Beat me, big daddy – 8 to the bar
c0ld vengeance is back, with a new 3D screenshot (available, as usual, in both standard QuickTime format and QTVR format) – this time it’s the Master Chief, laying the smack down on the Prophet of Regret. Awesome pic! Go grab a copy.(Louis Wu 03:36:08 UTC)

Out of Mind – Front Burner Again
Out of Mind is a Red vs Blue miniseries that launched on Xbox Live Marketplace in mid-June; it was suposed to be weekly (or nearly weekly), but it’s not until tonight that Episode 2 was released (thanks, HaloMarine117). If you don’t HAVE Xbox Live Marketplace – never fear. Rooster Teeth finally got permission (you might need a RvB account to see that) from Microsoft to release the series on their website, and Episode 1 will be posted for sponsors later tonight, with the rest of the series following over the next four weeks. (I’m assuming – though it’s not stated explicitly – that low-res versions will be available for the masses a few days after the sponsors get them, as usual.) Update: (11:40 pm ET, 3:40 am UTC) It’s up now for sponsors.(Louis Wu 03:32:32 UTC)

Submit Stuff for Episode 75: The Halo 3 Show
Episode 74: The anniversary episode is a different type of show and is getting some special attention with the different segments. So while the recording is done, that one still needs a little work. In the mean time it’s time for my favorite show…
What does your Halo 3 crystal ball show you?
That there is happiness and prosperity in your future? That you’ll win the lottery next week and get married and have 10 kids? Tell it to stay on topic. What do you want to see in Halo 3, or what do you predict it will have? Let us know! Just click the Submit News and Tips link at the top left and send it in with your gamertag so we can give you credit. And please, for the love of God, use spellcheck!
Halo 3 is great and all, but i really love Irritating Stick
Do you love Halo 3, but also love another? What other games do you think us tunnel visioned Halo players would like? If you don’t really play any other games, why don’t you tell us about your favorite retro game we could check out? Either way, just send us a one paragraph mini review telling us what you like about the game and why. Of course, be sure you include your gamertag with this too.
These are due by Thursday night, but the earlier you get yours in, the more likely it will get on the show and you’ll be famous and have hot chicks begging to date you. So hurry up!

SA’s Comedy Goldmine
Something Awful has a Comedy Goldmine article up – forum regulars over there created posters for movies that starred videogame characters. The Master Chief turns up in two – Monster House and Reservoir Dogs. Thanks to DemanusFlint, who pointed these out – and I agree with him that the first one doesn’t make a lot of sense.(Louis Wu 22:51:23 UTC)

Mintz waited patiently for us to let you know about some updates on Halo: Portable – a new podcast, a bunch of PSP-ready Bungie articles… we forgot, so he reminded us. So we’re telling you. Go read/listen.(Louis Wu 22:06:32 UTC)

VGL – in Chicago with a vengeance
The Video Games Live performance in Chicago is coming up soon – and a press release went out today; you can read it here. This is a great chance to meet Marty O’Donnell and Mike Salvatori – if you’re in Chicago this weekend, you should get yourself to the Rosemont Theatre on Saturday!(Louis Wu 21:56:14 UTC)

Are you sure that’s not supposed to be Chachi?
Cybrfrk found an older (10 months ago) EXTRALIFE comic that’s Halo-related… and pretty funny. Or it would be, if we didn’t see it played out on forums around the net…(Louis Wu 21:30:11 UTC)

What IS happening inside Durandal, anyway?
One of the newest hires at Bungie is Cam Pinard, better known to the longtime Bungie fan community as Cunbelin. (In fact, you gotta be a REAL old-timer to recognize the name; he’s been mostly absent for a while.) KP sat down with him and got a few choice morsels out of his labyrinthine brain – go read about what he’s adding to Halo 3! (Man… where’s Old Man Murray when you need him? I can tell Halo 3’s gonna suck.)(Louis Wu 21:18:33 UTC)

MediaGamers 2v2 Tourney Redux
High Hat 314 wrote to let us know that MediaGamers.com is back online with the start of the new month; this is relevant because we mentioned a 2v2 tourney they’re setting up about a week ago – but they immediately ran out of bandwidth, and folks couldn’t sign up. If you were interested, but couldn’t get through, go back and sign up now.(Louis Wu 18:14:09 UTC)

Troy Hudzinski sent along word of an upcoming paintball game in Kingston, Michigan – ‘Searchings‘ will take place on September 9, and has a backstory based on a fanfic. The event is to raise money for Carriage Town Ministries in Flint, MI – so if you’re in the area, sign up and get to role-playing!(Louis Wu 17:49:55 UTC)

Four Flags – by The Dark Power
deftangel dropped by our forum with a story about a very cool Spartan model, made from sculpy, then cast in resin – check out the pic in his post, and then follow the link to the sculptor’s website for more angles. (You might want to check out the rest of his portfolio, as well – there’s some pretty amazing stuff in there!) Now that’s one spectacular birthday present!(Louis Wu 17:29:33 UTC)
