2v2 tourney starting in July at iGames
Servando Pena let us know about a multiweek Halo 3 2v2 slayer tournament being hosted by iGames (an organization of LAN gaming centers) being held on Thursdays around the US. The regular season starts on July 2, and the playoffs start 6 weeks later (August 13). More details can be found at the iGames website. Servando's center, Evolution Games, is participating - if you're in the San Antonio, TX area, stop by!

ubald's final permutations
Tony 'ubald' Marcotte sent word of another Halo render he'd completed - this one shows off the last of the armor permutations he hasn't done. Rogue, Scout, and Mark V are all shown. We've added the image to his gallery here at HBO. Check it out! (Louis Wu 19:00:36 UTC) (permalink)
These don't just grow on vehicle trees!
It's been a while since he sent along any new snippets, but Captain Spark was apparently driving pretty badly recently. Check out the results in our Dialogue Databank! (Louis Wu 17:43:01 UTC) (permalink)
A Sangheili's War Is Never Over - the Conclusion
Leviathan seems to have gotten tired of the 'one page every few days' release schedule of his graphic novel-ish story called 'A Sangeili's War Is Never Over' - he released the last four episodes all at once today. (Episodes 8 and 9, with a recap from episode 7, are in this forum post... and episodes 10 and 11 are in this forum post.) This really was a fantastic story - great plot, amazing artwork. If you've missed it, start at the beginning (links are in the first post)... if you've been keeping up, read the end! (Louis Wu 17:20:32 UTC) (permalink)
Tag and Release - HSSBOB
The Tag and Release feature released today uses 'HSSBOB' as the flagged term - it's screenshots submitted for HaloScreenshots.com's Best of the Best competition. Check out the images urk came up with - and then search the tag yourself, for even more goodies! (Louis Wu 17:17:22 UTC) (permalink)
Comic Monday
Looks like the only updated comic we know about is Bloogyo's mention of Rat's Nest 19 7 - guess it was a slow weekend! (Louis Wu 17:14:09 UTC) (permalink)

UK ODST Discount Evaporating
tb2571989 pointed out that UK retailer Argos has upped their price for Halo 3: ODST from £26.99 to £36.49 - much more in line with the US price of $60. (Nearly exactly in line, in fact.) If you're a UK buyer, and didn't preorder when we mentioned the price war a couple of weeks ago, it looks like you might ALMOST have missed your window - GAME and Gamestation have also bumped their prices up to the £35 range. Gameplay (as of the time of this writing) is still offering the game at £30 - this might be your best bet, and will almost certainly rise soon. (Louis Wu 17:05:29 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3: ODST - mixing it up
The Seattle Times has posted an interesting summary of Halo 3: ODST, with some nice background info on Bungie themselves. If you're interested in where they are, and where they're going, this is worth a read. (Louis Wu 13:36:29 UTC) (permalink)
Master Chief and Cortana Tribute
j m sent us a link to a tribute video he made, paying homage to the love between Cortana and the Chief. Starts slow, but the overall feeling is quite good. (Louis Wu 13:35:29 UTC) (permalink)
Wait... they - what?
This post, on a chinese forum, found its way into my Google Alerts folder. I have to say, it's one of the hardest-to-read posts I've seen in a while (from a color/background standpoint)... and it's one of the most out-there theories I've ever seen (from a crazy fan standpoint). Sort of fun to see all of the 'evidence' in one place, though...Update: this is almost surreal - Narcogen pointed out that this is a repost of a Bungie.net forum post originally put online in late 2007 (just after the release of Halo 3). Whoa.
