Fun Icular.
Today's One One Se7en is a groanworthy addition to the collection. (Louis Wu 20:54:46 UTC) (permalink)
Free Halo 3 Dashboard Theme... in Stores
Wow, very cool. There's a new article at Xbox.com which discusses a gorgeous Halo 3 theme based on the Emotion pic - it's free, but it's only available at Xbox 360 kiosks in your nearest game store. Go get it! (Bring a memory card.) Thanks to Xbox 360 Fanboy for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 20:54:11 UTC) (permalink)
I need a rawreapon.
bs angel found a new Master Chief outfit on eBay - this one is for your dog. Say WHAT? Yep, go look. (Louis Wu 20:47:35 UTC) (permalink)
Complications
TTL Demag0gue has posted Chapter Two, Part Two of his Reclaimer comic - he seems to have shifted completely away from the filtered look of his earlier artwork; this one is straight screenshots. Viper's about to find something... big. (Louis Wu 16:54:45 UTC) (permalink)
IGN reviews Halo Uprising #2
IGN felt that this issue has little depth, but pretty pictures. "Flawed but enjoyable" is how they put it. Thanks, AfroRyan. (Louis Wu 16:50:42 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Marine Dedication
QuickTactical has been taking lots of screenshots of Halo 3 marines - and he's put them together in a 9-minute slideshow, available on YouTube. (Louis Wu 16:47:56 UTC) (permalink)
Infection Montage
sabrefang put together a rather long, but pretty interesting, montage of Infection games - really nice camera work! Check it out. (Louis Wu 16:45:39 UTC) (permalink)
Serious Halo
Rick pointed out a pretty silly Flash animation at Newgrounds - Master Chief dances as he lists the things that interest him. Rick apologized. (Louis Wu 16:29:47 UTC) (permalink)
Best Buy Deal Up North
Xbox Circle noticed that this week's Best Buy circular in Canada offers you a free copy of Lost Planet if you buy the Halo 3 Legendary Edition for $99. (Remember - this is a Canadian deal; in the US, the Legendary Edition is $129, and there's no free game.) (Louis Wu 16:25:58 UTC) (permalink)
The Faces of Halo
Over at Sci Fi Tech, they've taken a look at the faces behind the voice talent in Halo 3. Some of them even worked those visual assets into the game! (Louis Wu 02:21:58 UTC) (permalink)
Killer Weapons
Ross Mills points out a list of the 50 greatest fictional weapons of all time - Halo contributes 2 to the list (Plasma Grenade and Energy sword). Not bad! (Louis Wu 02:18:50 UTC) (permalink)
Tsavo Fun at Bad Cyborg
Rockslider has taken a look at two different parts of Tsavo Highway for their replay value... go check out his findings at Bad Cyborg. (Louis Wu 02:12:47 UTC) (permalink)
CPL's Winter Tourney purse loses 90% of its value
Wow. You might remember that a few weeks ago, the Cyberathlete Professional League made huge waves by announcing a Halo 3 tournament in December with a one million dollar purse. They've made a few changes, it appears... the one million dollar tournament is being moved to the CPL Summer Event (next July), and the winter tourney now has a $100,000 purse. The announcement suggests that the changes are due to shenanigans involving other professional gaming leagues... hmm. Anyway, just a heads-up in case you were planning on attending.

TGAWAFAL
Obsydian was the first to point out to us the newest Bungie anagram - I'm pretty sure it's not "Two Green Aardvarks Walk Away From A Leopard"... but it could be pretty much anything else. He found it on the Halo 3 Soundtrack. Any guesses? (Don't forget, mnemesis keeps track of ALL the Bungie acronyms over at Bungie Sightings - if this one is too much for you, try some of the others!) Update: looks like siliconmaster482 was actually the first to mention it, on Tuesday - sorry I didn't notice. (Louis Wu 01:56:37 UTC) (permalink)
Mashed Potatoes for All
V10L3N7 JAY stopped by with some Thanksgiving love from Section Three. Thanks, Jay! (Louis Wu 01:53:15 UTC) (permalink)
Recovery One, Part Three
I've recovered enough from my tryptophan-induced stupor to point out that Red vs Blue has posted Recovery One, Part Three; you can find it on their Sponsors forum, if you're a sponsor, or you can download it in HD splendor (for 80 Microsoft Points) from Xbox Live Marketplace. I'm really digging this story; it's engrossing, tightly written, and makes me want Part Four, now. (While you're at their website, swing by the store; they've got some new t-shirts (thanks, Merc) and new books and calendars (thanks, Dan the Stick).) (Louis Wu 01:50:42 UTC) (permalink)
