planet if you buy the Halo 3 Legendary Edition for $99. (Remember – this is a Canadian deal; in the US, the Legendary Edition is $129, and there’s no free game.)(Louis Wu 16:25:58 UTC)

Behind The Music (And Voices)

by
Couple of great behind-the-scenes articles pointed out over at HBO: Next Generation interviewed Marty “The Elder” O’Donnell about music in games in general and polishing the Halo series in specific, and Sci Fi Tech put up Faces of Halo that shows us some of the actors and actresses who lent their voice talents to the Halo series and points out other things you might have seen (and heard) them in. Thanks HBO.

The Faces of Halo
Over at Sci Fi Tech, they’ve taken a look at the faces behind the voice talent in Halo 3. Some of them even worked those visual assets into the game!(Louis Wu 02:21:58 UTC)

Killer Weapons
Ross Mills points out a list of the 50 greatest fictional weapons of all time – Halo contributes 2 to the list (Plasma Grenade and Energy sword). Not bad!(Louis Wu 02:18:50 UTC)

CPL’s Winter Tourney purse loses 90% of its value
Wow. You might remember that a few weeks ago, the Cyberathlete Professional League made huge waves by announcing a Halo 3 tournament in December with a one million dollar purse. They’ve made a few changes, it appears… the one million dollar tournament is being moved to the CPL Summer Event (next July), and the winter tourney now has a $100,000 purse. The announcement suggests that the changes are due to shenanigans involving other professional gaming leagues… hmm. Anyway, just a heads-up in case you were planning on attending.(Louis Wu 02:09:48 UTC)

Obsydian was the first to point out to us the newest Bungie anagram – I’m pretty sure it’s not “Two Green Aardvarks Walk Away From A Leopard”… but it could be pretty much anything else. He found it on the Halo 3 Soundtrack. Any guesses? (Don’t forget, mnemesis keeps track of ALL the Bungie acronyms over at Bungie Sightings – if this one is too much for you, try some of the others!)(Louis Wu 01:56:37 UTC)

Recovery One, Part Three
I’ve recovered enough from my tryptophan-induced stupor to point out that Red vs Blue has posted Recovery One, Part Three; you can find it on their Sponsors forum, if you’re a sponsor, or you can download it in HD splendor (for 80 Microsoft Points) from Xbox Live Marketplace. I’m really digging this story; it’s engrossing, tightly written, and makes me want Part Four, now. (While you’re at their website, swing by the store; they’ve got some new t-shirts (thanks, Merc) and new books and calendars (thanks, Dan the Stick).)(Louis Wu 01:50:42 UTC)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone (even you heathen non-Americans)! I hope you are all having a great and relaxing holiday, eating embarrassing amounts of food, and being as gluttonous as is your American right. Typically, I spend Thanksgiving with Burnie’s family,…
