Grifball Matchmaking Top 10 Highlights
Bungie's Blog has a tipoff to a Grifball highlights film - the gameplay is great, the commentary... not so much. Worth watching, though, because some of the plays are really spectacular. (Louis Wu 19:16:36 UTC) (permalink)
New Resources for Halo 3 Comic Artists
TTL Demag0gue announced a new series of features for webcomics publishers - once or twice a week, articles containing tips and tricks will be posted on Halo3Webcomics.com. The first pair of articles are up now - go read about how to make good text balloons and where to find good comic fonts. Useful stuff, for up-and-coming comic artists!

The end... of something.
KP announced last night that irc.bungie.org is closing its doors. Those doors opened almost five years ago, over at Homelan... and it's been a good run. It's time, though, to move along. For the next few days, the name will redirect to irc.adelais.net, a server run by some friends and members of the Halo community. Repoint your bookmarks... because even the redirect is going soon. Huge thanks go out to KP for his maintenance of this home for HBO-related chat (and, by the time the doors closed, for many, many other Halo sub-communities) - and thanks, too, to all who've visited and contributed.

Halo 3 Everything you Know is Wrong
Over at the Bungie Blog, urk highlighted a video which I found to be hilarious and well-made - Pattythedog615 created 'Halo 3 Everything you Know is Wrong', a video that uses Halo 3, Garry's Mod (a Half-Life 2 mod), and a Weird Al song to show you that nearly anything is possible in Halo machinima. Go watch!
