Steel Spartan Kotobukiya, coming soon

Awesome.
kilaMOMjaro sent us a note about her middle son - he's building cool things in Forge. My question is, though... does it walk? (Louis Wu 21:43:23 UTC) (permalink)
A bug by any other name...
The Escapist looks at game glitches, and how they can enhance your experience, rather than degrade it. Halo 2 and Halo 3 both play a role. (Louis Wu 15:56:14 UTC) (permalink)
Rocket Race Montage
Z sent us a link to a Rocket Race montage at Halo3Forum; if you haven't played a lot of this gametype, swing by and watch! (Louis Wu 15:47:15 UTC) (permalink)
Soundtrack Analysis, Part 1
Over at Rampancy.net, Narcogen wrote up an article that examines the Halo 3 soundtrack, and how it reinforces gameplay and your emotional ties to the action that happens onscreen. It's a great read - I can't wait for Part 2! (Louis Wu 15:28:37 UTC) (permalink)
Installation Disintegration: Part 2
ZZoMBiE13's weeklong Halo destruction series continues - today's Another Halo Comic Strip has a cameo from a DIFFERENT Halo comic. (And one of the best UNSC ship names EVAR.) (Louis Wu 13:45:37 UTC) (permalink)
Random Halo 3 Screenshots
Hawty McBloggy spent a lot of time perusing screenshots collections at Bungie.net, and put together fifteen of her favorites. (Three came from Bungie's Favorites list, but the rest were all dug out by her.) Some really cool shots in there!

Building armor with minimal cash
Keegan came by with some pictures of his low-budget Halo 3 armor - looks great! (Louis Wu 13:27:25 UTC) (permalink)
US Army - Heavy Weapons Training
J23 pointed out that Major Nelson has announced the next entry from the US Army - Heavy Weapons. I couldn't find a consistent way to navigate to this, but the 'Heavy Weapons' banner is in heavy rotation (no pun intended) on the LIVE blades of your 360; it shouldn't be hard to find. Once you navigate to the page, you'll find a new theme, a picture pack, an instructional army video, the ability to register for the next phase of the Army's multipart tournament, and two training vids - shoulder-mounted weapons, and support weapons. These will give you tips and tricks to maximize your effectiveness with these powerful, but in some ways limited, weapons. (Louis Wu 13:24:05 UTC) (permalink)
Starting Early
Sep7imus ran across a fun magazine cover at The Onion... it's a parody, yeah, but it hits a little close to home. (Louis Wu 13:06:16 UTC) (permalink)
