The folks at xDead at Dawnx Films wonder if signs have a purpose. Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 16:45:40 UTC)

Hmm… General Vagueness found an old post on ComicMix discussing a comment made by a consultant at the New York Comic Con in 2008. Apparently, a company called Starlight Runner Entertainment was commissioned by Microsoft to create a ‘bible’ for the Halo universe. There’s nothing on Starlight’s website about this project, and as far as I know, it’s never been mentioned since… it’s unknown if it’s gone anywhere in the past year.(Louis Wu 16:37:29 UTC)

Psdtuts put up an article called the ‘Top 40 Video Game Covers of All Time‘ – the three Halo FPS titles came in at #13. Thanks, Tech Artist.(Louis Wu 14:37:41 UTC)

Errod stopped in with a really nice piece of Halo Wars artwork – it was used as a cover image for a Danish gaming mag originally, but he managed to get an unmodified version from the magazine’s layout editor. Check it out!(Louis Wu 13:06:32 UTC)

Scotty stopped in with word of some new Dodgeball variants, built on Sandbox. The pictures look intriguing!(Louis Wu 13:06:03 UTC)

A summary of the Halo comics released since Monday’s update:

• The Catfish came by yesterday with word of 2501 Episode 28 (Trial)
• Dennis Powers told us about Shipwrecked Episode 59 (Emergence) – things look to be heating up
• Adam Susskind let us know that he’s released Chaos Theory Episode 16 (Such Bright Darkness) on its standard Tuesday schedule
• Hawty McBloggy passed on word that ODS Steve 18 (Intrusion) is up – the Super comes up with an interesting technique for fighting back
• Bloogyo told us that Rat’s Nest Episode 4 4 is live (and provided links to archived material)
• TTL Demag0gue stopped in with word of Reclaimer 167 (Dealmaker), with Ferial paying a visit to Portent.

That’s a hefty batch!(Louis Wu 13:04:20 UTC)

When Halo 3 was launched, one of the product tie-ins was Mountain Dew Game Fuel – a cherry-flavored variant of Mountain Dew. Some people loved this – but after the game’s launch, the product left the market. According to the Escapist, though, it’s coming back this summer… albeit with a World of Warcraft label instead of a Halo 3 label. Hooray for caffeinated cough medicine! (Louis Wu 12:51:52 UTC)

quququ1 stopped in to announce that the multiplayer functionality of Halo Zero (a fan-made 2D sidescroller) has been enabled; check his post for links on where to download the game, and where to find info about the new multiplayer stuff.(Louis Wu 12:51:23 UTC)

Decadence Night visited yesterday to announce that he’d created a bunch of Mythic panoramas – swing by his website to see them!(Louis Wu 12:50:51 UTC)

Nathan Moeller wrote to tell us that Competitive Video Games is hosting a 4v4 Slayer/Objective tournament, March 21 at 1pm CST. Swing by for more details.(Louis Wu 12:50:15 UTC)

oooh em geee edited a new ‘Mythictage’ (a montage made from Mythic map footage) – the extra effects are really, really slick. This one’s totally worth watching in HD. Thanks to urk for highlighting this!(Louis Wu 12:48:33 UTC)
