You know you play too much Halo when...
Hawty McBloggy asked a while back if you could play too much Halo - she's posted the answers (submitted by fans) in her blog. Read what folks have sent in - and see how many make sense to you! (Louis Wu 21:12:23 UTC) (permalink) 
New Reality Show Looking for Gamers
Ben Winterman stopped by with word of a new reality show that will focus on finding the 'ultimate gamer', and is currently looking for folks who want to audition. Tryouts to be held in 4 major US cities - read the flyer for full details! (We got a copy of this ourselves, but since Ben has already announced it, it's easier to point to his forum post.)

Halo Wars Box Art Joystiq (and other sites) have what is purported to be the Halo Wars box art - presumably released at the Leipzig Games Convention. It looks an awful lot like some fan mockups, though, and the proportions of the actual models seem off, so I'm suspicious. If we get confirmation from an official source, we'll update this newspost. Thanks, BootStrap Boon. Update: MasterChief2829 pointed out that you can find this logo at Microsoft's ProSource press website - that's a decent confirmation of its legitimacy.

G.R.I.E.F. Trailer You might remember Smooth Few Films - they've been making machinima for quite some time (with lots of accolades), and have dipped their toes in the Halo 3 world (The Over-Achiever, The Bag Boy, The GunStop Way) - looks like they're back, with a trailer for an upcoming project called 'G.R.I.E.F'. As usual, high production values, huge potential - looking forward to the actual series! Huzzah! Thanks, Rosco-128. (Louis Wu 12:56:01 UTC) (permalink) 
Halo.fr visits Bungie
Halo.fr's Johnny Be Good let us know that Sirkan (a staff member of the site) went to visit Bungie Studios in early August - there's a writeup and a bunch of pictures of the lobby on the Halo.fr blog. I'm told an English translation is coming soon. (Louis Wu 12:51:51 UTC) (permalink)
