Fighting the Covenant for the Savior
Sarcastic Gamer has an informational piece on the Vatican City Olympic Halo 3 team, gearing up for domination this month in Beijing. Will they win? Only time will tell! (Louis Wu 23:04:05 UTC) (permalink)
Grind Rider - Official Trailer
JustAnotherFan pointed out a post on Bungie.net advertising the Grind Rider trailer - a Halo-based Western. Looks fun... but you'll have to wait until October for the actual machinima! (Louis Wu 22:57:04 UTC) (permalink)
In Search of Truth
Over at NeoGAF, Cocopjojo posted a Halo-inspired piece called 'In Search of Truth', written by his buddy musicman117. I think it's great - you should go listen to it. It's being hosted currently at Ascendant Justice. (Louis Wu 17:06:24 UTC) (permalink)

Cortana - Glowing
MsValentine has appeared in public in her Halo 2 Cortana outfit a few times - but her recent outing, at the 2008 San Diego ComicCon, yielded some amazing photos. We've put up a gallery. Check it out. (Louis Wu 16:07:45 UTC) (permalink)
Matchmaking Ep 16 (and a teaser for Season 2)
Darkspire Films posted the final episode for Matchmaking Season One, 'Matchmaking Episode 16 - Destiny', a couple of weeks ago... but we missed it. Good stuff. There's also a teaser for Season 2 - coming soonish! Thanks, UltimaPooh. (Louis Wu 15:51:58 UTC) (permalink)
Halo undergarments?
Hmm... this is a little odd. Gemini Ace has a pic of a couple of pairs of Halo-themed boxers and lounge pants found at Kohl's (a nationwide department store chain). A little searching found the lounge pants for sale on eBay (just under 7 days remaining) - no luck on another source for the boxers, though. Thanks, t4ng0. Update: s_tygard55 is sharper than I am - he went to kohls.com and found both the lounge pants and the boxers, for much less than that eBay auction. (Louis Wu 15:17:00 UTC) (permalink)

There's Something About Halo 3: The Covenant
Back in November 2006, There's Something about Halo 2 was released on Newgrounds - a flash parody of the Halo 2 storyline. Apparently, the Halo 3 version was cancelled - but one part, The Covenant, was released recently by its creator. Too bad we can't see the whole thing! Thanks, Psychophan7.

Halo: Homefront

Master Chief and Grunts, in Silver, on eBay
The first of the Weta 1-of-a-kind silver statues (we discussed 'em here, with high-res versions of the silver images here) went on sale on eBay late last night - you've still got nine and a half days to decide what it's worth to you, but the Master Chief and Grunts statue is already up to $1000. (The reserve has not yet been met.) Lots of pics and info in the eBay listing - full details on the piece, plus a list of extra goodies the winner will get. Go read about it - and if your wallet is big enough, put down a bid! (Louis Wu 12:20:34 UTC) (permalink)
