Can't finish what you started? Start something else.
Wow, this is just... silly. Back in mid-2006, Marvel announced that they'd be publishing a monthly Halo comic, starting a few months before the release of Halo 3. The delivery of these issues has become a joke - the fourth (and last) comic is STILL not out, having had its release date pushed back AGAIN, to March 4, 2009 (given that it's been pushed back more than a dozen times, the chances that we see it in March are slim to none). With that horrible record, you'd think Marvel would stay pretty far away from the Halo franchise... but you'd be wrong. According to io9.com, they used New York Comic Con to announce that they're launching not one, but TWO new Halo-based comic series, the first this summer (a five-issue run), the second, 'Halo: Spartan Black', next winter. Thanks to Bongo for the heads-up (and subsequent rise in blood pressure). (Louis Wu 21:17:57 UTC) (permalink)
Studying a game WAY past the 'fun' threshold
Psychophan7 put together a ridiculously detailed analysis of the management of resources in the Halo Wars demo. Read it if you've got a while. (Louis Wu 20:58:06 UTC) (permalink)
Grab the popcorn
A couple of movies for you this afternoon, brought to your attention by Master Ph0bia: Darkspire's Matchmaking Episode 19 has been released, either streaming or downloadable in 720p, and stars a guy I met in Matchmaking last night. And Arby n the Chief Season 3 Episode 07 ("Panic") is up - folks try and come to grips with the loss of achievements and unlocked armor (stick around to the very end for a funny moment).

Operation Chastity: More Concept Art
Last night, ElusiveEagle519 did some searching and turned up some interesting information about Pete Cooper's Operation Chastity. Pete had been hoping to dole out content a little more slowly, but since it's been found, he was kind enough to summarize the useful stuff that was put up in several different posts across a couple of threads - swing by to see truly amazing concept art for the upcoming movie project. If they can live up to what their plans are suggesting, this is going to be one HELL of a fan project. (Louis Wu 15:55:52 UTC) (permalink)
A pair of vids
2900d4u used Halo Wars cinematic footage and audio from the GI Joe trailer to make a new video about Spartan Group Omega. He also figured out how to use the Elephant as a cannon. Check out both vids in his forum post. (Louis Wu 15:55:27 UTC) (permalink)
Holograms

Halo Wars MEGA Bloks - First View
InnerRayg found a link on Action-Figure.com with a mini-review and some photos of the upcoming Halo Wars MEGA Bloks. Our forum denizens aren't terribly impressed, it seems (except for maybe the Hornet and the Sparrowhawk)... but see for yourself!

BWU: Mythic Info
Bungie posted its weekly update, as usual, last night (and we made it available in our Weekly Update Archive, as usual, last night) - but it didn't manage to make the front page until now. Just because we're tardy about letting you know, don't think you shouldn't read it - it's full of useful tidbits. It does a lot of clarifying of information made available over the past week - busting rumors before they've really gotten a chance to get rolling, as it were. Most of it involves Sandbox, the big reveal of last week - so go check it out! (For what it's worth, urk's coy hint about the release date of the Mythic Maps as DLC can be deciphered using our Halo Story Timeline.) (Louis Wu 15:44:56 UTC) (permalink)
