Custom Desert MC
Dalteth took a McFarlane Master Chief, modified it for sniping action, and rebuilt the parts he broke. Then he repainted the whole shebang. You can find the results in our Miscellaneous section. You can let him know what you think in his forum thread. (Louis Wu 22:32:50 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: Uprising - the strong push
Now that all four issues of Halo: Uprising have actually been released, Marvel's started some hardcore marketing of the hardcover version of the collection - you can view some shots from it in this MTV article, and you can read the first issue of the comic online for free. (Me? I'm waiting for Helljumpers and Black.) (Louis Wu 18:41:29 UTC) (permalink)
A REAL Community Spotlight
The Bungie.net Community Spotlight this week shines on... well, everybody. Bungie's picked out some of their favorites from multiple communities, rather than focus on a single community. Go see what's there! (Louis Wu 18:37:15 UTC) (permalink)
Hope Unto Dawn - Raising Money and Having Fun
A whole bunch of gaming groups are getting together to help FacilityB5D make their latest charity effort, 'Hope Unto Dawn', a tournament to raise money for Child's Play, a success. You can read more details (and find a promo vid) at Bungie.net. (Louis Wu 18:34:08 UTC) (permalink)
Weekly Tourneys in London
According to the Bungie Blog, there's a company in England that's hosting tournaments every Thursday in London (other cities, too) - swing by your favorite Gamerbase and play some Halo! (Louis Wu 18:29:01 UTC) (permalink)
H3O Stats Compiler - Updated
Urban Reflex pointed out that a stats compiler that's been around for a while has been updated - H3O Stats Compiler is now up to v1.0.5. (It's also been updated to work with Halo 2, again.) Grab a copy (Windows/Linux only, unfortunately for Mac users) and see how you're doing! (Louis Wu 18:22:40 UTC) (permalink)
Bryan Simon - Movie Making Maniac
A few of us tried out NOKYARD's latest Grifball arena last night - Bryan Simon captured the (embarrassing) gameplay. Don't look at the hammering, look at the court! Bryan's also got a couple of other goodies for you: The Voicemail Chronicles, Volume Six is full of lulz, and a new song, a tribute to Tetra Shot and Tensor (who won the Golden Ticket contest held by VG), is a fun kickback to the Willy Wonka days. Go watch! (Louis Wu 17:57:50 UTC) (permalink)
Thunder From Above
The Duo Group doesn't produce a LOT of Halo 3 machinima... but what they DO produce is top-quality. Their latest entry is 'Thunder From Above' - a teaser for the upcoming Halo 3: ODST game. Gives me chills.

Halo Stitching
Hawty McBloggy is highlighting a nice piece of cross-stitch work, put together by stitcher for a friend. I'd hang that! (Louis Wu 17:13:24 UTC) (permalink)
Warthogs and Trick Jumps and Robots, Oh My!
Bunch of new vids available, news courtesy of your friends at the BungLog™
- H3Wheelmen hailing from the Netherlands have put together the Dutchtage - it's not all vehicle-based, but quite a bit of it is.
- Team Ascend has created 'Ascendency' - a trick-jumping montage. Lots of flying.
- KillPie takes a look at Killer Robots taking over... well, everything.
Nice variety! (Louis Wu 17:10:45 UTC) (permalink)
Elite Patrol - Episode Two
thebest233 stopped in with word of Elite Patrol - Episode Two. New characters, new confrontations. (Louis Wu 17:10:08 UTC) (permalink)
Gamer Doc Halo 3 Tourney - Championship
Back in early April, we mentioned a chain-wide Halo 3 Tournament at Gamer Doc stores - they're down to the final five teams now (according to this press release), and these teams will be competing for the $4000 grand prize this coming Saturday. Apparently, you'll be able to watch from any Gamer Doc store.

Wednesday Comic Roundup
There are a few comics for you today - a couple of regulars seem to be missing (Reclaimer's still MIA and ODS Steve never got posted this week), but here are the rest:
- The Catfish has posted 2501 - Episode 57 (on Monday) and 2501 - Episode 58 (on Tuesday) - violence and story progression.
- Dennis Powers let us know about Shipwrecked Episode 69 - Wind Trap. I'm thinking the wind trap isn't the most important thing in this episode.
- Bloogyo told us about Rat's Nest 15 8 - with Grunty Buddys?
Go read! Update: Looks like I just didn't wait long enough - Reclaimer 190 (Gilgamesh) is now up (thanks, TTL Demag0gue!) Things are getting scary... (Louis Wu 17:08:42 UTC) (permalink)

Thanks to RedBlueFire, who pointed out a new giveaway at High Impact Halo; if you live near Miami, Infinite Bits is a Video Game convention to be held there in late October, and HIH will be providing two free tickets/month - all you have to do is post in the thread. Read for details! (Louis Wu 17:07:45 UTC) (permalink)
