Big Bang
Awesome new video at Game Invasion - 3:41 worth of Bungie employees (Marty, man, cut your hair) discussing what THEY think Halo 3 will give you, and what you're going to be giving back. Hype? Sure. But good hype. Go watch. Thanks, GetOverIT Enor.Update: Schedonnardus points out that there are actually TWO new videos today - the second one, Better than Ever, is all about how passionate the devs are about this game. (There's also an explanation for Marty's new 'do.) Watch this one too! (Louis Wu 21:22:52 UTC) (permalink)

Great Soundtracks
Game Revolver posted their list of the top 12 greatest soundtracks of all time (we're talking games here, not movies) - Halo 2 did pretty well. Thanks, Raz0r. (Louis Wu 20:32:46 UTC) (permalink)
More armor pics from James Falcon
James Falcon sent along another batch of pics of his armor in progress - this time we've got forearm guards, the start of his S108 Sniper Rifle, and some pics of him messing around with his AR5. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 20:22:31 UTC) (permalink)
Does It Come In Lightish Red?
Whoa. A One One Se7en that references Halo 3, Red vs Blue, and Marathon, all at once! Watch the overload! (Speaking of Marathon - have you submitted your entry for the 7 on the 7th Contest yet? Deadline is in 8 hours!) (Louis Wu 19:55:43 UTC) (permalink)

New screenies at Gamersyde
Remember those hidden screenshots on Xbox.com? Gamersyde has giant versions of 'em... along with a very nice Multiplayer shot, as well. (Red Team FTW.) Thanks, Mike Carson. (Louis Wu 18:15:16 UTC) (permalink)
Halotosis
A thoughtful, well-written article (typo in the first line notwithstanding) can be found over at Gamers with Jobs; Julian "rabbit" Murdoch discusses how Halo 3 simply CANNOT live up to the level of hype that's been generated. The line that resonated most with me was his description of Guitar Hero 2; even though he enjoyed it, and has played it more than its predecessor, "it's been much less satisfying, if only because its excellence is expected." We would all do well to remember this. Thanks, Doc P. (Louis Wu 13:19:01 UTC) (permalink)
Those are his orders.
Swing by Tied the Leader for a special treat today - XerxdeeJ has a 12-minute interview with Steve Downes, who plays the voice of Master Chief in all three Halo games. Sound quality is awesome, behind the scenes discussion is beyond awesome. 11.5 mb in MP3 format - go grab a copy! (Louis Wu 11:40:44 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Albania update
Dave Bergland let us know that the next Halo 3 Albania Project Webisode is now online (or you can watch it on YouTube) - it's the second half of the 'meet the crew' segment. (Louis Wu 11:30:50 UTC) (permalink)
Brainstorm
RPG-TV.com jumped right on the Wikipedia edit thing we mentioned yesterday - today's comic extrapolates. Thanks, chewpathingy. (Louis Wu 11:24:29 UTC) (permalink)
Kubrick Action Figure Theater
Elnea bought some Kubrick Spartans, and decided they'd fit nicely into her Halo Action Figure Theater. I think she's right. (Louis Wu 11:22:08 UTC) (permalink)
Add the countdown to your .sig
RVideo pointed out a small gif you can include in your .signature that will show a countdown to Halo 3 with each pageload. (Don't save a local copy; all you'll get is the time to Halo 3 from when you saved it. You need to use the URL he provides.) (Louis Wu 11:18:53 UTC) (permalink)
Getting a look at who killed you
The Australian Herald Sun has an article about the Saved Films feature of Halo 3, with some discussion from Frankie about the game in general and what Bungie tried to do with it. Give it a read! (Louis Wu 11:15:38 UTC) (permalink)
