AI Hawtness
I'm not sure I'd look very good in it - but there are definitely some Halo fans that could pull it off. Check out the new Cortana Tank Top in the Bungie Store. Thanks, aklay47. (Louis Wu 22:08:33 UTC) (permalink)
They better not name it Zanzibar.
Wow. This is... odd. A Halo 3 Ferris Wheel at the Leipzig Games Convention? Each car is closed, it looks like - what goes on inside? Thanks, Zeouterlimits. (Louis Wu 21:52:57 UTC) (permalink)
Halo on the BIG screen
if you live near Seattle, you might want to look into the Halo 3 IMAX Preview event - it's tomorrow night, at the Seattle Pacific Science Center, and seats are first-come, first-served, RSVP only. Go read! (Louis Wu 21:42:20 UTC) (permalink)
The Invasion Trailer Contest
Adam Kovic let us know that Machinima.com is running another contest - this one requires that you put together a machinima version of the official "Invasion" movie trailer using supplied audio and graphics, mixed with your own game footage. As of right now, there are two submissions (one using the Sims, the other using modeled footage) - the field's wide open, and the grand prize is a cool $1000. You've got until September 3 - get cracking! Halo seems like a perfect vehicle.

Halo Maps releases Church - and a lot more
A couple of weeks ago, we pointed out a trailer for Church, a Halo CE map that looked pretty impressive. It's been released - swing by HaloMaps.org to download it. (While you're there, take some time and look around; over 100 maps and almost 70 modified levels have been added to the archives in July and August alone, with more than 170 tutorials and assets for mapmaking.)

Podtacular 125
Big Goalie Dan let us know about Podtacular 125 - guest-hosted by DoodiRock, from 2old2play, this one contains lots of Halo 3 discussion. 51 mb - go download. (While you're there, check out the latest Pod TV - they're showing off the Assassin's Skull, and how to grab it.) (Louis Wu 21:06:31 UTC) (permalink)
Lego Minifigs on eBay
Fragclone noticed a couple of Lego custom minifigures on eBay right now - an ODST Helljumper and Sgt. Johnson in his dress whites. They're pretty cool, though they DO seem to be pretty expensive for minifigures. (Louis Wu 20:00:35 UTC) (permalink)
Real New Yorkers Know about Halo 3
J&R Music World got a chance to ask Frankie a few questions about Halo 3 - most of them have been asked elsewhere, but it's a nice mix and contains a few tidbits that I don't rememer seeing before. (Louis Wu 19:14:12 UTC) (permalink)
Sounds like Calvin and Stuntmutt, actually.
Warbow assures us that this pace will NOT keep up too much longer, but you can still enjoy Calvin and Halo while he remains inspired. (Louis Wu 19:08:52 UTC) (permalink)
VGL in London
If you live in the UK, and you're sad that you've never gotten a chance to see the Video Games Live show, be sad no more. They'll be at the London Games Festival on October 22, performing with the Philharmonia Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall. (The event is not listed on the Philharmonia Orchestra website or the London Games Festival site yet, but it is listed on the Southbank Centre site.) Full press release is here.

Nice deal on XBL, Halo-style
Not bad - if you need an Xbox Live subscription, you can't do a lot better than Buy.com's deal right now - 13 month Gold subscription, on a Halo 3 card, for $39, shipped. Thanks to Gaming Dealz for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 18:29:18 UTC) (permalink)
Do The D'Oh.
Stuntmutt felt that there was a problem with the recently noticed Mountain Dew Game Fuel Ad. (If you haven't seen the ad, we mentioned it a couple of days ago.) But Stuntmutt isn't one to complain without suggestions - he had his own idea of how the ad might have gone. Check today's One One Se7en for details. (Louis Wu 15:31:54 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Sling Bag
failedparachute noticed a new Halo 3 Sling Bag at EBGames. $50, but you'll probably want a better look than the dinky screenshot available before you spend your dough. (Louis Wu 14:42:48 UTC) (permalink)
Stay Young
Time Glitch pointed out Stay Young, from Flem Productions - available in downloadable and streaming formats from the forum post; I'm not sure i understand what was happening in the film, but the effects were pretty cool. (Louis Wu 14:36:56 UTC) (permalink)
Energy Episode Seven: The Key
Simply Greg stopped by to point out Energy Episode 7 - the final installment of Fantasy Cubed's machinima series. Just under 13 minutes, 100 mb. Go watch! (Louis Wu 14:34:27 UTC) (permalink)
Putting power in the hands of the player
There's a pretty interesting interview with Lars Bakken, done by the IGN AU team last week but published yesterday. Mostly multiplayer stuff, with a few random questions tossed in. Thanks, PsychoRaven. (Louis Wu 14:02:40 UTC) (permalink)
Halo PC Titles for Cheap
Black Six points out that you can get Halo PC for $7.90 and Halo 2 for Vista for $19.90, through tomorrow at 6 am Eastern, at GoGamer.com. (Louis Wu 13:20:36 UTC) (permalink)
The Riot 61
Sigafoos sent in word yesterday about The Riot 61, but it got overlooked in the airport news search. Go download it now! 24 minutes, 10 mb. (They've got two new Sean Mortensen compositions, along with the standard community talk, tournament discussion, and challenges.) (Louis Wu 13:18:25 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: Past, Present, Future
Gamespot has posted a new retrospective video - clips from the three Halo games, interspersed with interviews of Gamespot personnel about the games. Nitro288 pointed to a new portal Gamespot's set up for Halo 3 as a download location, but for some reason, this doesn't work for me at all; I found it here (top video on the list). (Louis Wu 13:15:34 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Impressions from PC Authority
PC Authority (an Australian PC mag) got a chance to play Halo 3 at the Sydney event last week, as well. They seemed to enjoy it. (The claim in the last line - that a PC version is coming, at an undisclosed date - is speculation, as far as I can tell; Bungie has made no indication whatsoever that they plan to release a PC version down the road. If you're the gambling type, it's not a totally unreasonable bet... but it certainly isn't fact, yet.) (Louis Wu 12:54:50 UTC) (permalink)
