Return to Sender - in 720p
Apologies for the delay - we've fallen behind on the release of the Halo 2 Hi-Def cutscenes, but the next one (Return to Sender) is now available. Once again, the link will give you a random selection from the mirror lists - hosts include Infectionist Machinima, bungie.org, and Wraith-Ops. Thanks, all! (Louis Wu 20:45:32 UTC) (permalink)
Custom Spartan (Unusual) on eBay Hawty McBloggy found a rather intense modded action figure on eBay today; if I explain what makes it intense, I'll need to put a spoiler tag on this newspost, so I'd rather just tell you to jump over to her blog post. You've got a few days to think about this... current bid is at $40. (Louis Wu 19:01:23 UTC) (permalink)
Diminishing returns
Today's episode of Another Halo Comic Strip is a little odd - but I think ZZoMBiE13's motives were pure. (Louis Wu 15:21:30 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3: still number 2
So even with a DoubleXP weekend, Halo 3 couldn't pass Call of Duty 4 on the LIVE activity list. To all those who said CoD4 was just a flash in the pan... what have they to say now? (Thanks, SPARTAN 294.) (Louis Wu 14:31:45 UTC) (permalink)
Recovery One, Part Two (For All)
Over at Red vs Blue, folks who haven't seen Recovery One can find Part Two available for watching... and sponsors can watch the director's commentary. Pretty interesting backstory stuff! (Louis Wu 11:30:23 UTC) (permalink)
The Social Goes Live
Scotty let us know about The Social, a new website aimed at the social aspects of Halo 3. It's a place to share content, stats, and more; they've even got their own medal chest (a lot like Bungie's medal chest, except with different medals). Take a look - and if you like what you see, sign up! (Louis Wu 11:25:55 UTC) (permalink)
Good Game.
It's Tuesday, so it's time for a Tied The Leader update. XerxdeeJ doesn't disappoint - there are a few new bits to be seen. There's a funny whine about those gold bars that'll show up on the bottom of your rank icon if you wait too long to level up, there's an interview with the Grifball League's new commissioner (TTL's own QuikThnkr), and there are new (and amazing) shots at El Burritoh's Haloramics subsite.

Arbiter Helmet - smoothing continues.
Keegan stopped by again to show off the basic smoothing on his Arbiter helmet - looking pretty good! (If you missed 'em, earlier pictures went up a few days ago.) (Louis Wu 11:04:07 UTC) (permalink)
Baby Got Back
Elnea has posted Halo Action Figure 135, and once again she's focusing on the physical. (Or maybe Jason's focusing on the physical. I'm not sure.) Either way, though, any strip that references Buckaroo Banzai can't be all bad. (Louis Wu 11:01:09 UTC) (permalink)
The Return of the Sniper
Ultimate Dragon let us know that Sniper vs Noob Documentary #3 has been released - it's more a vehicle for showing off fun Forge ideas than a serious machinima, but it's nicely presented. Take a look! (Louis Wu 10:59:02 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Championship - kicking off tonight
SketchFactor reminds everyone that the official playlist for the Halo 3 Championship sponsored by the Army and Xbox.com will be online starting tonight, at 9pm PDT. (That's a little more than 15 hours from the time of this writing.) You've still got a few days to register, if you haven't yet. (Louis Wu 09:49:42 UTC) (permalink)
Recon's in the works.
Yesterday, Bungie posted an in-depth interview with Todd McFarlane, focusing on how his Halo action figures are created. There's an awful lot of info there... take a look! (Louis Wu 09:46:02 UTC) (permalink)
