Sketchy.
Luke McKay whipped up a few Master Chief sketches on Friday - we've added them to his gallery here. Good stuff! (Louis Wu 23:11:17 UTC) (permalink)
Does he have a wick?
Havok Se7en visited Madame Tussauds' Wax Museum in Las Vegas, and took some pictures of a familiar character. Groovylicious! (Louis Wu 22:43:01 UTC) (permalink)
ARG Video (almost) Wrapup
Ibeechu and DHalo have released a pair of videos in their 'Perceiving the Dimensions of IRIS' series - these two episodes were a bit delayed by real life, and they realize the ARG is over now... but if you're curious to know how it all (almost) ended up, you should go watch episode 4 (WMP9, 24.1 mb | QuickTime, 20.3 mb) and episode 5 (WMP9, 41.7 mb | QuickTime, 39.3 mb). There's one more episode coming - but don't count on it before Halo 3 is released.

Shock and Awe, Revisited
Back in February, we mentioned a Halo 3 tourney being planned by Games In Action - the link in that post has died, but Hexudus pointed out a new thread on the GIA forum with more info. There's still time to sign up! (Louis Wu 21:20:43 UTC) (permalink)
The Riot 65
Sigafoos let us know about The Riot 65 - 32 minutes, 13 mb worth of news, tournaments, Trinity, and Medie - erm, never mind. Stuff. Go listen. (Louis Wu 20:07:37 UTC) (permalink)
Still need hardware?
Daily TV Deals is a blog with cool deals - they found one from Best Buy that might be of interest to some of you. Buy a selected Samsung HDTV, get a free Xbox 360 and a copy of Halo 3. Nice! (Louis Wu 20:04:04 UTC) (permalink)
Show Your Trivia Skillz
oriol zertuche pointed out a Halo Universe quiz at Grunts R Us - see how good your knowledge is! (So far, nobody's gotten more than 18/20 right, it seems...) (Louis Wu 19:47:39 UTC) (permalink)
Buying Stuff
Reinsoft sent mail about an auction on eBay for a bunch of cups and some Halo 2 memorabilia. (The cups - can't you still get those at 7-11?) A couple of days left... (Louis Wu 19:45:03 UTC) (permalink)
Living With Hype
SeannyD wrote up a monster blog post about Halo 3 hype, and why it's bad... AND good. Give it a read! (Louis Wu 13:45:01 UTC) (permalink)

xATHENAx let us know that Halo2.junk.ws hosted a 4v4 tourney this weekend for communities that have participated in the past - 29 teams showed up.

Halo: Orions Spartans I
Samir Patel was the first to let us know about 'Halo: Orions Spartans I', a new Flash vid at Newgrounds. Very high production values, and this one's unusual in that it's a serious story, not a comedy. Go watch! (Louis Wu 13:26:11 UTC) (permalink)
It's just shooting and running and throwing grenades.
Cinema Blend has put up an article about how Halo 3 ain't all that... and it's our fault.
Gamers are overly excited about a game that doesn't give us anything new, so it won't get more exciting than it already is. This is gaming standing still, and we are happy with it.
It's an opinion, that's certainly true... (Louis Wu 13:03:39 UTC) (permalink)
Halo on TV
Herr Zrbo noticed a ton of Halo stuff available under the G4 label from Comcast On Demand (on your TV, if you have Comcast Cable). Check it out! (Louis Wu 12:58:58 UTC) (permalink)
They'll Regret That, Too...
GameDaily is here to help make sure you have time to finish the fight; they've put up an article with some sample emails you can send to your boss to get out of work on the 25th. Warning: risk of firing imminent. Thanks, Morpheus. (Louis Wu 12:57:16 UTC) (permalink)
Luigi as Cortana... ew.
Lots of people sent us word of this YouTube vid of someone playing the Halo theme using Mario Paint. (I guess it was Dugg.) Pretty cool! prometheus was first - thanks. (Louis Wu 12:52:31 UTC) (permalink)
Norwegian Leak, Clarified
Over at Subnova, simen has translated some Norwegian to explain more fully the situation of the 'in the wild' copies there. Doesn't sound TOO awful... (Louis Wu 12:50:37 UTC) (permalink)
