Good Things Coming As you may or may not have known, E3 kicks off this evening, with a gigantic press conference from Microsoft happening at 8:30 Pacific time (that's 4:30 am for you folks in the UK). It'll be streamed live on Xbox.com, as well as via G4TV (both on TV and on their website). Sometime after that, there might be some new content for you to see on the web. Probably. Thanks Luke (via MasterChief2829). (Louis Wu 19:19:42 UTC) (permalink)
GT's Top Ten E3 Offerings
Gametrailers.com has put up a GT Countdown - a video detailing their picks for the Top Ten Most Anticipated Games of E3 2007, which kicks off this evening. Halo 3 comes in at number 7 - because, according to GT, there's "a feeling of sameness surrounding the game thus far." Ouch! Thanks, CHAOS1212.

Wait - what's wrong with a used handgun?
Tied the Leader, absent these past three weeks, is back with a new update - a couple of new articles for your reading pleasure. 'Geekery Unyielding' discusses XerxdeeJ's MASSIVE role in the recent 'Halo Unyielding' machinima (what the heck does 'bearing 342' MEAN, anyway, in outer space?), and 'Do you know where your Xbox has been?' looks at Microsoft's new practice of banning consoles for life for certain infractions (and in so doing, compares 360s to cotton swabs and plungers). Fun reads, both. Thanks, XerxdeeJ. (Louis Wu 15:16:06 UTC) (permalink)
Leather Stuff - now viewable eddie m noticed that Enmon Accessories, a company that makes leather products (we mentioned them in May) has put up an info page with pictures of the Halo 3 products they'll be making - shots of wallets, bags, patches, and the like. Some of it looks great. (Some... well, maybe I'll just need to see it in a store.) Enmon is wholesale-only; you cannot buy products directly from them. You can, however, look for what you WANT to buy, next month. Update: Looks like the attention might have taken the website offline. Oops... (Louis Wu 11:14:04 UTC) (permalink)
Hello, Needler (Redux)
BitMaP stopped by to point out that a DeviantARTist colored an older black-and-white comic he did this spring - the end result is quite nice. (Louis Wu 11:05:05 UTC) (permalink)
Stuff to see at SDCC
If you're going to be in San Diego for the Comic Convention later this month, you're certainly going to want to swing by the WizKids' booth - they'll be giving away an exclusive Halo 3 figure that holds the distinction of being the largest miniature WizKids has ever produced. (24" x 24" x 20") Read more at Action Figure Insider. (Louis Wu 10:52:18 UTC) (permalink)

The Glass is Half Full
The Master Chief looks on the bright side in the most recent episode of Halo, Articulated (#55). (Louis Wu 10:34:38 UTC) (permalink)
Top o' the Charts
Wow. Gamermetrics is predicting that Halo 3 is going to be the top-selling game in 2007 - even though it comes out when 75% of the year is gone. That's some serious selling power... (Louis Wu 10:27:39 UTC) (permalink)
