Halo 3 Fails: Episode 12
chris10023 was the first to let us know about Halo 3 Fails, Episode 12 – but be aware that this is the first episode since Episode six that has earned the Hawty McBloggy seal of approval (she’s really happy they’ve gone back to clips that we all can connect with, and that haven’t been totally overdone in other videos). Go watch!@(Louis Wu 13:56:01 UTC)

Better than pie.
Missed this yesterday – and sorry I did. Hawty McBloggy discovered a cake created by a DevianARTist that looks AMAZING. Halo in all its glory… and edible! (Louis Wu 13:55:44 UTC)

Halo Wars Timeline and Backstory
A couple of fans on our forum have provided some help with the Halo Wars timeline – HaLo2FrEeEk transcribed the beginning of the ‘Halo Timeline’ available in the main Halo Wars game menu, and Bry unveiled a document that contains not only the full timeline, but detailed biographies of the characters, as well. Nice work!(Louis Wu 13:55:20 UTC)

More map codes up for grabs
Missed this yesterday – Xbox360Achievements.org is giving away 10 Mythic Map codes – email them with the answer to a relatively simple question, and you’re in the running. Thanks, urk. Update: ran across two more. ViP Gaming (a CoD blog) is giving away a code to the funniest ORIGINAL Halo joke – swing by the 360Junkies forum to enter. And Ripten has a code available, as well – swing by to see how it can be yours.(Louis Wu 13:54:53 UTC)

PodTV Campaign Show Site
Well, it has been fun making this series, and it has drawn to it’s conclusion. I’ve boasted about this project to quite a few people, and I’ve been hard at work developing a site for it. So I’m please to announce all the videos are available to be viewed and downloaded on my website: duststorm.org. A little bonus: you can download the videos in high-res for all the dedicated fans out there. I really appreciate all the feedback and support for this project. You can access the videos here.
Now you may be thinking that I’m done, but I’m far from it. I have a few projects I want to pursue, one being the Halo Wars Campaign, where I will do the same thing I did with the Halo 3 campaign. And of course, when ODST comes out, I’ll do a series for that as well. Another project I’m looking to do will involve the community in the Podtacular Campaign: where me and three people will play the campaign with probably every skull, but the blind skull. I’ll be mainly focusing on people who have been here the longest and have dedicated the most time to the community or forums, but it doesn’t mean that everyone is excluded. Each level will have a different group of people, so there is plenty of slots. I’m also looking into machinima, but I’m not exactly sure what I’ll do, but I’ll definitely keep people updated.

RT: Come Here Often #4
If today’s comic looks a little different to you, it’s because Luke’s decided to play around with some new styles. What do you think?

Str8 Rippin Team Montage
Z wrote to let us know about a Str8 Ripping Team Montage over at Halo3Forum.com. If you can handle the 640 MB HD download… you should grab it. (Watch it at whatever size, if you can’t manage the big one – but that one’s incredible.) The gameplay (not surprisingly) is amazing, the editing is quite good, and the video quality is to die for. Editing was done by Zola, and the whole thing is just over 11 minutes long. Go watch the pros do what they do best!(Louis Wu 16:59:44 UTC)

Halo Wars in 90 Seconds
BlueNinja was the first to notice a piece at GamesRadar that boils the Halo Wars story down to 90 seconds… and reveals a ‘spoiler’ which would be funnier if so many readers weren’t taking it seriously.(Louis Wu 16:36:18 UTC)

The Weekly Update: full of maps and jerky
The Bungie Weekly Update went up as expected yesterday – there’s a recap of the week, a look at an upcoming Sandbox variation, a Q&A for folks looking to get their maps into Matchmaking, some interesting news tidbits, and some very funny news submissions that didn’t quite make the cut. Oh, yeah, and a pair of up-for-grabs Mythic Map codes. (They’re both gone.) You can, as usual, check this out in our Weekly Update Archive, if you so choose.(Louis Wu 16:35:48 UTC)
