Legendary Map Code Giveaway
Domino Theory, undaunted by the insane amount of reading he needed to do to pick a winner in the Ask a Rookie contest last weekend, has kicked off ANOTHER contest - this one is for a Legendary map code. All you have to do is enter. Do it only once, and do it before Friday night. Read the page for full details! (Louis Wu 22:58:15 UTC) (permalink)
Just Kazoo It.
Bryan Simon is hosting a contest - cover one of his Halo 3 songs, and you've got a shot at a bag of sunflower seeds, a year of Xbox LIVE, and a spot on his Friends List. What more could you want? Thanks to urk for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 22:38:33 UTC) (permalink)
ODST Speed Painting
urk highlighted a very cool speed painting of a Halo 3 ODST, done by Sean McCoy - I love watching these things, especially when they're done by great artists! (Louis Wu 18:56:40 UTC) (permalink)
M2@F
sniper2477 pointed out a video by Sp00nerism which takes those 'Message to all Friends' messages on LIVE to task. If you're tired of hearing them... well, don't watch this video, because there are a bunch of them here. (Wait, I'm pretty sure that's not the right way to promote this vid...)

2
Jamie98s is back to Machinima-making, and this one's a little... different. He's got a full explanation for it - but you're better off watching it, and seeing what you get out of it on your own. It's called '2', and it's available on his site either streaming (via YouTube), or downloadable (from RapidShare). Because we like his work, we're making the downloadable .AVI available from our servers... as well as a QuickTime and a WMP9 version. (All downloadable versions are about 40 mb.) Go watch!

Tag and Release: Night
It's Monday, so Bungie's got another Tag and Release feature for you. Today's tag: 'Night'. Did they find some cool pics? You bet your nightvision they did! Go see if you can grab anything better! (Louis Wu 17:45:29 UTC) (permalink)
More Mythic Codes from RUL
Ready Up Live is giving away ANOTHER pair of Mythic Map codes - all you have to do is come up with a good acronym for 'MYTHIC'. Swing by the Bungie Blog for details (or go straight to RUL's contest page). (Louis Wu 17:43:41 UTC) (permalink)
I don't need GPS, because I am the map
skullkruncher13 and patfan8326 put together a Halo 3 rap called 'Halo 3 Rimz'. Some of the rhymes are a little sketchy, but overall they did a nice job! Thanks, urk. (Louis Wu 17:40:26 UTC) (permalink)
Hot Chick Sells Halo Goodies
Hawty McBloggy found a life size Halo 2 Master Chief for sale on eBay... being sold by an adult film star. Not sure why that's relevant (except that she shows up in the image pics, with clothing)... but hey, if you're looking for a reason to browse this sort of listing... there you go.

Halo Wars Concept Art
gunluva noticed a post at Kotaku that contains a large collection of Halo Wars concept art. They got it from conceptart.org, where it had been posted by Marco Nelor, apparently an artist with Ensemble who didn't want to see this material lost when the studio doors close. The conceptart.org versions are larger - but I'm guessing the Kotaku bandwidth will last longer. Go look - because some of these pieces are amazing. (Louis Wu 16:02:30 UTC) (permalink)
Comics - and a change
We're going to shift the way we report Halo-related comics; there are simply too many of them to provide a newspost for each. So: every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, there'll be a summary of all releases since the last update. This should keep total comic-related posts to a tolerable level, while still keeping readers informed of updates to their favorite strips. Therefore: comic updates since the last comic update -
- Bloogyo stopped by yesterday with worf of Rat's Nest and Vendetta, two new strips at Halo3Webcomics. Rat's Nest is a comedy, and is 6 strips in. Vendetta is a downloadable PDF-style comic, and is two episodes in.
- TTL Demag0gue announced the release of Reclaimer 163 ("Nodal Disruption") - and things go boom.
Okay, the next comic update will be on Wednesday! (Louis Wu 15:58:04 UTC) (permalink)
