Halo United by Leviathan
Do you love Halo? Do you love amazing art work? Then you better direct your battle-hardened clicky finger over this way so that you may witness one of the most awesome pieces of Halo art you are likely to see. Leviathan is of course behind this work of greatness, having created it for an upcoming auction for the Child’s Play charity. The final poster will be signed by members of Bungie, 343 Industries, and Robot Entertainment. Stellar artwork, and for an awesome cause too! You MUST check it out. After you wipe the drool off your mouth, you can drop by our forum and tell him what you think! While you are at it, don’t forget to check out more of Leviathan’s amazing work right here in his acclaimed Fistful Of Arrows comic.(GrimBrother One 13:25:50 UTC)

Wonders on Waypoint
Halo Waypoint has some goodies for you this week – there’s a spotlight on the darkest character in the Halo universe, and a pretty cool studio tour of the newest offices of the Rooster Teeth crew – a great look at the space where Red vs Blue (and other cool stuff) is created. As always, if you feel like you might have missed something, there’s a very handy Weekly Wrapup post that contains links to all the interesting content they covered this week. Go explore!(Louis Wu 12:05:53 UTC)

I am The Best
If you swing by the Rooster Teeth website, you’ll find ‘I am The Best‘, a hymn to Church pulled off the RvB Revelation soundtrack. I think Burnie thanks his lucky stars for auto-tune… but this is worth watching just for the rappin’ Elites. Check it.(Louis Wu 21:11:15 UTC)

Halo Shirt Transformation
DeviantARTist Bri-Creative received a shirt that was far too big for her at a Halo event; she hacked it up a bit, and what she was left with was far more appropriate for someone of her build. Nice! (And thanks to Raulboy for letting us know.)(Louis Wu 19:22:29 UTC)

Number 8 With a Bullet
In 2008, Bungie made the ‘Develop 100’ – a list, put together by Develop Magazine, of the top 100 most successful game studios in the world (as measured by sales the previous year in the UK). They were #8, presumably based in large part on the sales of Halo 3. By 2010, they’d dropped to #16 – but it looks like they’re back up to #8 on the 2011 list (which is now calculated based on Metacritic score, rather than UK sales data). Thanks to GhaleonEB for pointing this out on GAF.(Louis Wu 16:00:17 UTC)

‘Halo: CE’ action figures to debut at E3
NeoGAF’s wwm0nkey pointed out a new Play Arts Halo action figure line from Square Enix. The two new figures shown are from “Halo: CE” and will debut at this year’s E3. The figures are envisioned by Square Enix, which might account for the discernible changes in the Mark V armor. How intriguing. Update: Frankie stopped by to elaborate on the action figures. According to him, the figures pull in design elements from every variant of the Chief to create unique, Japanese-flavored celebration items for the 10th anniversary. Update 2: The lovely bs angel just informed me that Halo Waypoint has photos and the official press release for the new line.(Hitmonchan 15:15:45 UTC)

I’m going to regret this, I bet
