Bob Dole? Really?
Wow... this is just... wrong. Thanks (I guess) 343winks. (Louis Wu 20:47:49 UTC) (permalink)
Print Materials, For Sale
Someone's selling a whole bunch of magazines with Halo articles in 'em (plus some other stuff) - see if it's worth it to you! Thanks, Reinsoft. (Louis Wu 19:57:21 UTC) (permalink)
I guess we can check him in a couple of weeks.
pete_the_duck went through the Omegathon footage at Gametrailers, and mapped out Guardian, the Halo 3 level. Pretty impressive work! (Louis Wu 19:54:01 UTC) (permalink)
Orange Gold
Kotaku went on a Halo 3 Game Fuel Slurpee run... and took pics. Yum! (Louis Wu 19:51:05 UTC) (permalink)
Get your own cardboard MC
Deadguy71 let us know that there are a bunch of standups for sale on eBay - these are the cardboard cutouts used in Game Fuel promotions. Average price seems to be about $50 or so... check it out!

Halo 3 Mobile
According to a new banner on halo3.com (which may or may not be accessible to you - read this thread for details), Microsoft has put up a WAP-enabled website for Halo news on your mobile phone. Go see. (Louis Wu 14:06:43 UTC) (permalink)
Building the Halo 3 Collection
Tex did the schwag thing yesterday, and took pics. Go look. (Thanks to Narcogen, at Rampancy.net, for the heads-up.) (Louis Wu 13:43:03 UTC) (permalink)
A good look at Halo ActionClix
XBL Radio interviewed the WizKids rep at PAX a couple of weeks ago - the video is now up. You get a good sense for how Halo ActionClix works, and can see the game in action - good stuff! Thanks, Avateur. (Louis Wu 13:06:15 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 on Game Head
Game Head did some filming at the Massachusetts Projekt Revolution event in late August - Halo 3 was played there, and the cameras were rolling. (Footage shown by itself seems to be taken straight from the Beta - but I don't know if that's what was playing in the background.) Thanks, chewpathingy. (Louis Wu 13:02:53 UTC) (permalink)
I think 'Buy Halo 3' should be there.
GameDaily's posted a Halo 3 Checklist. Thread contributers say 'meh'. Thanks, Avateur. (Louis Wu 12:59:49 UTC) (permalink)
There's a plot. She promises.
Elnea posted a Halo Action Figure Theater Update - this one uses the new McFarlane mini-chief. (In a somewhat disturbing setting, I'd have to say.) Go see! (Louis Wu 12:58:02 UTC) (permalink)
That's alotta games...
Guns Lot has put up a 'Top Twenty Five (25) Best Selling Video Games Of All Time' list - this is for independent sales, not games packaged with a console. It's actually the top 29, because there are five games tied for 25th place. Halo 2 is one of those. Thanks, Devin Olsen. (Louis Wu 12:55:50 UTC) (permalink)
How does it feel to be first?
GamesRadar sat down and talked with Francesca Reyes, Editor-in-Chief of Official Xbox Magazine. She has the honor of being the first person outside of Bungie/Microsoft to fully play through the Halo 3 campaign - and she discusses the situation a little. (There are no spoilers, and she tells you NOTHING about the game itself - just about playing it.) Fun read! Thanks to many people - looks like Coolpengwn was first.

Where's the Achronos Action Figure?
Frankie posted an image-heavy Weekly Update tonight, chock full of high quality pictures of upcoming merchandise. The blurbs for the images tell you where and when they'll be available as well as just how far into debt they'll push you. We've got a local mirror in our Weekly Update Archive right here, as always. Thanks to uber_chaos, via #hbo, for the first mention. (KP 01:07:20 UTC) (permalink)
Media Gets Their Shot
Bungie takes as few chances as possible when it comes to Halo 3 - over at GamePro, you can read about the review sessions that will be taking place next week in New York and Seattle. Most games, a reviewer gets a copy in the mail a few weeks before release - but not Bungie's baby. If you're press, you can play through the game - but you do it on Bungie's turf, you sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement that embargoes the information until the 23rd, and you send only one person per media outlet. Hardcore! (For what it's worth, this is how they did Halo 2 review stuff, too, except for the 1-person-per-outlet rule; that's new this time around.) (Louis Wu 00:54:01 UTC) (permalink)
More McFarlane Stuff
Joe found the McFarlane collectibles on the IGN website - they're on IGN Comics, and if you swing by, you can see shots of the Jackal Sniper and the Ghost. I sort of wish the Jackal Snipers weren't so well-done... I'd love to get my hands on a bunch of 'em and just blow 'em up. Not gonna happen with these, though... what a beak!
